I've been a bit busy working on a 3000-word story for a contest. There's a saying on the internet that goes something like this: When plan A doesn't work, there's the rest of the alphabet. I bring that up because I'm about on plan D. I'll keep working at it until I have to send it in. So that's where I've been.

I hope everyone had a good time lately. The weather here has been cold, sunny, windy, and rainy. Sometimes, all at once believe it or not. lol. Well, I wish everyone an enjoyable weekend. (y)
