Deadlines Have Eaten Me
Popping in briefly to say that I have embraced my slagging schedule with vigor, and I am pounding out All The WordsTM. It's actually a good feeling, and a reminder that there is a cycle to dealing with shit as it happens. It also forced me to realize that, when other people have stuff going on, it gets harder to deal with that if you don't have a strong support network in place or if you've got multiple issues piling on.
As I mentioned last week, I've got some fun things coming up this summer that I plan on sharing with you. I've also got some Big NewsTM I've been working on for a year, year and a half that may come to fruition soon.
In fun news, I am plowing through The Originals Season 3, the spin-off of The Vampire Diaries, and I'm having a lot of fun with it. It's heart-breaking in a lot of ways, and I'm finding that I have no choice but to root for the Mikaelsons. Hah!
Back to the grind. Wait, was that my left toe? STUPID DEADLINES...

A Moment of Love for The Originals
By Monica Valentinelli on Jun 18, 2017 07:06 pm
Apologies for sporadic posts and MANW updates; I’ve been focused on getting stuff done and am back into a general routine. I plan on blogging more regularly next week; July may be a bit sporadic as well, if only because I have two conventions in July. The hustle is real! I really have to focus and shuffle more projects off into the ether, but I’ll be back soon.
Last week, I got caught up on The Originals; I’m now ready to start season 4. It can’t stream fast enough for me.
And now, a moment of love for Elijah.
