I update the 'Home' page with information regularly (rather than posting on social media). Be sure to check in if you're interested in what's going on with me/the books!

Sooooo...

Never say never?

This post will explain things and what has been going on, for the most part, lately: The 6-Month Wide Experiment

It is shorter than most of my blogs, so that's surely nice for anyone wanting to read it! ha!

In 'news' beyond that post?

I have been rewatching Marvel movies and shows (some of them) and doing an initial watch on some of them. I am at the point now where everything has, for the most part, turned into garbage. (I did like Ms. Marvel, which was unexpected. I thought it would be too kidsy, but it was adorable, and she is adorable.) (I did also watch Shang-Chi for the first time, and that is now probably my FAVORITE Marvel movie. Wasn't expecting that, either! Loved it so much I already watched it again. Not like Predator: Badlands, which I watched legitimately 5 times or so--3 in a week-long span........ >.>) (Wasn't planning on rambling so much.) Having Doctor Strange 2 and Thor 4 so close to each other was torturous. (I halfway apologize for saying that, if someone reading this enjoyed them. I freaking HATED them. I am hoping Ant Man 3 will be good? Have not seen that one yet....)
In Marvel-adjacent news, my hair is one or two shades darker than Black Widow's in Iron Man 2, as of yesterday (technically two days ago). Don't read the rest of this paragraph if you've never watched Endgame and plan to, because *spoilers*.... (Miss you, Nat. So much.)

The hair color was sort of accidental. It was supposed to be purpleish. It ain't.
I kept saying, "No more red," then ended up red again. *shrug*

Mention health things in the post, if anyone cares to know about that.

Didn't mention that Exile's cover is basically done. I decided after getting Virin and it done to go back to the 5.5 x 8.5, so... adjustments required. It will be up soon.

If you're a Kindle Unlimited reader... you will probably want to read the post.
If you're an author thinking about going wide... you might ought to read the post.

If you're family/friend... might ought to. Have a bit of a scare going on at the moment. Not saying more until or unless there's more to say. 

Other news, other news....

I am enjoying my 'basketball offseason news'. That is keeping me moderately entertained and looking forward to the future. I really need some basketball friends. I think my family is tired of listening to me....

I feel like I had two other actual THINGS to mention here. As of right now, I have zero idea what they are/were. Thinking........

Closing down my shop. The post explains.

I will work on getting certain things updated on here--links AGAIN (so TIRED of messing with links, y'all), images AGAIN (so tired).

Once I get done with what I'm doing, I might take a long freaking 'vacation' apart from random things like working on new covers with the designer. Maybe I'll write. I just need to get back to happy. 'It ain't' is what I'm feeling about that, too. It just ain't.

Have you ever had one of those spiritual-adjustment sorts of moments where you realize that time is a precious commodity that is also a limited resource? Yeah, I'm living in that space right now. As Kylie's mom says (in flashback) in one of the books in From the Ashes?

"Time iddn't infinite, baby girl."

That's where I'm at right now, and I'm about two inches away from the line of, "IDGAF anymore." Which is both true and the most inaccurate thing in the entire world. (That's been a fun space to be in, lemme tell ya.) Obviously, I very much care. But things seem more important than other things sometimes, and I feel it's important on occasion to have a reason to get that sort of... chiropractic adjustment so that you can get your priorities straight.

I might write. I might just spend some time with my family. Those things and being happy seem so much more important than the things I've been drowning myself trying to do/get done the last few years.

If anyone has read my rambling?

Be freaking happy. Time isn't infinite on Earth. Go be freaking happy. If something is holding you up/down/back from that? Knock it down and be on your freaking way to something better.

That's where I'm at. In some ways? This is the best place I've been in years. By far. Feels like getting weight off that I'd been piling on. And that ain't bad.
