Update: Domino (Episode Tag)
Hello!!! This is a surprise episode tag (for you and for me!) I’m four months behind on General Hospital, and started my catch up this morning. After finishing January 9’s episode, I got inspired 😛 This takes place back when Michael was in the hospital after the penthouse explosion, and while Elizabeth was suspended.
Enjoy! I’ll be back next week with more Flash.

Hello! Apologies for missing Tuesday again! I’ll be making up for it tomorrow. It’s so annoying, lol. Before, flash fic was difficult to fit in because I didn’t have time, and then this week, I’ve had late meetings at work and have just been exhausted by the time I get home. Hopefully next week, we’ll be all good.
I started Book 3 of These Small Hours on Monday and finished the first chapter! I have hopes that this draft will go quickly, but we all know I’ve said that before. I’ll know more by the end of next week but so far so good!

Hope everyone is having a great week 🙂 So far everything is going the way I planned it — I’ve prepped almost every single piece of content I need to for the next two weeks, even posting lesson plans which is the most annoying. The only thing left is creating the slides I use to teach every day and that’s actually the part I like! Almost done teaching for the year and I get to go to the Phillies game for Teacher Appreciation night 🙂
I’ll be back next Tuesday & Thursday for more flash updates.

Hope everyone is doing well 🙂 I was scheduled to update yesterday, but my dentist appointment ran late, and I had to go grocery shopping (I could have waited another day, but the kittens are unhappy with the dry food so I needed to restrock on wet). By the time I got home and made dinner, it was already six and the game was coming on. So I’m doubling up — today and tomorrow 🙂
I’m working on These Small Hours, Book 3 — making adjustments to the OG plot sketch because I haven’t updated it since I reworked it into a trilogy and wrote Books 1 & 2. Then, starting Monday, I’ll be starting the book proper. I’ve set a tentative publication date of around August 19, but it could come much sooner. It’s a shorter book and at the moment, a lot of reusable scenes from my original first draft. It just depends on how much ground I can cover during May. I will keep you posted 🙂
See you tomorrow!

Happy Wednesday! I’ve written every day since Thursday (skipping Friday) and that’s the most I’ve written in AGES so hopefully we’re in a good place. I’m done two weeks of content already, and hope to finish another two weeks before we go back so I can really have most May done. That would really put me in a good place.
The kittens are settling in nicely 🙂 Lizzie is the most cuddly, and attacks me in the morning (and has already found her spot on the desk) while Harper is still a little more cautious. She’s worked up to sniffing me and then walking away, lol, so that’s good.
See you on Friday! Then we’ll go back to our new schedule — Tues/Thurs.

Happy Monday! I’ve finally updated the Recent Updates page and the widget on the sidebar with the correct information 🙂 See you on Wednesday!

Hello! Happy Saturday 🙂 After finishing Flash on Thursday, I pretty much took the next day and a half off, just relaxing and focusing on nothing, lol. Then, last night, I moved my computer back upstairs to my office. I was trying out an experiment with working out of my dining room so that I didn’t feel as tied to my office all the time, but it just didn’t work. While I absolutely spent more time just using all the other rooms, lol, it’s really not set up for work or writing! I feel difference immediately being back upstairs, and already did twice as much work in 90 minutes as I would have downstairs.
I’ll be updating Flash a few more times this week — not daily here because I’m working on a Patreon project — but definitely more. And then (hopefully) if all goes well this break with getting most of May school content prepped, I’ll be moving Flash back to weeknights, on Tues & Thurs again. Stay tuned for that!
Here’s the schedule (times might be adjusted slightly)
I’ll see you on Monday!

Hello! I write to you as I begin the joyous ten days known as Spring Break. I finished work around 1 PM today (Thursday, April 17) and I don’t have to go back until Monday, April 28. GLORIOUS FREEDOM!
I had hoped to update twice this week but then, of course, the universe was like, nah. Instead, I caught a cold that developed over Sunday, and of course it was a week when I could not take a sick day because I had to give a benchmark mandatory test that factors into my evaluations — UGH. BUT WE ARE DONE. I’m updating today, then on Saturday, and I’ll make some decisions next week about updating.

Hope everyone is having a great weekend! I have some fun news —
A few weeks ago, I started the process of searching for a pair of kittens to adopt. It’s been six months since I lost Sasha, and I definitely needed some time so I wouldn’t feel like I was just replacing her. I connected with a rescue agency in Philly, which is just across the river, and came across a pair of sisters that had been found in a lot in January when the temps had dropped to below ten degrees. They were both really sick and needed a lot of love and care. They’re all better now, and I brought them home on Thursday.
I’ve named them Harper and Lizzie (government names are Harper Nicole and Elizabeth Nadine, and nicknames have been set – Nicky Harps and Lizzie Dean) and they’re settling in nicely. Lizzie was cuddly and playful last night and actually napped with me in the bed, but Harper is taking some time to decide how she feels. They’ve been exploring the house, and so far, so good.
I’m heading on spring break this Thursday, but I also have a pretty easy week ahead of me teaching wise, so I’m planning at least 2 flash updates. Stay tuned to my Twitter for more updates.

Hope everyone’s April is off to a good start! I took a half day today because — well, because I could, lol. The rush to the end of the third marking period was absolutely brutal, and I am really glad to be in the final quarter of the year – especially since I already know I’m going to come back again next year. In the last district, it was always that awful anxiety but I already know I’m writing curriculum, my admin asked me to go to a conference this summer — all good things.
Appreciate all the patience with me over the last few months. Prepping two full subjects has been really exhausting and difficult to manage, but I feel like I’ve learned a lot this year and have ideas for managing work load better next year (which what I always say I know!)
Right now, Flash is on Saturdays until at least Memorial Day. We may change that up again as we get towards May. It just depends how fast I write content for the rest of the year. Not sure on times just yet — either mornings or evenings. I think we’ll just play it by ear.
Enjoy this update!
