Well, it’s been a long time since I was here. I feel so bad for my five-month hiatus. My last post was a follow-up to my confession of anger and reflected on the benefits of community. I discovered something about myself during my online silence, and maybe I’ll share it someday, but for now, I’ll just say that it took a lot out of me emotionally and mentally. And it wasn’t the only thing that was going on.
Now I’m here, in my final semester in college, possibly forever, I don’t know, but it is the last one at this school for sure. That means I’m in senior research and it’s rough. I mean, if it was my only class, I would be doing phenomenally right now. But it’s not, so I’m only doing okay. Haha! It’s also a weird time. I’ve been seeing reminders about FASFA and advisory meetings for next semester and… I don’t have to do any of that for the first time in five years!
So, what am I doing after graduation? Ha! You and everybody else have asked me that question and the answer is I have no idea. I didn’t plan to go to college, so I sure don’t have a plan now. But if there’s been one thing I’ve learned over the last few years it’s this: God has plans for me, and they are far beyond anything I can imagine for myself. I trusted Him with my education, and I’m having to learn to trust Him with my future.
That being said, I do want to give you some other updates. I’ve still been keeping up with writing (well, I’ve been limping along anyway), and my friends and I have a new flash fiction anthology for you! You’ve probably seen my posts on Facebook and Instagram, but if you haven’t, here’s the information!
We have seven authors, including two brand new authors, with a total of twenty-six short stories in many genres. You know what the best part is? It’s completely free! You can download the eBook from Amazon Kindle or Kobo and read these bite-sized stories anytime, anywhere. Just follow these links to Amazon (https://a.co/d/5zKP4m8) or Kobo (https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/adventuring-together-a-flash-fiction-anthology-1) to get your copy now.
In other news, I’m still working on my novel, you know, the one I’ve been working on for two years now. I had hoped it would be ready to publish this spring, but by this point, I don’t know that it will be ready this year. My characters have been giving me a lot of trouble. Haha!
That’s all for now. I will do my best to post here a little more frequently than twice a year. Until my next post. Bye!
