Haven’t been by here in a bit, and I noticed @JayDee and @Sparrow discussing my absence.  I figured I’d give a bit of info on what’s going on.  JayDee mentioned work, and that’s part of it, but there’s a little added stress as well.
COVID-19 has begun working its way through my social circle.  Among other things, my youngest brother tested positive a few days ago, and his girlfriend lives with him, so it’s no surprise that she’s got it now too.  I just learned about his girlfriend, so I haven’t spoken with her yet, but I did have time to call my little brother, and he’s what I suppose you could describe as “mildly symptomatic”: no serious problems with breathing, but he’s congested and running a fever, so I’m somewhat nervous.
One of my cousins has tested positive as well, and the disease is making its way through her family (my aunt is doing her best to isolate herself, but it’s difficult since she lives with them).  In addition my middle brother’s wife was exposed today, so we’ll have to wait and see whether she’s infected or not.
Everything seems ok so far, but I’d be lying if I said this didn’t stress me at all.

What is 2021 like?
Have the carrots attacked yet?
 

Happy New Year, folks!

You know what’s really lame? The biggest reason why I want to get the COVID vaccine is that I want to see Wonder Woman 1984 in a movie theater.

Happiest of birthdays to my dearest Pooh, @BronxWench .     Love you, my favourite dragon, and I hope the day will be full of joy and great food, and hilarity, and no more snow  

Reminder please take mental health seriously this holiday season <3 Its been one crazy year and 2021 is around the corner <3

Porg-give me if this is out of line, but I wanted to show off the little buddy my hubby got me for Christmas last year. Folks, if you’re looking for love, find you someone who respects your nerdities and odditudes.
Y’all can keep y’all’s his and hers towels; in this home we have Pikachu and Porgs.

It’s been a hell of a year, right?
I hope everyone has come through it okay… so far…
And, well… I just thought I should warn you all, I’m planning to be around a bit more.

That moment when you go to “Edit Story Info” and change the “WIP” tag on a story to the “COMPLETE” tag.
Kind of mixed feelings, I suppose, especially when it’s something you’ve been working on for a long time.

The level of rage when you’re writing in the zone and some fricking idiot on their phone smashes into a transformer and takes out the  power of three blocks is just
Now the powers out and the groove is gone.

Doctors advise that any participants of No Nut November who reach the stage where “50 Shades of Grey” becomes arousing should seek release immediately.

Well, that took a few weeks longer than it should have, huh?
The final chapter of The Woman in the Statue will be up Monday.  That’s not an “I swear it’ll be done by then, PLEASE BELIEVE ME!” kind of thing; it’s done, but I’ve given JayDee an advance copy of every chapter thus far, and I wasn’t about to break tradition for the finale.  They’ll have time to read it, and I’ll work on polishing it before posting it on Monday.
Be forewarned, this is the longest chapter I’ve written for this story by far, a little over 20,000 words.
So, what’s next?  Well, before anything else, I have some reviews to respond to, and a few stories I need to catch up on in terms of reviews.  @Thundercloud should know to expect a review of the grand finale of G.S.P., and I’ll try to catch up on @Tcr’s Last Full Measure, as well as @InvidiaRed’s Rationis.
After that...well, I missed the Halloween party this year, but I’ll be back next year, and of course I have a story planned for this year’s holiday party, which is likely to be my next writing project.

So, it’s been a rough few days. My mom is in hospital with congestive heart failure, exacerbated by COPD, atrial fibrillation, and Parkinson’s. It’s been one step forward and two steps back for the past 4 days, but at least I’m allowed to see her for a couple of hours each day.

So, if I’m a bit more absent, or crankier than usual, I apologize in advance.

Chapter count for The Woman in the Statue is being changed again, this time to 11 chapters.  This isn’t because I’ve added a ton more story or anything; it’s just a matter of word count.  For instance, even after splitting Chapter 10 into 10 and 11, what I have of the final chapter is still over 11,000 words, and I am not done.
Of course, I wouldn’t be posting this just to say that.  Ok, so...*deep breath*
I will be posting Chapter 10 of 11 of WitS one week from today.  That chapter is done (and JayDee’s already seen it) so that won’t be a problem.  One week after that, Chapter 11 goes up, and we finally finish this.
Full disclosure: I’m terrified.  Fingers crossed, everyone!

This is what I get for Googling myself: "21 Die in Lake George Glass Bottom Boat Accident"

I feel like Wet Ass-Pussy is a term that’s appeared in some of the more anatomically improbable yaoi works.

Wear a mask.  That is all...

forgot to post this but on may 21st at 5:05am, my sister had her baby! 3lbs 5oz 13 inches! Adeline Bernice Rose! PROUD AUNTIE! they are keeping Addy at the hospital til she reaches 7 pounds! 

I’m back-ish? So much turmoil has happened in the past four months of my life and I think writing somewhat helps me. Well, it hinders more because I let events affect my writing. 
Anyway. I’ve decided to post the latest story I’d been working on. Started the story back in October and still working on it. 13 chapters already so I’ll post a chapter everyday.
