In September, I said that any book sales I made would go towards a donation to Breast Cancer research. After receiving those sales and then fighting being sick and stressed at work, I was finally able to make said donation of $60 to the American Cancer Society towards Breast Cancer.

2013 has been a long, heavy year. I’ve spent literally most of December sick. My mom died. I’ve been battling depression. The last couple of months have seen an upturn, but at the same time, there’s a lot on the calendar that still hangs before me with heft and sadness.

2014 aims to be a better year, both mentally and physically, and also creatively. I’m planning on releasing my fourth novel somewhere around May, and if I have my way, somewhere between now and then I’m going to figure out a way to make the leap from 9-to-5 job to Independent Author. Expenses are weird things, and being a single dad, I have to make do on my dues. But it’s in the works, and I’m going to make it happen.

Tumblr, thanks for always providing great laughs and deep thoughts and spreading the joy. Here’s hoping you all have a fantastic New Year’s Eve, New Year’s Day, and 2014 as well. Stay classy, internet, except for when you’re not, because that can be funny, too.
