Widowhood in 100 Words: Traveling Alone

When Jason died, I knew I had to learn to do certain things alone.

So I went to Italy by myself.

Okay, that’s an oversimplification. I signed up for an Italian writing retreat with plenty of other people.

Audiobook listeners!!

Who wants a promo code for the new release of Holes In The Somewhere on Audible?

It's a collection of speculative fiction short stories, read by such favorites as @CBethAnderson and @SirArminius , among others!

All I ask in return is a rating. If you're inspired and inclined to do so, a review would also be much appreciated (even if you imagine some kind of flaw with it!). In fact, please let the narrators know what an incredible job they did making my writing sound so great!!

Let me know in the comments if you're interested. Or you can pre-order for the Halloween release...or just wait until Halloween. You have so many options!!!

Open to Hope, a grief support nonprofit, invited me to write articles for their site. Here’s my first! Would love to hear what you think of it.

But it boosted my confidence to realize how great my own company is.

But I spent two days in Naples, alone, before the retreat started.

And … I loved it.

I ate where I wanted, walked at my own pace, drank wine and my very first Aperol Spritz all by myself.

Do I want all my traveling to be alone? Absolutely not.

@Authenticbekah Thank you!

Grief is like a fitted sheet.

I’m loving working on this short story collection by Evan Grant! Just dark and spooky enough (without being ultra gory). I’ll be doing some of this narration live on IG, so be on the lookout! This is SUCH a fun horror collection.

[Carol Beth Anderson (goes by Beth) @CBethAnderson]

I’m finding so much joy in my creative work again, which I know would make you happy.

We love you and always will. We miss you and always will, until we get to see you again.

18 months ago today, it was a lovely Sunday, and it turned out to be the last day of a beautiful, too-short life.

Jason, we’re doing well! Both kids are about to start their college classes. They’re excelling, of course.

@AcCargill *the trad route

[Carol Beth Anderson (goes by Beth) @CBethAnderson]

HOLY CRAP I just submitted my first agent query ever. #QueryTrenches

[Carol Beth Anderson (goes by Beth) @CBethAnderson]

@AcCargill Sigh. I’ve published over 10 books without an agent. Decided I want to try to read route with my memoir. About my husband getting cancer and dying, BTW

[Carol Beth Anderson (goes by Beth) @CBethAnderson]

@descolada99 Oh I definitely know! I also know that since it’s such an incredibly tough road, it’s important to celebrate the little victories along the way.
