“Daddy vampire.”

Today is a… day.

And that’s what I’m going to say about that. Read it accordingly.

Sadly, lads, my Vampire Chronicles reread has been put on hold whilst I read over a 190k word submission that we received the other day. The good news is that it’s REALLY good and hits on all the tropes that I enjoy. The bad news is that I still have to get through Queen of the Damned. Do you see where I lose and where I win?

My head is very foggy and tired today and I’m having a lot of trouble staying on track with things. I don’t know if it’s depression, my fibro flaring up or just being tired from being up so early, but it’s annoying as hell. I just want to be sharp and clear and fly through my tasks in fever dream mode.

Work wise, I have… started another short story. Or I think it’s gonna be a short story. It has a similar plot line to a story that I have in EXEQUIAL, so when finished I will have to determine which story is the stronger and better fit. The other one will be put back for a while and then maybe released on my website or newsletter. They’re both incredibly graphic and disturbing and cathartic.

Today, instead of working on that story–I have to be in the right state of mind to do it– or even working on the first novella I have going, I have instead decided to start on a… second novella. It’s a ghost story because ghost stories are my favorite stories. Haunted houses and what not. It’s got some stuff that is upside down in it, though. We can’t all write the same ghost story.

Mental health wise… eh. I can feel the despair and anxiety clawing at the back of my head like some obnoxious cat, but what’s new about that? I miss the days where my head was more put together. I miss when this wasn’t a constant thing always battering at my door.

How is it already 2pm?
