It’s time to move on
To do more important things
It’s been lots of fun
As a retired author
I will get to hike lots more!
Daily Prompt: Don’t You Forget About Me
From Mama: Hi everyone and efurryone! Ku has decided to semi-retire from being a writer and blogger. It has been lots of fun, and we will visit all of you once in a while because you have given us so many smiles and giggles. We thank you all for the joy you and your pets have filled in our hearts. Ku wants to have more time to go hiking, and we are all ready for new adventures.
Ku’s and his sisfur Swami Zoe’s books will still be available for purchase to support animal rescue, and the blogs will remain as websites. I spent a good 6 months working to promote them here and in many other ways, and have learned more than I could have imagined about self-publishing (I have other books too, click here), marketing, etc. and especially what does not work. However, the time I have to work to earn money is very limited (as in needing a very flexible or work-at-home schedule) given that I am helping care for my mother, who has Alzheimer’s among other mental issues, and the house. I have here and there found some freelance work (though no one seems to want to pay writers much, if anything).
I have much bigger book projects that I am working on, that are much better candidates for publishers, and am now focusing on building my spiritual counseling/life coaching/healing practice. Both of these things, writing and helping others, is my passion and my greatest skills, and they need as much time as I can give to them now. I will still be around the blogosphere as my main blog, Through the Peacock’s Eyes, is the online aspect of all that I have been building over the the past year plus.

From Ku: Efurrybuddy, please don’t forget about me, I won’t forget you! I will beg ask Mama clicky-fingers secretary nicely to visit your bloggies from time to time. It’s been lots of fun, but time fur new adventures! Much wuvwuvwuv and woooohooooowooooooooooo! xoxoxo, Kuruk Babybear
p.s. I will occasionally compose a Haiku in my semi-retirement, just not efurryday! Woooowoooooo! 🙂
Beautiful tails –happy hiking ♥
You are forever in my heart ♥

That is so sad. These things all take a lot of time. I know my book isn’t a best seller or anything and I tried to promote the heck out of it. There is a reason they joke about starving authors. Best of luck to you and hope to see you in Blogville now and then.

We have made tons of friends, through blogging, like yourself. We will miss you and we hope whatever the future brings, it’s all happiness. If you want me to promote your book, just email me.

There once was a poet named Ku
who could compose a killer Haiku.
He was always inspired
and now he’s retired
without him, what will we all do?
Love ya, buddy! I’m gonna follow Mama’s blog. Maybe she can read my cards sometime.
Oh My Dog Dear Oz
You are so very cooowooool
Maybe a guest post?
Mama is a furry furry good card reader. She’s read fur me, and I can say, quite accurate! 🙂
Ku, you are welcome to guest post on my blog whenever you want. You have my email and know where to reach me. I may just email your mama for a card reading for me (since you say she can read for doggies)! Woooo, buddy!
