It’s been a while since I have written my thoughts. A lot has changed since my last post. Those of you who enjoy my writing (as Lexie McGuire) don’t panic, I have not given up on my writing, but there have been items that have interfered with life… and therefore, my creativity.
It’s funny how things can take over if we let them, but it’s also good to take some time for proper healing. New jobs… completion of a lawsuit (thank God!) are things that can take their toll. For the record, even when those you are suing, choose to settle out of court, it can still be very exhausting (and OH so time consuming!!) I can’t recommend a lawsuit as a mode of entertainment for sure, but we do what me must for justice.
Even those things that are great and oh so exciting (starting new business adventures! Can I hear a woot woot!?!) can take your energy and creative desires if you let them.
Travel is soothing to the soul, if you do it according to your needs. Some like it busy (like my Guapo) and others like it quiet (pick me! pick me!) For sure I am one of those girls who wants her biggest decision to be “will I read by the pool, or will I read by the beach?” (Note the constant of reading… weird, right?) So we have done some travel as well to shed the past and walk towards the future, finding a mix so we can both enjoy our downtime.
I won’t make excuses for my solitude, nor will I belabor the points here for all the world to see, but suffice it to say, I’m back. And I have to tell you, it feels good!
I’m back to editing Never Say Die, and am working on completing While Dreams Come True as well as Web of Death. All titles, of course, are subject to change without notice 😉 but I’m finding the creative juices flowing again and that’s always a good thing. These novels will be available under the name Samantha Quinn, and of course, Forgiven Secrets is still available in print and for Kindle under the name of Lexie McGuire.
So as spring unfolds here in my little corner of the world, I too, feel like I’m waking up from a long hibernation. As always, I hope that life is good to you and you continue to always look for the funny! If you can’t do that on your own, stay tuned I’m here to help!!
To quote James Brown… “I feel good!” (you can picture me singing and dancing now)
