WordPress Anniversary: 5 Years!

Hey, guys. I’m coming to you with a long overdue update on life, The Paxton Legacy, and what the future holds. Sorry I took so long to write this. I feel like a broken record for apologizing so much, but life got in the way and before I knew it four months had passed since my last post. More on that in a little bit though!

As you can see from the title of this update, my five year anniversary on WordPress was on Monday! I joined WordPress five years ago not only so that I could read and comment on the stories I enjoyed, but so that I could also start a story of my own. The Shores of Our Souls was my baby, and I miss it! The Paxton Legacy is my reboot of that story, and I wish I had more time for it. It is really near and dear to my heart, and I think about it a lot and how I want to write it. I already have ideas in my head for each generation up to Gen. 5, and I hope you get to read them one day. I wish I had something to post along with that like a new chapter, pictures, or anything, but hopefully I can get something out for you guys soon. I guess that leads me into what I’ve been up to for the past four months.

My personal life is chaotic right now. I started taking online classes this semester, and I was seriously overconfident in my ability to take on six classes at once. I’m making all A’s (for now), but that takes up pretty much all of my non-existent free time. The rest of my time is spent taking care of my almost two year old, and performing my stay at home mom duties. And the cherry on top, I am currently 10 weeks pregnant with baby #2. Surprise! 🙂 Lol, so if all of that wasn’t enough now I get to deal with doctors appointments, pregnancy exhaustion, nausea, and food aversions.

The Paxton Legacy has been on an unannounced hiatus for awhile now, and that will most likely continue until I’m done with this semester in early December. I am always hopeful that inspiration will strike and pull me out of this writing slump, and that I will get a little extra time to at least open my game. But if not, I’m shooting for my return to be in mid to late December, possibly after the New Year depending on how crazy the holidays get this year. Thank you to the very few people who are even taking time out of their day to read this and for being so incredibly patient with me. I’ve been trying to catch up in reader, so you should be seeing my name pop up in your notifications again shortly. ♥

    I realise I’m totally late to the party but I fancied a read of something and realised I read the first part of your story last year. I was thinking about it recently and couldn’t for the life of me remember where I’d seen it, so I’m so glad to have come across it again! I must have unfollowed between chapters, for which I apologise for! I know it’s on hiatus but I super enjoyed catching up. Your pictures are gorgeous and your writing is so so good. The story itself is juicy. I hope you get time to get back into it at some point in the future! And congrats, of course, on all things going well in your life ❤

      I’m so glad you enjoyed it! I’m sorry there wasn’t more for you to read lol. Thank you for the wonderful compliments. ❤ Your story is one I have had on my list to read for awhile once I have the time. I’m hoping I can start posting again soon, but with midterms this week and everything else going on I’ve been busier than usual! I’m taking next semester off since I’m due in April, so I should have plenty of time after this semester is over to work on the legacy. Thank you! 😊

        Well I have summaries for every generation up on my archive page and I’m just starting generation 4 now so it’s a good time to step in! Sometimes it’s so overwhelming when there’s so many chapters to catch up on X_X
        I look forward to it! Good luck with your midterms 🙂

    Congratulations on 5 years! Wow! That is fantastic! And, congratulations on all A’s in school! I went back to school while I was a SAHM and two little children. It’s hard, but it can be done. ❤

    Most importantly, congratulations on your new baby. ❤ ❤ I'm so happy for you.

      Thank you! 😊 It has been harder than I thought, but I know it will be worth it when I’m able to graduate! Hoping to have more time for it after finals in December, but we will see. 🤞🏼
