Drop in Books, Rise in Articles
This week, I didn’t get to work on my next book release, but I did focus on staying ahead with my article writing schedule, of which I upload 3 articles per week on my Medium page and LinkedIn. I’ve been working on some exciting features, including an interview with a debut author whose book is still in the works. She is such a beautiful soul, and it was a pleasure hearing her story and getting to know her on a deeper level. I also spoke with a glitch artist, which I bet you’ve never heard of, and I’m looking forward to sharing that conversation in an upcoming article. So, keep an eye out for those, as they’re both great reads that I think you’ll really enjoy!
Although it’s always tough to take a break from writing my books, I know getting ahead on my articles will help me stay on track in the long run. My goal for next week is to continue focusing on content creation while finding small pockets of time to squeeze in some novel writing, too. With the changes in my life recently, it’s been an adventure trying to find my new routine.
Current Reads
I didn’t get much reading done this week, but I’m excited to dive back into my current reads. So, no new recommendations this week, but if you’re looking for something engaging, definitely check out Filthy Rich Santas and Love Hard by Eva Ashwood. Both books are fun, steamy, and perfect for anyone looking for an escape with a dramatic and darkly romantic storyline.
I’m still reading Filthy Rich Santas and Love Hard by Eva Ashwood. I’m enjoying the mix of humor, spice, and drama in both stories. While I didn’t make much headway with the books, they’ve definitely been on my mind, and I’m looking forward to finishing them soon.
Oddly enough, I knew I wouldn’t be able to hit a very large reading goal for this year, so I’ve only set myself up for 20 books for the year, significantly less than the past two years’ goals. I knew that this year I would want to set my focus more into writing articles and publishing my next 2 books more than anything else, including reading 50 books or more.
Recent Movies & TV Shows
I finally sat down to watch the new season of Hell’s Kitchen tonight. It’s always such a wild ride with the drama in the kitchen, and I love how it’s both entertaining and exciting to see these chefs push their limits, though I’m certainly no chef. I think that’s partly why I love watching this show; seeing those who are incredibly talented in something I could never do is somehow truly inspiring. I’m looking forward to seeing how this season unfolds, and it’s already been unpredictable. It’s a great reminder of the dedication it takes to succeed in any field, whether it's cooking or writing.
