| I wasn't able to get my cataract surgery because I can't afford the out-of-pocket expenses. It's kind of hard to see sometimes, things get blurry for me. I want to apologize for not answering my reviews lately. I want everyone to know that I am still reading them. It's so nice to see them going up with their reviews of me. I am working on getting enough points to at least get a three-month Premium Membership. I currently have 473,980 Gift Points. If anyone would like to contribute to my Membership, that would be great. I've tried to get a Premium Membership when I renewed last time. I just couldn't get there. It takes 849,000 Gift Points for a three month Membership. I hope that everyone is having a nice day. |
| I have been busy lately; a lot has been going on. I am working on the NaNoWriMo Writing Competition that I entered last year, "Metallic Alloys & Bombastic Implications." Even though NaNoWriMo has been cancelled, I still want to complete the 50,000 words to complete a novel. I have exciting news to share when I'm able to do so. My thoughts are always with you. I am going to have cataract surgery in January 2026. I have been struggling with my eyesight. I miss writing, but right now, things are a bit fuzzy and blurry. I haven't forgotten you. I am working on completing the remaining gift points I need to reach the end of August. I have a ways to go, but I am working on it. I love you and want to wish you well in your writing endeavors.

| I revised my poem "Skyrocket and Daisy" |
| I am going to start adding to my piece "Metallic Alloys and Bombastic Implications" that I was doing for the NaNoWriMo Contest last year. I heard that NaNoWriMo has been cancelled. If this is true, I am sorry to hear that. What happened? I will be getting back into writing some reviews pretty soon. I have been working on some things that have kept me busy, plus, my eyesight isn't the best. I will be having cataract surgery in January of 2026. I will appreciate all your prayers regarding this. I am a bit nervous about it, but the people that have it done, tell me that there isn't much to it. |
| NaNoWriMo fell on its own sword. They had a few controversies and management was questioned, and made some decisions people felt went against what it was designed for, plus alienating a chunk of the user groups. In that vein, places like WdC and a heap of Discord servers and a few other groups have taken the mantle on. |
I have update my poem
|
I have revised an earlier piece emtitled, "Embattled by Controversy"
|
I have revised my story, "Skyscraper"

| I commented on a review that was given to me on a piece I wrote entitled " A Time For Giving Thanks." There were several writers' who gave comments also.. I am happy when I can make others enjoy what I have written. It isthe greatest feeling when someone can understand what I wrote. I hope you have miracles of healing, friendships, understanding, good thoughts, good memories, and happiness that will last you throughout the remainder of your life.

Official NaNoWriMo is dead; but, it lives on here and elsewhere. The concept is still valid.
