    February was a rollercoaster month of emotions.  For starters, I missed out on a self-publishing course by a few minutes and I had an actual meltdown. I received feedback from my beta readers. It was a daunting experience. I couldn’t…

My partner reminded me last night that it’d been My partner reminded me last night that it’d been a year since Hazy Love was released. 

A whole year.

Reminiscing brought on a lot of feelings that I’m still processing, hence the late post. I’m proud of what I’ve achieved, but disappointed that my second book is still not out. Being a slow writer leads to a constant battle of emotions and I’m still figuring out how to not beat myself up.
