August News: Lockdown Fatigue

Hello!

Got lockdown fatigue? I do. I'm so over this "new normal" and have a bad case of wanderlust. Another day at the beach is in order. I need a change of scenery and time with my bestie. Don't worry, I'll social distance and wear my mask. I hope you're staying safe too.

Last month I participated in Camp NaNoWriMo. I'm pleased to announce that I wrote 25+ words and won my winner's certificate one week ahead of schedule. YAY!! I took the last week of July off from writing to relax and read. Unfortunately, I've struggled to get back into my writing groove. Lockdown fatigue is a real thing, y'all! It's definitely time for me to find my focus again.

BOOKS TO BINGE
During my mini book binge, I finally got around to reading all of the Historical Royal Palaces souvenir guidebooks I picked up two years ago in England on my first trip to Europe. My favorite one was A Really Useful Guide to the Georgians. It truly was a useful guide. After reading it, I decided it's high time I dive into the vibrant, bewigged world of the Georgian era and write a romance series (or two!) set in the 18th century. It's one of my favorite periods in history, after all. Getting lost in historical research has been the perfect distraction from my lockdown woes. Just wait until you see my character inspiration pics!  

SHOWS TO BINGE
Over the weekend my Hero Hubby and I binged The Umbrella Academy Season 2 on Netflix. I love this show!! It's such a bizarre and entertaining superhero drama with great characters.
