I’m Back!!

Eight Months! How can it be eight mon... Dare to walk in my world?

I’m Back!!

Well, what can I say? November 2018 was my last blog post, a whole 13 months ago. I could blame it on pressures of the day job, which would be true. I could blame it on the bouts of depression. Also true. I could blame it on Writer’s Block, which was woven into the depression.

But, I am going to change things, and the first will be the format of the blog. Rather than try to write one big long post, I am going to break it down. To my mind, it takes the pressure off writing. I considered long and hard what would be included. After all, the whole idea is build followers, hopefully, those who might also buy my books, or read them on Kindle.

(Drumroll, please). So, the content will be:

* Book stuff

* Writing stuff

* Cooking

* Mental health

Book Stuff will have several ideas, such as new stuff, giveaways and promotions. To start that ball rolling, I am taking part in this: https://clcannon.net/giveaways/c-l-cannons-uf-giveaway/

Writing Stuff: this will be items which might be useful to others, given my fondness for English grammar. That’s English, not American.
Cooking is a bit self-explanatory. I like culinary exploration and baking. A friend pointed out that when my depression was bad, I baked less.[image error]
Mental Health: have been struggling with depression since a gaslighting former manager drove me to the point of suicide. I have learnt a lot. If it helps someone else, that’s all to the good.

Of all the topics, depression is the one that really matters to me. I was working for a company who were more interested in damage limitation for the company than for a member of staff crying for help. Unfortunately, that is still a common factor. What is one person, compared to the bottom line or to the shareholders?[image error]

I had what was called a High Functioning Depression. Like the graphic from The Depression Project said, we are able to go to work and fulfil responsibilities. But we are fighting ourselves, fighting symptoms and fighting to appear normal. It was damned hard work. For all those fighting the same thing, if I can find a resource to help, I will help myself.

Oh yes. Frequency is another thing, although I am still working on that. So, bye for now, but I am definitely back, and there’s a new book in the offing.
