So like I said: I've been pretty occupied lately. I'm not expecting to be as busy for a bit, except that Christmas is coming up. We'll see.
Writing, though, will take precedence in my life pretty soon. It's never worked to make writing an entire story/novel in a year a New Year Resolution, but I might try it again. *shrugs* Nanowrimo hasn't helped with it, either, to be honest, because I prefer to do things more at my own pace. All in one month (or nearly) just feels so cramped up. Does that make sense?
-
I wish - very much - that I could "give away" a vast majority of the photos and images I've purchased over the last few years. But from what I've been able to tell from what I've asked and researched... that's impossible.
So now I have dozens of photos and images that I'll probably never use. Because no one is foolish enough to pay money for a mediocre book cover. Even if I request less than $50.

All right. So I'm back (don't run for the hills, okay?) and I aim to do some real writing in the next couple of weeks. I've been lazy for several months (I could have so much written since the pandemic started) but I have fairly high hopes of actually accomplishing something.
I'm going to focus on writing short stories since those are more within my "ability". Writing shorter is how I usually ended up doing things (IF I finished anything, I'm unaware of it), even though longer is still what I want.
I desperately hope no one will mind if I post a lot and ask for help with details. Also, I will try to get reading in some of your own works. But my reading-related attention span has been "on the fritz". And reading on the computer has never been easy for me. But I will try.

Need to try/test this link out. I'd do it on Facebook, but I've done it often there.

It does. I seriously need to get my blogsite up and running. I've been neglectful of it and this account and...
SO MUCH MORE. I have some serious hopes of getting several things accomplished in the next week. My blogsite and writing and a bit more.
A couple ladies and I started a ministry at church a couple of weeks ago and so far it's been hogging my time. Who knows, though? I may change my profile photo to a craft I made. If it's good enough.
Sorry. Blathering.

I've been meaning to share writing prompts I get in emails from Reedsy and other writing-related websites, but I keep forgetting.
I shall do so today if no one has any objections.

All right.
Book covers is apparently a lost cause. While I still have many photos as well as Photoshop Elements that I also purchased, I'm pretty sure most of them will go unused.
I had such high hopes for book covers. I joined a Facebook group and everything. *sigh*
Oh well....

Just a little heads up:
I am going to start posting here more often. Facebook is becoming more and more impossible. I use my account there, but they'll be changing their TOS soon and that'll make it worse. So the "club" I formed before.... LOOK OUT!!
-
Did I already share the cover I made for Predicted Downfall?
-
OK. So there are a few projects that I want to keep for myself (I'm just that selfish), but there are others that I want to see written/complete and published. No matter who writes them. I'd love to add my input concerning them (maybe) since they're my own ideas, but if they get written, that's what really counts. Well, IMO.
-
Facebook has new TOS (terms of service) as of 9/1 and I'm almost ready to throw in the towel. They are truly DISGUSTING and FOOLISH!
They are "reserving the right" to NOT publish posts containing anything they disagree with. Just reading the following "alert" (photo) made me almost sick!!
If not for the wonderful, God-fearing friends I've found there, I would have left long ago.

I figure maybe I'll get a complete story written (as in 100%) if I no longer have FB to occupy me. The hardest part about it, though, is the wonderful friends I've found there. Both in the writing arena and just in life. I can't exactly get all of them over here, this being a writing site. I'm not sure what I'll do if lose most of my friends there.
There's always finish something, but what about after that?

Even though it's been a lot of years since I was actually a teen/kid, a friend of mine suggested I try my hand at writing in that stage of life. I had a story I began writing long ago but never finished. Maybe I'll take it and make a few adjustments. Who knows?
