Life has a way of surprising you, even with your best laid plans. Here, I drew a comic about how it works last October:
When I last updated this blog, I was the mother of one with no history of twins from either side. Today, I am the mother of three, including 1 1/2 -year-old twin boys. To say that my free time is limited is a bit of an understatement.
Mom is my full-time gig right now and writing has very much had to take a back-burner. I miss being able to write as much as I want, but my life is full of new adventures and my kids certainly spark more than their fair share of ideas. In fact, I'm keeping documents with funny stories on each of them in the hopes of someday turning it into either blog or book material.
While most of my big writing projects are on hold, I have completed a Halloween-themed children's book (that so far doubles as a coloring book), that I wrote for my daughter and have shared with her class at school, as well as some friends, and will be looking into wider distribution/sales at some point. This is my daughter's copy that she has gleefully colored in:
I also have a few short stories in the works, and am looking into setting up an anthology with a few writer friends of mine.
I've also begun some other creative pursuits, namely drawing. If you're interested in checking out my work, I have linked to my art instagram on my "Contact Me" page.
Last, but not least: I am no longer the only published author in the family. In fact, my dad, Doug Adcock, launched his second novel today! He writes historical fiction spy novels - action, adventure, and tension all in a meticulously researched historical setting. Check out his books Rebellion and the sequel, Massacre!
