April: a great month!
- Writing wise, I stuck to my goal of writing for forty-five minutes per day, and posted over 15,000 words across my projects, including updates for Our Secrets and Our Silence (It All Became So Violent), “Life According to Detective Hounds“, and “Today’s Morning Ritual (Reality in M/s)“. Please let me know what you think in the comments sections of those works (and thank you to everyone who already has)!
- Next month, I’ll stick with forty-five minutes per day, with a possible stretch goal of one hour per day. Keep up with my progress on TrackBear!
- This month, I spoke on “The Ups & Downs of Service in a 24/7 M/s Dynamic” virtually with Joshua Tenpenny for M/s 301. Thank you so much to everyone who made this event happen, and everyone who joined us!
- We had one Las Vegas TNG (The Next Generation) event this month: one of our usual munches. Thanks to everyone who attended!
- In May, I’ll be hosting one of our usual munches on the nineteenth, if you happen to be 18-35 and local to the Vegas area.
- For the Neon Cactus Wordsmiths, I hosted three Discord write-ins this month, as well as our first monthly social at my place. Thanks to everyone who attended!
- Next month, I’ll be hosting two Discord write-ins on the fourteenth and twenty-eighth, as well as our social on the sixteenth. If you happen to be a Las Vegas based writer, join us for those and more!
Other updates from this month:
- Here are some of my favorite photos from this month.
- I read some great books this month, but overall I’ve been obsessed with the full Arc of a Scythe by Neal Shusterman. My goal is to spend at least fifteen minutes learning/reading every day. Keep up with my reading on StoryGraph!
- I’ve been thrilled to jump in to my work for the Leather Leadership Conference Board of Directors. I’m honored to be the 2025-2026 Secretary and Communications Chair.
- In April, I also went to some awesome events and spent some great time with family and friends. I even did my first escape room!
Thanks for everything this month; have a happy, healthy, and safe May!
