Sweet Endless Terror: An Anthology of Nightmares, my 2nd novel, passed through the publishing process already! I'm so happy it's out now! It went through really quickly, too. There are 2 reviews that it goes through with Smashwords. The first one is mechanical, and it checks to see if the formatting is correct. Then, it spits out a bunch of different ebook formats, so it can be read on several devices. That usually only takes a few minutes. After it's approved through this stage, it goes through a manual one. Where someone actually goes through it. They said normally this stage takes about a week. My 1st novel, Alliance, took about that long. This time it was approved in under 14 hours. Not even a day! I'm astonished at how fast it went through...I'm having it as a preorder until March 4th. There are only 3 places online that'll be selling it as a preorder: Apple, Barnes and Noble, and Kobo. Smashwords has it listed in their 'premium' catalog, but people can only download a 20% free sample, and they'll see the date when it'll finally be released. Those 3 places that you can order it from, actually put it up this morning. So, it's out even with them! (It's only been 2 and a half days since I submitted this novel... ) I'm getting more and more excited about it!
It's an anthology of 12 short stories based on my recurring nightmares. I've always had nightmares. I had a friend in the past who, after telling her close to 2 of the actual nightmares, said I must be possessed. I don't think I am. I told another person about them more recently, and they suggested I write them down. Then, I thought why not make short stories based on them? Hence, this was born. It was an interesting experience to say the least. #novel #published #horror #anthology #sweetendlessterror

Health Update
Wow! My last post was back in April! The cancer stuff has essentially taken over my life since. I hope to someday get back to drawing. However, that might look different now, considering I broke my right shoulder in March. I have been taking pics, just not as many. I’ve mostly been posting to Instagram, and either didn’t really feel like a lot of it was good enough for here, or honestly...forgot about dA. Hope to post my pics more often here in the future. Hopefully, I’ll at least have a pic of my menorah all lit up like every year during Hanukkah.
With the cancer, I had a radical hysterectomy (they took everything out) bac

It’s been a while since I posted to this. I broke my right shoulder on March 10th. Had surgery where they put in a metal plate and screws on March 19th. Still recovering from that. Haven’t gotten passed the 1st stage of physical therapy yet, and hopefully soon I’ll see an actual physical therapist. This in itself has been a lot to deal with, and partially why I haven’t been posting things to many places.
Then, I noticed the swelling in my feet had spread all the way up to my kneecaps, and was much worse. The swelling had been there for 2.5 weeks. I got so fed up with it, I went to Urgent Care.
Was there for ~4 hours.
March/Health Update
I probably should do monthly updates on here...Anyways, happy St. Patrick's Day! My family celebrates it purely culturally. I'm part Irish. We usually have corned beef, potatoes, cabbage, and maybe carrots all boiled together for dinner. (We also use the spices in the corned beef package.) I can smell it right now. Good and simple stuff. We also have raisin soda bread. I love it! There are a few variations of it locally. We got a sweeter version along with our usual more savory one. That'll be interesting to try.
My health hasn't been great lately. New colitis-related symptoms have sprung up. Things like stiff and painful joints and muscles,
3 More Days...
Until my birthday! Yay! It's been a long time since my last post on here. Almost a year. I plan to be more active in the future. I celebrated a little early this weekend. Probably will do more celebrating on the actual day and next weekend. I ate at a nice Thai place Friday night. It's one of my new fave places. I got chicken satay as an appetizer, panang beef curry for an entree, and a banana rice cake with coconut ice cream and peanuts sprinkled on top for dessert. It was really good, and felt fancy enough for a birthday thing. I want to go to the Cheesecake Factory either on my b-day or next weekend. They have such a variety of food, and I
