I’m alive. I’m alive! I’M ALIVE!
          
          I know, it's been a while. Life has been busy! In the last few months I had the trip of a lifetime in Vietnam, received several more query rejections, participated in RevPit (did not win), returned to editing VABT with a machete, read & judged a long list of screenplays for the Philadelphia Unnamed Film Festival, cheered my partner on as he was nominated for several cool awards associated with his work, did some home improvements, got one of my cats tested for hyperthyroidism (he's ok!), have been up to my eyeballs in work for my day job, am expecting the arrival of my new youngest nephew, read some real good books, and just learned about this weirdo “hot girls read” trademark debacle. 
          
          Despite some downs *cough, rejections, cough* life has been overall good lately. I’m happy. The only thing missing is getting back into the groove of writing and updating regularly. Which I promise I will be doing! I have forgotten about SoaC or any of you, my darlings. 
          
          I mentioned editing VABT (again). That’s been taking up a lot of brain space these days and I’ve def been working on fixing that manuscript up more than creating new material. The dream of traditional publishing is, admittedly, with a sigh, still a long way off it seems. I’m still also toying with the idea of self-publishing, which obviously comes with its own set of challenges. 
          
          Annnnd that’s been life lately. Just wanted to let you all know I am still here. I am still writing. I miss you. I’ll be back with updates to SoaC.

@_nale__ Thank you!!

Thank you everyone for your patience with my publishing schedule, and for all the reads and comments from the last few weeks. Now that it's over and I have reliable cell service again I can say I just spent the last several weeks traveling through Vietnam for my birthday! It was amazing, and I'll get around to posting pics on my other socials later, for this curious. 

I'll be taking a short break from publishing new chapters Shadow of a Curse for a few weeks. I've got some good things going on right now, and they are busy things! I'll be back soon, darlings. If you need me, my extension is GRITTY on the Ouija Board. 

@_nale__ Thank you!

This year I entered VABT into the annual Revise & Resub (RevPit) contest. This could be a chance to win feedback on my manuscript and query from professional editors. Wish me luck, darlings!
          
          To stay connected to the contest, I've finally joined Bluesky. Would love to connect with some fellow Wattpad writers there!

My darlings! After several firm nudges from my familiars, I've finally hooked my crystal ball up to Bluesky. I'm not a particularly active person on social media but would love to connect with you!

In today's chapter of Shadow of a Curse, Greg brushes his teeth. Naked. 

New chapters of Shadow of a Curse will be delayed a bit, darlings. I'm trapped inside a salt circle and can't get out. You understand.
