I&#8217;m also starting to venture slowly into poetry, which is weird, because I never thought of myself as a poet. But Amber introduced me to <a href=\"https:\/\/rupikaur.com\/\">Rupi Kuhr<\/a>, and I am in love with words again. She is amazing and wonderful and I highly recommend her to all people. Even if you think you don&#8217;t like poetry. This, to me, is more thoughts in motion than anything else.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m also working on books. I&#8217;m getting myself back into Advent, and will be re-releasing last year&#8217;s unfinished story in July, along with the ending. So this year you get two Advents! Because Molly and Schrodinger will be back in December as well. I&#8217;m also releasing\u00a0<em>Winter Storms,<\/em> the second book in the Carter&#8217;s Cove series, this year. So much Molly! My mother&#8217;s smiling, I know she is.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m working on a few other things too. I&#8217;ve got an odd short story that I&#8217;m working on finishing up, about ghost helpers and the little shop they run. And I&#8217;ve finally started to work on\u00a0<em>Resonant Frequencies,<\/em> which I&#8217;m hoping to submit to Viable Paradise in a month. If I don&#8217;t get it to the shape I want it to by the deadline, I&#8217;ll continue to work on it and go for next year. This year is the year of me doing things to push myself. Reconnect with myself.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m also still playing with Shanna and Talia but that&#8217;s kind of on hold. I&#8217;m trying to get my world bibles in order (using <a href=\"https:\/\/archivos.digital\/\">Archivos<\/a>, which is amazing and you should all look into it) and so I&#8217;m doing more of worldbuilding than anything else. She will be getting her story. I promise. Just not right now. Both of them. And\u00a0<em>Faerytale Princess\u00a0<\/em>as well. I have so many stories, guys. So very many stories.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>OH! And I&#8217;m going to be doing some book reviews too on here! First up, once I finish it, is\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Perils-Prague-Adventures-Crackle-Bang-ebook\/dp\/B06XVNW1KJ\"><em>Perils of Prague\u00a0<\/em>by Doc Coleman<\/a>. Steampunky goodness. I can&#8217;t wait. Yes, I will be doing others, but I&#8217;m not sure what ones yet.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Finally, I&#8217;m starting to do\u00a0<em>The Artist&#8217;s Way<\/em> again. I&#8217;ve decided that I&#8217;m not going to be online after 9 pm ET most nights, so I can keep my sleep habits healthy. My evenings are going to be spent writing by hand, since that&#8217;s something that feels comfortable to me.\u00a0 More as I come up with it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m writing again.
