WHAT I’M UP TO …

Hockey season is officially over with the Hurricane’s Stanley Cup win. I don’t know if any of you are Vegas Golden Knight fans but I think we can all agree that seeing Carter Hart fall apart at the end was very satisfying after the league worked so hard to get a horrible person back on the ice. I wasn’t really rooting for Carolina either but I DID root for Seth Jarvis.

He’s an absolute ball of chaos with a delightful friend group and although he wasn’t who I pictured when I created Tanner’s character, the vibes are perfect.

This week was a bit of a bummer. Although my migraines are much better controlled than they were last summer, I am still dealing with very rough days when the weather shifts too drastically. It’s less skull-crushing pain, but still a ton of exhaustion, struggles with focus (fun fact, it makes my ADHD symptoms worse!), and a need for a lot more rest. 

After about a week and a half of trying to rest on migraine days without totally checking out completely, on Wednesday, I woke up with a migraine and could tell work just wasn’t happening that day. Thankfully, I don’t have light sensitivity, so I spent the day curled up in bed watching YouTube and coloring. I ate and did some light stretching and drank water and all of those other self-care things and by evening I felt better. I did a little tidying up and getting ready for the following day but that was about it.

Hoping for some stable weather next week! Send good vibes if you can. 

Want to know what else I’ve been up to?

Writing:

• Game Misconduct is really coming along. I need to sit down and hammer out how the final scenes will fall into place but I am aiming to have it wrapped up by the end of June. That puts me slightly behind schedule but still well within the window of being able to comfortably release it in early August as planned. 

Audio:

• James is doing a fabulous job recording Made to Order and we will be releasing that in mid-July. The pre-order for it is available now.

Shop:

• I have not signed and shipped books yet so if you’re waiting on anything, my apologies. I am doing my best! Hauling heavy book boxes around is not a migraine-friendly activity.

See you here next week!
