Finally, finally I tested negative this morning. For the last couple of days, I was in that in-between spot: not truly sick, but not fully recovered, and feeling cranky because I didn’t have the energy to do ALL the things.
You know that saying everyone has the same twenty-four hours a day? Well, I’m here to tell you, they don’t. In fact, that saying has always left me feeling a little salty. It made me feel even saltier after I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease that left me with no small amount of brain fog.
So, I did what I always do when I’m feeling a little salty:
I wrote a story about it.
“Just a Matter of Time” first appeared in Sucker Literary Magazine (which is still available in Kindle Unlimited) with ten other young adult short stories. Young adult short stories have always been a hard sell, and I was so excited that editor Hannah Goodman picked up my story for the anthology.
“Just a Matter of Time” should be free everywhere, but if it isn’t on your retailer of choice, drop me a note, and I’ll send you a BookFunnel link.

Hooray! So glad you have the all-clear for going out, doing the things you’d like to be doing, etc. And better, yet, it sounds like you’re recovering the energy to do them.
Also, what a great premise for a story — this looks like a fun read! Thanks!
So glad you’re negative. I feel very positive that you’re going to get your energy back. (A pun, I know, never can resist.) But anyway Yay!!! I can’t wait to read the story.
