Establishing a Labor of Love

Maybe a better title is re-establishing a labor of love. I’m coming off a three year hiatus from publishing and really doing much writing beyond papers for school. That’s never to say that I didn’t do any writing, in fact, Legacy wouldn’t be live now if I didn’t do something productive in that time, but it was far from my main focus.

That was a good thing though. I think often many (and I got caught in the trap myself) look at writing as a career with anything but writing full time as a failure. It’s far from it. Creating is now my summer job since the day job is teaching, but I’ve rediscovered my passion for it. I chase the stories I want to tell instead of simply what will sell. (Full disclaimer, nothing wrong with looking at trends and writing toward them, but it’s hard for me to do well) Will they ever make me rich? Maybe. That’s for the readers to decide if they want to take a chance. I’ll just make the best books possible and put heart into them again.
