Liz Writes: The Blog

 Hello Readers!       Probably another short read, but I just wanted to be honest with you guys about my full-time job. While I do love my job to an extent and it's really easy, I'm starting to face some major burnout from it. Tonight, when I go into work, will either be my ninth or tenth day straight of working and the struggle is real. But I am dependable, so I'm not going to call out or go home early unless something is desperately wrong with me. Plus, in the next few weeks, I'm getting three days off which will give me some much-needed rest. However, it is slightly setting my anxiety off because I'm going to be short on money for a few weeks. My anxiety, coupled with the burnout, is causing some slight depression but I am going to push through this and not let it get me. I hate this about me, honestly, but at least I'm willing to self-reflect and somewhat try to work through it by talking about it. The main thing is that not having money causes me to worry t...

 Hello Readers,       I know that I mentioned a bit about some of my favorite books in an earlier post, and how I identified with mostly the female centered characters, what I don't remember is talking about my favorite music. As a young child, I was introduced to a wild mix of music, and it has shaped me just as much as reading has. My biological father was a big Hank Sr. fan and my mom's favorite singer is Engelbert Humperdinck. That is some range there between music genres because Ol' Hank was big in the 40's and 50's with country music and Engelbert Humperdinck saw his rise to fame in the 70's when soulful love songs primed with the likes of Tom Jones. Honestly, I didn't start finding my own music to listen to until middle school and high school. High School Musical made me love musicals while the Phantom of the Opera gave me an appreciation for Opera. This spurred my love for Andrea Bocelli and also kind of made me find Celtic Woman. I also don't th...

 Hello Readers,       As promised, here is another post for my blog. I just wanted to give a quick update for my book and I managed to type up my first full chapter this morning. You see, I'm not sure if I mentioned in my previous post, but I had handwritten almost 10 full chapters of the book in a notebook. The smell of pen ink on top of the texture of pen indentation on the paper gave me satisfaction back in 2018. It was also easier at the time to hand write my thoughts. Now, I see the importance of having a computer so that I can better gauge how much progress I'm making with word count. Here's to writing more of my book and blog             -Liz

 Hello Readers!       This post might be on the short side because I'm not honestly sure what to write for my blog today. This is more like a filler post, I guess, but I did decide to work on a previous book because I had written at least 9 to 10 chapters in that book before losing interest/motivation to write it. I originally started writing that book around 2017 and was off and on with it in 2018. I won't reveal the name of it yet here, because it might change later on, but my mom "should" remember it. If you're reading this mom, I'm not calling you old, I just know that it's been a long time since we've discussed the book in question. I'm not sure if I mentioned in the last post, but the book that I'm starting to work on again is in the category of Sci-Fi/Fantasy/YA with more emphasis on the Fantasy side. I will also say that I heavily identify with the main character of the book because of how I would like to see myself develop.        I wi...

 Hello Readers,       I'm sorry that it has been over a month since I've last posted, but things got hectic around here in our little world. Let me first preface this by saying that I had to go back to work to help pay bills. While at the start, Alan (my fiancé) and I both worked at the same time, I worked nights and he worked during the day. This did not last too long as gas was a struggle to keep up with and that his health was getting to him due to the stress of not having any help at work. On top of that, he had a really bad manager who would let her bipolar slip whenever she felt like it and that did not pair well with Alan's mental. So now, he's staying home and taking care of our child and that has released some tension on all of us. Since he does that for me, I can sleep more and at least it is a decent, unbroken amount. This is not always the case though, because toddlers are wild, and I know that my baby wants my attention sometimes.      ...
