New Years Week

I do not know what I will be able to do this week… New year’s day and all of the chaos involved may result in this blog being slow. We have some activity over on the Fae Corps Publishing blog. This week will be leading up to the release of Faery Footprints on the sixth. I am also about to start layout for both Dylan and the pet zombie & Beauty’s Tears. I want to try to keep up with the routine here, but I also am feeling slightly overwhelmed. So I may this week be less faithful to my schedule. I do have some wonderful things coming up for this blog. 2020 is lining up to be a very busy and full year.

Depending upon how things go with the first one, Dylan may end up as a series. There is definitely going to be more poetry volumes. I am hoping that Serena will have stuff to publish this year as well. Fae Corps Deadline for submissions to the light fae anthology is January 31 with an eye towards a May/June release. Already we have some amazing authors who have contributed. We will start doing spotlights on them in March/April. We are also discussing a November release/ September deadline for another anthology. We have not got the details mashed out yet… But it’s theme will be toxic family, abandonment issues, and holidays alone. Poetry, short stories and art. Once we are done with the release of Faery Footprints, we will be putting the details into a submissions call. This is just a small sneak peek into the upcoming Fae Corps stuff. I have signed up to be a part of a blog tour for the release of a wonderful book by a friend. I will be showing more of that very soon.

2020 is a year of change. I have already started a new habit. I do at least a five minute a day writing stint… I often do more, but on bad days when the muse is not as strong, I force myself to at least do 5. So I realized that I, by doing the habit, reinforce the idea that I am in control of my writing. I found that I need to do the same thing with my art. I am struggling with the blank page. I often do not know what to draw. Well I found an app for this. It is an app called Sketch A Day. It is for Android. It is just ideas. It gives me a prompt that I can do a sketch of. If you are interested in my sketches, I have a public Album of my drawings on Facebook that I am adding them to. (I will add to Insta when I remember.)

Tomorrow night instead of the Tuesday Tunes I have plans to do a decade in review post. It is likely to be interesting.
