I always find it difficult after a month-long stretch of blogging to stop posting every day. I don’t know if it’s the momentum or just the fact that I love to write, to get my thoughts out there, or if it’s the sense of community that I miss.
Last time I felt this way, I just kind of stuttered to a stop. I had days at the end of last year when my daily views barely made double digits. I’d like to endeavor not to let that happen again this year. Then again, when you don’t get out much, it’s hard to find things to talk about.
I’ve gotta get out more, too.
In the meantime, Bee has a great prompt going on this month called “Love Is In Da Blog,” to celebrate the month of February: the month of love. She’s doing a musical theme this year, and it looks like fun! You can check her post for today, including tomorrow’s prompt, here: https://thebeewritesdownloads.wordpress.com/2019/02/03/love-is-in-da-blog-a-kitsch-love-song-prompt-post-for-february-4th/
In other news, you might have figured by the lack of jumping up and down with glee on my part that neither my book nor my series won the Paranormal Romance Guild’s Reviewer’s Choice Award this year. But that’s okay. The Magician’s Blood came in third out of six entries, and The Great Dagmaru (the series) came in third out of five. It was an honour to be nominated at all out of the hundreds of books the Guild reviews every year. And I’m that much more grateful that The Magician’s Curse won in 2017.
Congratulations to all the 2018 winners! π
And there you have my compulsion to blog satisfied for today.
I have to say, it feels weird not to finish off a post with a badge and a link.

Other than my mum, we’re all fine. She’s still in the hospital, recovering from her pneumonia slowly but surely. Thanks for asking, Willow. β€

Well I almost joined in just Jot this last weekend and ran out of time – but I hope to join in that challenge soon- or at least give it a try (Joey and Dan have done it for so long and of course I remember the doobs π)
Anyhow – if it works for you to post every day – well then keep doing what you do…

Well I was wondering if any of your readers remind you of him… like if he is submitting under another name? Cos we should be able to tell his voice – ya know ? I know you cannot read all entries – but I was curious coz I know he liked your challenges
