January was a rather uneventful month for me as far as writing is concerned. Unfortunately, I have been diagnosed with an enlarged spleen and the reason remains unknown. I've had at least one doctor visit a week so far except for one. I'm not entirely sure what to do, plan for, or even save up for at this moment. I will be attending Fayetteville Con, but I haven't had much luck with purchasing or sharing a booth with someone else. I've been so busy at work I haven't had any time to do research and development for other pictures I need to learn how to edit. ALL of my good news is on hold until all this medical crap gets straigtened out, and the sole self-treatment requires lots of rest and limited activities.
I...feel...like...sh!t
I do have to give myself a little more credit, given the circumstances, but literally everything is up in the air right now. Furthermore, the success of the book trailer will help me determine in which direction to continue my work in. Again, I have no idea what to do and the costs of getting all that I have out there is astronomical compared to what I'm doing for a living. I haven't had much time to actually write AAAAANNNNDDD I'm trying to make more scripts for movies all at the same time. This has doubled my amount of active projects from 5 to 10.
The main point I want people to understand is: I'm trying.
I'm in more pain than I care to describe right now, and unless my body is frozen or I'm crying from it, I guess I'll just keep going about doing everything that I've been working on. Overall, my primary goals have not changed, but the direction in which I'm heading might be. I'm trying to keep myself focused and away from any impulse decisions in my exhausted state. But right now, everything is just crazy and I'm trying to keep it all together. There's a lot that you all don't see. That's been difficult to handle recently, but I know God's in control, I just wish I felt better physically. Mentally, I'm great.
With love in Christ, have a blessed day!

PS: I won't be doing anymore Facebook lives for a while or posting on time apparently. This post is coming a few days late from the first. I also won't be doing anymore midnight posts.
