Hunni Hound Books and Blog

What is it when you go all in on everything all at once, but the timing seems catastrophic? 

Whatever it is. I’m doing it. 

I’m still home with the tornados. We are on the mend but one of us (it’s the two year old) is definitely making her frustrations known. Often. And now, at a crazy wild time like this, while wiping a sticky something or other from the floor, I thought, “This is the perfect time to finally open that online store front.” Sure it is.

Maybe chaos inspires me or perhaps there are other reasons buzzing around my brain screaming do it already! Reasons that made it feel like this is a now or never situation. So I’m doing it. I’m having to stumble my way through. But it was time. Hunni Hound Books and Blog with a sweet little online gift shop is underway. Charlie is even helping design some products. It’s truly a family affair. 

I have sort of fallen into this new motto of life, “At least I’m taking the steps…” I may be overweight from having two babies in three years, but I’m taking the steps to get lighter. I may not have a paying gig, but I’m taking the steps to earn and get my foot in the door. You get the idea. 

I just keep thinking about my mom. Sitting in her closet clicking away on her typewriter. Dreaming of publishing a book. At least she was taking the steps. 

So here I go. Win or lose I am all in. Full tilt. I’ll write every damn day. I’ll throw my hat in every publishing ring I can. I’ll keep my little storefront going and I’ll do the damn thing. I’ll chase these dreams down if it kills me. And I’ll do it all during naptime.
