37: Wow, Jess. You took a long time to write a blog

Well, well, well. Look who is finally back to writing her blog. If it isn’t Jessica Graue.

Yes, it is. I know it has been quite a while since my last blog, and I have been kicking myself for many months trying to get my butt back into gear. As many know, it’s been difficult the last couple years. I have been sick and had to have a major surgery. Those are my main excuses that I am sticking with.

>>>>>DIARY: I turned 40 and got a new bike, so watch out motorists!

Working a second and third job at Dayton Daily News for the past year has been a lot. I’ve been editing lifestyle stories and budgeting the Wheels section. Yes, that would be a section about automobiles. I have also been working in digital on the weekends and have now begun to take on freelance writing. Some of my editing duties have died down, so I feel a little relieved.

I will soon write a blog about my upcoming shows. I am happy to say I have three on the books for this year and things are looking optimistic for other shows to be added.

It’s been a hectic last couple of months, but I know if I don’t continue to write, things will be worse. I need to get words on paper, even if it’s only five paragraphs. I plan to write a blog about how 2022 has blown up already and why this is the year I finally set myself on fire.

There’s so much more to come. Stay tuned.
