Last year marked a significant shift for me. I've deactivated my Facebook account and am taking a hiatus from other social media platforms I'm part of. Additionally, I've launched a new one-page website at toryrichards.net, featuring curated information and a weekly blog – do check it out!
Sadly, by leaving a costly website server, I've lost approximately 8,000 newsletter subscribers. I've sent out messages asking anyone who wishes to stay on my contact list to email me at toryrichards60@gmail.com with "yes" in the subject line.
I used to say that if writing became my profession, I'd never write another word, as it's always been my passion and a cherished hobby. However, it dawned on me that all the hours I dedicated to social media, my website, newsletters, and promoting my books had transformed it into a job. I haven't produced any substantial writing since early 2025. I'm optimistic that reducing my online activity will reignite my creative spark. I genuinely want to write and have three projects in mind, two of which are part of a series. But until I can achieve the right mindset, I can't force the words.
Moving forward, my intention is to prioritize writing, which naturally means a reduced online presence.
