Filling in the Gaps

I fell into the Bridgerton rabbit hole this summer. It was a welcome respite from the insanity of politics, elder crises, and family members moving and getting new jobs. 

As part of my deep dive, I discovered the Archive of Our Own (AO3) which is a repository of fan fiction. I wish it existed 30 years ago when I was in my Star Trek fandom. Oh well, those stories are long lost. 

I ended up writing a novella, called Filling in the Gaps, almost by accident, since the words flowed out of me. I was hoping a few people might find it, but today, one week after I released it, I've got far more views (3,676), kudos (179) and comments (30) that I thought possible. I am grateful for every one of them. 

It was nice to do creative writing again. It's been a really long time since I've even tried. Not sure where this takes me, but it's also nice to have new doors open. 

My blog suffers....

The beauty of a freelance life is that you feast when you can and you do other things when it gets quiet. I am proud to report that I've had no downtime this year. I am embarrassed to realize my last post was a Happy New Year one. So, I'm delinking this blog from LinkedIn. I'll keep it alive in case, but really, I'm plenty of busy right now and not seeking new clients. This is a happy repository of useful links and thoughts, but it does not need to be featured! If you need me, send a LinkedIn message!

Happy New Year - 2024

This year is starting off super busy but it includes many things I've wanted to do for a long time. After announcing my retirement from UB, I picked up two new freelance clients and confirmed two continuing ones and am juggling deadlines between them. I admit that I forgot how busy it can get when you're the only person working on a project, but it has been exhilarating at the same time. If you need help, let me know. I'll be able to expand my availabilty in February after I finish a lot of content migration!
