Howdy! I'm Khealos, AKA Sean Erik. My current WIP is "Break a Leg", an #urbanfantasy, and I'm almost done with my current round of revisions. Like 2 or 3 more chapters.

A6: I'm also in two charity anthologies, with all proceeds going to help feral cats and places that take care of them
"A Future for Ferals" and "More Futures for Ferals"
They make more money if you use this link instead of Amazon!

And I made 12 cents on Kindle Unlimited -- someone liked my vampire pregnancy story -- Mom2be has a craving and Magnus (yes, my sweet) has get the baby the blood of a virgin

A2 Nothing specific. Just trying to focus. My students tell me I have too many side-quests, and I do try to do too much with too many different things (not just writing).
I got some grading done today (that's another struggle!)
I think I need to set mini-goals for stuff

A 315-word Ides of March betrayal challenge became 314 because I used Pi (being a math person)
Somehow, before publication, 3 words disappeared. So 311.

Spreadsheets are nice. They tell me a story was rejected after 290 days. Previous rejections from that market took 27 and 63 days. But no word whether it was under consideration all that time or if they were just slammed with submissions. (And you can blame AI for that.)

This is why I keep a reading blog: Amazon sends an email. There's a free book that's #2 in a series. I check #1, which is also free and read the description. I see a made-up horror that conjures horrors from the dark recesses on my mind.

Missed writing opportunity here.
Almost to the point of being annoying, the author keeps saying “Three seconds passed” before the response is heard on the Moon.
This one time, he could’ve said:
Three seconds passed. Four. Five. Six…. Ten.
Jim said nothing.
