I will openly admit that I put on a happy face at the time, but I was really disappointed. The sales were pathetic compared to the Elemental books. So despite what common wisdom would dictate, I paused in writing the Elemental series after Building From Ashes so I could write something COMPLETELY different with Shifting Dreams. I never wanted to pigeonhole myself creatively or professionally. I never wanted to be that writer who was only known for one thing. This was a deliberate juggle on my part that has (mostly) paid off. This means I can spend my professional life writing and researching stories and getting the word out to readers like yourself! This also means that passion only takes me so far. But I am also a full-time writer, the kind that has no second income or fall-back employment. Clearly, I like avoiding the real world as much as possible. Why have I been dreading it? Well, because it’s a post talking about: Today I am writing a post that I’ve been DREADING.
