August Pause. (Patreon)

July had been insane for me. At the beginning of the month I started a micro semester (of macroeconomics, ironically). It's a full course crammed into 5 weeks. Basically it's class every day of the week with daily quizzes or exams. I'm spending probably 6+ hours a day on just this class plus my day job which has also been insane because one of the managers had a pretty severe heart attack and has been in the hospital most of the month. She's mostly made a complete recovery, but while she was gone we had a temp running her project, and that temp had no idea what he was doing making my auditing job so much worse because I've been spending several extra hours a day trying to undo the damage he caused. Like for example, I pulled an all nighter Wednesday night and I didn't finish work til 4 am on Thursday (aka. Last night). If you've ever been awake for 30+ hours, you know it's not a good time. 

Anyway, The first week of August is the final week of the class, and I just finished the unit 3 exam like 5 minutes ago, so I have a little breathing room tonight and tomorrow to get a little writing done. Still, I want to make up for lost time, so I'm pausing billing for now while I catch up on writing. Expect new stories in the near future. I've done a little plotting and some short spurts of writing during the down time, but I've been too exhausted for too long to actually focus on writing.
