Still Treading Water
It’s late Sunday night, and I’m still here—still trying. I missed last week’s blog and nearly skipped this one too, but I didn’t want to let it go. Treading Water, my third poetry collection, officially launched yesterday. It’s available now on Amazon.
I’m still figuring out how to promote it. I am planning a book trailer, and I hope to spread the word about it on Social media. I wrote this book in the middle of grief and burnout. I wrote it because I didn’t know how else to stay afloat.
The past two weeks have been heavy: emotional weight, work stress, and the internal pressure of trying to be consistent. But here I am, showing up. If you’re reading this, thank you for showing up too. I am committed to getting back on schedule. This newsletter will be sent out every other Saturday.
If you’re treading water too, what helps you stay afloat in a world that weighs you down?
