Hey, guys! Good news and bad news.
The good news is I'm back! :) The bad news is my posting schedule might change...
You see, years of writing--while highly rewarding on a creative level--has yet to pay my bills with any regularity. The same goes for design work and online teaching. Yes, it's all art and not about the money... but I'm also a single gal with a big dog to feed. I can't afford to keep working sixteen-hour days for a fluctuating fraction of minimum wage.

Beyond that, I've been vocationally restless for a while now. I want to put my business experience to use and take my skill set to the next level. I need to throw myself into a long-term position with the same enthusiasm I brought to my writing career--which, don't worry, is far from over. It's just time for a change.
I know, I know. Most of you want to ditch the day job and write full-time, and I'm craving the opposite. (Though, writing full-time with a living wage would be awesome!) Does that mean I'm about to fall off the map? Of course not. I'm just giving you guys a heads-up in case I have to adjust my posting schedule. Expect more web assessments, a break-down of my BookBub experience, and some helpful roundups in the coming weeks! :)
