Update: Dear Reader – Part 27

Happy Tuesday! The countdown has officially begun! Last week was my last full week (teaching M-F, 8-2:30). This week has a half day on Friday (I will be updating twice!), and then I’m off Monday, May 26 for Memorial Day. And I decided to take Monday, June 2 off because my birthday is that previous Saturday. And then that last week is all half days. I can’t believe how fast this year went!

On Friday, it’s an early dismissal for staff and students, so I’m going to update twice Flash. Once around 3-5 (I don’t know exactly what time), and then later around 8. The Phillies are playing at 10:10 on Friday & Saturday, so I will also be updating Saturday just to keep myself awake, lol.  We’re getting to a really good part of the story, so you’ll be happy for me to update more.

I’ll see you guys on Friday for the next update!

Hey! Apologies for not updating as promised! I had a small window to get the update in on Wednesday, and a phone call derailed it. Then yesterday, I was just exhausted and not creatively inclined. But it’s Friday and I slept well last night 🙂 Plus! This is the first weekend where I don’t have to spend massive amounts of time on content creation, so I can do things around the house that will make next week even better. I appreciate your patience and understanding and hopefully we’re back on a decent schedule.

ICYMI: Domino (Episode Tag)

Happy Monday! It really feels so good to have the bulk of my work done for the year. Content has been created, slides are finished for tomorrow, grades are current, administrative is done. I busted my ass over spring break to get here and it was worth it to know I can come home every day for the next four weeks without hours of work to do.

Updating this week on Mon/Wed because I have a doctor’s appointment and a grocery run tomorrow because it’s a pay day. I did some housekeeping, updating Recent Updates and Alternate History with Flash updates and the episode tag.

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.

Update Link: Dear Reader – Part 22

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!

Update Link: Dear Reader – Part 19

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)

• Saturday, April 19 @ 12PM EST
• Monday, April 21 @ 4PM EST
• Wednesday, April 23 @ 12PM EST
• Friday, April 25 @ 1PM EST

I’ll see you on Monday!
