This is going to be a sort of diary entry today.
I have used my blog over the years for a therapeutic means of escapism. So it should not come as a surprise to anyone who is still reading my material
I do enjoy the stories I have written and the books I have self published. I needed a means of expressing myself in new ways, since playing music was no longer a choice that I have.
But alas, after the sales of my second book tanked after a few months, I gave up on writing too!
Don't get me wrong. I knew that sales of my book were going to be difficult since I don't have the money to advertise myself, but when you hear from friends, family, and people you meet in life that, "I don't read anymore." it becomes discouraging and the feeling of failure, overwhelming.
Time for a disclaimer: I'm not trying to solicit comments, sympathy, or put the blame on anyone else but me. If you ever wrote in a diary you know how much it can help at the time and when you read it years later, you think to yourself, why would I write that? Where was my head at? And I put it on my blog?!?! AHHHHHGG!
Another reason for writing this today is, it's my trick for overcoming writers block. It has always worked for me to just sit down and start typing the first thing that come into my mind. I'm hoping this is the spark that brings back the joy inside of me to finish my next project and keep telling entertaining stories again.

That is my story and I am sticking to it!
