  • So tired

    I know it’s only been two days since I started my new job, but it has honestly been kind of stressful worrying about everything I will have to do during this training class.

  • New Posting area

    I have decided to also post the first five chapters on fictionpress.com. I am debating special things for both figment and fictionpress. Possibly something along the lines of one site getting a sneak preview that the other doesn’t and vice versa. I am still working on that aspect but Chapters 1-3 are not up on

  • Anxiety is setting in

    I had a moment yesterday where I finally realized that this series is something I can actually achieve. Setting these goals and talking to Tori every day has been helping.
