I promise I’m not dead.
My sarcasm aside, it’s been ages since I’ve been active on here. I’m gonna bring ya’ll up to speed as best as I can. Lately, I’ve been getting messages expressing concern for my wellbeing (love you guys, seriously) so I’ll set the record straight:
1: I had a writers block, minus doing a lot of poetry on Twitter (been active on there a lot writing up a storm!). I needed to take time away from requests, drabbles, etc. so I could recharge.
2: I have been struggling to make money by doing odd jobs. Due to COVID and school restrictions, I lost my teaching career. It’s been difficult finding time to write anything lengthy like I normally do because of that. Jobs have been slim pickings in my area as well, so the struggle is intensely legit.
3: The fires that ravaged the West Coast also affected the area where I live. Two cities nearby me are completely decimated. I’ve spent time helping friends recover from the ordeal and assisted in recovery of items. To say my heart has been heavy has been an understatement.
4: I’m gearing up to get my peer support certification. Those of you that have been around me for a long time, know how important this is to me. Hopefully, it’ll open up a career and get me out of the poverty pit I’m in now and I can help more people.
5: I’ve had health problems. Between fibromyalgia, arthritis, etc. I had a blood clot that was luckily caught in its beginning stages and taken care of. I’m doing good, but needed a lot of rest and recoup after that ordeal.
6: I’ve been working on a manuscript for a poetry project in which I interview folks over zoom and write about them (if you want to take part, please DM me!). This has been a huge passion of mine as of late and I feel that I am getting close to finally putting some of my work out there.
There’s probably more, but that’s the gist of it. I’ve needed to take a break and focus on life. Nature is unforgiving much like the pandemic we are all dealing with. That being said, I’d really like to get back into taking requests for people. Even if its small, I’d enjoy making someone’s day a little brighter with my drabbles. I probably won’t be able to whip them out quick, but I’ll do my best.
I love you guys. We’re gonna get to the good. 💙
