Trick question

How do you manage stress?

We are way past stress.

We are collectively in polycrisis right now. Stress is basically a holiday.

Everything is chaos³ and too many people are focused on just surviving.

Everything

What’s something you’ve done that your past self would be proud of?

…is Everything.

Past Me would see Present Me and immediately grab snacks and margaritas because girl, you won’t believe what happened, listen up

So, I’ve been working on something…

A new book? Why yes! It’s finally, finally in the final stages of actually being done, wrapped up, all checks checked, all lights green and lit.

When exactly is it coming out? The hope is for an end-of-year release. The moment the date’s fixed, rest assured I’ll put it here.

So why this teaser? A few of you wordlovers witnessed how Chance Encounter came to be, right here @ threegoodwords, way back in ye olden dayes when I wrote up the first drafts. This teaser is for you and everyone who kept me going back then. Thank you for your interest in my writing, it means so much to me. And now, finally, that first draft is an actual book. And yes, I am a little (very) excited :)

Take care and, as always, thank you, merci, and dankeschoen for taking your time to read what I write. – j.d.
