Hello....? Is This Thing On?

Usually I'd start one of these off with an apology and a long story about why I've been gone for more than a month. But today, I just don't have the energy so I figured the cliffnotes version would have to do.

I got a new job. *Claps* Yes, tis very exciting. However, this new job does not permit me to have the same freedoms and time as I had pre-job so my blog - and my writing - is suffering. Therefore, I can't guarantee regular postings. I think what I will start doing is pre-writing a few posts and then just setting them to publish on certain dates....hmm. Maybe. Maybe not.

Anysnooch, today I got to go through about two weeks worth of backed-up emails and one really caught my eye. It was from an author whose book I reviewed on goodreads about three months ago. And no, it was not a nice review so you could imagine my feelings before I read it. Alas, the email was a thank you. She told me I helped her see what she didn't like about her own work and what she wished she'd done. I was so touched. That's one of the only reasons I even bother to write reviews. In the hopes that maybe - just maybe - I've helped someone in some way.

That rocks. You GO author I shall not name! I wish you nothing but success in all your future endeavors.
