In 2023, My Purple Passion Work Vibrated and Rocked Me Forward
For 2023, I painted purple passion into my themes and products. The energy of it keeps me creating more.
With a busy schedule and at the year’s end, I have focused on resolving some health issues. As they settle down, I’ll be headed to Austin for a holiday with family and friends.
Travel was a theme for this year. Mr. J. and I took our first big trip since the Covid pandemic. We explored Europe on a river cruise from Budapest to Amsterdam, and it was delightful. I enjoyed several months in North Carolina, the Piedmont, and the mountains. Travel always adds writing creativity, and this year was no different.
Thank you for choosing to be on my journey this year. Your words, kind gifts, and your patronage touch my heart.
Here’s a look back at five areas that celebrate purple passion in my year-end review
Rosy
Working at Rosy is an absolute delight. The most extraordinary writers surround me. I edited forty stories this year, which were published in print and audio.
This is the first year we have had a monthly Rosy Authors Meeting. We’ve created a community with outstanding support. If you are an erotica author and are interested in a writing home, please check out Rosy.
