Welp, I have to face to music. I have to come to you and admit that I did not complete Nanowrimo last month. In November’s email I talked up National Novel Writing Month like I usually do because it’s how I got my start in writing, but I utterly bombed this year. I only wrote a few thousand words and didn’t get anywhere near the 50,000 word goal.
I could blame it on a surprise trip home and a few other life interruptions, but the truth is, I’ve been burnt out most of this year and writing has been a struggle. I’ve still been making progress on The Crimson Witch but it’s just been at a turtle’s speed.
I’m the type of person that likes to pile more and more on my plate until I topple over. I’ve been spending a lot of time on my shop, My Faraway Friends, along with normal 9-5 work and also adjusting to a new city and a new life situation. So, I’ve made the really tough decision to slow down during this time of year.
The holidays can become such a racket. There’s constantly places to go and things to do and stuff to buy. It can get overwhelming and stressful. So, I’m going to keep this email short and encourage you to slow down this season as well. Take a breath. Look around. Put down your phone. Trust me, that last one is HARD to do.
I want to thank each and every one of you, my readers, for picking up my books and spending time immersed in Camilla’s world. It’s an absolute joy every time I get to talk with one of you about my books. Just knowing that you’ve consumed my words is thrilling. I truly am thankful for you and for sticking with me through my writing journey.

If you haven’t done that yet, reading can be a great distraction from annoying family members, just sayin’.
