Hello all

I wanted to do a post about something that I’ve been dealing with the past few months and that’s my lack of motivation for writing.

This is related to the ongoing situation I’m dealing with behind the scenes since I started it all in July, all I can say is that it involves the (publishing) rights of my first ever book. It’s the reason behind me only advertising people purchasing the book directly from me instead of other sites.

As it’s still ongoing I can’t say a lot, but it’s been absolutely frustrating and it’s given me an uncertainty of what to do in the mean time.

I’m someone who likes to plan things out in advance, take my trip to Japan last year that I did solo, I had that all planned out a year ahead so I could focus on other things. Even now I’m trying my best to plan things out for the future as an author eg book fairs I’ve got in October.

I want to write, I really do, I have 2 manuscripts that are nowhere near finished and I want to do something but this uncertainty with the behind the scenes stuff is stopping me.

IF for whatever reason, what I want doesn’t work out. I will have to move onto something completely different hence why I started a new story (The Ash House), but don’t want to start it until I know for certain on what the future holds.

On the flip side is, if I get what I want then I’ve revealed something I wasn’t going to show until many years in the future. I’ve got a second edition of The Trip Between the Two saved with corrections, I want to make some minor story changes but if it doesn’t work out, then it all be for nothing, same for second story in the trilogy because I’ve started that too.

I just wanted to get this off my mind as mentioned earlier, it’s been absolutely frustrating.

I hope with the help of SoA that I joined up with recently, that this will be resolved soon and I can be happy again.

Anyway thank you for reading.

Megan
