Thank you to everyone for your words of support after last weekend's unwanted adventure with the burst pipe. I am happy to say after calling approximately 15 plumbers, I was able to get the pipe replaced and the water turned back on. Apparently everyone and their uncle had a burst pipe, so all the plumbers were booked solid. I literally had one ask "can you wait until next week?" No word yet from my insurance company, but I'm sure it's a similar problem to with the plumber. I'm probably going to need to remove the ceiling to replace the soaked insulation, so more work still needs to be done. While I want to clear any projects with my insurance first, I have scheduled a fix-it company to come next week to give me an estimate. I'm trying to be patient since it's not an emergency, but if I don't hear anything soon I get to start making more phone calls. Ugh. I'm a millennial. It should be illegal to force us to use a phone for calls. LOL I have made progress on writing, which is a nice change. Those of you who receive my newsletter have already learned about the new story I'm working on. For everyone else, guess what? I'm working on a new story. It's titled The Chef, and it's about a very talented chef who gets accidentally recruited to join a bunch of fighters on a quest. Some political intrigue, a slow burn love story, and lots and lots of cooking. It's a ton of fun to write. I'm not actually certain how long this story will be, nor am I certain it will be stand alone. There are going to be two parts to this story, but I don't yet know whether they would be better served as one 60k word book, or split into two 30ks. I'll have a better idea once I get further into the story. I've written about 8k so far, so there's still a long way to go. I have also been making more progress on Vivary Tales. It's reached 10k, so there's also a lot still to write, but I am incredibly happy with the world building. I think it's my most intricate creation since I built the monastery in The Oracle's Flame. What's also really amazing is there's four stories in this first book, and there's still so much more room to grow in this world. Ideas for a second book are already percolating. I am going to keep plucking away at this book, and will hopefully continue to make progress! For those of you who also live in the US, I can't decide which team to root for in the Superbowl tomorrow. Should I go with the Eagles, who have had an amazing season, but are relative unknowns, or should I go with the Chiefs, who have a bunch of players I know can carry the entire team to a win. Let me know what you think and/or who to support!
