Busy days!

J.I. Soucie

The last few days I have been busy reading and writing and researching information for some of my blogs I write besides this one. Been updating my allergy and adrenal fatigue blog and have come across some interesting information lately. So will be busy with writing some articles for a while.

I also, have all six of my books on facebook, each having their own page.

Just mailed several people about The History of Sackets Harbor, New York, to see if anyone in the village is interested in stocking the book and selling it. So we’ll what will come of that.

But for now, since it is after 1Am and I have a three year old to watch in the morning, I should get my butt in bed.

Night all and I’ll be back again soon.

A Personal Decision

J.I. Soucie

For all of my readers whether on my blog or Facebook, I feel I need to let you all know I am taking a break from writing and not sure when I will get back to it. I have been going through depression for over seven years, but I have reached a phase in my recovery where I need to take time off from the career (writing) that I was pursuing. I can’t handle the stress it brings and I just have so much fatigue, and trouble focusing, and little motivation to do anything. Things are a LOT better than they used to be so I know therapy and such are working, but right now, I need to take a break from things and just let myself read some self help books and meditate on what I learn and just take it easy and try to enjoy life as it is…learn to accept the positive changes in my life and embrace them and NOT be afraid of them. So, I have some things to focus on in my personal life, so you may not see me post for a while at least not about writing projects. On Facebook, you won’t seem promoting any of my work and I probably won’t be participating in Camp NaNo or National Novel Writer’s Month this year.

I hope you all understand. This break will give me time to reflect on the changes in my life, how to accept them and deal with all of the hardships and changes I’ve been through as a result.  I am on a journey of self discovery…and only God knows where that will lead me.

God bless you all in all you do as he guides you on the right path.

Revamping Writing Style

J.I. Soucie

For the past few months, I haven’t written much, I’m sorry to say. I guess you can say I am in the middle of one of those life transforming stages and I’m thinking about what it is I really want to write. What am I comfortable writing about as a Christian woman? I used to write about vampires, demons,  gypsies, etc., but over the past few years I have become uncomfortable with writing about some things. I feel as a Christian I have a responsiblitity to be an example to others and that includes also in my writing and what I choose to write about.

To be honest, I have never looked into writing Christian fiction but I am seriously considering that now. I even bought a couple of books to help get me into that line of work.

But I also have a few nonfiction books I’d like to write sharing my experiences with post traumtic stress disorder, gluten sensitivity, what it’s like for me living with a personality as an INFP, and what’s it’s like to be highly sensitive. The nonfiction works will probably be what I focus on first. I haven’t decided which book will be first but as soon as I begin work on that book I will let you know and keep updating you on the progress of that book. Until then everyone, take care and God bless.

6th Day of National Novel Writers Month

J.I. Soucie

Here we are on the 6th day of NaNoWriMo! How is everyone doing so far? I managed to kick out over 3000 words today so I have a total of just over 12,000 words. Not too shabby for having missed writing yesterday so I had to work hard to catch up today. Tomorrow I hope to have some time to write but we shall. I have a doctor’s appointment in the morning and then it’s all up to if my daughter will let me have my iPad. We bought her the LeapFrog Tablet and she loves it. Problem is the batteries are dead in it already and she’s already started asking for my iPad again. Ugh! Can’t really blame her I guess.

Well, it is getting late and I must go and prepare a few things for my appointment for tomorrow. Good night everyone. Sleep tight and sweet dreams! May the writing must warmly embrace you in the morning.

God bless!
