Just checking in to let you know I've been recovering on schedule. Wednesday really was the worst day -- and you can tell by how badly my update post was worded, lol. But I got a really good cough medicine, two types of anti-biotics, and an inhaler. Plus, my mom hooked me up with some extra nebulizer treatments that definitely helped out.

I found out at the doctor that I had pneumonia. 2025 blows. Obviously updates are paused for a moment. I'm sorry sorry, and me, I'm angerier than you are.

Let me tell you RIGHT NOW that 2026 is going to be the year we fix my immune system because what the absolute fuck. TL;DR: I've been sick since Friday. I don't really know with what, but my guess is some sort of sinus thing that has resolved and is lingering with chest congestion that makes my life annoying. Should be back to updating tomorrow or Tuesday at the absolute latest.

Update Link: You're Not Sorry - Part 60 I appreciate you guys letting me detour for a few days to 1997 🙂 I jumped into a marathon without a lot of pre-planning, and like I said, this story has a lot pieces and I felt like I wasn't making progress or that I was spinning my wheels. I like to do a really detailed breakdown with dialogue notes because then I can write faster. 

Update Link: Foolish Games - Part 2  Honestly so tired tonight I think I'm gonna get a bowl of cereal for dinner and go to bed early. 85% chance tomorrow's update is Not Sorry. Spent a really good hour today organizing my notes and working out the timeline, and then plotted out the next two parts down to dialogue beats (which is my preferred plan before writing because then it's so much easier and my brain knows where we're going). Then it'll be Not Sorry for Thurs/Fri, back to Foolish Games for Sat/Sun and we'll be on our new schedule 🙂 See you tomorrow!

Update Link: Foolish Games - Part 1 Happy Tuesday! Yes -- that is a new story. Let me explain - Short Explanation: Need to sketch out the next section of You're Not Sorry because I'm winging it, and didn't want to miss a day or several. Not Sorry will return either on Thursday or next Monday. If I'm not ready to start writing again on Thursday, I don't want to write the new story for three days, switch to…

Update Link: You're Not Sorry - Part 59 Happy December! I posted the December Patreon Perks this morning, and thought I'd summarize the tiers because every tier is getting new content this month 🙂 Free: Crimson Swift Song Videos. 3-5 minute descriptions of the songs and my ideas for writing. Starts Dec 4. Fan ($1): The first 11 chapters of 

Update Link: You're Not Sorry - Part 58 Happy Sunday! Going into the last afternoon of the break before three full straight weeks of classes. We're in school until December 23, but that last day is a half day when the majority of the day is the teachers vs. students in our annual volleyball tournament, so it's not even that bad.

Update Link: You're Not Sorry - Part 57 I can't believe I had to pay almost $180 for the privilege of taking an annoying three hour French test. Leaving in a few hours for the torture, and hoping that I pass this time so I can move on to the LAST step I need for my certification -- the OPI interview which is going to be the worst experience ever.

Update Link: You're Not Sorry - Part 55 Every time I make the smallest attempt to stay up a bit late and then sleep past 8, Lizzie the Terror reminds me that I have mouths to feed no later than 8 AM. Literally slaps at my face with her paws until I give up and feed her. I respect the commitment, honestly.

Written in 66 minutes. Wanted to get the ending right. It's not quite there, but it's close enough. Saturday, September 21, 2024 Harborview Towers: Lobby Dante walked through the double door entrance to the building — and straight into chaos. He saw Danny first, standing off to the side, his cheeks flushed and stained with tears — then the security guards standing near the sofas, and two women on the ground —

Update Link: You're Not Sorry - Part 55 Hope everyone had a great holiday! I devoured Stranger Things last night -- it was sooo good! And it was really great to just shut down social media, put away the phone, turn off the lights, grab some wine, and just enjoy one of my all-time favorite TV shows. I should be updating mid-day tomorrow, but we'll see.

Update Link: You're Not Sorry - Part 53 Almost Thanksgiving break! And the worst part of my week is over! Tomorrow is a half day, I'm just tossing on Nailed It France! and letting the kids run wild while I catch up on some grading. And then wheeee four days off! I'll start tomorrow's update between 1:30 and 2 -- depending on what time I get out.
