Are we really doing this? Again?

I guess we are my loves.

I thought about this for a long time, at least starting the blog back up. I mean, to be honest, I didn't do a fabulous job of getting it off the ground. But we're here.

I believe the last blog post of back in 2024, and it wasn't that much. But let's do a brief recap.

2024 was the year of rebranding, finding my voice, and re-releasing my first two books with my own words and intentions. I transformed Wild Cub into a dual perspective rather than just Teresa's POV. When I wrote Savage Angel with the two perspectives, I found I liked it better and from there the Wild Cub 2.0 came alive and with a brand new cover! Buried in Sins are re-released with a better format and closer editing job. But 2024 was when I looked back and thought "where was this going?".

2025 was the year of spreading my wings, finding what worked for me, and Hound Dog's Howl, my first shared world and my first person cover. But that was it, one release, and a few signings and conventions. I did a lot better when it came to getting myself out there and people reading my books. I tried Tiktok, posting with intention with Instagram, and of course, signing events and conventions. Again, I only had one release.

And now here we are in 2026, a new release coming in April and plans for hopefully two more releases. Also, I've been working on my newsletter and plan to send them out soon, especially with an incentive.

Currently, here are where my thoughts are:

• Can I continue this uptrend of page reads and people knowing my name?

• Will my friends, that I have cheering for on the side, be there for my own success?

• While I'm doing a lot of my author journey part time because of my full time career, will I also be successful? I have the drive, people have loved my stories, but will it be enough?

• I wish I had more income to invest on artwork, inventory, and even to travel, but I know it will come to me, I have to patient.

• I would love to be stopped one day and ask "Are you this author?" in a positive exchange. Everything takes time, but when do you get a small break to say "hello, I'm here."

These are some of the thoughts that roam in my head on a daily basis. Now, I'm not looking for sympathy because I have ingrained in myself that my journey is my journey and I can't compare or else I will self-sabotage myself. But I'm not going to sit here with all smiles and say "I don't think about these things" because it would be lie.

I have SO many ideas, and I can't wait until they become a reality.

So to answer the question in the title, are we really doing this again? Are we starting up the blog? Sure. Let's give it a try again. Are we really keeping on this track and writing? You bet we are, and will bigger ideas to come. How do you keep going? I just do, because in the end, I'm writing these stories for me and the others that tag along on this wild ride or may need to feel seen and heard.

Well, I think that's enough sadness for one day, don't you think?

Until then my darlings.
