Writing has been hard to come by so far.

It's either the inspiration to write is challenging to find or time itself isn't on my side. However, idea's are still flowing and a plan is in place. A slow plan, but a plan nevertheless.

While I'm not writing as much as I'd like to, I'm still making progress by taking steps in getting the word out on myself and current works. I encourage all writers (or anyone in a creative field for that matter) to do this.

I've had the promotional help of Indie Book Butler (http://www.indiebookbutler.com), Independent Author Network (http://www.independentauthornetwork.com/) and am working on actual print advertisement (more on that when the time is right). So while things (including myself, admittedly) make writing harder, that's still no excuse not to make progress in other ways.

Look into marketing your work and yourself, read a new book to gain a little more inspiration and always keep it in your head to stay active with your social media followers and people outside of your creative world.

After these busy weeks clear up, I do intend to get back on the writing horse. My initial goal of having a full length story out by end of the year may still happen, but I've gotta work hard at it.

Work hard at it too and you'll see your work, and yourself, make the creative gains towards that next step. I hope to bring about something special soon so we can share in that success.

Oh, hello friend! It's been some time, hasn't it?

While some authors may make it a point to denounce excuses, I'm going to be real and say that life is happening.

I have a day job that brings in income needed to help support myself and my family and it's tough to get into a writing mindset a lot of times. It's been over one year since my last blog post! The focus of family and making sure everyone else is taken care of is important to me so that comes first.

However, I am alive and well, which means that writing is happening as well but at a much slower pace.

As an update, I've been writing a full length story which has me stumped. In the meantime, I've gotten to writing another short story I've had in my head for some time. This will be released before the full length piece (it might even become a novella, depending). I'll get in some teasers eventually so make sure to follow me on twitter via @RealRicSantos.

Anything else to mention? It's after 11:10pm and I'm tired from the day so nothing exciting really. Just letting you all know I'm still here, writing when I can and there's more to come.

I won't leave you behind.

Goodreads friends!

I've started a blog, more so a space for me to share my musings, which is...a blog... yeah.

Check out Ric Writes Stuff by visiting https://ricwritesstuff.blogspot.com/

I'll be bringing up various thoughts, ideas and sharing media that inspires or helps me in some way. It's also a nice thing to do in between writing stories.

I hope you join me over at Ric Writes Stuff and thank you very much!

Hello, Hello, Hello!

It's been a minute, hasn't it? I hope whoever's eyes lands on this page is doing well and has been well since the last time I was here.

I hope to post more writing; though I can't promise I will be as consistent as I want to be. However, I will make it a point to stop in and say hello when I can.

I will, for sure, add a new post in the coming week with an update(?) on happenings in my creative life, but wanted to add my first blog post of 2023 here.

In this post, which you may find interesting or not, I dive into how I've adopted a method to practically watch my favorite streaming services for free.

It sounds like a spam post, but I assure you kind reader, it is not. I've thought a lot about financials this past year and just wanted to share an idea to maybe help someone who is also trying to find ways of saving their own money and re-learn the value of a dollar.

You can find my latest post on Medium by clicking here .

If you like what you read, if you enjoy what you've read from me, you can also donate to my no Ko-fi page by clicking here .

No pressure, but I would greatly appreciate it.

With that said, I'm off to enjoy my Friday evening and hope you do too, Until next week, stay gold...

Best
Ric
