My first Entry!
After at least three defunct blogs, maybe it’s not a great idea to try again. There is so much going on right now I imagine getting readers will be difficult. I did learn things from my previous websites, and I won’t start a commerce page anytime soon. And the goal will be to post once a week.
My reason for starting this website is my new fancy pen name, M.C. Allison. It’s simply my initials and last name, not to be mistaken with ‘master of ceremony.’ I got good news that I have a manuscript that needs some revision but not a complete rewrite. I had more positive feedback on this version than the earlier ones.
I sent the manuscript to one publisher and did not hear back, so I am going to assume they passed on it and start the revision. I’m leaning to trying to get an agent or publisher, but I may consider self publishing too. Having an active website, and more social media presence can’t hurt.
I titled this entry ‘bummer summer,’ because of what happened around a month ago. The summer was going great until I had to go to the emergency room on a Saturday. Without going into too much information I’m fine now but need to drink Metamucil daily for a long time. And later this summer I’ll get a colonoscopy. My favorite hobby is skateboarding and I’m afraid to skate frequently because people fall all the time when skating. I don’t want to slam hard enough to give me trouble down there. I’m skating about once a week and cruising around, but it’s not the same as trying to progress.
My other complaints are I’m having a hard time getting into an exercise routine, I got sunburned badly a few weeks ago, and I felt some anxiety at certain times. I think my mental health is good right now but it could be better. I need to make sure that my 2016 psychotic episode was the last one I’ll have. To do this I need to keep taking my meds, have good family and friend contacts, avoid partying, and not have insomnia.
Lastly starting this blog or ‘author website,’ will be a good hobby to make writing a routine. Again I’ll post once a week. Tuesday nights work. And things will get better.
