This month I will start the process of re-fashioning Savannah Rayne.
For far too long, she has slipped away, unnoticed by most, silently through the
literary world’s cracks. I am a little stunned by how quickly I was forgotten and the few posts I
managed to get done on social media sites received no “likes” or “comments”. Most
fans faded from being active on my page, to barely acknowledging my sporadic
appearances. A few have remained steadfast and I thank you for
being loyal; for allowing me to be human. Book sales declined and quite honestly had me feeling why bother? My life has been busy, stressed and
sometimes unbelievably chaotic. That has played the major roll in my lack of consistent
blogging, media socializing, promoting my published works and completing new
ones. I’ve sadly let life’s daily happenings dictate ME and how I go through
my days.
BUT on the bright side that is thankfully going to
change. Life has finally reached some normal stability. Stresses are much less,
life is happier, calmer.
Time still proves to be my greatest obstacle; there
are just not enough hours in the day to meet my responsibilities and the needs
of everything and everyone…however, that too will be changing. Come summer my
full-time day job will become more part-time. Those “free” hours will then be
dedicated to time I can write and focus on promotion to further my career as a
writer. Eventually, as my day job comes to an end once the triplets that I care
for start school, I have decided to “retire” from the childcare profession. Thirty-four
years of caring for little people has been wonderful, but I need a change. I’m
hoping by that time I will have made enough progress to become a full-time writer
and still put food on the table.
So starting this month I will be having things re-designed
to better fit Savannah Rayne and her style of writing. A new logo, banners/headers,
swag and promotional materials will be done. I’m VERY excited about this! It’s
kind of like “redecorating” my house, and you know how I LOVE decorating and
changing things up, lol. I’ll also start blogging regularly again and hitting
the social media circuit for some fun and laughs. Contests, giveaways and random
surprises are just a few of the goings-on you can look forward to!
With a whole lot of luck (fingers crossed) I’m hoping
to kick it all off with the release of a new book…or two.
Yep, it’s going to be a VERY busy time for me/Savannah.
No longer will I let life hold the reigns to my happiness. I’m back in the
driver’s seat and plan on staying there!
This won’t happen overnight, but it WILL happen! If you love storms I
hope you’ll come along for the ride, just make sure to hold on tight to your umbrella!
wow..nice ...so glad to hear that you are finally going to retire and concentrate on your writing..I know that I for one have been waiting for the continuing stories in all of your awesomely wonderful books..Im thinking that you need to do another book signing maybe after things get settled..like in Green Bay somewhere ???? hope things are going well for you now and hope to read more on this wonderful blog.. ! love ya sweetie
ReplyDeleteToday, any country's airport represents everything that the country is and has become, as well as the nature of its interaction with the rest of the world.
ReplyDeleteCountries have constructed airports to handle both modern aircraft and bigger flights capable of carrying thousands of people at once.
To satisfy the criteria of the world's greatest and largest airports, Qatar created a modern airport with all the essential standards, which was named Hamad International Airport in Doha, Qatar's capital.
The Qatari airport will catapult Qatar to the forefront of new nations and cutting-edge airports.
Qatar has a prominent global reputation, and it is home to a network of ties that runs all the way around the world, east and west.
