Been a good week. Small update

So I have a friend who let me use his office space this week. In 3 days I managed 24k words which is more than I've gotten in a single week in so long. I was finally able to just 'focus' on my stories and write.

UL1 book 10 ended - Picks up on Nov 3rd

Time loop ends at chapter 80 currently ((looking at writing a few chapters to potentially fix/flesh out some stuff)).

I also went back and commented on the one long post for time loop. You all gave me some great feedback and I really want to make sure I hit all the points I can to make this thing a great story.

Plotting stuff this week for hopefully what will be a week of 4 chapters a day if I can manage it. Trying to get caught up.

For those who care about life stuff - the last 3 weeks were brutal.

My 5th kiddo who has seizures had a bunch of episodes. We thought his meds were dialed in and then suddenly they started up. been talking with both Neuro doctors and trying to make headway on getting more testing done to pursue the path of a potential epilepsy surgery if it looks like it might help him.

For those who know about my 2nd son and all that - we haven't spoke in over a month which kills me. My whole family is experiencing the pain of this. Primarly my 10 year old who cries everytime he sees a photo or 'misplaces' an item my older son had given him.

It's made for some stressful and difficult moments. I actually started counseling, trying to figure out how to deal with the pain and rejection. (as has my wife). As a parent, all I ever wanted to do was love my kids and be loved back. I've made mistakes, I'll own to that. But it really stings... if I'm being honest, I broke one day at the end of august.

So love your family. Bridge those gaps while you can.

Lastly - my mother... her mental faculties are declining faster. The daily care taking is taking its toll which is why I was so thankful for a friend letting me use his office space. Mom's going to my sisters for december and a few weeks in february to see them for the holidays and as much as I love her, my kids, wife and myself need a break. It's been a hard 3+ years since my dad passed and she has gone the way she has.

All i can say is so much of what I often write which is about family is that I think it's important. People, relationships, they're things that help us be who we are.

I'll tell everyone here the same thing I tell people on FB, Reddit, discord and more. if you ever need someone just to listen, send me a message. I can't promise i'll have answers, but I'll gladly let you have a place to share your hurts, pain or struggles and let you know I'll say some prayers for ya.

Thanks again for the support.

Sorry if the last part got heavy. I just try to always be real for everyone.
