Hello everyone -old and new followers!
          Thank you for the New Year's greeting! For my next writing project, I'm starting "MoonBreak: the novel I had in mind years ago. Started it offline last year, despite disruptions - and that's the best thing about Google docs - the current page you were working on will still be there, no matter what computer you are on ... and I don't text on my stories cause the lettering is too small for me to focus on. Reading at the same time as well. Started something new too.
          Read a werewolf story (not a total fan, but I figured why not? One for the New Year. Although, I dislike any Twilight lookalikes/fanfiction ... blew my mind away.

Happy Holidays everyone!
          
          Getting in the mood for writing next year. For my story Piper ... I added a few words in the ending. Believe some readers were confused on how the story went. Believe me, I still want to change it and remove some items ... It was written for a past Wattys where rules had to be 50K. I plan on downsizing it as it can be revised. And thanks to everyone who read and commented on it. I had a few readers who said nothing but that's okay. 
          Merry Christmas!

Hello everyone!
          Whether its freezing where I am or sunshine across the hemisphere (like in Australia) ... Happy Holidays!
          
          Been out to tend to family members and well I try to get on social media when I can. It's odd, but sometimes I get the ad on Readdict (another reading site that wants to lure you in. As much as I like a good romance story, I'm had it up to here with their Alpha stories/snippets. I grew up in the old traditions of American werewolf stories ... when did the Alpha, etc. (sounds a lot like the NATO Phonetic Alphabet (also called the International Radiotelephony Spelling Alphabet), a standardized system for clearly communicating letters over radio or phone, widely used by military, aviation, emergency services, and even everyday people for clear spelling. It assigns unique, distinct words to each letter (A=Alpha, B=Bravo, C=Charlie, etc.) to avoid confusion, especially in noisy environments. My dad used to tell me all about that and that leads me to how I know a little tapping of Morse Code (SOS)! Never thought werewolves or any beasts of some kind/ shapeshifter ... LOL would be part of it. Anyway, on reading mode till next year. Cheers!

Hello everyone!
          For those who can still read my notifications,  a new genre just came to my mind ... superheroes. But as I'm not a fan fiction type of author, I'd make my own. And I'm going to put some disabilities within my characters because those who know my background know how " I fight for survival"! It just dawned on me, after Veterans Day and reading about Remberance Day in the UK. As a former private school student, wearing a sophisticated uniform  is "not all that"! Comparing that to a superhero's life, you wanna know if he or she really enjoys their job. Lol! I'm looking at you DC comics/ Stan Lee's characters! 
          I've read comic strips and high flying adventures of superheroes om my time off.
          
          Pia doesn't stick to one genre, cause I get bored! Lol ... and I miss writing. But first, my monster nightly news comes first!

Hello everyone, I'm back from hiatus. I'll  still be on reading mode till this govt shutdown  in the USA lasts. It's  taking a toll on me and my family. 
          Anyway as far as writing goes ... I'm focused on doing my haunted newscast "Moonbreak" story. Might be under the humor genre cause it probably won't  be that scary. Think like the animated Disney film "Monsters INC" where humously the monsters  are afraid of a little girl who accidentally went into their "world". I think that's what the world needs right now ... to laugh, brighten up a bit ... as it has hit 'rock bottom ' these days.
          
          I plan to finish a vampire story first for a monster interview. 

Hello everyone! Today is my birthday (in the US); celebrated in an unusual way as I don't do birthday cakes every year. Instead, my brother and I went to this tourist spot where we had split pea soup. Many might think that's quite ordinary, but to me it's one of a kind! These days you don't know if you will ever go back to a place you will enjoy! Like Disneyland, haven't been there since I was a kid and tickets were still cheap. (Plus, my dad was still active in the Navy, so we had a discount) Nowadays going there is really expensive. So, I take everything I do now as a memento!

Hello everyone!
          
          Been away and right now it's not a good time for my family as it's a Gov. shutdown in the US ... meaning my dad who works for the FAA won't get paid.
          Just grunting right now as me saving $ is all I can do now in preparation for my birthday. Or I could just bake my own cake. I'll just get a recipe online.
          
          Had my blood drawn yesterday, lady phlebotomist poked me 3 times, so I had to rest and eat as soon a I got home!  It's for my annual visit with my doctor. And likewise, I'm not only looking after my mental health, but my autistic brother's as well. I read an article about how two friends (one with ADHD and the other with autism) fought. Kind of like my case. All I can say is have patience. Those who know me well, should know that being a childhood cancer survivor will stay with you till life. Never easy as there are times I want to cry.
          
          But anyway, I'll be back soon!

Hi everyone!
          
          Been out and about. Next week is the start of doc appointments for me and a yearly shot for my doc. I don't really like my blood to be drawn, but it's a living! 
          I'll probably back to writing in November. My goals are to start either a prequel or continuation of Oswald and Meadow's life in the price of Remaining Silent. Someone asked me why I named it that way ... well here's the gist ... it's all Meadow's fault. LOL. (Why put the blame on the man? Those who know how I write, it'll be a different show airing on Pia's channel.) 
          
          For those who've read my story, if Meadow didn't leave for England during her first weeks of pregnancy to avoid hurting Oswald (who had no idea she was pregnant with their son, there wouldn't be an issue.) Therefore, there it is = she is the one who remained silent all this time and its only 20 years later that the truth is told. 
          
          I also need to work on "Murky Waters" - the Spec. smackdown I was removed from early in the contest. Gonna do it my way ... Archaeologists discovering a love triangle long ago. That'll be TBA (To be announced). And of course, I still have plans on writing the horror monster TV News show = 'Moonbreak' as if Frankenstein and Dracula had their own news channel. 

When your brother is more computer savvy than you. Sighing! For him, it only took 15 minutes to dissect the problem  and fixed it. For me, it nearly took me the whole day! If you read my recent novella, The Price of Remaining Silent  I have characters that are worry worts cause that's exactly who I am ... my biggest problem. Going to bed now. Goodnight!
