A Chapter Change

I hardly know where to start when it comes to rebuilding and rebranding my website. I used to be a super prolific author, I used to write things all of the time that were adventurous, bizarre and exciting, but now most of my writing has turned into a mental health diary.

The wicked shorts blog will be slowly moving to AvrinKelly.com over the next year. I know re-publishing the stories, monetizing, editing and re-mastering them as I go is going to be daunting. It feels like an overwhelming task, but I think I owe it to my portfolio to continue working towards what I set out to do in 2017: Write one of the most provocative, honest, hauntingly grisly horror novels of the 21st Century, and have it be my debut.

Somehow, I know that my writing career will change in a way, but I'm not sure how quite yet.

If you don't know much about me, I'm 34 years old, and I love horror. Unfortunately, I suffer from some type of undiagnosed chronic type of hypersomnia or chronic fatigue syndrome that makes me less energetic than your normal human being.

Unless I'm writing seriously towards the last line of a project, I would usually rather be sleeping. Some time ago, I decided that I wouldn't live my life this way anymore. I resolved to have goals no matter how tired I was everyday; I have done that, but it has been ugly and not in any way consistent.

Reaching my objective has been extremely slow going but it's possible that a chapter change, if you will, is about to take place.

Soon, I will make a life-changing move 786 mi away from where I live now all across the country. I have begun work on a social support group for people with invisible illness called unconventional advocacy. Now that it is a project I really hope that you guys feel like checking out, because I put a lot of work into it, and honestly, I'm not quite sure where to go next. I would like to help people like me who are barely making it. Who are falling through the cracks, people who feel like washing dishes could be the straw that broke the camel's back. Or forcing yourself to take a shower feels akin to torture.

As you guys know, if he's been a friend of wicked shorts blog for some time now, Thierry Adler is alive and well. And an asshole. I'm seriously considering joining his Facebook page with my author page, because I'm not going to lie; I have a private group where Thierry’s profile can periodically comment on my posts, and it's freaking hilarious. The page and the group have given me a lot of ideas. They allow me to write them down in real-time from the mouth of the horse, uh, I mean from Thierry.

Some of the problem with Teacup's character was his very obvious issues with avolition. I realized that for some time that he and I have both struggled with motivational problems and possibly adult attention deficit disorder.

Only I don't have any magic that I have to control, (that I know of), but that may explain some of the hardships I've endured lately. Also that could just be because I was looking at the wrong calendar for half of this month. know of, but that may explain some of the hardships I've endured lately. Also that could just be because I was looking at the wrong calendar for half of this month.

I will say this: Exxus is done, basically, but the bad news is: I hate that damn book. Hate everything about it except the cover...
