Hey, hey y'all. What's up?
I am setting up my planner for the next few months, and I am on the brim of being overwhelmed and conscious enough to keep telling myself to schedule things out and then forget about them. I finish scheduling out my teacher planner and then look at all the colors and fonts and realized I still have to schedule writing and authorprenuer activities, teacherprenuer activities and umm sleep! But I am not overwhelmed, I'm, uhh, organized. Yeah, that's it.
Good News
On a less depressing note, my #DonorsChoose project was completely funded!!! I had a $600 project filled with books by diverse authors and different grade levels to add to my class library that I started from scratch this year. My deadline was approaching of September 29th and I had a little over $100 in donations. Which is excellent, don't get me wrong. I was however, feeling a little discouraged. The self-doubt of my project being too large. At work today I was making my way through PDs and my to-do list and my iPad, phone and smartwatch buzzed. (The wonders of having all your devices connected to everything 😜)
I glanced down really quick (at my iPad) and saw 'your project has been funded'. Excitement and disbelief flooded me as I called my mom to share the good news!
What's New?
Another thing I am really, really excited to share is my new release! It hasn't released yet, it's still loading, but the editor's date is 9/1/2021! I've been working on a synopsis.
Three sisters brought together through foster care and bonded through tragedy to pick themselves up from their bootstraps after witnessing their mamas murder. Success came through struggles. Nia owns her own private practice, Black Mental Health Matters. Kuan-Yin is a social worker helping families through rough times by giving them the resources they need. Valentina is an event's manager at a neighborhood Recreation Center. Although these sisters are through their tragedies, they recognize everyone is not. The Box is a ritual that happens every third Friday. Each sister takes a name out of The Box. Whoever's name is chosen, life ends. They rid the world of predators, one at a time. Striving to prevent women from going through what they did and giving them an easier chance at survival. In between, careers, boyfriends, girlfriends and food, lots of food. There's The Sister Assassins: Vigilantes.
What y'all think? Let me know in the comments. The synopsis is literally harder to write than the book.
I am going to need beta's and ARC readers starting mid-September for the betas and release date of November 6th for the Launch team. You want first dips on this feel-good crime thriller with a twist? Sign up HERE.
