It’s Like a Novel… But Shorter

Someone offered me adderall the other day and I’m starting to think I should have taken it. 

For legal reasons… that was a joke? I’ve never actually taken adderall but I’ve been told many times that I should be on it. 

Oh, what would my life be like if I was properly medicated?

It’s just me and my under-diagnosed mental illnesses against the world!

Moving on.

I’ve been writing up a storm lately but my attention has been all over the place and life has been throwing a lot at me lately (including, but not limited to, a fucking hurricane). I’m trying REALLY hard to have work/life balance and go out and do things while also trying to build a writing career while also working my job that actually pays the bills and… now I’m crying.

TO THE POINT JOSH!

On top of my many novels in progress, I’ve also been working on short stories and have been getting really into it. This all started when I wrote a post about my origin story as a writer (The Unhinged Ramblings of a Third Grader) and it got short stories stuck in my head.

And they wouldn’t leave.

So I started writing.

My plan, as of right now, is to release a collection of short stories in the near future made up of everything I’ve been working on.

I’ve also submitted a handful of them for consideration in upcoming anthologies (more on that soon!). 

I’m also considering sharing them here for anyone interested.

Maybe?

Listen, it’s 5am and I’m awake and writing this because the kitten woke me up and wouldn’t let me go back to sleep. So here I am rambling online while he has fallen to sleep playing with Lemon’s tail and at this point my alarm is about to go off so…

I’m going to order a breakfast sandwich from UberEats.
