65 Titles

Amazon tells me I now have 65 titles on my Amazon Author's page.  I admit I lose count.   These 65 publication titles include paperback, kindle, and audiobook formats.

I began creative writing 17 years ago so, as you can see, I've been busy,

This summer of 2024 I've set my goal of cutting back on many activities.  I'm also being kept busy with downsizing in my home.   To simplify my life is my aim.

And the reason I want to simplify and minimize everything is because I have decided that commencing September I'm going to take my best shot at writing the Great Canadian Novel.

What this means is that August, which has already gifted me with six days, is the only time I have to complete my current work in progress which is titled POartRY and PROSE the THIRD.    The art & photography are  complete but I have yet to begin the poetry and prose.   Giving myself only three weeks to complete is why I need to ensure there are few outside distractions.

I love creative writing.  I appreciate my readers so much.  My September publication will be titled  ALMOST TIME TO LEAVE.

I hope, once written, you will want to read it but, in the meantime, thanks for checking out those other 65 titles on Amazon.  You will find them all on my  Amazon Author's Page at https://amazon.com/author/audreyaustin

a Time for Change

I've enjoyed working part-time  as counselor/therapist, but on Thursday I gave my last client my best wishes and now I announce I am fully retired.  Being retired, I decided to get to work.

I spent Sunday cleaning out and shredding a lot of stuff in my filing cabinet - keeping only personal and creative writing materials.   

Today, I've been busy cleaning out my storage room; getting rid of stuff I've held onto for years but rarely or never used.   Tomorrow I start on my linen cupboard - too much stuff.  And that reminds me to remind you to check out my short story, "The Linen Cupboard" available on Kindle.

I've always dreamed of living in a Zen environment, but I've never achieved it - trying again.

With pleasure I have handed over the leadership of Elliot Lake Writers to a very talented young writer.  My goal is to free up my time and to create a lifestyle with no 'have-to's'.

I just want to paint, to write, to spend time with family and friends - that's it.  That is enough.

I hope I can meet this goal.  I've spent half my time getting into things, and the other half trying to get out of them.

It's time for a change.

One thing that will not change is my passion for creative writing and I've done my fair share of it.

Thanks for checking out my publications on my Amazon Author's page.  It's found at https://amazon.com/author/audreyaustin
