A Pity Party Brought New Discoveries
Sigh. It's been a week! I try not to dwell on difficult things when they happen, raised with the old adage that we pick ourselves up by our bootstraps when we take a hit, dust ourselves off, and start again.
But this time was different. I lost my Instagram and Facebook accounts after being on the platforms for years. I was hacked a couple of months ago, added all the security measures both platforms offered, and then woke up one morning and they were gone. I appealed, called, and texted support, but to no avail. They are gone. Such is the perils of being subject to other's controlled platforms.
I was so sad about all the content posted, connections made, and being part of a community that I was adrift for a couple of days trying to decide what to do.
Out of my pity party, I created a new blog and added more information to my website to make it more social media-like with updates and what's to come. I'd love for you to check it out if you can.
That being said, I would really love it if you could support my rebuild on Instagram. I am also starting a new endeavor on TikTok, which should be fun and interesting, so please follow me there, too!
I also have to admit I had some unexpected damage at my home that occupied my time with various contractors coming in and out. My word count has suffered greatly, but Marco will still be released on time, hopefully earlier, if I can clear my head of my recent troubles and focus on what matters—the joy of writing and publishing stories you love!
Last but not least, in honor of Halloween, I wanted to highlight my darkest book ever, Isla! Her story is traumatic, heartwrenching, and difficult to read at some parts. Content warnings are on my website, so DON'T go in blind! There are some very troubling scenes and abuse that could be triggering if you're not prepared.
But honestly, if I'm allowed to talk behind the backs of my book babies, she's my favorite book.
Anyway, Happy Tuesday! I hope you're week is starting off on the right foot!
Much love,
GiGi
