I live in a cloud castle, have a fire breathing gargoyle for a pet, and I'm served by two minions while I leisurely take my tea on the patio.

In truth, I live in my head most days. My dog thinks he's a fire breathing gargoyle when in fact, he's a 9-pound ball of fur with a Napoleon complex. And most days I'm serving my minions - as all parents usually do. My life is a hectic, chaotic, beautiful mess that I wouldn't change for the world.

Hello everyone!
Just a quick greeting and to let you all know that I'll be updating as many of my stories as possible this weekend.

I've just double updated This Alternate Reality isn't a Game.

For those who aren't familiar with it, it is a gamerLit / RPGLit story about four championship virtual gamers who are forced to go to an alternate reality where magic is real.
IF you would like to check it out, you can click here:

If not, stay tuned this weekend for Knights and Magic AND Daring Enchantment to be updated. (if I get to it, Colorful Goth too!) <3 much love to all, and stay safe out there!

Woot! I managed to update Daring Enchantment and Colorful Goth today! I'm so happy.

For those who don't know, Colorful Goth shares a world with Daring Enchantment and Cameos happen. BUT Daring Enchantment is most definitely a mature gay romance fantasy adventure with a triad. Colorful goth is a fantasy that has around a pg-13 rating and the main character is a mess of a girl who likes a boy and has a LOT of slapstick sort of humor. It's sort of my side-side-SIDE project and a fun light read.

Anyways, I hope to get a Knights and Magic episode finished this weekend. Wish me luck!

so, a few days ago, my little gremlin tried to jump up on something that was as tall as my hips. He didn't stick the landing and managed to damage his back when he fell.
Right now, he can't move very good. He can barely move his back legs and is in a lot of pain. The vet said he should recover but the next 5 - 7 days I'll be away from the computer taking care of my little minion.
I promise I won't be away for months. I'm just not going to be in the right frame of mind to do much until he's moving about better. (He's as much a family member as my kids)
<3 Thank you for being understanding, and I'll see you all soon.

Thank you everyone! <3!!! He's slowly getting better. No jumping any time soon, but most of the pain is gone and he's even able to lift his back legs again. (A seriously important thing for a male dog lol!) I'm back to working on some writing and should be posting soon :)

I'm so glad you are ok! I hope you and your family stay healthy! <3 ...Although it must be hard to have everybody at home all the time. I had a hard time at some point with just me and my partner being together all the time LOL. :D Like... I love you, plz go away! :D

Well, it has been a lot of ups and downs but I'm hanging in here and this week has been great. Luckily both me and my partner have been healthy.

How are you doing? Did the Dr give you any news?

hey, sorry for such a late reply. the tests came back inconclusive, so I'm beginning to think its my overactive immune system. It doesn't seem to want to go away though and is driving me batty.
I'll be back soon. I'm actually living in my living room right now, lol before my rash and the swelling etc got really bad I decided to rip up the carpet in my room to put down a paper bag (looks like rock) floor. It's obviously taking waaay longer than it should have because I haven't been able to work on it much. The kids are helping loads.
also, there are 5 of us living here, it is total chaos, not very conducive to writing when you can't shut everyone out, and since I started staying in the living room, EVERYONE seems to think it means "hang out time!" lol not that I really mind. it's kind of nice when teens want to hang out with their parental unit. XD

<3! Ty! He's putting me back on hydroxychloroquine. boo. It is used for immune issues. I'm expecting it to be on back order for awhile since its name keeps coming up in correlation to covid

still haven't heard back on the biopsy lol, but I am feeling much better (still itchy but swelling is mostly gone) XD
Zor
Zor Apr 17, 2020
Well I am happy to hear you're feeling better at least :D
And that really sucks... Just stay strong TL! Medications can be a pain XD But as long as it helps you that's good XD
Let's just hope this is the end of it and you will be back to full health soon :D

I had a biopsy on my arm yesterday. new meds coming soon, and the swelling has started to go down so I can move my elbows (and wrists) again. A few more days and I should be back in business. :) I miss you guys, and I miss writing for you. <3 <3 <3

Just a quick heads up. I've been having some weird allergic reaction the past few days. I'm all itchy and have little blisters that are driving me insane. I can't even bend my elbows all the way because of swelling. I have no clue what's causing this. It's not bug bites because the rest of the family is spot free. I really hope it isn't shingles... O.O curse you auntie google. never look up symptoms on google.

I'd love to say, "but the show must go on!" but I can't concentrate. I get three words in and run for benadryl, rinse and repeat.

I have a doc appointment tomorrow. After I get some medication to help fix this crazy, I'll be back in business and will start updating again.

Thanks for understanding! <3 <3 <3

Thank you, It's driving me insaneeeeeeee! the doc ordered me 3 meds. I get them soon. ; _ ; close to 60 bucks. but I don't care as long as it fixes me. IF it is not gone in 7 days I have to go in to have it biopsied. cross your fingers.

Gamers and Magic is now on Amazon Kindle. You can pre-order it and it will be available for download January 4th. (it's already in the system, but due to my lack of Kindle experience, I couldn't get it to release sooner, sorry.)
The price for the kindle version is 3.99 USD.

it's a long link, and I'm sorry! I don't want to use a shortener thingumy. You never know when those types of links will break.
www.amazon.com/dp/B083CRSQM5/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=TL+Shay&qid=1577920753&s=books&sr=1-1

I want to also mention that I'll be removing Gamers and Magic from tapas at the end of February so I can make it a Kindle Unlimited book. I want to give everyone who doesn't want to own a copy or who doesn't have the KU a chance to finish reading it before it's gone.
If you know someone who you think should read it read it, please holler at them now! <3!!!

Also, there will be a paperback edition out in the next day or two, it will be 9.99 USD if you prefer paper. Thank you for reading!
