Optional Monthly Question: If you ever did stop writing, what would you replace it with?
I don’t see myself ever not engaging in some sort of writing activity throughout my life. If; however, I was prohibited by law, with the threat of death and generational fines; yet- somehow oddly not banned from drawing or dancing- I’d do one of those. I don’t think I’m particularly good at either, but I do enjoy them both immensely. Plus, I don’t see cooking ever becoming illegal, though the world is getting crazier every day, so I could also express creativity with the meals I make.

Now, on to the personal updates.
May was a busy crazy month for me. Some good, some not so good, but fortunately nothing too bad. I was so busy, I actually forgot to post to this blog and my Patreon community a few times. I won’t go back and do make-up content for this blog, but I have a plan to deliver the make-up content to my Patrons. Plus, I’ve been working on a lot of new and exclusive content.
While I didn’t read a lot, I did keep up with my Goodreads challenge, which I’ll post about next week, along with my book reviews. I did write a lot, which I wish I hadn’t forgotten to share, but like I said, I have a plan to make up that content. I recorded and posted two new videos on my YouTube channel: Counting My Blessings and Have U Seen This, featured below.?
Oh, oh, and I’m so excited to release season two of my Read Local Show! I’ve completed three episodes and hope to get at least one more. Season 2 Episode 1 airs this Friday, 6/9/23 with author Drema Deoraich. I’m still trying to line up talent for the Read All Over Show, so if you know anyone interested, please send them my way.
Birthday month, I mean June, has started out in full force, so I don’t have too much to say until the dust settles. Happy Birthday to all my family, friends, and anyone else who has a birthday in June.

What would you do if you couldn’t write?
How has your year in reading been going?
It may take some time, but I promise, I will eventually stop by your blog.
My response time has gotten slower but I’m still making my rounds.
