This is more of a heads up for anyone who is following me! I’m taking a break.
I’ve been publishing multiple books a year for 9 years. For my 10th year, I’m gifting myself a break. A whole year of not pressuring myself to get something ready for publishing. It means I’ll get to write things that I might not ever publish or show anyone, and it’s just what I need! I’m tired, and I think a break will do me well.
On top of that, I’m privating a lot of my social media. Some of you may have noticed that many of my accounts are now set to private and that was intentional! Planned! I swear, I haven’t been canceled. I’m just, again, tired. I’ve been making myself a consumable entity on the internet for a while and I want a break from that part of things.
If you want to keep in touch, I’ll likely still be keeping up with the book reviews and other articles for this blog. I’ll also still be updating the official Scrap Paper Entertainment Instagram and the Facebook page. The newsletter is going down to once a month, but it will still be going out. Things are just not going to be personal for a little while and I’ll exist only as my content, not myself.
Is this a bad thing to do as an author? Probably. But I’m tired, and I’ve always valued my ability to walk away from things in my personal life that aren’t working for me. I may come back to social media one day, I may not, we’ll see. But the books will likely return in 2022, so check back for those!
