Hello, intrepid readers! I thought I’d take a moment to update you on the second book and explain why it seems like I’m slacking.
I know, I know. I thought I would get it done in March. Needless to say, I was, like, totally wrong!
Work
Work has taken a toll on my time. Thanks to the brilliance of telehealth, I have been able to work more. Why? The nature of applied behavior analysis (you know, my day job) involves a lot of in-person services. For most of my career that has involved long hours in the car, driving from client to client. Once my chronic pain started, this became arduous and painful. Not to mention the physical toll the therapy session itself took on my body. Anyhoo, enough about my woes. The point is, I had to keep my work hours low in order to keep my pain levels in control.
Enter COVID-19! Now, I can do my entire job from my office at home. No driving, no uncomfortable couches to sit on, no kids to unsuccessfully chase around. Decreased pain-inducing conditions = decreased pain = more work = yay! I qualify for medical now! 🙂
BOOM
I discovered BOOM Cards. I’m a bit obsessed with them, to be honest. I love creating them and I love how much my clients love them! Most of the stimuli I create on wow.boomlearning.com I have to do on my own time. (Check out my store, Lisneyland!) Anyhoo, I must admit, some of my editing time has been “Boomed.”
Charlie
Oh, Charlie! Our new little addition to the family has been a bit of a time-sucker. The little fur ball is just too cute to ignore!
Growth
I learned so much from the last book! I did mounds of research when editing Mira’s Awakening, and that has been more helpful than I predicted for book 2. I have made a lot of changes during my editing process, all the better for my dear readers. I promise my changes will make it worth the wait.
Feeling impatient for the release of Beautiful Scars? You are in luck! I’ll be announcing a live book reading from the new novel soon. Stay tuned!
Love,
Liz
