@ServantsAnd Hoping you will have a complete recovery soon!

Recovery update. I'm still taking it one day at a time. My shoulder seems better, but still tells me when I do too much. My knee is what's giving me the most trouble and pain. Walking around getting groceries yesterday was painful. Thanks everyone for their good wishes. 🫂

@MelissaOlthoff @Marisa_comeaux @KaceyEzell1 @WarpCordova I’m not a writer, but I’d guess, accurate

Since I'm both an author and a reader, I'm pretty sure this means I'm a magical, highly caffeinated racoon 🤔 ...this explains SO MUCH 🤣

@GameOverStation @Litrpg_Con Congratulations! Have a blast!

Good news, peeps! 🥳🎉🍾 I'll be a featured guest at litRPG Con this year! Last year, @Litrpg_Con was off-the-hook and so fun. This year, it'll be 33% larger, and I just can't wait! Anyone else going? I want to meet all the fun peeps!

@JrPlangman @GameOverStation I’m with you! Although I was disappointed that they changed narrators for the audio book.

Just finished "Labyrinth Arcanist" by @GameOverStation and for the first time since starting this series I'm 100% caught-up! Now for the inevitable itch for another installment! 🤣

@GameOverStation Awesome!
