Hard work and looking back

Well, the newest book is out. The Star's Fake Marriage is live and I'm tickled pink. I thought for sure I'd miss my self-imposed deadline, but somehow, I managed to get it out on time. My editor, Christina, worked insane hours to get it cleaned up (so three cheers for her!)

I don't know about you all, but I'm a little tired. It seems like this year is flying by, and it shows no signs of slowing down.

Personally, I've felt like I've been hiking up Everest.

And you should know, I'm not a hiker.

I'm a little weary to be honest. Have you felt like that before? Feeling like you're rushing to get ahead, only to stop and realize you're in the same place? It can be a little disheartening.

But I've learned feelings can be deceptive.

I am rushing, tired, and weary, but hard work and perseverance are things you don't see until the end when you're looking back. I've always been told don't look back, but sometimes, I think I should. Not to live in the past, but because where I was, isn't where I am. And I think it's okay to be reminded of that when my feelings are true.
