Hey friends, I’ll cut to the chase: I gotta take some time off again. I’m on a new medication, and while it’s helping me in certain ways, it’s making it very difficult to write.

Thanks for bearing with me, and feel free to keep commenting and sending in submissions and other messages. I love y’all, take care.
