For the past couple of weeks I haven't posted on here, cause I wasn't sure what to post. I've had a lot mulling around in my head. Revisions, pen names, up coming conferences, friendships, work, and how the hell do I figure out how to make the work hard play hard actually a reality. Well guess what my dear readers. I've finally settled on a few things.
1. It's more important to take care of yourself and your friendships than getting in those few pages. As much as I love pursuing writing, it's just as important to find time to refresh your mental state and to keep up the relationships around you. Know what that means? I've made time to catch up with close friends. Making sure that they know I'm still here while I'm working on making dreams into a reality.
2. I'm so excited for RT Booklovers conference to see all my writer friends. To be in a place that no matter where I look there are like minded people. We are book lovers. We are writers. We are readers. We are coffee addicts. And we are all one of a kind nutty.
3. I've settled on a pen name. I'd like to introduce myself....Emery Aiden. Over the next few weeks I will be working on changing all my social media and creating a website that will be all fancy like.
4. Making major changes to a manuscript is hard. Which might be why I like first drafts. Cause anything can happen while you're writing. Revisions means you have to dig deep in the manuscript and if one thing changes it's a domino affect, you have to make sure it changes everything through out the book to make sure that it still makes sense in the end. Still I wouldn't change one thing about it. If it wasn't hard, then you wouldn't feel like it was worth it all the hard work when you finally have the finished product in your hands.
Well that's it for now. So, keep an eye out for the next few weeks for a new website, change of name in my Twitter, and maybe eventually even a fan page on Facebook so that I can keep you all updated on what Emery Aiden is up to.
