For those of you in the Sates - Happy Memorial Day weekend! I hope you have a great relaxing extended weekend.
This weekend, please try to remember that we celebrate Memorial Day as the closing of World War II. Victory Day elsewhere, celebrating the same, was earlier this month. These holidays are important to remember - especially now more than ever. WWII was a HUGE fight against fascism, tyranny, and genocide - much of what many of us around the world still face today. Remember those brave men and women who rose up and fought such evils to give us all a better life. May we never have to come to such extreme measures ever again.
Now, on to the update! π
I am slowly plugging away at the next chapter. I am finding I am having less and less private time to sit and write. Not only is work becoming a bear, but this new living arrangement I am in makes it difficult to find any quality alone time for just thinking, let alone writing, on such matters.
I do get ideas in my head at various time, and I can occasionally jot them down - generally, as I lay in bed at night trying to sleep. I keep my laptop in my bedroom for such instances. I do sometimes find an hour or two free where I can get a couple paragraphs written or if I'm lucky, and entire page! But it's not enough. Sorry.
Good news and bad news...
Context: My roommates, who are dear friends, and I came together to consolidate bills and save money in this horrible economy. Was going well and being social with them was good for my introverted loner self.
The Bad News: My roommates can't keep from fighting which affects all of us. π So, we're all going our separate ways at the end of our lease towards the end of the year. π’ That will mean more stress and more money out of my pocket for moving and I'll be living on my own once more and not saving as much money as I want or need. π’π’
The Good News: Same thing, really - I'll be on my own once again and will have more alone time to sit, think, plan, and write. So, I should be able to get back to the normal schedule of getting these chapters out in 6 weeks (give or take).
So, in the meantime (pretty much for the rest of this year)... thanks for your patience and understanding as I work through this. Please know I am always wanting to get more written and out to you all. I have NO plans on stopping or leaving this story unfinished.
