So now I have been back from vacation for less than two weeks, and would you be surprised if I said I was still processing it? I wrote a little about my experience in Reckon Review’s Wind & Root Column - read it here!

I think I might need to sit my ass down and think through my priorities, which luckily I have the time for because right now it’s Obon, so I have 7 days. I did spend yesterday playing video games and decompressing from work, so may I use these days wisely (or not lol).

Finally, I know I shouldn’t have come back from vacation with stuff already planned for August but I couldn’t resist participating in The Bereket Writing Community’s #Submit30 event. I really wanted to show my support for a community that has given me so much. I’m eleven days in with nineteen more to go… here’s hoping I don’t run out of lit mags to submit to.

I hope that your August is going well and that you are all staying as safe as you can. Hugs to you all.
