Announcements and The Like

The Schedule for 2022 is fairly busy. There are 3 indie Author books currently on the schedule., not including mine and Serena’s books. There are currently 3 Anthologies planned. I have at least one poetry volume and at least one Kid’s book releasing this year. Serena has a poetry volume releasing this year. That is on top of everything else we might do. I will be posting a better calendar on the Fae Corps blog. This is my personal blog, so Why do I post it here? Well, because I am excited about the options. Fae Corps will be posting a PAD challenge for April, as usual. And I will be giving a live interview(link upcoming when I get it.)

There are two Anthologies that will be coming out at the end of March, and Ashira Datya’s Second book will release at the beginning of March. Raz T Slasher is about to release book 2 in his series on 4/20. In May I will be releasing the next Pip Book. I am hoping to have another book by Serena done in time for release this year. Her poetry volume will release in November. I am not certain when I will be releasing Gathering Teardrops. It is half done. I am hoping for a June release, but we will have to see.

We already have an author on the schedule for 2023. Fae Corps is rocking this, and I am learning so much in the doing of it.

New Year New To Do

Last year was incredibly hard. It happens, and I am not going to sit and weep over it. However, it brought changes to both my personal and professional lives. I refuse to do a resolution because I often get distracted and lose sight of the objective with that. Instead, I do a yearly word. It helps me set the tone for the upcoming year. This year is Effort. Now that doesn’t mean I plan to put in more, just that I become Mindful of the effort I am putting in and the effort of others. (Sometimes we fail to see the effort others are putting in. Either because it doesn’t meet up to the expectations, or because we are too busy to notice.) This Year I want to be mindful. I want to adjust my life to appreciate the effort in it. Including my own. I am too hard on myself so I think that I will struggle some with this.

Fae Corps has had some changes. My partner is stepping down to concentrate on her writing. So I am now the main person in charge. That is both scary and wonderful. I have always dreamed of doing exactly what I am doing. But being in charge means I have to hold myself to a higher standard. It also means that I am the only one I can blame if it goes pear-shaped,

There is a lot planned for the upcoming year. Poetry volumes, Another Pip adventure, The release of several Anthologies….and Fae Corps will be releasing more books. I have announcements that I will be posting here during the next week, and I am hoping to be more mindful of the effort it takes to do a proper blog.

Until then and the time I post again, I wish all of you the blessings of the new year, and hope it is a great one for us all.

The Holidays are in, and it has kicked me in the butt

So I haven’t been around. Not surprised if you noticed. There has been a lot of activity in my life. Changes that have caught me by the throat. I don’t plan on bleeding those changes all over my blog, it would just open wounds that are starting to close. However, I am going to still be on hiatus a short while longer. It started with a nasty bout of bronchitis and then some nasty emotional baggage. I am slowly unpacking the baggage and starting to put things away. I think I will give myself grace through the month of December and start 2022 fresh. I need this time to deal with the mess that I got myself into. This time of year often ends me up with an emotional downside that I have been at a loss to prevent.

For me that means I will continue to work on myself and the issues that have arisen in my life. For you it merely means I am asking for patience. January will see more poetry, art, and discussion of the foibles of life that my blog has come to present on a regular basis. I thank you for the patience and I wish you all the best of holidays.

A day for me to discuss music

Lyrics
Outta all the drugs in California
You’re the one that fucks my head up most
And Lately I’ve been pleading with myself to leave it
But I crawl back, begging you for more
And I don’t wanna want you
But I do
And what’s another let down
For a few
Moments in the light
Moments in the light
Feeling so alive
I don’t even gotta try, try
Moments in the light
Moments in the light
Like Jordan in his prime
You can’t touch this superfly fly, fly
Coming off the high
Outta all the drugs in California
You’re the one that fucks my head up most
I’ve been swearing up and down
That I don’t need you
But I’m lying
Hate it, but it’s true
Tell me that you love me, need me
Please I’m begging
I keep chasing, knowing there’s no use
And I don’t wanna break down
But I do
‘Cause I’m getting nervous that I’ll lose
Moments in the light
Moments in the light
Feeling so alive
I don’t even gotta try, try
Moments in the light
Moments in the light
Like Jordan in his prime
You can’t touch this superfly fly, fly
Coming off the high
Outta all the drugs in California
You’re the one that fucks my head up most
Tell me, tell me that you love me
Tell me, tell me that you need me
Save me
Moments in the light
Moments in the light
Feeling so alive
I don’t even gotta try, try
Moments in the light
Moments in the light
Like Jordan in his prime
You can’t touch this superfly fly, fly
Moments in the light
Moments in the light
Feeling so alive
I don’t even gotta try, try
Moments in the light
Moments in the light
Like Jordan in his prime
You can’t touch this superfly fly, fly
Coming off the high
Outta all the drugs in California
You’re the one that fucks my head up most
Outta all the drugs in California
You’re the devil and I’m just your ghost

My 2 Cents-
I missheard the lyrics originally. I kept hearing Mama is in the light…And the song confused me with that…

Monday Poetry

Monday poetry – Prompted

Today both Serena and I had a take on the prompt for the #MonsterSheWroteChallenge2021 over on https://braveandrecklessblog.com I just saw the challenge last night so I got a late start on it, but I look forward to doing the challenge. I will likely post a few more here as the month goes on.

Memento – 1Wise-Woman

braveandrecklessblog's avatarBrave & Reckless

A knock upon the door reveals a familiar, elderly man, dressed in his finest. His facial expression is one of uncertainty. What does the face of, “I don’t know how you’re still standing” look like anyway? It looks like me… haggard, unwashed, skeletal. “One foot in the grave,” I tell myself, laughter pressing psychotically upon my parched lips.

He’s been on my front step too many times to know what to do or say. That’s a job for the professionals. Nonetheless, his instinct kicks in, avoiding having to look at me for too long, he hands me a meager, lonely rose, wrapped in plastic and tissue and utters his deepest condolences. Words I’ve heard so much they’ve lost any meaning.

I hang it upside down, along with the other two, still not fully dried. I wonder if hospice knew that each one was a different color than its predecessor? Yellow…
