Helloooooo!
          	
          	Mean Girls didn’t happen (yet) but I might still work it into the story. 
          	
          	Instead, it’s going to follow a detective for now as he tries to solve a murder. The only two oriented witnesses are a man walking his dog and a woman sitting in her car who may or may not be an alcoholic. 
          	
          	Also, I’ll still include the suggested names because those were all amazing.
          	
          	Check out Walked Past a Murder here!

I’m probably insane. 
          
          My psychiatrist wanted to admit me to the hospital. Weirdly, I agree but no one could pay the bills or take care of my almost adult daughter. 
          
          And the worst part is she’s suffering because off me. But she’s also the precious human being worth fighting for. She’s worth waking up for and telling her every day much much I love her. 
          
          So a brief added bit of context:
          
          This person I thought was my friend showed my texts to a senior manager where I called him fucking lazy and a liar. My point stands, but omg wtf who does that to a a friend????? 
          
          I did my Mean Girl shit and I wish more than anything I hadn’t. I also thank God for telling me this isn’t okay. I can still tell to be better while acknowledging that yes, I fucked up in a bug and stupid way. 
          
          So yeah… definitely doing a Mean Girls walk of shame where I sit in the bathroom stall with my lunch and cry. Jesus I didn’t believe that was real until this happened. 
          
          I’m going to title the story: Walked Past a Murder. 
          
          Top names based on suggestions:
          
          Camila, Heather, Maya, Mel (Melissa), Sloane, Sparrow, and Daphne. 
          
          Let’s narrow this down!

I'm sorry you're dealing with a hostile work environment. I'd punch them for you if I could or kick them in the crotch. As for the names, is it for a mean girl or a nice girl? Sloan, Camila or Heather could work for a mean girl, and Maya, Mel, Sparrow or Daphne for a nice girl. Sloan stands out most for me for a mean girl name and I like Mel for a nice girl name.

@MikeDePaoli I’ll dm you at some point but no, not in trouble. It’s so weird because I honestly should be but I’m the only person admitting any culpability. And trust me, I’m not innocent in this. It’s a true Lindsay Lohan moment averted I’m in the bathroom stall crying with my lunch. Maybe not just like that but you get it. And it’s a difficult walk of shame. 
            
            That said, I’m only publicly speaking about this because I feel it’s relevant. We live in a society where everyone wants everything hidden and bottled up. We need to present a facade at all times. 
            
            I feel like I’m not in more trouble because my punishment is the bullying I’ve endured every single day since all this happened. I’m already being kicked while I’m down and everyone is all too happy to blame me since I’ve owned my role. 
            
            So… I’m just… trying to process it all in a healthy way.

@Kaiddance I like the name Mel for some reason. And I love the title. Are you okay? Please tell me you weren't disciplined too harshly.

Hi everyone!
          
          I haven’t written anything in a long time that didn’t involve one of my best friends. Probably one of my only friends (yes I have two or three other friends but anyway). 
          
          I’m not in a great headspace right now, and my coworkers are telling me to write about it. 
          
          I’m in a very Mean Girls environment even though we should have outgrown this bullshit twenty years ago. 
          
          So here goes:
          
          I want y’all to throw some character names at me for a 30 something cis female. 
          
          I don’t thiiiiiiink this will be a romance, but who knows? 
          
          And then I’m just going to give it a try and see if it improves my emotional state as I throw in comedy, which is my spice of life.

@Kaiddance  Oh god I totally get it lol. This year's been one of the busiest, most psychologically exhausting years of my life so writing's been a struggle. But I admire the hell out of you for not giving up! Hope this is the best move for your mental health :)
            
            And thank you SO much for this request from us! I love doing character names so a few I'd recommend: Ellie, Serena, Jenny, Aisha, Corina, Camila, Trinity. Hope this helps somewhat! And best of luck once again! :)

@Kaiddance I'm sorry the vibe isn't cool at the moment. Some Regina's never grow out of their plastic skin. 
            I have a few names to recommend: Lainie, Elizabella, Heather, Finch, Juniper.

When will Underground part 2 be back??
          I miss these characters,  and still curious what happened to the crew from part1?

I think once my work schedule balances itself. I’ve been uneven on hours because I work one of two shifts, depending on who comes in that night. 
            
            I’ve been so exhausted that I haven’t had time to write, so I’ve pulled everything until I’ve got a better work/life balance.

I’ve been in the strangest funk these past few months. Part of it is work; I put in a lot of overtime. Part of it is depression where I stay in bed when I’m not working. And I think some is just me not feeling inspired. 
          
          But one thing that did wake me up just a little bit was this kid at work who approached me and asked where he could buy my book. He’s the first person in my real life who’s come up without expecting anything for free. I still gave it to him because I couldn’t give everyone else a free copy and not him, but it was such a perfect, beautiful moment of my writing life as an author. 
          
          I’ve been back at thinking about Six of Air again. I’m also thinking about the Aurora Endeavor and what I want to do with that story. 
          
          I’m not mentally where I was, but this a step in the right direction. ❤️

@Kaiddance he sounds super sweet!

@Nyhterides he asked me several times if I’m sure I can’t just take a $20. Next time I see him, I’ll remind him to leave me an honest review. But it’s really not about the money. It’s about sharing a story with people that they’ll hopefully enjoy. 
            
            But dang, he’s so precious. He’s so quiet and never says much. But then he came and wished me happy 40th in June. He would also stop to help me finish my aisles when I was on my own. And then he just came up to me a few weeks ago to ask about my books. It was very sweet.

When I was an Ambassador, we couldn’t swear on our boards, and we had to always act a certain way. 
          
          Well, I’m no longer an ambassador and I have no fucks to give, so here goes:
          
          I do not give a rat’s ass about memes, graphic designs for comics, vampires, sexy stuff, or whatever the fuck all these bots and scammers post on my board. Don’t come to me with your services or scams. Don’t tell me I’m sexy. I don’t fucking care. 
          
          That is all.

Hi everyone!
          
          Please do not be alarmed, but I am going to temporarily pull the Overlanders and Zombie Soap 3. OL only because I don't know when I'll post again; I'm running on fumes right now and I can easily spend up to 24 hours sleeping after several days of nonstop work and 4 hours of sleep in between. I'm pulling ZS so I can rework the plot. I'm not happy with the storyline at the moment and I don't want to force what isn't working. The stories will come back, but right now, I need to take a break for the sake of my mental and physical well-being.
          
          I appreciate you all.

Kaiddance

@MikeDePaoli I will eventually but I hate leaving it online when it’s been months and months since I’ve posted. I’m starting my new position next week though, so hopefully, my life will get back to normal soon. My job is beginning to give me legitimate nightmares.

@Kaiddance oh that's too bad, I thought both were looking good so far, but whenever you're posting again I'll be eager to read them.

It’s been a minute since I’ve personally posted anything, but I did recently update my poetry/prose book. 
          
          I’ve been considering love overall and childhood in particular last week when I thought about how so much seems brighter and more colorful when you’re younger. The world is bigger and more whimsical. But as time passes, time feels reflected in gold. 
          
          Anyway, if you’re bored or curious, feel free to check out my latest poem.
