Hi there! Happy Halloween! Just a newsy note from Chris. I worked really hard today...I didn't dress up this year...sorry to disappoint. Hope you're feeling happy and loved! I'm rather sleepy but can't sleep, kinda thing, for whatever reason. Restless on the inside, I'd say. I've been struggling with a lot of anxiety for a while now, due to a lot of change and life circumstances, but I sure am learning a lot each and every day. And that's how I'm taking things -- one day at a time. I'm rather transparent about all of this in my writings and in person, and it definitely scares people sometimes. Over the years, I've dialed it down...but I tend to be pretty open. Just who I am, I suppose. And I'm learning to love that little girl (me) slowly but surely.
The past two days, I've done a better job. Earlier in the week, blah, not great. But it's about progress, right? XO. Hope you're gentle with yourself. I'm telling myself that right in this moment. And as I'm writing it, I have a little tear creeping in my eye. <3
I suppose it's a lifelong process for all.
Much of this learning rolled out of me in my fifth book, nonfiction, RECOVER WILDLY: DAILY SPIRITUAL ESSAYS FOR SURVIVORS. For those reading, thanks for the support! It turned out awesome, and I'm extremely pleased with each and every page. Don't forget to leave a review! <3 Pass it on. Word of mouth is my friend.
I also have four novels, all of which are amazing and unique. My style is intense, for sure, and they all have a mystery element. I am a master at dialogue, and I am a master at many things having to do with writing, it's true. These books are incredible. Take a chance. I stand behind each and every one with my whole heart.
Most folks are surprised by my fiction, particularly the spot-on male characters, ha. I have a lot of characters running around in my tricky brain.
I've begun some work on a new book. It's fiction. :) Rad.
Just saying hello and checking in. Sending love. And remember...each moment is an opportunity. I can even rewrite the story of my past. I'm writing this to you, but I'm reminding myself as well. That's how it works. We're in this together!
Hope you have a beautiful evening. Maybe I'll see you out and about.
Love to you,
C.A. MacConnell
