I am thankful for each and every one of you being here and supporting what I do. I never imagined having fans, and people who want to meet me. I never imagined that I would be this important to all of you, and I hope you all know that I’m thankful for you. 

I’m thankful for being able to pursue my dreams and especially thankful to each and every one of you supporting them and supporting me along the way. I’m thankful for my friends, from the ones I’ve had for years and the ones I just met. I’m thankful for my family, as always. And I’m thankful for the wifey, who is crazy enough to be on this journey with me.

Happy Thanksgiving <3

Hey everyone, not that I can stop people from going out shopping tomorrow, but if you do go out, please please PLEASE be kind to the employees. Friendly reminder that a lot of them will be missing time with their family to be there, and for a lot of places it is not an optional shift, or one that pays extra. So just be kind and respectful of the employees out there. Remember:

1. Something being out of stock is not their fault
2. Yelling never solves anything
3. No they cannot hold sale items for you
4. It’s not their fault if the store didn’t have enough of an item
5. Yes they realize how early you got there, they know this because they had to be there to serve you
6. They are not going to ruin your Christmas by not having something, just wait a bit, said item will be in stock again
7. No they cannot call another store it’s going to be extremely busy
8. They are going as fast as they can to get to everyone, please be patient
9. They realize the line is long, please do not complain to them about it
10. Do not belittle them. They do have to serve you, yes, but that does not mean you treat them like shit

Happy holidays, and be safe out there!

From my writing side:  It’s Thanksgiving and on my cosplay page I started with a bizarre thanks, so I’ll start one here too. I’m thankful for the person(s) who broke into my apartment all those years ago and stole our laptops. Because of you, we were not only introduced to the delicious Keys Cafe, but it forced my partner and I to start over in the roleplay we had been doing since college. Because of starting over, we came up with the idea of “the Storyteller,” and ended up taking those rpg logs and turn them into “the Hunters” series and are now about the publish our first book, “Seeking the Storyteller.”

So thanks for being a jerk who breaks into people’s houses, because of you we got a book series going.

From my cosplay side:  I’m thankful for the bully I got. I’m thankful for their ignorant remarks about my cosplay, because if not for that person, I never would’ve fried chicken in response, would’ve never written that article, and would’ve never gotten so many wonderful fans like you all.  If not for such a simple minded individual I never would’ve stood up for myself and for others in such a way, so thanks internet bully, because of you I got the support of some really incredible people.

Though I guess honestly I’m thankful for fried chicken, for being so yummy and symbolic in such situations  ^^

My heartfelt thanks:  I’m thankful for all of you, for being here and following me. It’s really great that you take time out to comment on my posts or say things to me at conventions or send me messages. You all are terrific  :)  And if you don’t celebrate Thanksgiving for whatever reason, you still have my thanks today and every other day for now until whenever.  Thank you to all of you for being fans of me and my work. Thanks for reading what I write, for supporting my work, and just being all around great people. When the books take off and I go on Ellen and do some sort of terrible dance, I hope you’ll still be there cheering me on.

My friends and family thanks:  I love you.  Short and simple, because you already know  <3  It’s been an interesting year with some ups and some downs, but thanks for being here for all of it.  From first time book publishings, to jobs I depended on being cancelled at the last minute, you all have pretty much kept me sane through all of it, so thank you.

Black Friday/Whatever Thursday reminder:  behind the cut because it’s long.

Happy Thanksgiving to my tumblr family and friends.  Even if you don’t celebrate, know that I’m thankful for all of you  :)  Thanks for following me, liking the crafts I post, or the cosplay, or the Persona, or the other Persona, and the other other Persona and occasionally Avengers and gaming things.  

Have a lovely day!
