    I got ART!

    I know I haven't done a blog in awhile, but being a full-time single parent working a full-time job, and a part-time writer tends to really chew into the hours I have in a week. That said, I just had to carve out a little time to show off the remarkable gift I was given from Lady Lightning Strike by way of the amazingly talented artist Pridark.

    Commissions!

    Yeah, been awhile since I've written any sort of blog post, but I do have some good news. I'm re-opening to commissions! My patrons on Patreon will get priority for their commissions first, but it doesn't mean that everyone else can't ask for some stories either. Here are my commission conditions:

    So... a small heads up about the upcoming month...

    I'm about to start writing the final chapter or two of the Brightly Lit saga, after which time I'm actually going to be going on vacation for a week. As in actual time off from my job and all other responsibilities. Which means no Twilight Learned this month, and perhaps not next month either as I reassess things in the wake of the end of writing roughly 350,000 words on one pair of stories set

    So... a bit of a heads up

    Over the past few years I've engaged in a practice of letting my patrons on Patreon decide what story I should update following the Brightly Lit update in the month, and I've noticed a bit of a pattern. Mainly that anytime "How Twilight Learned" comes up in the voting it easily wins. So recently I asked my patrons if they would like me to just concentrate on Brightly Lit and HTL until one of

    State of the Pen

    It's been 10 days since my brother died and 6 since we laid him to rest at the foot of a willow tree near a shady stream. I find myself both functional and numb. I can act, react, and do things, but anything beyond the basics is like trying to push fog with your hands. Something happens but not much. I find myself staring at a computer screen and feeling... nothing.

Short hiatus · 5:05am Feb 26th, 2020

Just dashing off a quick note here.

I'm having to take a short hiatus from writing. I hurt my back at work by cranking a power jack around tight corners for 2 hours straight. Now, normally that wouldn't affect my writing because I could just sit at my desk and write. The problem is the meds they gave knock me out on my ass all day long. I'm literally getting home, taking my meds and sleeping almost until it's time to get up for work again.

I'm expected to heal up inside of a week. I sure hope so.

no worries, life and your health comes first.

Do take good care of yourself!

Take all the time you need, back strain is no joke.

When I mentioned this to my husband (who also has a bad back), he said cranking a powerjack around tight corners is known as a 'mysterious stranger'. I have no idea what he is talking about.

get well soon! may your recovery be swift.

Health first, story later. Especially your back, that's kind of an important part of your body.

To be honest, neither do I. The only mysterious stranger I know of is from Fallout

Being hurt sucks, so I hope you feel better soon.

Gotta take care of yourself before you can do anything else. Good luck!
