Has it been a week already? You all are keeping me accountable because if I’m a slacker and don’t write a lot, everyone is going to know lol. It’s still a chilly 30-something degrees here in Idaho during the day, and I’m really not a winter person so I like to stay inside. Skiing, snowboarding, any sort of activity that requires me to be cold just isn’t for me. Ooh, my usual boring neighborhood had a happening– three Moose! Mooses? Meese (I’m kidding) One mama and two of her children. I was backing out to go to dinner and saw them in the review running down the street then they ran to my neighbors yard and stayed there. We left but my neighbor said fish and game chased them on snow machines… to where, I haven’t the faintest. |

| Anyway, when I’m not writing or working on business, I’m getting back into working out and eating healthy. I used to be a total health nut and gym rat. Not so much after I had my second kid. I had severe postpartum depression and it wrecked me for a while. But that’s been three years now and I’ve picked up a lot of bad habits but I’m changing them slowly. 75 ounces of water a day. 30 minutes of exercise (any kind including just walking) and striving for mostly whole foods. I’m already feeling better and have more energy. I’m also re-watching The Vampire Diaries currently on season 2 episode 4. It’s still one of my favorite shows and I haven’t seen it in years. I’m actually liking Stefan more than I used to. I always thought he was kind of bland and used to be team Damon 1000% but I kind of forgot what an ass Damon is in the first season. However, he’s still my fav. Still Team toxic Damon. Sorry not sorry. I also home school my 6 year old daughter, and I’m potty training my son these next couple weeks. Never a dull moment around here. ( Minor spoilers incoming) Ok so onto Elf Queen book 3! I am currently on chapter 15 at just over 32k words. Not where I’d hoped I’d be. Meh. But I’m going to bust out another thousand words or so today. With the Black Mage’s return things aren’t swell in Palenor as to be expected. The pale ones have gotten bolder and their attacks more frequent. Layala feels like it’s all her responsibility and she must do something about it, cue epic fight scenes hehehe I know in my last update I told you there are inspirations from Norse mythology and so I’ll also tell you I’ve loosely, emphasis on loosely, based Thane off Thor and Hel off Loki. Loki is the trickster Hel is the god of mischief and magic. Thor is the god of thunder, Thane is the god of war but both have that kick ass in battle vibe. Cool fact: did you know Thane is an old name meaning warrior? Tif is snacking a lot and bickering with Thane lol. Maybe in the next update I’ll tease you with one of their arguments. She cracks me up. I’m not entirely sure how much to give you in the updates so I’ll keep it minimum so no major spoilers. As far as swag, all your comments and input was so helpful and I have things in the works! Talk to you again next week! JM Kearl |
