Well, it does seem some crooks are busy cooking up mischief somewhere. I have alerted WordPress engineers, hopefully, this will get resolved soon. In any case, be viral aware, protect your blogging property as much as you can.
I will keep you updated.
Well, well, I was just trying to set my calendar for certain activities when I realized that I am only ten days to hitting a year in this space.

How do you do? I can relate to this post when that freezing despair grips your mind and this was my comment in quotes below. Chip in an advice.
Calm down! Take a day at a time. After work, relax a bit, then practice some deliberate thinking plan for just half an hour. What is the primary thing that you want to achieve. Just an activity or two per week that will lead you to where you want to be and in time, you will be in full throttle.

Today, two years ago was the last time I saw or spoke to my sister. I was rewriting the opening chapters of Curse Breaker: Enchanted and its two sequels when she died hence the posts. Her last words to me were a heartfelt plea that I write all my stories and publish them. I promised her that and she left.
I didn’t know then that she would be dead in five days. I didn’t know those would be the last words we’d ever speak to each other. I didn’t know that was the last time I would ever see her face to face.
