I wish to be transparent with my readers about my progress and what I have left to do.  Because of this, I decided to share my To Do list.  I was going to do a digital rendition like the new Weekly Updates, but decided to just do one post that I can update as I complete things or add things.  The list is broken up into different sections based on what there is to do.  This list will be updated as frequently as possible.  Please enjoy and be patient with me as I work through my backlog and future progress.

INFORMATION ABOUT READING AND REVIEWING BOOKS AS LISTED IN GOALS

I entered my book library into Libib under two different categories: My eBooks and My Physical Books.  From these two categories, I plan on reading a book and leaving an in-depth review on my blog to show my readers what I read myself, and how I view the books I read.  If you want to know about a specific book, feel free to let me know, and I will read that before others.  The physical books are books that I will stand behind and pass down without hesitation.  The eBooks are books that I either cannot get a physical book, or I only use for casual reads instead of wanting to have a physical book on hand.  Please check out the link below to see if there is any books you wish to know about, and let me know in the comments.  Other than that, I will go on moods.

Thank you for your continued support,

The last month or so has been hectic and draining at the same time.   Preparing for my author talk took a lot out of me, as well as the anxiety of making it through the event itself.   There was more of a turnout than I expected, and I appreciate those who were able to attend, even briefly.  It will not be forgotten.   Sorry, I did not record the event.   My anxiety made me close my camera and say no.

After the event, however, I had to recover from my anxiety.   While recovering from my anxiety, my depression decided to take over.  I did the bare minimum those days while I fought to even do that.  Although my depression is still lingering, I am making an effort to get back on track.

With finances slowly getting back on track (I say slowly because I still tend to hit the checkout button on some things), one of the stresses has been slowly reducing for my husband and I.  With this reduction in stress, we are hoping more will follow.  Luckily my oldest has started helping out as well.  That means that we have his SSI to deal with so he can get adult services, and then hopefully back to writing my book.

My books may be handled differently because of how my mind works and what's been going on lately.  What I may end up doing is writing whichever book is screaming at me at the moment, and then work on whatever finishes first as the next release.  I really do hope it's The Raven's Legacy, as I have my niece working on the cover of that for her school project.  However, if it turns out that it's not The Raven's Legacy, I pre-purchased a book cover design through 100Covers that I can use toward my next book cover.

I do ask that you have patience with me as I catch up on what I missed. I will continue to send notifications for the weekly updates once I start posting them.  But I will not send notifications of any backdated posts.  That will prevent you from receiving too many updates as I update my blog, and the weekly updates will show you what posts I actually updated or posted so you can go back and look for them when you wish.  The next weekly update will be next week, October 26.  You will be notified when it is posted.  It will also show you which weekly updates I posted without notifications so that way you can go back and look at what was done during the weeks I did not update anyone.

I look forward to getting back to writing and sharing.  And since I'm also doing the Bookly Hexxed read-a-thon, there will also be book review updates.  Also, keep an eye out for a new blog tagging system that will allow you to separate posts by tiers so you can see what's available to your tier specifically.  I hope you have a wonderful day and I look forward to continuing this journey together!
