Time “Off” For The Holidays: My December Writing Update

December 26, 2024

Let’s keep things short and sweet today. After all, I am technically “off” from work (at least, that’s what I tell myself). Believe it or not, this workaholic has been maintaining healthy work boundaries this month.

After spending the night in the ER, waiting for a doctor to look at my busted foot, I sure am glad I decided to share these unpublished Flasher stories to the blog. Luckily, all I have is a sprain, but I’m tired and sore, and grateful that this month’s short
