The Sweetie Chronicles

  • Slacking

    I have seriously been slacking when it comes to blogging and social networking. I’ve barely been posting on twitter or facebook recently. Bad Sarra. I promise it hasn’t been all happiness and roses here, though. I’ve been having some major morning sickness (something I have learned is grossly misnamed since it lasts 24/7), which is making it difficult to get a lot of work done. I have never been one to handle nausea well. I’m a wimp about it actually. And my life has been nausea city these days, haha. Yes, I know, excuses excuses. Where’s the next book? LOL….

  • My BIG Personal News!

    This is going to be another personal post, along with a brief update on RIVAL DEMONS. First of all, I wanted to say thank you to everyone who left comments and sent me messages when I opened up in this post about my personal journey with PCOS and infertility. As I said before, I have wanted to have a baby for a very long time and even though my husband and I had been trying for quite a while, we had not been successful. I told you that we were preparing for our first round of IVF (in vitro fertilization)…

  • Happy One Year Anniversary, Beautiful Demons!!

    I’m a little late with this happy birthday celebration, but as of October 29th, it’s been exactly one year since I first published BEAUTIFUL DEMONS!!! The decision to become an Indie author and self-publish my books in ebook format was a huge decision for me. Like most writers, I had always wanted the validation of seeing my book in a physical bookstore and having an agent or editor tell me they loved and believed in my work. It took a lot of time and hair-pulling to finally move beyond that false idea of validation and realize that my future was…

  • Catching Up

    Wow, I’m so sorry I’ve been annoyingly absent from the interwebs for a few weeks. If you read my earlier post, Pouring My Heart Out, you know I’ve been taking some time to deal with a very personal issue. After some self-reflection, I feel that I am ready to rejoin the writing world and start blogging again! For anyone who is interested, I will hopefully have an update about my personal life and my journey toward having a baby sometime in early November. In the meantime, I thought I would post a few updates about what’s been going on with…

  • Pick Your Purse!

    Sorry for the delay in blogging. I’ve been taking some time off to focus on my family and getting ready for IVF. First off, I want to just say thank you to everyone who read my previous post and has supported me. I got such an outpouring of love and hugs from comments, email, twitter, facebook, everywhere. Thank you so much everyone, you have no idea how much that means to me! I have been taking the time I need to just relax and de-stress, so I’ve been staying away from my blog and from my novel for a bit….

  • Pouring My Heart Out

    Ah, faithful blog readers, I have been keeping things from you. I have been trying to act like things are normal and that I am one hundred percent focused on writing. I have been trying to pretend that even though I’m going through some tough personal things, I can still be superwoman when it comes to churning books out. Unfortunately, it all caught up with me this week at the beach. The week I thought would be a huge breakthrough week for me, one where I would write 40,000 words and get ahead on my book deadline, actually turned out…
