Forcing A Break

Okay I know that all this stress isn't healthy and I've carried it around for years. Being young I should have more to focus on than just my career. Easier said than done but hopefully I can find some breathing space once things are settled. Got some good things going on. I donated an autographed book to Sheila Goss' latest contest. I'm still waiting so that I can get back to reviewers for book reviews and interviews. Hopefully I will be able to do that by the end of the week.

I bring too much unneeded stress in my life. My plate's already full so I decided I have to cut down on some things. I won't have anymore contests for a while, probably until the winter. They take up too much time. I enjoy them but why add unnecessary stress? I plan to donate some books to children's charities. I can probably do that soon. I will focus on my fiction. I plan to retire from the " celebrity biography " stage of writing by the end of this year. Fiction is my game and I want to do ONLY that like intended. These bios drain me. At first it was exciting but nothing compares to the feeling I get from my fiction. That's what I was put on earth to do and I will do it come hell or high water. If people can't accept that, I can't do anything about it. I have to do what's good for me. I'm not interested in anyone enough to write their story. If I don't move with my fiction now, at this point, when will I?

I am so happy about my Latino love story being published soon. I hope a lot of good things come from that. I am content and from now on will not be pressured to do things for others but to do things only for myself. So I am forcing a break from stressful situations in hopes to find peace of mind. Whatever that may be.
