Welp.
It’s been a heck of a long time since my last blog. And a lot has happened since then.
Unfortunately, I’ve left my job as children’s librarian assistant. Which was frankly, one of the saddest things I’d ever done. I miss my gremlins and the staff so much.
But, on the bright side, it was because I’ve moved. I’ve left my good ol’ Jersey Shore for the shores of a great lake and some serious snowy conditions. Upstate NY is a different jungle than NJ. But I’m up here on my own with my partner and he’s decided to go back to school so I’ve come up here with him.
The move has been a lot–and I miss my friends and family back home. And learning how to be me without the context of my home has been hard.
I’ve got a new Day Job (which is not at the library) and writing has been hard. I’m trying to get into a routine, which is not easy with all my depression and such. But I’m trying, y’all.
It’s hard to believe this year is over (almost). It’s been quite a roller coaster and I’m still not sure how I feel about the ride. With 2020 on the near horizon, I’ve got a lot of things I’d like to try and be better at.
Some personal goals include getting back into running, eating healthier, and knitting more. Keep the house cleaner, like doing the dishes when I use them instead of a week later, or laundry on a more regular schedule. Remembering to get the mail. That sort of stuff.
Writing-wise, I’d like to finish more than one book, and get to querying soon after. I’m also a part of the new Workshop Swap group, a place for writers to write and edit and get feedback on their work. It’s been great to find a circle of writerly friends and work with them. It reminds me of my WCYA tribe from my MFA program.
Regardless, I think I’m ready to leave 2019 behind and start 2020 with a fresh perspective and a healthier mindset.
