Busy, Our Write Side, and Water

Busy

I know, I know—it’s Monday, but with Father’s Day yesterday and trying to finish the remodel of my son’s room, things got crazy yesterday. My son has been needing more time and attention lately as well. Not sure what that’s about, but he takes priority over writing so I’ve been giving him more attention. Unfortunately, it means my writing sometimes takes a backseat and I need to prioritize what I’m working on. On a positive note, though, I do have a couple short stories and a novella coming out soon, so be sure to watch my Published Works page!

Water

I’m trying something new. I went back to the doctor for my whole kidney stone mess. My tests came back normal—all of them. So basically that means they don’t know why I had the stone. All I got told was to drink more water. So, I found a water bottle that lets me put fruit in this basket thing in the middle to infuse the water with fruit flavor. I tend not to drink enough water when it is plain water. I’m hoping by adding the fruit, it will be enough to help me drink more water.
