This month I am working on my book in a month project. I just created Bess' Plants, and uploaded 5 chapters with 7725 words that won't count on Royal Road for the 2026 Spring Writathon which begins Apr 5, or the @JustWriteIt Mar-Apr 8 Chapter Challenge or the 30 Day Challenge. I can use a pre-existing story for all of these. For Writathon, I'll need 55,555 new words. 8CC will need 8 new chapters totaling 12k new words.  30DC has word count levels for the new words, and if I complete the book this month, I'll get a special sticker. Writathon doesn't end until 5 weeks. So, I'll be very busy this month and posting my progress on TrackBear. Wish me luck!

I just updated all my book covers. I'm also putting a new cover on my novella, Dad's Cabin, which I will put on here later from Amazon Kindle.
          
          Alma's dad is gone, and all she wants is what he left behind.
          
          But the rutted road to his cabin has other plans. Stuck in the mud, she finds Joe — a Zheien diplomat, badly wounded, with Elshar slavers closing in. His only chance is Molly's Ship at the Atlanta Spaceport. Three hours away. And he has to pass as Earthan to survive the trip.
          
          One broken car. One truck that barely runs. Slavers on their tail. A frantic stop for emergency healing. And at the spaceport gates, Alma has to leave behind everything her father owned — everything she came for.
          
          Joe makes it to the ship and he's really Perren, Diplomat Of Kin Para. But healing his body is the easy part. His memories are confused. He can't talk about his home, his people, or the father he lost — a grief that mirrors Alma's own. They help each other in ways neither expected. But when Perren's mind links with Alma's, a marriage to save their lives becomes something far more real.
          
          Two broken people. One long road to healing. And a love neither saw coming.
          
          Dad's Cabin is a young adult science fiction novella about grief, survival, and finding love in the most unexpected places.
          It was at this rank last week, but this one it's dropped a few slots. #Amazon #novella #ShortReads #youngadult #sciencefiction

Thanks, @Tassaemiri for all the comments! We're still waiting for my daughter's house to close. Can't believe it's March already and we're still waiting. But, once we sell the house and van, we'll be on our merry way to Albania! In the meantime, I've gone though all the boxes. I'm still organizing my archival donation and seeing what will fit in my carry-on and personal item backpacks, and how we'll manage 2 cats and my disability equipment, much less my 7 mechanical hard drives, on an airplane! But we're getting there. Wish us luck! Hoping this move will finally happen this month.

So sorry I haven't been here, but our Albania move is about to happen! Daughter sold her house, the closing date is in weeks and we'll know soon what day, and then we'll leave for our big adventure! Once we arrive in Albania, I plan to write 3 books in 2026. One in April, one in July, and one in Nov. I also plan to livestream them on my Substack at Too Many Channels, which might get renamed soon, but for right now, I have sections there for all my ventures, including 6+ YouTube channels. So, I have a lot planned, including working on my Roblox game based on Adia, Scientist. But first, we have to get money, rent a temporary AirBNB, find a place to rent for a year in Albania, and Maggie has to find a job! Life is just a bit too exciting right now, but our dream is happening.

I've been really depressed because Corene, our 12-year old tortie, got sick and we had to put her to sleep on Sep 19th. I'm putting the poem I wrote for her in Song Of Winds.
             On a more positive note, I'm building a game on Roblox based on Adia, Scientist. I'm using the Roblox AI to help me with scripts [the programming kind]. I'm learning how things work. If you want to see it, go to Roblox and look for Adia, Scientist [under construction]. I'm putting up videos and livestreams of my progress on my Adiamaea YouTube account and I revived my Adiamaea Twitch account. If any of you have dreamed of making your story into a game, stay tuned!
