Who is Shai?

Who is Shai?

Hell, I’m in my forties and sometimes I don’t know the answer to that. The Shifter Bachelor was published Halloween 2018 and even a year and a half later - I still don’t feel like a “real” writer - even with several other books under my belt.

I get around both physically and mentally, I move around the country a lot. I job hop like I get paid for it (Ha). Monotony is my worst enemy, doing the same thing over and over again is the absolute definition of insanity to be, and so is showing up to the same coworkers who greet you the same way, and tell you the same stories while you sit in the exact same spot doing the exact same thing. For others that’s fine but for me its a slow death.

The thing that has always centered me, distracted me, kept me from falling too far down the sadness hole or from dying under the monotony of life has been my one true and first love and probably longest running relationship - reading.

One of the things about being a life long voracious reader is that you love words and the images they paint. You ruminate on a story far too long, then if you’re Type A+++ like me, you try to improve on it. Then eventually, you want to paint your own images with words. One day you feel your ready and then you start and instantly regret it. Because let me tell you writing and being a writer are majorly different things and both are some of the hardest things I’ve ever done.

I used to blog steadily, daily about my struggles, being a single mother of an ADHD child while dating, later my personal finances, then just random shit.

This blog is about my new adventures as a writer/author/publisher, but I don’t have a mission statement and I’m sure personal crap will eventually migrate here because my filter has broken.
