It’s been awhile….
Hey there! It’s been a minute, hasn’t it?
I just wanted to drop in and let you all know what has been going on, and some of the changes being made at So Beautifully Broken.
There is a bit of a re-brand going on, I’m sure you’ve seen a few changes on the website and socials media accounts.
The biggest, and probably most alarming, is that I’ve decided to step back from Jewelry. It was not an easy choice, as jewelry has been my entire life for well over fifteen years. I still have some items listed on the website and I will be dropping into the group periodically with a sale. AND I’m sure I’ll get a wild idea and have to drop everything and make that come into existence, but as of right now the jewelry side of So Beautifully Broken will be on pause. As far as the shop, I will still have all of our nerdy and bookish tee’s available!
The reason for this, you ask?
I have always wanted to write.
I have a list of book ideas that has been ongoing for a decade. Last fall, I had a dream. I thought, “That would make a great book.” So I added it to my list and moved on. Or I tried to. I couldn’t let it go.
So when we got back form Italy in early October, I sat down and started writing.
Five weeks later I had 131,000 words and a really rough first draft. It was a very emotional experience, the finishing of it. I’m tearing up write now just typing this out.
I took a much needed break from it over the holidays, then after our annual March girls trip, I picked it back up.
In April, I started editing, AS WELL AS drafting and writing BOOK TWO in the trilogy. After many, MANY, rounds of editing, not only by me but several very good friends —who well get an entire dedication page if this series ever makes it to publication— I sent BOOK ONE off to beta readers last week.
The plan, DREAM, is to start querying literary agents in an attempt to get traditionally published.
I would love for you to continue on this journey with me, though the path is different, the creativity is very much still me and everything So Beautifully Broken has represented over the last seventeen years.
