starry sky with comet. Text overlay reads: “The moon and stars were always there for her. Little lighthouses calling her home when she was lost. They grounded her, allowed a moment to catch her breath. And now, with the passing of Comet Hale-Bopp, she had another hopeful light to keep an eye out for... It was an ancient sign from the heavens that signified a new beginning, or perhaps an end of an era. ‘Everything will be okay,’ she whispered.” BLOODSTAINS BY GASLIGHT

Healthy Boundaries: I am cool with following each other on social media, but not sharing passwords. I am comfortable kissing and holding hands, but not in public right now. I am okay with texting occasionally, but not constantly. I am comfortable with some touching, but I am not ready to have sex. Unhealthy Boundaries: I need to know where you are always. 8 If you love me, you won’t spend time with other people. I need you to stop talking to other guys or girls because you might cheat, and I get jealous. I can’t stand to see you struggling like this, so I need to help you change.

In 2024, In Excess of Dark released (twice!), I wrapped edits on Bloodstains by Gaslight, & published 2 short stories. To be honest, I didn't write much, because every ounce of my energy was required elsewhere as I navigated an incredibly challenging time for my family in the first half of the year. 2024 was a transformative year for me with unquantifiable successes that I wont list here. What I can say is that I've never entered a new year with this amount of optimism, peace, and determination.
