Things are Happening!

Well. Yep. Things are certainly happening!

A lot has happened in a week. I started a new story, and it's been going well. I now have an awesome editor. And Noah's been busy with his own work, both on Gay Authors, and with his little podcast project he's been wanting to start. For some reason, after having a weekend off, working a singular shift, and now having another evening off tonight, I'm pooped! Bushwacked. Exhausted! I should be going to bed, but my fingers are dancing and I can't make them stop!

Cernunnos has been a success! A week in and it now has five chapters and over two thousand views. I'm calling it a win...at least until Rising of the Shadows gets posted. Cyn will get left in Vincent's dust, I'm sure of it! I'm almost addicted to writing this new story. The chapters are shorter, and I'm finding it easier to write. Not saying LitS and RitS aren't fun to write, but a chapter can take me several days to finish. A chapter in Cernunnos can take me...a couple hours? I'm almost regretting the chapter sizes of my prized book and its sequel. If you're reading this and have no idea what I'm talking about, what are ya waiting for? If you like were-creatures, anything fantasy, or just a good lovey-dovey romance, get reading! 

Noah's been a busy little bee. Well, I say little. He's half a foot taller than me, but that's beside the point. He's picking up on his poetry, but still needs his hand held when it comes to posting. And now we finally have the equipment and software running for his dream hobby:  a podcast. Dear Lord, have mercy on me. He wanted a podcast to make his millions of dollars, and I popped that bubble with world's largest thumb-tack. POP! "Honey...you ain't going to make money on a podcast." But he is going to try nevertheless. Being his husband, I have been roped into this adventure, which is fine. I want to be a comedian some day, and what better way to get started than by burying your husband in his own podcast? It's gonna be a great time. He was clueless on what to do in regards to segments, so I suggested random Top Five lists. Noah, the ever so innocent angel, was confused by my logic, so I gave an example. "Top Five Worst Vacation Destinations!" Sadly...I only came up with two before he had to go to work. 

  1. Utah. Nothing against the residents of Utah, but y'all got nothing to do. Your state's tourism website had two tabs that made me giggle:  Places to Go, and Things to Do. Being a curious little snot, I hovered over Things to Do, and my inner Boy Scout mentality cackled at the sight of 'Backpacking.' Noah...poor Noah, he's just a little city boy. He had no idea what backpacking was, and I nearly fell off the couch. If this is a primary highlight of what a state has to offer for tourism...in the wise words of Nicole Byer, "Ya done!"
  2. A Motel 6. Any of them, regardless of city. 

Oh, and did I mention that I now have an editor! He's awesome! I feel like such an adult having him! He makes me want to, I don't know, send him a fruit basket, or some other adult-like gift of generosity. I'll let the main page of Rising in the Shadows reveal who he is, and y'all can thank him then. He has put in the work! Maybe in the future, after the In The Shadows series comes to a close in a year or two, I can have him tackle Love in the Shadows and let him make a complete fool of my mad typin' skillz. 

Well, I'm tired! I'm going to bed! Sound off your Top Five Worst Vacation Destinations in the comments, and we'll steal them for our podcast! Toodles!

You were ready for this blog post @Story Reader! I literally just closed my laptop and opened up my mobile browser!

The UK boasts quite a few tired seaside resorts that might qualify. For example, Scarborough is the place to go if you want to get attacked by huge seagulls, or Skegness, where the sea is piss-coloured and the weather can kindly be described as 'bracing'. As a child, I spent many day trips at Leigh-on-Sea, which might be better called Leigh-on-Mud.
