First Multi-Day Road Trip on My Bike, Writing New Stuff But Is It Good, And Bitter Over Sweet Stuff

I’m heading to Iwate tomorrow!

At least just the bottom corner of it. It’s on my list of prefectures I haven’t visited yet. Planning to drive along the east coast of Honshu… hoping for good weather. Rain would really suck, but you never know.

It will be good to see the ocean again. Maybe dip a toe in if time permits.

On the writing front, I’m writing new stuff but honestly, have no idea if it’s any good. I seemed to have lost my spark. I guess I shouldn’t really force myself, but I feel that constant pressure to produce and publish and produce and publish, but at the same time, I am not submitting so that kind of stops the produce and publish in its tracks lol

Bitter Over Sweet comes out in November and I need to get my butt in gear on working on more promotions for it. I will be honest I am getting burnt out. I keep trying to get myself out there and pitch stuff, but I am just not what people want to read about. My publisher is amazing and very encouraging so I will heed his sage advice on rework my plans and see what I can do after I get back from my ride.

Wherever you are, my friends, I hope that you are well. The world is beautiful even with all of the shit going on. Sending you light, love and above all creativity.
