jon_chaissonAnd quite a bit lately, it seems. And being quite evasive about the details as well. Yeah, I know. It sounds like I'm pulling the "HEY I'VE GOT A SECRET but I'm not going to tell you what it is" and I apologize if it's annoying the hell out of you. My evasiveness is partly due to not wanting to share Best Laid Plans Which Will Soon After Go Kerflooey, but it's also due to that a lot of things are indeed up in the air and not solid yet.
I've said on my writing blog recently that I've been tempted to take a year off from writing, social media, and other things. Not as an escape or as a detox (not at this point, anyway), but just to take stock in where I am in my life. I've been tempted to reinvent myself over the last few months. Well, maybe not *reinvent* per se...more like get myself more attuned to who I truly am rather than the person I'm trying to portray here. If that makes sense? There's so much mental and emotional baggage I still have that I don't need anymore, and I've been doing a hell of a lot of purging of it lately, and it feels GREAT. I'm going in the right direction. And the reason I've been thinking of Taking a Year Off is because this is something I don't want to live-tweet or live-blog. I want as little outside influence for this, because that's always been one of my worst enemies. [There's a reason "doing the right thing despite outside influence" has been a common theme in all my novels! Heh.]
Anyway. I don't plan on becoming a hermit. I just don't plan on filling up my dance card with a ridiculous amount of things for 2019. Just a few Very Important things (such as New Day Job acquisition) and not much else. I want to see where this all goes.
Hope everyone's having a lovely week!
