Hee. I'm working on ASKOF: Rocket Man for Halloween and I just realized in my head I now hear Honey's voice as Honey Lemon's voice. Maybe I should give Honey a cute pair of glasses. 😀

I love those moments when you just let yourself write whatever comes into your head and then go back and to read over it and think, "Huh. That's really not that bad." But I especially love those moments when you just let yourself write whatever comes into your head and then go back to read it over and think, "Holy crap. What in the name of everything good in this world is this horror that shall never see the light of day?" right before you hit delete. 🤣

The old tutorial site needs an update. I think the banner ad is affecting it and preventing scrolling. Unfortunately, I can't remember my log in and the email address is probably one I don't have any more. *face palm* I suppose at some point I will try to make a new one. Possibly. The example sites are still working, at least.

I have not written anything beyond essay papers since 2016. For some reason, I thought it would be an excellent idea to accept a hectic management job *and* go back to school for a Master's degree. While many people have been in lockdown or out of work since the pandemic started, my job has been insane - typically 50 - 60 hours a week. And I realized recently that I need something to do that is strictly relaxing and for my enjoyment. So here I am, dusting off my Trixie websites and jumping back in yet again. I signed up for NaNoWriMo. I have no idea if I'll be able to pull it off along with work and school and a planned Thanksgiving vacation, but I'm going to give it my best shot. After that? I'd love to pick A Simple Kind of Fear and The Cold Lake Murders back up. *crosses fingers*

I finally found my old external hard drive. Or, to be more accurate: my husband realized he'd had it in a trunk with some old books and other equipment. There's so much stuff on this thing. So far, I've found the original ASKOF images and all the files from one of the Jixaversaries. (Pretty sure it's the third one.)

​This was the emoticon I made and we used to have on the Jix forum for "every time Regan puts his big, freckled hands on his hips".  How awesome is this? It's the fact that he's winking, too, that makes this so cool.
