Book reviews on hold
Jul. 5th, 2016 09:22 pmMy head just isn't that game right this moment. I would love to write about The Trials of Apollo, Book One: The Hidden Oracle (seriously, Rick, you can't come up with shorter titles? J/K!) and The Age of Shiva, but my mind is just not on the task.
The trouble is I have a lot in my mind. Not just on my writing projects but on myself, on what I need and want for my life. I'm not giving up on writing, I'm not giving up on making a career out of it, but I've learned some things about myself upon returning to Tulsa. I'm glad to be back amongst my friends (you know who you are), I'm glad to have my old job back, but I'm keenly feeling a lack right now. I feel like I'm at this crossroads (which, ironically, I am), and there are external factors weighing in that I know I can't control yet I'm still trying. At least, I'm trying to compensate for things that haven't happened yet, and it's just like this huge burden on my shoulders that I've created for myself that I don't need.
So I'm just plugging away, trying to go forward, and I do so with the hope and the knowledge that all will be all right in the end.
