It has come to my attention that for a romance author, I spend an awful lot of time not writing…
Here’s what I’ve been up to instead:
How has this beach been here the entire 30+ years I’ve lived on Vancouver Island, and I knew nothing about it?
It was really fun to take a break from the writing grind and look for fossils. Although, mostly what we found were shells.
I do have lots of plans for getting some writing in on Mystic Beach where we are headed to for a two night backpacking trip. It’ll be glorious!!! (Mystic Beach does show up in some of my books and in the Enchanting Elaine bonus.
It’s rugby season again. Which means a ridiculous amount of distractions!
But I wouldn’t change it for anything.
The rugby community is so amazing! You can go to so many places in the world and have a family built right in!
Plus there is something very cathartic about tackling people.
Heading through the Rocky Mountains on vacation with my family was the perfect distraction from writing.
I’m not sure if I would do the coaster again. It was fun, but my PTSD doesn’t like the sensation of my stomach dropping.
Kids said it was a definite do again scenario!
Crocheting is so regulating, but I have to admit it does get in the way of writing.
Plus, I’ve got a ridiculous number of sweaters now!
The beach is my happy place, but I don’t get there nearly often enough.
Mystic Beach is my favourite beach that is an easy drive from home.
It’s a bit too far to go regularly, but when I get the chance, it’s wonderful.
Did I mention there is a waterfall and a sea cave?
It even appears in a bonus book…
Who doesn’t like taking a moment out of their day to read their tarot cards?
You never know what you might learn…
Maybe it’s that it’s time for this romance author to try writing a book that isn’t a romance… 😲
I know it’s awkward that these are in two different videos. It’s a social media thing. And I apparently didn’t save the full version.
But let’s be real—awkward is my kind of my vibe. Or brand? 🤷♀️
Social Media does not come easy for me! I don’t understand it. Could live my entire life without it.
Although, I do enjoy comedians and kitten videos. But I digress.
As an indie romance author, I’ve got to market and promote my books, and that means braving social media.
Check out this video where I speak to that challenge—and how I’m so awkward!!!
Actually, you can see that part for yourself!
