Some sad news
Added 2021-03-22 21:57:39 +0000 UTCHi everyone. Unfortunately my father passed away last night. He became sick very fast on Friday and before we knew it his heart gave out on him. This was very sudden so I've had to spend most of the weekend going over things with family and trying to sort everything out. I was really looking forward to getting back to writing more now that my injury has healed up but this was a blow that none of us could have seen coming.
I've got a story finished that will go up in a day or two, just need to finish editing it over, and hopefully after funeral arrangements are done I can try to get back to focusing on writing. But honestly it's hard to know where my headspace is going to be at. I'll definitely be sure to keep up my promised goal of 15K words a month, and hopefully I can try to get some work going on the bigger series like It Runs in the Family again. I know that one has been sorely missed by the fans but I wanted to make sure I was back in shape writing wise before jumping back into it. I might keep focusing on one shots to keep the creativity flowing and get back in the groove after all this but I can promise you that I'm just as excited to keep working on and finish up some of these beloved series too.
Thanks again for all of your support these years. It's truly means the world to me that you offer such amazing feedback and love for my writing. I'm excited to see what I can bring you over the coming year and I hope you're all looking forward to it too.

2021-08-01 02:32:55 +0000 UTCOh god, I'm so sorry. Family deaths are never easy to deal with and even less so when they're sudden. I remember when my grandfather had a heart attack and we had to rush him to the hospital. He made it through a quadruple bypass surgery and we thought he'd be okay but then something went wrong. I only remember being able to say we loved him in a brief moment when he was conscious and lucid. One of the worst days of my life. For all I care, you can charge us for this post, take all the time you need.
