Greetings, My Wonderful Peoples!!!

What a long week. Between car problems, publishing “The Porch”, (will be available soon!), and trying to plan a get-away for the end of November or December, and reading an entire 18 book manga series, AND trying to keep my dog entertained, AND testing out these new prescription contacts, (first time wearing prescription contacts. Yay me), I’m feeling pretty drained.

How goes it for you, my peoples? Is life good?

I’m sure this might catch you by surprise, but I am writing this post for two reasons: 1), because it’s been a while since I posted and I missed you. 2) I had writers block and am procrastinating…

…

… …

Can you blame me?? I have to concoct and write a prison break in a place I wrote to be almost flawlessly designed! You may think, as the writer of this impervious prison, I would know how to break people out. But no! I have to make it believable, darn it! I have to sit here, think through the security, find flaws, create the flaws, and also figure out how to help these people escape! Baaaaah–

…

So I bought a fidget spinner. This adds to my ways of procrastination. I set it on my desktop and spin it and just watch it. This little guy spins on forever. It’s impressive. Stainless steel too. Never even held a fidget spinner before today so I’m rather enjoying this.

…

… …

And now I’m even procrastinating my own blog post by writing random nonsense!!!
It’s an illness for this weekend!
I have the procrastination sickness!!!

The only cure is hard work and focus… but alas… I am too lazy. And my dog is trying to bite my elbow while I’m sitting at my desk.

Ah, the fidget spinner is still going. Changing the surface it sat upon really made a difference.

…

… …

Ah… I should really return to the point of this post.
Though I suppose the real point of this post is procrastinating working on my novel.

So, technically, even while off point I’m still on point. Ha ha ha!

But yes, I have been keeping busy, yet also being extremely lazy. It’s a special talent of mine, like misspelling basic words. Spell check is the only reason you can enjoy my blog posts. I should one day write a blog post and not fix my spelling or typing errors and just let you see how bad it is. I bet in a few places you wouldn’t even understand what I’m trying to say. When I type fast to put my thoughts down before they vanish, the words I type can become jumbled and mixed and yeah, it’s a fun time being me.

I communicate better through the written word than the spoken word. Even when I’m home alone talking to my dog I stammer and mess up words. Maybe I just need to slow down. Perhaps I’ll try that. Slowing down and thinking through my words before speaking them.

Lately I mess up sentences a lot more than I used to. At first it worried me, but then I realized I’m also under more stress than before and my mind is running at a higher pace than usual. I’ve also been reading and watching anime a lot so my brain is partially in the fantasy world, which also adds to my lack of focus when I speak.

My point here is don’t jump to conclusions when something feels off with you. Pain in your body, a weird tick you didn’t have before, things like that. It’s possible you just threw off your own rhythm and the changes you’re seeing now will disappear.

Or in my case I find out what’s causing the issue and work to fix it.

I don’t like how people think they have some horrible illness or start to panic when something is wrong with them, because it makes the matter so much worse. I had a cramp in my rips that made me worry I was having a heart attack, but logically speaking I’m not at risk for such a thing.

Then I remembered I had done a rough workout two days before and the cramp was from that.

Please acknowledge the smart-alecky hyperlink at the beginning of my post. Its making me giggle every time I reread this post for editorial purposes.

I should wrap this up…

This is one of me most recent obsession song. I love this song a lot because it tells the story of the series I was recently watching called I’m Quitting Heroing. It disguises itself as a comedy, but there’s a very epic plot in it and if you enjoy anime I recommend it.

Well, I suppose I just wanted to let you guys know I’m alive and well, and also still proudly Alone and Awesome. I hope you’re having a good weekend and looking forward to a new week. My goal this week is to not panic about stuff and just try to enjoy life a little. This week has been so stressful, so hopefully the new week will bring a little calm with it.

Oh! And thank you all for your continued support! The third book of the Eysheus Saga, About the Black Clouds book 3, is being prepped for publication. A personal matter slowed down the progress of the cover design so please be patient as these difficult times are affecting all of us.

Again, I hope the rest of your weekend is good. Take care~!

Ah… drat. I still have to write that prison break chapter…
