🌧 Weather in Homer Glen, IL
As November settles in, Homer Glen is embracing the cool, rainy weather. It’s one of those days where you want to stay inside with a warm cup of tea and dive into your work, which is exactly what I’m doing. The rain is setting the mood for some serious reflection—and, as always, I’m making the most of it.

💭 The Waiting Game Continues
Last Saturday, I submitted my query for In The Devil's Wake. Now, it’s all about the waiting game. While it’s nerve-wracking, I’m focusing on what I can control—keeping the momentum going, tackling Marie Kelly’s new arc, and staying organized for the future.

💭 The Unexpected Evolution of Marie Kelly
As I reflect on Marie Kelly, I’ve come to realize something crucial: the story wasn’t done back in March. Marie’s past, something I hadn't fully explored, is now taking center stage. Events from 30 years ago are directly shaping her present, and I’m adding a new layer to the narrative—10,000 words of new material to deepen the emotional weight of her journey. This shift feels right, and I’m excited to dive into these new layers.

💭 Tax Docs: All Set for 2025
I’m happy to say that I’ve finished organizing my tax documents—I'm officially ready for tax time! It's always a task that feels looming, but now that everything is squared away, I can move forward without stress and focus on what’s next.

Thanks for following along as I continue this journey. I appreciate your support as always, and I can’t wait to share more soon.
