Aug. 12, 2025 - Recovery and Real Life

I did pay the price for pushing my body beyond the edge of endurance. My Fibromyalgia let me know in no uncertain terms that pacing is a real thing and can’t just be ignored. I’d like to say I learned my lesson and that next time I’ll take it slower. However, I know I won’t. I know I’ll get carried away in the moment and push myself until it hurts.

Today I focused on the here and now. I worked with my housekeeper doing regular chores like transplanting more orchids. My indoor orchid garden brings me many hours of pleasure. I'm constantly fussing with the plants and giving them lots of love.

I did manage to sneak in a short period of time working on the details of the humanoids who inhabit the forest regions of the world. That’s where the main character, Bardham Worthy lives. He’s a bipedal creature born from the earth and one of the mother trees in the forest. I’ve actually been writing about him for days. My muse drops hints from time to time, and I record them dutifully. More to come about him later, but for now…

Best wishes always…

P.S. My orchid garden also contains crystals, geodes, fossils, sea shells and other natural collectables. I grow herbs there as well - basil, bay laurel, green onions - that sort of thing which I use for cooking.

Best wishes always...

My current focus is on fiction genres including children's picture books and YA/NA historical romanticies. I'm also preparing to write an epic fantasy for the young adult audience. As a debut author I face all the challenges of breaking into the traditional publishing market. I need your interest and support to do so! Please consider following me here and on other social media platforms, which you can access on the Home page of my author's web site. I'll be adding more in the weeks to come so please check back from time to time. Thank you so much, in advance, for following my blog.
