August 2024 Musings You Time! Happy August, friends! I hope you had a great month and a beautiful summer! It still feels like summer here in North Carolina where I live, but I have felt a hint of that magical fall breeze a couple of mornings! I have been busy school planning for our homeschool this year, and it is always a joy to settle into the comfort of a fall schedule with holidays to look forward to. I wish you all a safe and happy school year! In wonderfully exciting news, Free Sings the Sea is available for preorder and will officially be out in the world in a few days! September the 3rd is release day, and I will keep you posted on all of the book news and events in the coming months!  If you would like to learn more about FSTS and my writing life, I was happy to be featured in Authority Magazine here, and on the wonderful Books and Bevies Blog here! 
I am also thrilled to announce that Free Sings the Sea merch is now available for purchase! I hope you love it and have a little time to browse and shop. #FreeandFawn4Ever! In the midst of all of these wonderful happenings, there has been some hardship as well. At the beginning of the summer, due to difficult life circumstances, I had to increase my workload outside of writing considerably. I will finish up August’s newsletter by continuing my series on the blessings and hardships of being a single mom and a writer with a topic that is close to my heart right now, and one that I hope will help you as well. When life gets busy and crazy as it so often does, you must allow yourself the space to LIVE YOUR DREAM!
It is unbelievably easy for us to give up on our creative dreams and get lost in a sea of mundane real life tasks and responsibilities. Investing in you is easier said than done, I understand, but worth it. One practice that may help you accomplish this is to put yourself on your schedule! You time is important time. Not in a selfish way of course, and our children and families must come first. But even a few minutes a day invested in your dream or something you love can have tremendous benefits. Some mornings I only have time to work on one or two lines of the novel I am currently revising, but a little adds up to a lot in the end! Please don’t give up on you. Even if it’s only a few minutes a day of doing something you love, schedule it in. Do something every day that makes your soul sing! Love, Stac
