Mostly Catching Up

So I've been sick all week and a bit remiss in posting stories. If you're wondering what's had my attention (other than aches, sneezes, and a sore throat), take a look at the following links.

Also, no updated formatting from Sarah yet on Staked!. I messagd her last night, and she replied with "M,T, or W" and she even added a smiley face, grrrr, grumble...

In the meantime, I am on call this weekend, but since last night's re-reading of the progress I made on Chapter 7 during my free Tuesday after Labor Day weekend (yeah, that's a convoluted sentence, more coffee, GULP), I am rearin' and ready to go - in between social media postings for two newspapers, addressing any breaking news, church on Sunday, navigating the 400 plus emails begging for attention in my former work account, and digging through some more boxes in the living room (my new storage shed, LOL).

Seriously, I AM planning on writing.
