This is my first time participating in one of these WordPress writing prompts. When I saw this one, I felt it would be the perfect one to start with.

What am I working on? In two words: A LOT!

While I can’t disclose everything, the things I am bursting to share are the most relevant to this blog/brand.

  1. Creating new products for my Etsy shop.
  2. Consistently updating my story, The Ebony Alpha.
  3. Restart updating my story, What The Puck!?
  4. I am working on a new coloring book to follow my current one: The Office Black Girl Coloring Book.

I am excited and a little stressed. Despite being a short list, it is a lot of work and doesn’t even include the things I am working on outside of The Office Black Girl brand. But I told myself, no more excuses. I am going to push through and finish 2023 stronger than ever.

So….

What have you been working on?

The last two weeks have not gone quite how I expected. Despite feeling like a Mack truck has run me over every morning, I am actually in a really good head space.

I just wanted to give a quick update as I finally start to recover from the craziness that has been the last two weeks…

  1. My small business was given an opportunity for a new venture. Unfortunately, the timeline was right in the midst of a big work event, and I underestimated how long it would take. BUT…..I pushed through and got it done, and I think the client was really happy. Plus, it has given me a new fire for my business, which was slowly dying to glowing embers.
  2. I got a raise at work and my own office. My boss is at retirement age, but she is pretty much the owner of the company’s right-hand (wo)man. I feel like she is doing all she can to make sure I don’t quit. I don’t necessarily want her job (at least not all of it; she wears too many hats), but if my business doesn’t blow up…I wouldn’t be surprised if I was named her successor.
  3. My job has a yearly event that is almost two weeks long. I really wanted to update The Ebony Alpha, but between the crazy work schedule and my business project, I couldn’t muster enough brain cells to push through and put out anything good. But I am determined to get a few updates this week.
  4. Lastly, I finally launched The Office Black Girl Coloring Book last month. The paperback is available on Amazon and the digital download is available on Etsy. As of today, I have sold 27 paperbacks and 20 digital downloads. That may seem small to some, but I know how hard it is to get noticed online for anything, so I am soooooo grateful for the orders. If you happen to purchase one, I would greatly appreciate it if you could leave a review (especially a picture one on Amazon ;-)). Gotta compete with the algorithm.

The chaos is calming down at work, but my creative juices are returning. So I am excited to get back into writing and maybe creating another coloring book.

Thank you for all of the new followers and the engagement I have received for The Office Black Girl on various platforms. It honestly means so much.

Here’s to October being an amazing month!
