Rather I’m meeting myself halfway. I took an extended break from my Short Stories Project because I managed to write twenty-two short stories before the beginning of May. Plus, I have been neglecting the other projects that I was working on. So, I took the first full and half week of May paying catchup. Now, I’m back to work on my Short Stories Project with a few updates on everything – both in and outside my life.

You know, I’m not usually one for giving myself praise but I am really proud of myself for so many things. This week has brought me in and out of my comfort zone with such lovely outcomes. There’s three I want to talk about, specifically, because it made me the happiest.
My brother has been checking up on me ever since I moved to China. And ever since both of us have been dealing with the COVID-19, we’ve been checking in with each other almost daily. And last week was no different especially given the recent development around the world.
Insomnia is really starting to become a reoccurring theme for this week. Even as we speak, I can’t seem to get a proper sleep pattern going. Only two days out of this week, I have been able to sleep and rise at a proper time. But, oddly enough, that’s not the only thing that is bothering me.
This coronavirus is really putting a damper in my life as well as my friends and family. Well, more their lives than mine because I’m still getting paid and I’m still able to write, which is my other source of income. So, I’m fine but my friends and family aren’t really doing so hot. Well…some of them, anyway.
This coronavirus is no joke. Let me tell you…
I haven’t been infected, thank God. However, it is affecting me because I can’t work and, since I’m an educator, my whereabouts are being monitored by my principal to a certain degree. And this had led me to come interesting ordeals.
March is my birth month and, eventually, I’ll celebrate it with my colleagues. But let’s just be happy that I’m done with transcribing Jaxton’s interview while he’s working to produce a kickass photoshoot for the book. I can’t wait to see this book on the site and your guys’ hands. And that’s just the beginning of the fun.
It’s coming, everyone. So many things are coming…and I couldn’t be happier!! Yes, I sound like a broken record but I just can’t help it. I’m too excited!! Just remember that you will be just as excited as I am when everything finally happens. I got four things coming that I’m trying to bring into the fold for the last month of 2019, and 2020 as a whole.
NYCC is next week and I can’t wait to spread my nerd wings for numerous reasons. One, it’s going to be my last NYCC for a good while because of my future employment in China. Two, to meet all my NYC/NYCC friends so I can tell them the good news. And three – most importantly of all, I can’t wait to see all the goodies that I will be acquiring for my friends. But that’s not the only thing that I’m antsy about…
