What have you been working on?

I started my book as a pandemic project & had an editor until things fell apart last Winter. By the way I’m still looking for an editor for my new book!! So if you know someone please contact me.

I’m pretty proud of my new project as it’s much more personal than my first book “Greylight” but in a different way. It’s prose, it’s poetry it’s a bit of everything.

I’m not going to disclose the subject matter until I have sent it off to a publisher. But it’s very on trend & very now.

When you think of the word “successful,” who’s the first person that comes to mind and why?

When I think of successful people I don’t think about holding down the 9-5 grind but people who do their passion in life. That could mean working 9-5 but doing something they love & don’t resent after 2 years.

I’m jealous of successful artists & writers that make money from what they love. It’s something I am inspired to do, live off my writing & not have to work at 9-5 grind to keep a roof over my head.

Being able to live your life creatively to the fullest is success to me. Being tied down by the 9-5 grind is something I was once inspired to do, but not anymore. Now, it’s focusing on my next book & finding a part-time gig to help the hubby.

Being successful means living your life to the creatively fullest & not just clocking in/out of work.

What makes a good neighbor?

A good neighbor is someone who’s considerate & who knows you well enough to ask when something is wrong. They’re not nosy or gossipy but kind in a real way & not the fake I know all.

Anyway, I think a good neighbor is someone who welcomes you back if you’ve been gone a long time. Asks you how you’re doing & is genuine.

I think a good neighbor is like a good barista or café owner. If you know them & they know you it’s easy banter & when they’re concerned they show it.

Being kind isn’t difficult but I think too many people think that it is. I genuinely give a damn about our kind neighbors. Not the people that behaved badly for years on end.

What kind of neighbor are you?
