Hi all

I realise it has been awhile since a new book release, and since a blog post. So I thought I should let you all know what's currently happening.

Well, life got in the way - some burn out and a new job (again!).

Still working as a Practice Nurse in a GP clinic, but it's closer to home, so I can save on petrol and walk to work when it's nice. Always a bonus!

Writing-wise I'm taking a break. Some burn-out, loss of inspiration, and life getting in the way, so I took a back step and am just concentrating on doing things I have pushed aside for so long.

Writing was everything to me, but there are changing times and attitudes, expectations, costs, marketing - so many things in the publishing world that can drain a writer. No excuse, just some of the many reasons I took a step back and a break.

Definitely it's a very different world to when I first started writing, back when ebook writers 'weren't real writers' and we were looked down on. Then along came self publishing - also looked down upon - and we were big fish in a wee pond, writing how we pleased and what we wanted and the market was ours! Now we're guppies frantically swimming in an ocean of fish! LOL Now look at the ebook and self-publishing explosion!! Whoo hoo! I do miss those days when everything was new and exciting *nostolgic sigh*.

Other reasons are personal. Burnout sucks. Loss of inspiration and even loss of love of writing sucks. But life is more than writing. Life is to live and try things, pick things up that have been pushed aside. Working full time doesn't leave much time for other things. Realising that life is passing is an eye-opener. Taking a break from writing is ok.

So I'm fine, just taking a break. For how long I don't know. But I hope this little update finds you all well, and mates, there are so many great books out there to read and enjoy! And remember, take time to do things you want to do, no matter how big or small!

cheers
