Today was a tough-ish day for me, what with the immense allergies, and the annoying eczema I’ve been graced with very recently. I went back to sleep when the boyfriend went to work, and stayed that way for 2 minutes, hating how I felt while ‘awake.’
After a while of this, I decided to wake up and focus on things I needed to do. Applied for more jobs, and checked my Twitter. And got a nice surprise. I recently hit 400 followers. (Cue the trumpets.)
I know it’s not a lot (yet), but it’s a wonderful step in that direction. Anyway, I plugged A Night of Frivolity, you know that little horror, historical fiction, short story I wrote a year ago, published by Before Sunrise Press? And while looking for images of the book’s cover (this is a new laptop), I found a cute little website where I guess people can put their wishlists, and I found a Night of Frivolity on their wishlist along with a bunch of other cutesy vampire-esque things the person desires.
There’s something quite validating about someone wanting your work, whether that be verbally for visually. If anything it helped me feel a bit better about myself and the work I do.
(If you haven’t noticed, I’ve been a bit miserable and fighting to remain happy.)
I guess the things I’m re-learning (sigh, ain’t that always the way), is to remain focused on what I’ve done and what I plan to do and not get so hung up on the things that aren’t exactly happening yet. I will get there, like I did everything else, in time.
Keep your bite,

I hope you keep focused in the direction you want to go (: check out my stories too if you get the time.
Thank you. I’m staying focused definitely. Just the idea that many more people are going to read my stories keeps me going. And I’ll check them out soon. 🙂 Thanks for commenting.
