Okay, well not breaking but important. Okay, well not important but interesting. To me anyway. How about I just tell you the news and you can make of it what you will. Yes. Let’s do that.
So, as many of you may know, I’ve been struggling recently balancing work, writing, life – you know, the usual.
Well, things are about to get a whole lot more complicated!!
Hubby and I have just taken on new jobs as the dual managers of a local Retirement Village! This is a live in position so we’ll be moving into a new house in the next couple of weeks, and then learning our new responsibilities as managers of 104 houses and some 300+ residents!

I don’t yet know how this will affect my WIP novel writing, but I do know that I will no longer have the time to keep up all my scheduled posts and segments. So, I thought rather than culling segments willy nilly, I’d throw it open to my readers to decide what should stay and what will be cut.
So please, have a look at the poll below and indicate your favourite segment. I’ll then choose the TWO most popular segments and keep these going. All else, sadly, will be surrendered.
The poll will be open for one week.
Thanks all!
I have never used the poll function before so if for some reason it doesn’t work, let me know!
Voted. Good luck in your new venture!

This is tough for me to decide because I like all of your posts. I go through what you are experiencing at the moment and what I would say is to post when you can. I and others will still be here to read it. As for voting, this is going to require heavy thought.

Thanks Mike; I certainly will be around – not leaving by any stretch of the imagination. I just can’t keep up ALL of the scheduled posts 🤗

I have voted now but it wasn’t easy. It’s perfectly understandable if you can’t keep up with all your posts. In the past, I tried to set a posting quota on myself and get frustrated if I couldn’t stick to it. It’s not worth your health.

Sorry about not casting a vote. I’m a firm believer in “if you feel it, write it.”
Sometimes humor is easy to write, sometimes it isn’t. Some days you might write a paragraph or a poem. Whatever you have time to write, your readers will appreciate your work. 🙂

Congratulations, Jess. I wish you all luck. I love reading all your posts and hope you can manage to keep most of the categories… I trust you can do it. There is something about WordPress; even when we get busy we keep longing to it and to the community here; so I think you won’t be able to stay away for long…
My best wishes for you and your husband. Let’s know please if we can be of any assistance.
