Another racing start of a year #musings #reflections #writing #nextsteps

Sorry that I’ve been mostly incommunicato so far in 2025. A few planned blog tours earlier in the year with OWI fell through or postponed. I try to do one or two a month so my posts and calendar were a little light for February and March. I probably should pick up more tour companies but really haven’t had time to do that. There’s so much on what I want to do personally, professionally, and as an author in my spare time (hah) that I probably need an assistant to help me navigate. 🙂

I got a great start on editing prior stories in November and then stalled when the full-time job took up my focus. Client requests increased; and therefore, any spare time not involving family dropped. Sigh. Story of my life. Long-time followers have seen this before, and will probably will see it again until I retire from that career… 😉 It’s been so busy that I haven’t had time to study for a professional certification scheduled in June. I probably will just have to buckle down and take the time. And then my ADHD kicks in.

I’m in north metro Atlanta, Georgia and we’re about to get predicted tornado-level weather overnight, including possible hail. I figured a picture of cloudy skies is appropriate. Change is coming and I’m not sure how I feel about that. This directly results from what happened last November in the US and continues to make news since. I will have to see how things turn out.

I also have personal changes coming. My daughter will lead to a grandmother’s status in a few months. That’s another change that is going to feel weird for a bit in a completely different direction.

I finally got my Bluesky social media icon updated on my blog. You should see it the next time you visit. If interested in following me there, my profile is https://bsky.app/profile/eloreenmoon.bsky.social. It’s included in my https://linktr.ee/eloreenmoon as well. I plan to be more active on social media. I’m wanting to get back into editing and republishing, interacting with readers and authors alike, write and publish a new book or two this year, and make my work, author, and personal goals this year. Here’s hoping I can balance things.

Speaking of books, I will get back to getting stories reedited and republished, including Together. I have an epilogue I did for a book tour a couple of years ago that I want to include. In addition, I’m starting on a themed short story for a promotion later this year. More on that as we get closer. I’m excited about writing again. I’m going to dig into my works in progress and see if I have something started that will fit. It would be nice to get back out there again. Wish me luck!

Here’s the cover of Together available on Amazon and KU if you want to read before the 2nd edition comes out.

I’m going to leave it there for now. Perhaps I will do more frequent posts, perhaps once a month outside of blog tours. I’ll try that and see how I do. Thanks!
