Busy Busy Update - #StayGrinding

I haven't posted in awhile.  To say I've been busy is an understatement.  In the last month I've been-

• Recording the audiobook for Gun Control for Polar Bears along with doing some more extensive promotion for it. 
• Trying to pimp out Tourniquet.
• Lettering/writing another comic from Dennis Magnant called Anhedonia which takes place in the same world as Tourniquet. 
• Prepping a family book I'll be printing within the next month or so. 
• Writing/prepping a scifi book that I'll be self releasing/printing also in the next month or so. 
• Animating a little bit for a short film. 
• Continuing the art series Coma's End.
• Fleshing out a thriller book I've had around for a bit. 
• Kicking around film ideas along with more animation ideas.
• And finally going back to clean up a couple of screenplays. Leaving them for a bit I think has actually helped me. Going back to them, I've seen where I'd gone wrong; essentially writing them as pitches instead of actual screenplays. 

Along with all this, there's a lot more on my plate. Things being prepped and planned. I'm really hoping to get things done and out before the release of my first sci-fi novel Last Rites of the Capacitance in May.

Recently I had to stay the night at the hospital for a sleep test. It's amazing to me that they're trying to test me and see how I sleep while covering me with wires and tubes. As it turns out I have sleep apnea. It was one of the most uncomfortable nights in recent memory. I even took a Melatonin, but couldn't get relaxed with the wires and tubes, etc, etc. Now I have to go back for another test at the end of the month with the C-Pap mask. By the way, halfway through the night, the guy came in and tried to put said apparatus on me but the strap was too small for my fat head - so tight that it was shoving my nose harshly deeper into my face. Luckily I've been dropping weight lately and weight loss is said to help with sleep apnea. 

So yeah, been trying my damnedest to get work done. I have a lot to do and real life (be it illness, bills, chores, or what have you) gets in the way as you know. 

I hope you all are safe and happy-- a lot of people tend neglect their own happiness while trying to survive this life, I'm no different.  It's a hard balance sometimes, survival and actual happiness, but I'm still searching and still trying to find the balance, and I hope you all do the same.
