I hinted a few weeks ago that I was getting a new job and, now that everything is official, I feel like I can talk about it publicly. After nearly six months of talking it over, I am joining the family business. I start training on Monday morning and will be helping out part-time with the bookkeeping and building/managing our online presence. It has the potential to turn into a full-time position in the next few years, but until then I’ll also continue to work part-time at the office I’ve been with for 5 years. I’m really, really excited about the opportunities to learn and grow, both through diverse experiences and continued education courses, as well as the opportunity to help continue the legacy of the oldest business in my hometown.
What does that mean for this blog and the affiliated Twitter account? My work schedule is going to be pretty touch and go for a while until we get everything dialed in, so my presence online will operate in the same way for a while. At this point, I have recs for the blog created through the middle of November and just have to queue them up. I’ll be on Twitter, continuing to fight to #SaveShadowhunters, as much as I possibly can but my time is going to become more limited as I adjust to this major change. I’m not leaving, I just won’t be here as often as I have been. Thank you in advance for your patience and understanding as I begin and adjust to a new chapter in my life! 😊

EVENTS
The blog returned from a 3-month #SaveShadowhunters hiatus on September 1st by kicking off the Back to Hogwarts Event, during which Wizarding World crossovers celebrated the day that students return to Hogwarts. It resulted in the posting of 4 fic recs.
The first three installations of the You Pick the Tag Event took place on Fridays throughout the month. As decided by votes submitted by the blog’s followers, they included fic recs that featured Arranged Marriage, Crime, and Enemies to Lovers. It has resulted in the posting of 10 fic recs of varying genre and length so far.
Alec’s Birthday Celebration took place on September 12th and resulted in the posting of 5 fic recs.
The first day of fall on September 22nd was celebrated with the Autumn in New York Event and resulted in the posting of 2 fic recs.
MISCELLANEOUS
The blog surpassed 1,500 followers this month. Thank you all so much for your continued support!
I know that I’ve been MIA for the past week and I apologize for that. I’m still very much heavily involved in the #SaveShadowhunters campaign and have a few time-sensitive projects that I’m working on and, as I have a few things going on behind-the-scenes professionally, I need to finish those as soon as possible.
It looks like I’ll be starting another part-time job in the near future and that is going to limit the amount of time I’m able to post. I’m not going anywhere, I’m not giving up on the blog (or #SaveShadowhunters), but the amount of time I’ll be spending online will have to decrease in order to focus on my professional success. I’ll talk more about that here once I get the all-clear, but I’m really excited about this new chapter.
That being said, things are going to still be touch and go for while longer, at least until I get everything sorted out, get settled in, and find a revised balance between my personal and professional lives. I can only ask for your understanding as I work all of this out.
In the immediate future:
Thank you in advance for your patience and understanding.
