post-hibernation update

narrator: she did not hibernate

May is over. So how did I do relaxing and taking it easy all month? You know, like I promised myself I would after all the hard work of publishing my second book, Multidimensional?

turns out, not great.

I had envisioned myself couch rotting all month long and it was going to be awesome. But I did have to work at my day job. And I went out on a couple motorcycle rides with my man and with friends. And I did chores. And I got back in the gym. I made some book sales. I met up with friends for brunches and coffees and dinners. I attended a friend’s play and my mom’s choir concert. I went to a party. I recorded a podcast episode with a couple cool new friends (I’ll keep you posted when it comes out).

So it wasn’t the one long couch rot sesh that I was hoping for, but it was a damn good month. I’ve decided to rot more often in the next few months to make up for it. In all honesty though, I have a lot coming up in the next couple months too. So maybe I won’t be able to as much as I think I will.

Either way, it’s starting to almost look like summer here in Michigan, so naturally, these are my least hibernation-y months.

a few fun summer things coming up:

• a book launch party (I spent some of my couch rotting time brainstorming and shopping for dresses online)

• a party to celebrate my mom’s children’s book

• a book signing at Trail’s Edge Café to show off Multidimensional

• some other family and friend parties and get-togethers

• a long weekend trip with my friends!

• lots of time at the pool

• lots of time on the bike

so what’s next?

Aside from summer fun, what projects am I taking on next? What am I writing next? Well I’ll let you know when I figure it out.

I’d be truly grateful to you for checking out my latest book of poetry and short stories. If you purchase it, I would really appreciate a rating and review on Amazon and Goodreads after you’ve finished it!
