It feels weird not to be writing right now. The Price of Happiness is still with my editor and I don’t know what to do.

Have my love and Deepspace MC getting proposed to by Sylus I guess.

“Really?” I looked into her eyes as my own shined with hope. She nodded and raised my fingers to brush a kiss against my knuckles, smiling against the skin in the process.

I have been radio silent since the US election. But I wanted to let y’all know I’m STILL ALIVE.

Got second round of revisions back from my editor. Now we begin the next draft!

Things I do besides writing: hand knit a blanket! This panel is 78 stitches on size 4 yarn working up with a size 5.5mm needle. I’m loving how soft it is!
