#SlayYourFears Turns 5 - Fear of Fear

#SlayYourFears Turns 5 - Closing out the week with a look at the past and the future

This week, I’ve been revisiting all my old blog posts on the things that used to scare me to celebrate the fifth anniversary of Empath. It’s been especially interesting as I’ve just had a major life change – getting married last month. Taking the time to get introspective has been therapeutic for me, and I hope that it’s been helpful for you.

#SlayYourFears Turns 5 - Fear of Rejection

#SlayYourFears Turns 5 – Fear of Rejection

This week, I’ve been revisiting all my old blog posts on the things that used to scare me to celebrate the fifth anniversary of Empath. Back then, I wrote about the things that scared me, rejection, being alone forever, having no money, and it’s been interesting to see which of those fears I’ve conquered, and which rear their head every so often. It’s been especially interesting as I’ve just had…

#SlayYourFears Turns 5 - Fear of Being Alone Forever

Getting married kind of knocks the "forever" off the "alone forever" fear.  But there are still some downsides to independence. New #SlayYourFears Turns 5 post!

It’s been so fascinating to revisit all the things that used to scare me. I’m celebrating the fifth anniversary of Empath, my anxiety dragon book that has been a quiet hit around the country. When the book first came out, my twenty-or-so fans were treated to a series of introspective blog posts about what really scared me. I updated them about three years ago, but I thought it would be fun to…

Empath Turns 5 - And Still Teaches Me Stuff

Empath Turns 5 - And Still Teaches Me Stuff.

Five years ago today, I published a little book called Empath. It was my third published novel, a quick side-trip into my psyche in the middle of writing the Razia series. The cover featured a dragon drawn by my very talented cousin Cassondra, a wee babe at the time. I sold it at conventions, but it never did very much online, but I also didn’t give it much effort. Standalones, you know? Plus it…

I updated them about three years ago, but I thought it would be fun to update them again with how far…

Empath, Passion Projects, and Slaying Your Fears

Two years ago today, I released a little passion project called Empath. Nicknamed the “anxiety dragon” book, Empath was less about “what’s popular” and more about pouring my loneliness and ache for home into something else so it would leave me. I’d become overwhelmed with my anxiety, which flares and spirals like a dragon in my mind. I wanted to write the things I could never say to my ex because…
