This is actually more of an update than anything else because things are gonna be changing up. I have decided that my blogging is going to happen over on Tumblr, with fun little updates on Bluesky, art & photography on Flashes, and whatever I’m gonna do on Skylight … honestly, I’ll probably just lurk over there because that’s pretty much what I did on TikTok.
Anyway, the goal is to do updates on my writing here … well, on this website, at least. I’ll be deactivating the blog function sometime this month, so it’s going to be a static main page with other ones dedicated to what I’m working on, like character descriptions, excerpts, etc. Honestly, I may just shut it down after my domain expires and just focus elsewhere.
I just kind of had to pull back and see that I’m just not getting a ton of traction here and never really did? I’m not complaining, just admitting defeat in this arena. The internet is a very crowded space with a lot of people calling for attention, and my voice was just not loud enough. Over on the few social media sites I’m on now, I at least get responses and have a dialogue with people, whereas over here, I’m just kinda talking to myself. Ha.
Ultimately, this was a choice I made to 1) simplify my life and 2) adjust to the reality I have instead of the one I thought I wanted. I guess that’s what getting older does to a person, and it’s not necessarily a bad thing. Your priorities shift or you become more realistic, and that’s okay. I’m not quitting writing or anything … I’m just reevaluating what writing means to me.
If you are following me or are just stopping by and are curious about what this crazy lady is going on about, please don’t hesitate to reach out! You can still send me an email from my contact page or find me on linktree, just make sure you let me know you came over from my website (I’m still pretty strict about who I’ll just freely talk to or DM for various reasons). I’d love to hear from you!
