I've been busier than ever and making moves. I just finished the Writer's Digest Retreat in London and the RMFW conference, where I made new contacts and gained new opportunities. Writing is tough, y'all. It's networking, learning, and creating. Big things are coming.

I'm working through these last two weeks of school, but I wrote the first 1k words on the new project. Someone said it sounds like The Handmaid's Tale meets Tron 🤔

I figured it was time. Time for a lot of things. I'm working on a new short story featuring a cursed object. I'm kind of loving taking breaks from my science fiction and fantasy novels by writing short dark stories.
I also finally left Threads for good.

Not much going on in the writing area lately. I started school and am getting oriented on that, finishing reading a book, and looking forward to starting a new book for a friend.
