It seems as if life has other plans every time I try to get something done.
My husband, little one and I all came down with the virus. And have been in isolation for 14 days and have all been completely exhausted.
I hope everyone is well, story should be posted on AO3 shortly. Well…. next time the little one goes down for a nap. Also there’s a new art post on Instagram.
Lots of love as usual,
Hayden
Hello again my friends!
I am so sorry for once again disappearing. We’ve had a lot of family stuff that’s happened lately along with me having a somewhat unexpected surgery, and a longer than I had hoped, recovery.
Anyway, onto the good stuff.
This week I should have an update on AO3, which is much over due, to which I again apologize for. Life seems to hate my right now. Also, I’m hoping to get a new story up soon for everyone to enjoy!
I hope everyone is doing well. And please check back this week for more updates!
Much love, and good wishes!
Hayden
Hey everyone, if you’ve been watching the news lately, you’ll likely have seen the mess the snow storm caused in Texas. It’s been bad.
Thankfully my house was able to keep power, but we were doing everything we could to conserve energy and keep our little daughter busy. Both were an interesting task. I spent most of my days in front of our fireplace, trying to keep little one busy, when she’s used to being out of the house at least four days a week. Needless to say not a whole lot of writing got finished.
We were at my in-laws tending to animals and helping clean up the mess from broken pipes, and at my parents, helping with my mother’s parents who are in their 90s. It’s been a royal zoo here.
So, getting to the point of this…. right, I should have the next chapter up on AO3 in the next few days, as well as updates posted on Instagram of how things are progressing and a glimpse into the craziness that is my life as a mom, wife, and artist. I promise, it’s never dull.
I hope my fellow Texans are okay, as well as anyone else affected by this crazy snow storm!
Much love,
Hayden.
Okay, so let me start off by saying, yes I’m alive.
I’ve been super swamped at home taking care of my little one, recovering from a clumsy injury and buried in editing. Life is never dull around here, and as a wife, mom, and author normal life is…. well anything but normal 😂
But that being said, things should be getting back on track soon. Where I’m from we have no idea how to handle snow…. and guess who’s getting ice rain and snow? Texas. So that should be interesting. If anyone needs me, I’ll likely be at the bottom of a dog pile, that includes my little one, our poodle, lowchen and pitbull (who hates the cold) and quite possibly my cold natured husband. I may be doomed.
AO3 should be updated this weekend and hopefully I’ll have more time to post more regular updates soon.
Stay warm and safe y’all!
Hayden.
The past two days, needless to say, have been quite an adventure. Between working on my novel and the story on AO3, and trying to keep my house in order, my brain has been a little fried.
Anyway, I have a new chapter posted on AO3, and I hope everyone enjoys it. It’s a bit shorter than the first chapter, but when one has an infant at home, I write when I can.
It looks like I’ll be laid up for a little while, after an accident at home last night that’s left me limping, so hopefully I will have more time to write, despite the ironic way I ended up having more time on my hands. Other than that, still plugging away at editing chapters in my novel, and having someone proof read for me.
The hope it to have it done by summer, and hopefully published in some form by the end of the year, if all goes according to plan, and my husband and I don’t need the funds for something else. I’ve started posting on Instagram and you can find me at hay.dencantrell it’s just a glimpse into my every day, and occasionally I post some art that I’m working on, when I have time, or get a case of writers block.
Hope everyone is doing well, and thanks for stopping by!
