gridloreI've given up on my NaNoWriMo project. Simple fact is I got derailed by some health issues and the election. Also, I keep trying to make myself write science fiction, and it's really not my genre for writing. I may try my hand at urban fantasy. Without the pressure of meeting a 50,000 words in a month.
For those of you who paid into the Istanbul fund with the promise of being Tuckerized, I'll be in contact about the new project.

We have lives.

I myself have neurological depression and ADD, plus a full-time job, so it'd be stupid to even attempt that and I never have.
