Serious question, guys. Like, don't I remember writing a blog a few months ago? Didn't I?
Life is weird.
Did you know I got a new job? Yup. I works as a Records Coordinator for a local university, and I love it there. Regular hours, amazing co-workers, great bosses, etc. It's been about 17 months, and still awesome.
I've reconnected pretty steadily (yay, Skype!) with a best cousin, and talking to her helps a lot with my stress/anxiety. She says it's good for her, too (yay, symbiosis!).
About this time last year, I dusted off Ye Olde Manuscript, and gave 'er a good polishing, and now I've picked up working on the sequel. It take a lot of emotional energy, but ver, very gradually, I am getting back into writing--never mind that my brain almost short-circuits at the idea of submitting anything to agents. I also have the bones of a really cool book series about whom I'm called The Tragedy Trio . . . because nothing goes smoothly for those three. Their names are Ilen, Sparrow, and Thorn. Also, a flashy, dense book about a princess who isn't what people think she is, and her motley crew who get her where she needs to be . . . but that one is more upper middle grade. Still the language in it is lushly stylized, and I kind of love the book for it.
Husband, sons, cats, and bearded dragon are all well, thanks for asking! (You would not believe the growth ratio for all the male freaks of nature. Only Ava the dragon and I, females that we are, are stable in our size.) I'm still struggling with psychological problems, but it's pretty okay at the moment.
It's possible I've written this post so I could say I did (BABY STEPS, Y'ALL), or so I can hawk my wares so to speak, to wit:
The following will take you to my Wattpad, where you can read the newly titled, From the Stars, to the Stars all in one gulp, or bite by bite, as you prefer. And for a writer's sake, please COMMENT. Good and BAD things. It all helps. Your comments are basically Writer Kibble, and I am a Starvin' Marvin.

Random Fact: I love bananas, but HEAVILY DISLIKE 99 percent of banana-flavored things. Same with chocolate.
