Happy Sunday from this newbie who's actually an "oldbie" and finding her way around again - one creaky step at a time! (And thank heavens for wonderful friends like @bluefinstudios,
@dreemsteem and
@saffisara answering questions like... how do I sign in, and how do I add a photos again?)
It's a joy to be back and finding more wonderful faces from five years ago... and I can't wait to meet new faces too.
As I've been away for so long, here's a quick refresher... and update. On here I go by Eveningart - or Evie, if you see me hanging around on discord. A lot has changed in the last 5 years. Back then, I'd just left full time employment to chase life as a writer and I was living in Devon, UK.
Well, gentle reader - I'm still a writer, but I'm not chasing anymore! I was lucky enough to snag a traditional publishing contract back in 2019, with my debut arriving in 2020.
Right. In. The. Middle. Of. The. Pandemic.
After chasing the dream for a long time, I discovered that I don't like traditional publishing. At all. I love things to be fast-paced. Even more than that... I love to be in control. When you're with one of the big publishers - you're definitely not in control... and they're soooooo slooooooooooooow! My solution? Indie publishing all the way. And with 31 books launched in just 3 years... I think I've found my stride!
There's tons of other stuff that has happened since I last saw you too - and I'll dive into it all in future posts - but as a very quick pootle through half a decade...
Life is strange and funny and odd and precious. I'm excited to be back to share bits of it and peep into your worlds too.
Until tomorrow,
Evie xx
