My monthly newsletter isn't very monthly anymore. This realization caused me stress. But then I had an epiphany.

Win-Win! |

However, I have no more time to bide. I must get the manuscript for OMEGA CRAG ready to submit to my editor. ⏲️⏰🕰️⌛️ |

On top of everything else pulling my attention away from writing responsibilities, there's another small distraction on the way. I'm about to become a grandmother for the first time. My first granddaughter is due any day. However, I will get OMEGA CRAG completed—for her. |
