Well my classes are all online now. I’ve started camp nano working on These Haunted Hills. Now I’m faced with cleaning this apartment (especially after a mouse paid me a visit in the wee hours this morning) and to start on my research paper even though no one knows when I’ll be presenting it (this fall, this time next year). Ah well, at least I’ll have time to do this right!

“You’d do that?”
“Someone has to be the guinea pig.” Brendan scowled a bit, a kick to the emotional gut hitting him out of nowhere.
“Brendan, are you okay?”
If you’d like to play along, Rainbow Snippets is a Facebook community where we post up 6 sentences of one of our LGBT stories every Saturday. It’s been fun and you can find it here. Be sure to check out all the offers! It’s been a great supportive group!

Josh’s excitement is so cute!
(Sorry to hear about the mouse! We’ve had a few mouse sightings on my block too, little jerks.)

Thanks. Josh is such a fan boy (yeah my cat passed a couple months ago. The mice wasted no time.)
