looks up from my piles of papers and drops my headphones to around my neck Oh, hello there! I guess this means I officially forgot I have a blog, huh? slides glasses up Hehe. Whups?
In all reality, this has been a pretty accurate description of how I've been lately, what with rushing to prep for NaNo, writing two different plots at once, and trying to keep up with all my other commitments . . . absent-minded professor syndrome.
That's why I decided it was about time I owed you guys a bit of a warning . . .
I will not be posting in November.
I thought about this for a while, hemming and hawing, going back and forth on it. But then the reality that I'm writing two stories this NaNo came and smacked me upside the head, and I decided . . . I really don't need one more thing to keep up with. You guys deserve the best I can give you, and sleep-deprived scatter-brained running-on-coffee-only me isn't that. I will be back in December, though, with a fun announcement involving ducks, contracts, and a grumpy-sunshine trope. wiggles eyebrows But, you didn't hear that from me.
That being said, I will be still keeping up with my monthly newsletter, in which I hope to have a bunch of journal-type updates from throughout the month. If you aren't signed up yet to the chaos that is a monthly subscription to my brain, you can do that here! https://mailchi.mp/c1274944c2ea/deigan-marie

Hello Deigan! I completed the steps for the blind date with a book 🙃 I think that this year I will be doing nano but for writing draft two of my book instead of starting another project. It is always good to take a break enjoy it!
Hey, Deigan, I think I'm going to be doing NaNo this year, too! I've always wanted to, but I've never felt prepared. I'm just going to give it a go this year, and we'll see what happens. I'm okay with stopping if things don't go well, but I'm excited for the new experience.
Enjoy your break! (Also, I did everything to enter the drawing! 😄)
"sleep-deprived scatter-brained running-on-coffee-only me" I'm dying this is so relatable 🤣🤣
Have a nice break, Deigan!
