Hello Hipsy followers!
So this blog is meant to update you on everything that's been going on, resulting in not many posts thus far. In truth, I have been writing blogs, but for the bookstore that I work for; if you would like to read any of them, just click on any of the links listed below. Also, my "Which Is Better" challenge is on temporary hold since I was asked to review some novels for local authors in my community (I have finished one of the books, so expect a review soon!)
One major turn of events though that has also put my writing a little on hold (but has freed up my time as well) is that I got a new job! I still work for the bookstore I have mentioned I write for, but I am also now an instructor at a secondary school (something I was always unsure about). This new career choice is actually turning out to be good so far, and my stress levels have gone down. If you have been following me since I created this blog in 2010 or have read some of my older posts, you know that I have a problem with depression and anxiety affecting my writing and my motivation to write; I've even gone on a few hiatuses where I didn't post anything, and I know that has damaged my views quite a bit. But with becoming an instructor, I have realized how debilitating the stress I had working in retail caused, and though I am still in retail only on the weekends, I have had a lot of relief wash over me in the past few months. I have also come to realize how much I am enjoying teaching right now; hopefully, I will enjoy it for the years to come.
But to wrap this all up, it looks as though this year, though starting stressful, is starting to pay off and not be as draining as previous years have been. My writing has considerably gone up, and though not much of it is shown on my blog as much I would like, I am glad to finally find time to get back into my favorite "side job"/hobby. Again, if you'd like to read any of the blogs I have written for my bookstore, feel free to click on any of the links below and make sure to leave me some feedback at any time, be it recommendations, requests, or simply if you liked the article/blog or not. Also, I will be having a book review up soon and when it is, I hope you all get a chance to read it and enjoy its contents. Until then, keep a lookout for any topic you'd like me to discuss and let me know in the comments below or email them to me (yep, that's right! I made an email specifically for my blog) at hipsysview@gmail.com.
Listed are the links to the blogs I have written for the bookstore I work with from February to July of this year:
