Wednesday was my birthday, plus I’ve had a lot of things going on this week,

      Going to the hospital for any reason isn’t great, going because you think you may have appendicitis doubly so… especially a week before your birthday.

      It’s the holiday season, and everyone needs a bit of a break from the shopping, freak outs, and breakdowns as the year comes to a close. That’s where this Holiday Sale comes in…

      It’s the last weekend of November! How? Where did the year go? Well, mine went to health issues, deaths in our families, crises too, a lot of funerals, and a metric shit ton of writing. I’m not exaggerating… Anyway, it's time to go over goals from this month and tell you all my ridiculous goal for the end of the year. 

      Breaking down happens. We simply have to pick up and keep going. For me, breaking down is always about my books, writing, or art. This time in involved all three.

      More words, though not as many as last week, due to pain from the Klutz incident… I’ll explain that in Author Life. Also, an update on dad and reminders about things to come next year!
