February Wrap Up

For being the shortest month of the year, did February drag on for anyone else? I mean, jeez!

I have been writing…. A LOT. Like, seriously, I’m pretty sure there isn’t a day this month where I didn’t write something. Which is good! We also had a lot of upheaval at work this month, so I didn’t read as much as I would have liked to. But alas.

I published two short stories on Patreon in February, one of which is FREE to download! I highly recommend you subscribe and read all of them, but I’m biased. If you can’t subscribe, you can buy them on my Gumroad a month after they release on Patreon!

  1. February dragged on for me, yes, and I have no idea what to expect from March. I’ve driven myself into the ground the first four days of it, and I’m going to try to be a little easier on myself the rest of the month. So we’ll see. I have a leaky toilet currently, and the handle just snapped off my oven. IDK. I’m hoping it’ll be easy fixes. :/

    1. Oh Jenny! Life can’t seem to give you a break this year! Here’s to many fluffy days ahead!
