Let me just start by saying that social media is hard for me. Ive always been a private person, content with my few close friends and family. I dont feel like I should bore people with menial events in my life - like I should only post when theres something important in my life, or something upbeat. The last few months have been a mixture of frustration and fear at the words not coming, false starts that fizzled out, and me not sticking to my own writing/publishing schedule, all of which made me feel like Id let my readers down. That feeling caused me to pull back from social interactions (online and otherwise) all the more, even when I had new books coming out, new readers finding both my social media and my blog. For that I apologize. Writing, something Ive been doing forever and always loved, became mechanical, a job, and losing that passion made me depressed. Yes, thats a word (diagnosis?) that gets bandied about a lot, but after months of being uninspired, I thought Id never feel that passion again, and that dismal realization put me into a deeper funk. While Im happy to say that a surprise project has helped me rediscover that passion, I feel like Im wading through months of lost time trying to play catch-up. To those who have recently joined my little page, I promise its not all gloom and dour predictions; theres also LOLcats and funny videos and cute baby pictures with funny captions (LOLbabies? :D). Its just that Ive been gone so long, my first post back should be an explanation. So still expect the funny videos and hilarious captions, but know theres more going in the background, and I really am trying to create new content thatll make you guys proud. Love you all!
