It’s been a hot minute since I posted one of these and although I’m not quite the Debbie Downer I was feeling in my last post I am still feeling a great deal of overwhelm managing life, finding balance, moving forward and being present for all the things.
Writing has been hard. The words don’t seem to be flowing quite the way I want, and it’s frustrating. New ideas, new stories seem to be bombarding me and I write them down thinking it’ll free up space to get back to what I should be writing and it feels like my sub-conscious is having a parade for the imposter syndrome and negative thoughts I talked about in my last post and I choke. (And not in the fun way people).
I’m just going to say though bringing Positive Patty to the party for a moment that as far as blog writing goes I’m super excited for the next few weeks as I have had the pleasure of interviewing a few of my favorite authors and getting to know them outside of their amazing books which I love. So I’m looking forward to that and so should you.
I have some news to share over the next coming weeks as things fall into place. I can share one thing right now: I have a book signing in Calgary, Ab August 5th, from 12-4 pm at the Crossiron Indigo store. You can also now purchase my books in that store and hopefully more to come. You guys heard it first, and an official announcement will be made as soon as I get my shit together, lol.
I got 2 kayaks for Christmas and recently got to try them out, I know totally random thing to say, but its wellness Wednesday, and this day is for the good, bad, and ugly. But back to it, I love them, I loved every second out on the water in my kayak, I was happy, at peace, it helped empty my head of everything that’s been holding space there rent free for months and I could just enjoy it. My only problem now is how can I go more often? How can I do more of filling my cup and still do all the things I need to? Any advice, people? Dead serious, I’m firmly on this struggle bus and would like to get off now. (my lord the heads in the gutter today lol almost said something else inappropriate, my inner smut goddess ooo I like that from now on that’s what I’m gonna call it I guess is alive and well)
The inner dialogue is strong today so I’ll take that as my cue to shut up before i blurt something that might get me in trouble. In all honesty though I would love to hear any tips and tricks you amazing humans who have their shit together may have to help me make some semblance of a schedule, routine whatever to get me off the struggle bus and moving forward in a productive way. And I just want to say a huge thank you to all of you that show up and read this blog, laugh at my nonsense, reach out with comments, advice and appreciation for the honesty and realism I try to bring to this blog when I show up. I love you to bits.
Till next time,
Love, smut goddess Magnolia xx lol
