Me Monday, music & more
It’s hard to establish a new identity, but it’s also difficult to say goodbye to the old one. So I kept both and for a while I almost tore myself in half. On the plus side, quite a few readers had expressed interest in reading In Another Time the book I finished in Nanowrimo challenge back in 2020.
As for my blog… well, I’ve been playing AWOL for a long time now, and the longer it goes, the more I feel bad for missing on things, and that makes me want to stay absent. It’s a toxic cycle.
Covid lockdowns really did a number on me. I’m back in Spain now and working hard to build an online presence in mostly focusing on Instagram as Jessie Winterspring.
“Me Monday” is the day I save to talk about myself outside of books and reading.
But the months have been lonely without the blogging community.
I’m making no promises, but I think I’m back! Haha 😀
So here’s one of my favorite from the 80s.
Let’s chat <3 later because before that, I’ll go to sleep. Goodnight!

Jessica E. Larsen
I went to Sweden with my son back in 2019 and got stuck there due to Covid lockdowns. It took a lot of courage for me to return to Spain for the same reason.
