A New Journey

Where does the time go? The last time I posted on my blog was in March! That's over five months ago. But I have a good excuse. I've had some health concerns, which now limits time spent on the computer. This puts limitations on writing new stories. I'm not sure if I'll be able to write another book. Though I'm not saying I will never write again as Redford Falls still has more stories to come from that little town. I'm thinking maybe short novellas. I also have three books where the rights are due for my choice to renew or request back. I am leaning toward requesting my rights back and perhaps self-publish them. However, all of that is sitting on the backburner for rest of the year.

I have been busy letting my creative mind run free, and I'm enjoying every single minute of it. It's great when you rediscover something that brought you joy and still does...maybe even more. I am designing a line of greeting cards, invitations, and prints. This little guy started it all.

I saw a picture of a mushroom and decided to draw one of my own. Meet Merlin the Mushroom. He was so much fun to draw and bring to life in colour. Over the past few months, I've been designing new pieces as well as obtaining licenses of images to create my own art work. In a few days, I'll opened my online shop "Designs by Darlene Fredette" where you can purchase my greeting cards. I'm beyond excited for the grand opening!

If you've visited my blog before, you'll notice some changes. My blog will still focus on my writing, but it will spotlight a lot more of my art. I was going to create a new blog, but I opened "Finding The Write Words" back in 2013, so there's a lot of history here. I deleted a lot of older posts and kept a lot of my favourite posts, such as my book posts, book reviews I've done, and some art work I've shared. Everything else was deleted to give my blog a fresh start as a new journey begins.

Be sure to visit often because this is where you will get the first look at some of my art designs before anyone else. I'll also be doing giveaways which will only be held here.

It's good to be back!
