Self, 2025

 

Here's a picture of me just the other day. I liked the softness. My mom bought me some flannels, and I've been loving them. My lovely friend downstairs gave me this head wrap...I liked it but then it gave me a dent in my head, which is big as hell, and it was too tight and so, this is the last you'll see of it. I've also heard that sweatpants are back in, which is cool with me, because I've never stopped wearing them, ha. So now I'm "in." Actually, I don't give a fuck about clothes, but I do like to be warm and cozy.

I've been generating a lot of book interest, and I'm grateful...the numbers are getting closer and closer to number one! I can't wait to get there. :) XO. But what's most important to me? Helping folks, reaching people, sharing my experience to aid others in processing through trauma and the like...heading toward joy and recovery. We are all in recovery from something. And I believe we've all been through trauma. And my fifth book, RECOVER WILDLY, targets this notion in real time. I don't hold back. I'm raw, real, and even funny at times in this sucker. Thank you to those taking a chance on my art. If you'd like to escape for a while, my novels are great for that! Four of those available to you now, and they're all fast paced and unique, although with each one, you can tell it's my style. I'm a master at my craft. XO. And I'm about to do research for book six. Hells yeah.

Love to you. You're a star. I'm a star. Thank you,
C.A. MacConnell

Beside You, Fifty-one

 

Beside You


Fifty-one

Hi there. Some shots I just took on my walk today. Hope you're having an amazing day. I'm taking care of things and resting...gonna watch a movie I think. Just had a yummy avocado. :) XO. Don't forget to check out my books! Thank you so much for those supporting my art. I sure did work hard to create these amazing books, and if you've read, please don't forget to leave a review! And pass it on. TYVM. XO. 

If you check out my novels, I think you'll be transported by the characters. My writing is very real and intense...and the dialogue is like no other. Hells yeah. People are usually surprised. I have a knack for the male characters...it's fun for me. Let me give you an example. If my character Johnboy were to describe my writing, he'd say:  "Yo, if you digging into C.A.'s mass writings, you are one animal cracker on the scene, 'cause she's all about busting out fly lines like she's gonna shoot up with the Pillsbury Doughboy downtown and take his Candyland ass up to the Dairy Queen to suck down some creamy whip. And no cheap lactose free; I'm talking about the total lard Choco dip special sauce, and the twist, you know wha I'm sayin? When you dig into C.A.'s books, you gonna hit your board goofy foot lead and fly right up to Uranus, and there's no coming back from that asshole, because that space trip is for real, uptown and starry, like no other. So, hang on for the ride, motherfucker, because here comes swallowing rainbow sprinkles and Creamy Deluxe action, for real. Now stop reading my words and hand over my slime gel for my hair. I know you lifted it, dick, so give it up. Time to bust out some graffiti and check out the bony chicks hanging outside the fence. I got my eye on that teeny tiny mean cat with the little titties and the pierced tongue, holy shit. Now get back to reading C.A., before her afternoon nap, which is like a millisecond long, but whatever. I love you, but I'll kill you next time."

See, I can slip into Johnboy if I feel like it. That's what he'd say about me, haha. No AI in any of my books, hells no. I created, wrote, edited, and designed every single one, every page, every line, every word. Right.  Johnboy is from THE HOUSE OF ANCHOR, which is my favorite.

My delivery job has been a great opportunity to work through some PTSD, strangely enough. I'm seeing the bigger picture of God working in my life. I don't like the process of feeling the feelings at all, ha, that's for sure, and it can be ugly some days but, in my experience, it's rewarding to push straight through. Because there have been glimpses of freedom and joy...and that's where I'm heading. That's exactly what my fifth book is about. Yes. <3 Forward! Weirdly, going forward can appear messy but, in reality, transparency shows progress, enormous strength, and awesome internal growth. Can't say it's been fun, no, but it feels right to my heart -- this process of walking right through the toughest layer of shit. That's the best I can describe it to a reader. And perhaps, if you've been through something similar, you can relate. I'm sure many can. We all have trauma, indeed.

Can't wait to see what happens next. I think it'll have to do with some speaking, telling my story, talking about my books, and the like; that's what I've been working on. I'll let you know. I am excited about this, for sure. I love to speak, and I'd love to help folks with my story; it's a unique and amazing one! Isn't that why we're here...to use our stories and experiences to create magic? I think so. 

I think I'll work on some songs tonight. Love to you, C.A. MacConnell

Patient. And a Photo.

Today, after a tumultuous afternoon of thinking (ha ha, consumed with the self, never fun unless I channel it into fiction) I meditated, and I heard this, "Be patient with yourself." Those words literally stopped the thinking in its tracks. Just a simple, gentle reminder. Thought I'd pass it on. Maybe it'll help you as well.

Thank you to all those supporting my books! Don't forget to leave a review!

Hope you're having a good day. Here's a photo for you. One of my favorites I've taken. Love to you,
C.A. MacConnell
