I’m rather failing a whole lot of everything. Writing, writing community responsibilities, work responsibilities, kid things, family things. Every single personal goal I had.
I thought at the start of the year, I’d soon be able to get into the swing of things after a big move last fall and whatnot. But that wasn’t the case, and I crashed hard. I’m still barely maintaining life and getting a paycheck in the door, but that’s all. We’re halfway through summer, and I really hope I’ll get through whatever this is, but I don’t know. At this point, the goal is survival.
Shout to my wonderful husband and partner for stepping up as I’ve struggled. It’s thanks to him the kids are doing well and family things happen at all this summer.
On a separate note, I’ll be posting a different kind of content on my blog occasionally. My work is doing a thing on LinkedIn, and I figured if I was going to be posting on LinkedIn, then I might as well post it here first to build my brand here instead of a business page I have never really cared for. SEO and all.
I wrote the first post for it a month ago at work, but finding the energy to post it here has been a process. Mostly because I wanted to catch up on posting all the Wednesday Words I’ve written but haven’t edited or created images for so I can post them. But now is the time to post the work thing, so I guess I’ll post the missing flash fiction later.
The more work-related posts will still be fiction-oriented, in a way. I work as an editor and manager, so things like “lessons learned” should be able to apply to my own writing and community experiences. If the post is too business-y and less writer-y, then it’ll stay on my LinkedIn page.
I guess this means I need to update my LinkedIn page.
