What happens when you overthink your social media content? You forget to post an update on your webpage for DV Awareness month. 

Trying to find the right font/color/mood enhanced my menopausal insomnia. Dreaming about the right thing to say to motivate and encourage women who are suffering in abusive relationships is mind-bendingly difficult. 

Instead of stressing myself out into another mental health breakdown, I scheduled some posts this week. Because of my perfectionism, my novella has fallen to the wayside. This will be remedied over the weekend, and I don't mind brainstorming for the art of writing. It's the fucking content creation that gets me. 

My cell phone is in the living room as I type this update. I am anxiously awaiting the sentencing of Diddy. Optimism is not what comes to mind when I think of this fiasco. He wrote a fucking letter to the judge? What about the fucking survivors?

I'm still planning to publish my paranormal novella very soon. My goal is the end of October, with a holiday release date. Whether this is a Thanksgiving or New Year's Day holiday drop, we'll see. I have my heart set on causing controversy and precipitating open dialogues about the horrors of sex trafficking and sexual abuse, so it's trending on social media for months. I want to make pedophiles uncomfortable as fuck.

In the meantime, I am focusing more on family and writing and less on doomscrolling. I've updated the tagline for my website, so I don't have angry parents of children under 18 coming after me for my fucking website content. 

Until next time!

Follow me on Facebook, Instagram, and Threads! My content focuses on DV awareness, Gen X women, midlife women, women over 50, mental health, and talking about my books.

I am a budding mental health and domestic violence advocate. I am also a DV survivor. I intend to spread awareness by using my writing as a 'playbook', exposing abusive misogynists and their manipulative tactics.
