PS You guys. Help me out? Help SAVE THE WORLD?

Please, if you liked one of my books, pop over to Amazon and leave a review!

Why reviews are important: They’re considered in promotional things I apply for, which help me find a way to keep writing because I can sell more books and not have to go be a lawyer again. DOES THE WORLD NEED ANOTHER LAWYER? NO, IT DOES NOT.

By reviewing my books, YOU’RE HELPING SAVE THE WORLD.

ACIMH*: The “My family is annoying” Christmas edition…

December 19, 2017 by Alyssa Day Leave a Comment

We’re in the car, heading to the Japanese steakhouse to celebrate book release and kids’ college grades, and I’m playing Christmas carols.

Princess: Oh, good one, Frosty. Let’s sing about our impending death. “Hey, kids, want to learn about death? We can have a good time, but not for a long time, cause, you know, melting.”

Me: *growling* STOP. We’re going to get in the Christmas spirit.

College Ninja: Right, Mom! We can watch a Christmas movie!

Me: See? Connor gets it–

College Ninja:: DIE HARD.

Me: NO, NO, NO, NO. Not bullets. Not dead people. Christmas magic.

Friday Mental Health Check In: on being overwhelmed…

December 1, 2017 by Alyssa Day 2 Comments

Today I want to talk about one of the worst words in the world: OVERWHELMED.

Overwhelmed is the feeling that crushes me into the black pit more than almost

anything else. When I get overwhelmed—with what I need to do, with everything I need to be, in order not to

let anyone down, with all the daily and weekly and monthly and yearly tasks involved in being a writer and a mother and a wife and a pet owner and a citizen of my community/city/state/country/world…I start to fall apart.

It’s hard to admit this stuff. I often feel like a total failure, or the biggest loser in the world, when I write these posts for public consumption. But my personal goal in life is to combat the stigma attached to mental illness. Or, to put it a different way:

I get to feel like a loser so you don’t have to!! ????

But here’s the thing that finally became clear to me and saved me from giving up completely:

We only have to do one thing at a time.

I have this great task management software, www.Todoist.com, that I really like. I break up my work into projects, and only look at one project at a time. But only this week, I discovered that in tiny print at the top of the page is a counter of your TOTAL TOTAL projects.

Or, as I saw and nearly went into cardiac arrest, the fact that I have 2,123 things on my To Do list.

And that’s only my WORK to do list.

It was enough to knock me back in my chair. Just last year, it would have been enough to knock me back in my black pit.

But here’s the thing: I can do All The Things, or at least the IMPORTANT ones, if I just focus on one at a time.

I had lunch with a friend today who is wonderful and warm and funny and smart. And she’s considering indie publishing but has been trapped in the same mindset of “I’m so stupid, why didn’t I start this before?” where I was a year ago. So I said to her:

YES. We should have started this mammoth project earlier. But you know what? We don’t want to be having this same conversation in 2020. Instead, when we get to 2020 we can look back and pat ourselves on the back for starting now.

It’s about taking the long view. Sometimes the loooooooooooooong view. Because those 2,123 things? They won’t do themselves. But guess what? Now I’m down to 2,122.

PROGRESS!!!

And next week I’m going to talk about getting help, because – SHOCKINGLY!! – we don’t have to do it all ourselves.

Hugs,

Alyssa

PS Please feel free to share with anyone who suffers with mental health issues. We’re all in this together.

Lines of a Day

Oh, poor Dare – he’s in trouble! From CHRISTMAS IN ATLANTIS, coming December 4:

Dare was pretty sure he was dead.

Or at least deep beneath the ocean and about to be dead. He tossed and turned, fighting the tempest of pain in his head and lungs. Fighting to break through the darkness surrounding him.

He had flashes of awareness – flashes of color and light. And each time the beautiful face of what must be an angel was right there looking down at him.

Individual words pierced the haze of his mind. Geometric shapes of language that stabbed him and prodded him with sharp edges but had no meaning to the chaos in his brain.

The hottest music video on the PLANET!!!

November 2, 2017 by Alyssa Day Leave a Comment

Possibly the hottest music video of all time–based on an original song about my books!! We filmed in several historical locations in and around St. Augustine, Florida–including a haunted jail! And our director, Johnny St. Ours, is super cool and has shown at the Cannes Film Festival!

Give it a listen, but beware: SUPER hot! Click HERE.
