I’ve put 115 hours into My Time at Sandrock already, and I’m still not emotionally prepared for the end of the storyline.

Currently dealing with a social situation that’s causing me to be frustrated and upset, but I’m not in the circumstances to resolve it. 😩
This is why I prefer to sit at home with my pets instead of going places with “friends” even though I crave socialization.

December came far too fast. I got very little writing done last week, but I completed a chapter for Merrick Academy, and I’m at the tail end of a chapter I added to KAR that wasn’t on my outline. It’s time to get to work.

I’m the only vegan and liberal in my family so obviously today is my favorite day of the year 🙃
But in all seriousness, I have lots to be thankful for, and I wish you all a happy thanksgiving.

Where do you purchase ebooks? I’ve been trying to avoid Amazon for a while now but I haven’t settled on a go-to store for ebooks yet. (I have several favorite stores for physical copies.)

AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

If I was a Republican member of Congress watching the results tonight, I’d ask myself if I really wanted my legacy to be: Guy who helped an aging pedophile suspend the constitution so he could enrich himself and his friends.

For the first time in a while, hope has resurfaced. There are more troubles to come, but there’s a path forward through the darkness. We can do this together.
