December Update(s)

I’m writing this a little early. November 20th… Seems weird to be writing a post for December this early for updates, but I’m not sure what my time will be like coming up.

Work is going. Life has been beyond interesting and I’m starting to wish it was at least a LITTLE more dull some days at home. Work is dull enough. We have times where it’s chaotically busy, but most of the time it’s slow. I’m not used to that pacing. Not at all. The hours are long enough that I don’t have much time at home to do anything other than help with dinner, shower, and go to bed. After I finish up this post I’m going to go back to prepping posts for next year. I’ve got poems ready and set for drafting/scheduling, so I’m a mix of excited and grateful for that.

But I did realize today while doing this that I’ve missed posting the poems on Instagram and Facebook for I’m not sure how long so I’m going to have to check on those and play catch up which is not going to be *any* fun for me.

December or January updates usually contain something important for me. My list of 3-5 things I want to do or accomplish for the coming year. I have four (4) things currently on my list. Most of it is nothing overly special, but one thing is something I’m keeping secret for the time being and will share at a later date.

Secret thingRead at least 50 booksthis could increase as I usually read somewhere around 150-200, but with the new job I don’t know what my time will be like or what I’ll be able to do/read.Get back to some sort of writing scheduleImprove my health

Right now I’m just trying to focus on staying safe and keeping track of the colds and flus going around. Stay safe everyone. Stay healthy. And if you are sick, be mindful of those around you if you’re going to a family gathering or public event. Don’t get someone else sick just because you want to see people. Phone calls exist. Pictures and video exist.

Peace for now all.

November Update(s)

Hey all…

I don’t really have anything new to share, surprisingly. Life has been busy, but it’s nothing writing related and the busy is just life in general. I’m still settling into a new routine of sorts and it’s getting a little easier, but also feeling harder at the same time.

I wanted to have a new book out before now, but sadly that didn’t happen. And I struggled with that for some time. I was angry about it. I was sad about it. I felt let down by it because it wasn’t my end that fell through. It was a part I’m still waiting on from someone important to me for a major part of the book. So it’ll get released when I can get that person to get that part done.

I’m slowly feeling more like myself off and on. Depends on the day. Some days are harder than others and some days are better. Some days I struggle…

But even on the days I struggle I have someone in my corner who does his best to support me. Someone who, even when I fight with him or when he sees me breaking down and crying my eyes out (be it loudly or silently) loves me. Someone who also knows that when he’s at his lowest I’m there for him. That even when he’s fighting me I’m still going to support him. We have had arguments, but that’s also part of living together and dealing with things we’re dealing with.

Maybe I’ll have an update at some point before December other than the scheduled poem, but who knows. Life has a way of getting away from us, doesn’t it?

Stay safe everyone. Peace for now.

October Update(s)

Hey all…

The biggest update I can give is that I’m tempted to pull my hair out. Partly because my hair is too long for me right now. Partly because I’m just exhausted with a lot of stuff I’m trying to get done at the moment.

My mom is dealing with some stuff and I’m trying to work on books aside form reading like mad and working what feels like all the time. My new job is every weekend, and the days I work are all open to close. It’s exhausting trying to adjust to this schedule. The only real upside is I feel like I’m sleeping better and I’m spending more time with fiance. This is just a really small update here before I get back to working on some edits and writing. Hopefully I can make some real progress on something and then make major headway with something else.

Peace for now all. Be safe. Expect a post about AI coming at some point soon. Maybe for in the November update… Or maybe an extra post. I don’t know yet. We’ll see what I decide on.

Dreamless – Poem

September Update(s)

So! There’s been a LOT that’s happened since my last update. And yes, I’m well aware that this post is coming late. Trust me, it’s not because I’ve been lazy. I’ve been anything BUT lazy this last month…

Within the last month I’ve done a LOT of traveling. For those of you who haven’t known, my partner/fiance/significant other/whatever you wish to call him, has lived about 2 hours away from me. Once a month I’d be making that trip to go and see him. Sometimes we’d get lucky and I’d be able to make it out two times in a month. Sometimes we’d have a holiday or I’d use a vacation or personal day and we’d even have an extended amount of time together.

Back in February we celebrated 5 years together. I started doing a lot of heavy thinking and that thinking was hard on my heart. I started thinking about leaving my day job and moving in with Vitca/D (nickname/short name for some anonymity).

To make a long story a whole lot shorter, I’ve moved in with him. It’s been a long process and it’s still in process. I don’t know right now what this means as far as my writing and the books I’m releasing in October and February. HOPEFULLY it means I’ll have more time to focus on them and get OTHER books out. Maybe some fiction… Who knows! I’ve got a lot on my plate and a lot that’s still going on right now. A lot of stuff to unpack (Vitca is likely NOT looking forward to that) and a lot that’s still changing. Wish me luck, everyone. Peace for now.
