It takes patience to stack rocks like this.

My life has been in a holding pattern lately. I’m seven pounds away from my goal weight, and they’ve been the hardest to get off. We ordered a solar panel system for our house, and we’re waiting for it to go through the permit stage. My novel The Remainders was released nearly a month ago, and I’m waiting for it to get flooded with five-star reviews and reach the New York Times bestseller list. 😀
