*blows dust off the blog*
Okay, it's been a while since I posted anything other than guest blogs, and it's even been a while since I posted one of those now, so...somehow it's now August? I don't know what happened to July. I had big plans for July! And now it's gone and those plans remain unfulfilled. My main plan was to finish my current Naomi Clark project, but that has been a plan since roughly March, so you can see how well I'm doing there. Still, August is looking promising...She says, hopefully...
The main reason I've been quiet over here is that I've been focusing on Naomi Clark stuff. The other reason is that two weeks ago, we had to have Remic put to sleep as his cancer returned, and I really just couldn't deal with that and everything that normal real life requires at the same time. The day job has been manic with grant applications and audits to deal with, my stress and anxiety levels have been high, and I just needed to put aside everything that wasn't vital. Unfortunately, that included writing which is vital to me, but doesn't pay my bills. So for the past fortnight I've just concentrated on being sad and getting the day job under control.

Whilst I'm not "over" losing Rem yet, I do recognise that the longer I put off writing, the harder it will be to pick it up again. So I'm back at work on that Naomi Clark project and gunning to wrap it up this month. After that, I'll get cracking on Wild Blood MC 3, and I'm expecting edits for MR RED in August too, so there's plenty to keep me going. Staying busy is usually the best way to cope with grief for me, so that's what I'm aiming to do. Hopefully that will include more regular blogging!
