Late July already, where has 2023 gone? We’re over half way through the year. July has been an interesting month. I injured my hand on the job in late June, so all of July has been light duty door greeting at work. You wouldn’t believe people.
One elderly lady asked me if I had a gun. Startled, I asked, “No wait what?” She proceeded to let me know that the security at Trader Joes has a gun. I politely explained that I was not in fact security just a door greeter welcoming people in. Due to the injury, I haven’t been able to write a lot at all.
We did get away for a midweek mini holiday at the beach. I was able to put my feet in the ocean. I’ll link the TikTok below so you can see. It was a gorgeous day; hot, yet windy and cool due to the ocean spray.
I was lucky enough to find a patch of goldenrod today, of which I harvested a bit. It is now drying. I did some research and I’m thinking about how I’ll use it.
I’m
reading Tessa Bailey right now. It happened One Summer is set in Westport
Washington. I too live in Washington
state and couldn’t resist that. I’m in my romance era, which sounds weird. I
was reading fantasy and then I fell into Abby Jimenez. Between her, Emily Henry,
and Tessa Bailey, it’s been a fun romcom summer. What are you reading?
I’m also frustrated. I had a supernatural witchy series I was reading on Google Play, and in love with. Last fall the author put all her books on Kindle Unlimited. I refuse to buy books from Amazon and Kindle Unlimited. It’s small, but it’s my hill to die on. I buy at small bookshops, B&N, and Google Books.
Well then in February, she announced, they were coming back off KU and back to Google Play. I was so excited. I waited with bated breath, and nothing. At the beginning of July, I reached out to see when they would be back. (Here is my frustration.) I just heard back. Due to not making enough money, she’s putting them all back on KU. This is why I hate kindle unlimited.
I’m just now getting back to writing, and it
feels nice. I’m still planning on having my current WIP done by the end of the
year. It’s not by any means a romcom. I don’t want to give much away yet. Well,
I should tie up here. I figure you’ve gotten enough updates and raving rants.
Love you all much! Gratitude fills my heart knowing you are reading this.
