Something Different

short and sweet

I want to brag. In short, this isn’t the typical monthly health and wellness-related educational article that I produce on my other LinkedIn account, which I perform as a massage professional.

What do I want to brag about?

I wrote a book.

A book of poems.

I am also an Indie Author.

And well, since you are a huge part of my community, I thought I would share that with you. Writing has been a lifelong hobby that has led to an Associate’s of Fine Arts degree, and then to me being a current English major. Side note: Being an English major is really writing five-paragraph essays rather than having fun exploring writing, like I was during the Associate’s portion of things.

I am also sharing this with you because you have shown interest in reading my articles here, so I thought I should show you what else I enjoy writing. Yes, keeping abreast of current health and wellness is the avenue I want to go down, but I need to have fun, let my hair down on occasion, and feel emotion. Okay, you know my hair is short, but you get the idea. :)

I decided to make my work accessible. My book is available on Amazon, and I would love for you to give me feedback on what you think. With me being published, I am building my Substack brand, and well, my web presence in a different way through Instagram. (Yes, I finally found my niche with that app.) Both addresses are @amusedandcreatively

The poems themselves are more like short stories that look like poems. I am a self-taught poet. The previously mentioned two-year degree entailed me learning how to workshop poetry and not actually learning how to write it. I adopted what I liked, and in that mimicking, I found a theme and wrote. I would love your feedback on Amazon if and when you purchase the item. And for those yoga studios, bookstores, and coffee shops that I love spending endless hours in when I am not massaging the book is also on IngramSpark for bulk purchases.

Thank you for your continuous support,

Melissa
