The Death of Kay Bennson?
I hope this blog post finds you well...
Honestly, not sure who reads here. The whole being gone for over a year certainly doesn't help. But I'm back...kinda. As the title of the post suggests. I'm not sure what the future is for Kay Bennson at the moment.
The person that used to post here, the person who self published her books, and wrote all sorts of things, she no longer exists. It's bittersweet to say that. That person found comfort in writing.
But I think that person used writing to disassociate and cope from the world around her. She was in a toxic, sometimes abusive situation that she hoped would improve and get better, but it got so bad that she had to make changes and writing had to be put aside so she could heal.
I won't get into more detail than that, but it's taken me almost two years to get to a place where I actually want to write again. Where my heart feels like it actually has something it wants to say.
That being said, Kay Bennson was part of that past life and while I think she helped nurture who I am today, I'm not sure I want to use that pen name anymore. I'm not sure if I want to be self published any more. Maybe a better way to explain it would be to tell you that any projects going forward I would like to pitch the trad pub way first. In my heart I feel that I've not reached my ceiling yet.
I do have another pen name I'd like to use someday. Maybe that will be the future for me.
If you have been reading all this time, I thank you for your support. I'll be keeping Enshrine and Squad Treble on Amazon and all the other vendor sites, but there will be no new tales in either of those universes.
To new ventures,
Kay
