Let’s continue from yesterday’s post as you get to know me better. This is actually quite fun.
So, as we draw closer to the release of the first short story of the Short Story Project, I thought it would be fun to divulge some fun fact about yours truly. I have forty of these so I’m breaking it up into four posts. I hope you like it.

Learning that I’m not as spry as I use to be is a reality that I’m slowly coming to grips with. For the third in my life, I got sent home due to a medical inconveniences. First time was when I was a stocker for the Burlington Coat Factory warehouse when I had an ingrown hair that became a painful nuisance. Then, I got my wisdom teeth pulled due to its growing danger. Now, I had to deal this pesky discomfort in my throat that’s preventing me from teaching. The latter is something that got me really thinking about it.
My brother and one of my closest friends had a field day at my expense after what happened a week ago. Long story short, I didn’t learn from my lesson from a few months ago and tried to do so many things at once. So, yeah, I almost had a fainting episode in front of my students and I got send home because of it. It was an unsettling feeling but I should provide some backstory to this one.
I have to say…Phase Two is going pretty smooth. Much smoother than Phase One, let me tell you. However, I wanted to tell you that everybody is already well aware of my path of my Short Story project so I’m not going to talk about it anymore until the first story is released. Besides, I do have other projects that I’m working on now that I got my short stories written.

This past month has been quite the rollercoaster. For starters, I finished all my short stories and t got them all typed up and ready to be edited. But that only made the next steps that much more crazy because, now, I’m on Phase Two which works back and forth with Phase Three. And, even funnier, that’s not the only thing that I have to endure.
There was no way I teach these kids without laughing at their antics. There are so adorable when they are being…well…kids. But there was a situation that took all of us by surprise. Spoiler alert! I tried my hardest not to laugh as the event unfolded at the time. Actually, I’m still trying not to laugh as I type this out.
Hey everybody,
I just want to make a quick announcement that my website is being redesigned. So! Don’t be surprised that the extreme beautiful changes that you’ll see at the end of the month. The web designer that I hired has proven to be quite the artist and I have absolute faith in his ability to impress you all. I can’t wait to show you all.
Now, please, don’t forget to follow me on my social media platforms (Twitter, Instagram, and Goodreads) which are on the right side of my web page. Also, I do love hearing suggestions of what books to read outside of my norm (Science fiction and Fantasy) as I am a part of the Goodreads’ reading challenge for 2020. My goal is to read 103 books this year and I’ve completed that goal. However, I’m far from done with the challenge and I’m probably end up reading 120 before the year is out.
There is so much work that I have completed for my pending release of my SS Project and my teaching responsibilities is actually stabilizing it now that the summer vacation is coming to an end. So, I go back to having two days off a week and I think I can get all of this short stories typed up and send off to editors before the end of the month. But that’s a story for another time. Right now, I want to get into the second part of what I happened to me.
I am so proud and excited to announce the grand opening of a new podcast that my good friend, Brett Walker, has released to the public.
