Good evening from the Midwest.
          	
          	As I sit and ponder what to do with Ch 11 of WITCHES, I have begun writing other things, just as a way to get the juices flowing and hopefully, hopefully get past this stubborn wall of Writer's Block. It got me thinking, "maybe I could start a collection of short stories." I've written one in the past, years ago (see: The Darkest Part of Winter), which needs to be heavily edited and possibly rewritten. I reckon that short stories are smaller tasks and might help with making me feel more accomplished.
          	
          	So, eventually, I'll get that started, and then I can get back to work on WITCHES.
          	
          	Have a wonderful morning/afternoon/evening wherever you are! Stay safe and stay home.

Good morning/afternoon/evening! I have news to share.
          
          The good news is this: My laptop now has a new motherboard and is in working condition! Yay!
          
          The bad news is irrelevant.
          
          I need to get back into the writing mindset, which may take some time. That means Witches won't be done till later this year and will be published closer to the new year.
          
          That's all for today. I hope you guys are staying safe and at home and wearing your masks when you absolutely have to go out and social distancing when you do. Don't forget to wash your hands!

Due to a lack of a proper computer to write on, I have adjusted the release time for Witches of Ástoreia from the end of summer to winter. It'll be slow progress, but it'll get there.
          
          You're probably wondering, "well, what happened?" The answer: the motherboard in my laptop died, so I have to get a new one. I was using my mom's old laptop, but that one has become finicky of late. The good news is, the part my laptop needs has been ordered. Bad news: the part will be shipping from China (for whatever reason, I don't know why), and with the pandemic still a threat, it'll be a while before it gets here.
          
          At least I have the money for it...

Work on Ástoreia is, so far, going swimmingly. I hope it stays that way.
          
          In other news, it seems like the stay at home order where I live has been extended to May 31 for non-essentials, which means me as the hostess of a restaurant that's closed to dine in customers. At least retail gets to open up again, but only for curb-side pick up, I think.
          
          Hooray for temporary unemployment!

Hello! I know there's nothing here and there really hasn't been in the past, but Quarantine is a thing and there's nothing better to do than write. So write, I have! It's far from complete yet, but I want people to know about it. Have a look, spread the word, leave a comment, do what floats your boat. I'll be here. Writing.
