It's been a while, but I live

Wow. Just two months shy of it being a year since the last time I blogged. I wish I could say I had a really good excuse for not posting in that amount of time. I mean, I have an alright excuse for about four months; but the other six, well, five not so much. I feel sometimes when I don't have new author-esque news to deliver, I shouldn't blog but I don't want that to be the case. So let me catch you up.

Alas my story for the contest didn't win. I struggled a bit with the 4k word cap but I still like what I came up with. So maybe in the future I will tweak it and add more content and publish it as I can absolutely get in another 6k words at least. 

Then to be honest, work continued to be crazy and I wasn't working on The Shadowed or the fan fiction I was trying to fix. Then a week before Thanksgiving my nephew contaminated me with germs. Continuing my bad luck train, I fell down some stairs and hurt my foot the day after Thanksgiving. I was on a little scooter thing for six weeks. My husband was very helpful, a bit mocking, but mostly helpful. At which point we reach January and I got sick from an unknown source and continued to stay sick. I'm managing but it makes writing or being productive hard. It's somewhat easier now but there are good and bad days. 

Enough of that sad stuff, I did a thing. I went through some all my old notebooks and found random stories or snippets that I had written. So I posted one of them on my facebook author page and I am working on putting it here under the Unpublished Works tab but I am waiting for a second opinion from my husband. In the mean time I have an idea to make a tiny video of it. It's just really sunk its teeth into me. I hope to flesh it out one day but as of right now it can be what it is.

I am kinda tired. I didn't sleep much. So I'm going to leave this entry here and hope to have a random blog next week.
