Y'all, I love and hate this time of year. I need to complain and avoid responsibilities for .5 seconds, then it's back to Bad B*tch hours. (I just cringed at myself, but I'm too tired to care.)
          
          This weekend, I leave for an almost week-long camp where I'm on staff. It's a fun camp, but it's also a learning camp for teens, so I spent far too many late nights this week finalizing my lesson plans, making ridiculous costumes and doing a mountain of laundry so I could pack. 
          
          A week after I get back, we have a fundraising dinner that quickly jumped from 125-150 to 180-200, which is a GREAT problem to have, but damn. Thankfully, I have really awesome event chairs and other board members, but I'm President and the media person, so I still have to write the script, write my speech, make the printed program, the table signage, the slideshow and I honestly don't know what all yet. (I do this to myself by volunteering too much.)
          
          THEN, the Sunday after that, I leave for a week-long work trip. We have a convention and Board meetings to put on for 150 people, so I basically will run around like a chicken with my head cut off. (But hey, Springfield has a Whataburger and my state does not, so little wins.)
          
          Okay, done complaining. I just needed to have a pity party for a hot minute. RIP to my sleep schedule for the next four weeks. BUT, I hope to have the next chapter to Forged in Fire up before I go. <3

Please ignore that I’m writing this at 1am but I had a thought. The future Akira will be an airbender (Aang’s grandchild) and an earthbender. Now this is me speculating but I assume they’ll learn earthbending from someone in the Beifong family (given they’re the best earthbending family around). For me, Lin seems like the most likely candidate. If she learns from Lin, she would pass down all her skills like metal bending and seismic sense. So what I just thought of was that in a way they (next Akira) would be like the child Lin never had with Tenzin (yk cuz they dated)
          
          That was it. Thanks for listening to my late night thoughts:)

Hi friends! 
          
          Posted a new chapter to Forged in Fire this afternoon! Sorry for the hang-up - May and June are two of the busiest months for me. Between a week-long camp I create curriculum and teach at, and a national convention I host and travel for as part of my job, I promise to post when I can. 
          
          Also, if you haven't read the Chronicles of the Avatar books, I HIGHLY recommend. I might do one book just for fun one day following some of the lives of past Akira’s like Tulan. 
          
          And, not to brag, BUT THE ALL AMERICAN REJECTS ARE PLAYING A GARAGE PARTY SHOW TONIGHT NEAR ME. TIME TO RELIEVE MY EMO DAYS!
          
          Alright, love y’all!

Happy to be a newbie and read your amazing work!!! 

Y’all, can I just say I appreciate everyone who has stuck with me from Reborn in Water all the way through now Forged in Fire or Gods Amongst Men even, because God d@mn do I give myself secondhand embarrassment when I go back and read chapters from the old days. 
          
          It’s been EIGHT YEARS since I first started posting online which is already WILD to think about, but my writing is night and day different now. You can hardcore see the evolution book to book, but it’s honestly like two totally different people wrote Reborn in Water and Forged in Fire. 
          
          To my OG’s - you’re a real one for sticking with me. 
          
          To my new friends - I promise it gets better.

I love your ATLA book and I recently have taken an interest in book binding. Would it be okay to print your fics and bind them for my shelf? 

I watched the movie and can’t stop thinking about how it would be if Aelita and Kyojuro was there. I just know them as adults would be LETHAL

Do you have any translations of your books?

Did you see the leak…?! 

Let’s play my favorite game of Is My Seasonal Depression Over Or Am I Just Manic?
          
          Really, I’m not sure, but I was motivated and I missed my girls Aine and Theo, so I jumped back into the world of My Hero after far too long. If you need a new read, check out Gods Amongst Men, especially if you’re a fan of mythology, ancient gods and deities, or Hitoshi Shinso. ✨
          
          I’d love to say I have a weekly post date for both series, but I travel for work so that does vary. Love you all and appreciate your support!
