Well, I’m a writer & AuDHD, cause I need to be a hyper focused contradiction with a questionable Google search history & a caffeine addiction 🤷🏼‍♀️

My advice in three words:

Don't give up.
Don't give up.
Don't give up.
Don't give up.
Don't give up.
Don't give up.
Don't give up.
Don't give up.
Don't give up.

I am doing a piss-poor job of updating here lol apologies!

The last 8 weeks has been mostly just me letting my body recover from major surgery. Also, kinda getting used to a new nearly pain-free normal, which is a trip, tbh 🙃

Still querying, still chasing the dream 💫

Kip Ramsey is a bit obsessed with the VGK cold case. But it’s been 30 years since the last vic was taken…or has it?

Is The Van Gogh Killer picking up where he left off? Can Kip prove it before the next vic is taken?

So, realized I haven’t updated here in a while…almost a month? 😬 I do have a good reason tho ☝🏻

I had major surgery last Monday. It was laparoscopic surgery, but a doozy. Thankfully, my surgeon is so amazing! It’s only been ~10 days & man, I haven’t felt this good since 2018, when I got sick 😂

Totally random & not writing related: I have the 4K of my comfort werewolf flick Dog Soldiers (2002), which also comes with the high def Bluray.

It was an upgrade from my DVD, but I’ve never played the Bluray, despite the special features being on it. The 4K is IMMACULATE, btw. 10/10 recommend. 1/2

I have taught 3/5 of my cats how to “sit” on command. This feels like a new cat lady level unlocked for me lol

The other two don’t participate purely because they’re picky about the type of treat I use 🙄 Spoiled.
