My Life is Going to Change

I don't usually divulge personal information in my blog, as I prefer to keep my life outside of writing private. But in the last few weeks, there have been developments that will affect all aspects of my life, including my writing, so I thought I'd talk a little about them here.

My wife and I have been trying to have children for years now, and were recently blessed with the news that not only is she pregnant, but we're having twins. It's hard to describe all of my feelings right now. Excited. Humbled. Terrified. I'm still struggling to process the emotions fighting for dominance within me as I consider what the future will be.

One thing is clear. I will need to increase my efforts to provide for my growing family. At this point, I'm still not sure what that change will specifically look like. Most likely, I'll have to get an additional job that may or may not be related to the world of writing.

Regardless, my wife and I have agreed that I will continue to write, though the time dedicated to my craft may be limited. My hope is that book sales, speaker fees, and my online courses will one day allow me to focus exclusively on my passions while working, but I accept that -in the short-term at least- I will need to act responsibly for the welfare of those that I care about the most.

As a final note, I want to assure my fans that the book tour will still happen, and the release of Into the North will continue as planned.
