Have u considered publishing on Neobook?

Thank you for the follow and adding my work to your reading list. 

How has everyone's month been? November didn't start very well for me but it has improved and I did my best to stay busy. Met with the neurosurgeon a couple days ago. Since the pain has greatly diminished (still taking medication but mainly because they don't recommend stopping in the middle of a cycle), the doctor said that I will probably not need any further action unless it returns or something aggravates it. I will probably start writing again this week, however, won't start posting the chapters until after the new year.

The Crown Prince's first day back to court after the ambush was an abject failure. However, Prince Bon-hwa gives Ha-neul some news that may turn things around. Find out more in Chapter 43: https://www.wattpad.com/1399269132-secret-of-the-red-lotus-flower-%EB%B9%A8%EA%B0%84-%EC%97%B0%EA%BD%83%EC%9D%98-%EB%B9%84%EB%B0%80-chapter

I had a near catastrophe today. As you know, I had to stop writing because of the pain from a bulging disc in my spine. However, I had completed the majority of the next chapter before the incident and the pain stopped me from writing. During this time, I got a new computer and did my best to transfer everything over.
          
          Today, I felt good enough to try to write again. I went to my OneDrive to open my draft chapter document... and it was gone! Well, it actually held the rough draft of the previous chapter, but still. Panicking, I looked everywhere but could not find it. I was starting to think I would have to start again from scratch.
          
          Then I remembered that I have a habit of emailing chapters to myself so that I can potentially do some writing during downtimes at work (rarely find the time, though). I sprinted my Sent Items and, lo and behold, there it was! I haven't gotten a chance yet to see if it is the latest version of the draft, but at least I don't have to rewrite the entire thing.

I discovered one benefit of having to spend most of my time icing my back instead of writing is that I have gotten a chance to catch up on my backlog of dramas. Finally got my chance to watch Queen Charlotte.

I started physical therapy last week. Between that and the medication they prescribed, I have made some improvement. I can move my neck more and with a lot less pain. However, the pain in my shoulder/bicep/elbow continues to trouble me. Trying to type for more than five minutes causes me to cramp up. Considering how much progress I have made in 1.5 weeks, I can only hope that another couple of weeks will see enough improvement to allow me to start writing again.
          
          In other news, while doing some spring (fall?) cleaning, I found on old USB. It contained some unfinished or unpolished stuff I wrote back in college. Most of it has been untouched for over 15 years. Perhaps I will post some of them if I can ever past the cringe...

For the past couple of days, my right shoulder/neck/arm was giving me pay that was slowly increasing. At first, I thought it was just a neck kink or pinched nerve and went to a chiropractor/therapist.  However, today, I awoke in excruciating pain. Went to ER, and they did an MRI scan. Apparently, I have a bulging disc that makes it incredibly hard to use my right arm right now. They ordered some bed rest, pain meds, and physical therapy. 
          
          Since I can't say how long recovery will be, I am officially putting my regular post on hiatus. That doesn't mean I will stop writing and will do what I can offline. Perhaps I can finally get my buffer chapters back!

Thank you so much for adding K-pop Confessions to your reading list<3 ❤️

My apologies for missing the update last week. I was focusing on getting the bibliography updated and was unable to finish the chapter completely. Instead of rushing one out, I will spend the extra time putting a little more polish on it and (hopefully) have a little surprise for my readers this weekend.
