A Day in... Pt. 2

 A (Very Exciting) Day in the Life of a Full-time Indie Author

2023: Quarter 2


Welcome to Quarter 2 of 2023!

I, in no way, hit a single goal of Quarter 1. C'est a vie, eh? I was overly optimistic and knew it going in, so I hadn't expected to complete all of those projects, but it was, admittedly, disappointing to have not finished writing or editing any of those stories. But this game called Publishing isn't for the faint of heart, and after coming out of severe creative burnout last year, I'm okay with not pushing myself. 

This is a new quarter and a new opportunity!

Reads: January, 2023


It's a new year and I'm back to posting a monthly roundup of my readings! These won't always be new reads, so much as a combination of fresh content, re-reads, and 'oops I forgot to write a review nine months ago,' but nonetheless, I hope the recommendations help you find something new and that you enjoy them as much as I did!
