Today is such a beautiful day... everyday is!
Get outside, head to the park, and practice mindfulness.

Bring your copy of A WALK IN THE PARK, then after your walk, find a comfortable place to sit, relax, and read.

If you didn't catch it on my story yesterday - I said tomorrow's market is likely my last one before Winnipeg Comic Con this year.... and I had a couple people reach out asking why I'm not doing as many markets this year compared to the last 2 years.

WELL ... LET ME EXPLAIN:

Less markets/More events - what does that mean??

-Less "craft" markets (don't worry, I still plan to do a few each year!)
- More "events", like a larger convention (Comic Con is a good example) or book related events (like readings, conventions, sales, etc.)
- More time to focus on writing, publishing, and creating art

Less "busy" work/More creating - why??

- Doing so many markets has taken away a lot of "me time" AND a lot of time I want to dedicate to creating: writing and publishing books, and making art
- Because I was doing so many markets, honestly, my ADHD brain (I mean this literally) could not keep up and I was so mentally exhausted - even now I have to remind myself to take breaks and its okay to do nothing sometimes
- Craft markets are becoming increasingly EXPENSIVE and it financially does not make sense to do them every other weekend anymore. I love markets, but when someone tells you in person they rather buy your book on Amazon it can be exhausting (Im not saying dont buy it there, but... Im here in person lol)
- Spacing out events gives me more time to prepare without the panic and anxiety (and even still I can feel the stress at times)

DONT WORRY!
I will STILL be doing some markets, but I'll also be getting involved in BIGGER things - And honestly BETTER (better for me, better for my books and business).

A Walk in the Park is a childrens picture book, written as a guided visualization exercise - a mindfulness walk in a park.

The goal of A Walk in the Park is to teach kids (and everyone) about mindfulness - what it is, breathing, and slowing down to pay attention to your body's senses.

I didn't know what mindfulness was until I was out of high school, that's why it's important to make this practice more accessible to kids earlier than later.

Mindfulness can help you regulate your emotions, reduce stress and anxiety, and overall improve physical and mental health.

SO HERE'S THE THING ....
I am introverted - even if you know the social me, trust me, I like to be alone and like to speak to no one. If I'm social with you, you found a secret hack. I don't like attention, and as an author and small business owner, that creates a huge struggle for me. Even before this journey, I struggled with imposter syndrome and the idea of "I'll never be able to do..."
There are 3 specific things I thought I'd NEVER be able to accomplish, but I always wanted to.
1. WRITING A BOOK:
I've written 4 books (2 published), while I never intended to ever write a children's book... it happened. I did it. I always thought if I did write a book, it would be a fantasy novel (still working on that!) Honest Holly came from some random idea somewhere in my head when I was stuck on my novel. Your goal might not start exactly how you want. And dont rely on motivation; it can help, but you have to constantly do the work.
2. PUBLISHING A BOOK:
Growing up, indie publishing was not a thing. At least not talked about. If you managed to have your project "printed," it was usually 1 or 2 copies. And it doesn't have to have the "ick" factor. Yes, sometimes self-publishing gets a bad rap because their book wasn't edited or didn't have a professional design their cover. I published Honest Holly on my own without a traditional OR hybrid publisher. I made the decision to spend countless hours googling, reading, watching videos, and networking, trying to learn everything I could about publishing, and about indie pub world.
3. STARTING A BUSINESS:
So, I always liked the idea of starting/owning a business - Dragon's Den was pretty popular growing up. The thought was, "I wish I had a cool idea to..." Especially with indie publishing, you automatically get thrown into the business world (if you actually want to sell your books). I didn't realize my big idea was literally writing my ideas onto pages. Then, the other things followed. Insert Slogan here: "It all begins with an idea"
