It May Be Time to Post...

Hey! How are you today? 

OMG, I can't believe it's been over a month since my last post. 😳 I mean, I didn't stop adding reviews but I haven't posted an actual update in a while. So, here I am. LOL.

Can you believe there was another cruise outbreak? Of course you can. Personally, I can't understand how people are still going on these things after what happened at the beginning of the pandemic. Humans, man. They never learn. Anyway, I hope the experts are right and the situation doesn't turn into anything bad.

During the last month I worked on a collaborative short story with the awesome Wayne Fenlon. It's one of the stories that will be featured in his upcoming collaborative anthology and I had a fun time writing our creepy tale together. Can't wait for everyone to check it out.

The anthology is called, WHERE THE MOOD LEADS, and the release date is June 22.

What else have I been doing? Well, this week I wrote a brand new short story that's been circling my brain for a few weeks. So when I sat down on Monday afternoon and wrote it on my laptop, the words spilled out pretty quickly. That's usually what happens when I let an idea/story simmer for a while. After I wrote the first draft I got so caught up in the story that I ended up completing the second and third drafts as well.

Actually, my awesome husband read it today and gave me some great feedback. He even came up with the title!! I'm so happy that he enjoyed my bleak tale. Now I plan to read it one last time on my Paperwhite. But that can wait until Monday.

The word count is currently: 3,630.

In between reading and short story writing, I've been playing a game that we received exactly a month ago. You might have heard of it, it's called TOMODACHI LIFE: LIVING THE DREAM and I'm hooked. HOOKED! It's a very addictive game because you make your own Miis and help them have a lovely life on the island. You also get to create a lot of other stuff. Being a creative person, I find the freedom very refreshing. It's exciting because I also love decorating the island. The coolest thing is that no one will ever have the same island design, or any of the characters.

It's a fantastic and very unique experience. It eats up many hours because there's so much to do, and I have over 40 Miis. 😁

I seriously LOVE this game and look forward to spending even more hours unlocking cool stuff. Did I mention that I have a bunch of married couples and some of these guys had kids? Yep. Six kids were born on the island and there'll probably be more. Yeah, I'm obsessed with the TOMODACHI LIFE.

Well, as you know it's autumn here in Oz. It's cold in the morning and at night and the days are a lot shorter, but at least the weather hasn't been too bad. That helps keep the seasonal blues at bay.

I guess that's about it for now. Just keeping busy and enjoying the things that bring me happiness. Spending time with my lovely husband, writing, going for walks, reading, buying books... All the good stuff.

Have a great weekend!
