Day 3 – What am I doing?
Hello again,
I should note, I am using this as a sounding board for my thoughts. There is no laid out plan or thought, I just write what I’m feeling in the moment.
Right now, I’m getting anxious about my next release. I haven’t had a release in over a year. I’ve had problems with writers block, focusing on one book and just finding the time to write. Today, I got a cover, figured out my title and I’m almost done writing. That means it will go out to the betas soon and then I will start getting feedback. This next book is different than the rest. I’ve put time into researching certain aspects and I’m really proud of it. For some reason, this book makes me more nervous than the rest and the others have been more personal.
It’s time like this where I wonder what am I doing? I write because I love to write. I write because I have a million ideas in my head and I want to share them with whoever wants to read them. That’s what I tell myself every time I freak out. I tell myself if I love it and I’m proud of it, that’s all that matters.
Time to write. Be happy and follow what you want to do.
Love, Ivy

Day Two – Late Night Thoughts
Hello again,
I’m back. Two days in a row. I said I wanted to reach out to you more and I do. Plus, I used to blog all the time and I do miss it. I enjoy writing in general. Sometimes it’s a way for me to just lose myself from a day. Other times it’s a way to release the crazy thoughts from my head and other days it’s just because. I’ve always loved writing even before I pushed publish on my first book. My journals and diaries were my best friends. I don’t know about you, but my childhood diaries were where I could be honest about how I felt about everything. It was the one place I knew I could never be judged, because I was the only person who would ever read it.
I realize it isn’t the same now. Every time I realize a book, I’ll be judged on the contents, but as long as I’m happy with what I’m sharing then that is all that matters in the end.
That’s all for now. Time for research, writing and then sleep. Until later.
Love, Ivy

Daily Blog Post
Hello World!
As I mentioned on Facebook, I’m going to try and start being more active here. Last night I was writing and came up with some ideas, but I wanted to get your thoughts on it. As most of you know I write romance and a lot of dark reads. I cannot wait to share my next book with you because I’ve been doing some research and it’s going to be killer.
At any rate, what I’m going to be transitioning into is possibly true crime and fictional serial killer with a twist. I don’t think I’ll abandon romance completely, but I’ve always been intrigued by the way people think and why people act the way they do and ultimately why they do what they do. My next book does have romance in it, so don’t worry, but it is definitely going to have a thriller aspect to it too.
My question this time is for those that read me now, would you still read what I put out, if I were to change genres? I understand true crime is a totally different genre. But, if I were to write something with a killer, would that interest you or no? I want to hear your opinions because that really helps me out.
I know I need to finish a few other things first, but that is the direction I would like to go, so let me know in the comments.
Love, Ivy
