I vowed to finish my vampire novel this weekend…and I did!!!

Sitting at 83k words, the first draft is finished. It needs editing, but my trilogy coming out with Oliver Heber Books next year is DONE!

I am so happy and excited. 🥰

My half of the lemon pepper salmon, broccoli, and sweet potato I made for me and my grandma tonight!

Healthy eating never tasted so good. 😊

Writing out my Christmas cards tonight to send them in the mail tomorrow!

Years ago, I sent them to my friends online — I had over 200 cards. 😬 Now I just do family and local close friends.

It’s too expensive, but I wish I could send a card to everyone!!!

I know someone out there needs this message:

You are NOT a burden.
You are a gift.
A joy.
A valued human being.
And SO loved!!!

Please never think otherwise! 🤗

Showered, did laundry, and made the bed. Now to relax!

Have a good night, all. ♥️

My grandpa said that in the aftermath of World War 2, when he had six siblings and no money, one charity helped them survive.

The Ottawa Mission. I donate in my grandpa’s name ever since he passed in 2023.

Thank you, @ottawamission.bsky.social!

Between blinding migraines, panic attacks, depression, and chronic fatigue, some days it’s VERY hard to write.

I wish I could do more, but my body doesn’t always let me.

All the books I’ve published already? I am so proud of myself, knowing how hard it’s been. ♥️

After sleeping most of the day, my migraine’s a bit better and I can see again. It’s been a rough week for headaches.

Made chocolate chip cookies to cheer myself up!
