Hi guys!
          	
          	Sorry for the long hiatus.
          	
          	As mentioned in my last post, Google Docs very kindly deleted all of my notes (bummer). So I have been trying to rewrite the notes for Rising From The Ashes from memory. I feel like I have about 75% of my original plans written down again.
          	
          	Admittedly, my love for Marvel dwindled with the latest phase, and I didn't feel like I had any incentive to continue Charlotte and Peter's story. However, with the announcement made at comic con (you all know which one I'm talking about!), I felt a spark of inspiration and excitement return.
          	
          	So I'm going to be slowly getting back into Rising From The Ashes, and I'm aware we have a long way to go (we're not even at Civil War yet, it hasn't gotten juicy yet), but in between earning a promotion at work and moving into my first home with my partner, things have been a bit crazy the past few months.
          	
          	But I will make a strong effort to get back to writing!

HELP NEEDED
          
          Do any of my fellow writers have a specific app or website that they use to store their story notes and drafts?
          
          I have just logged back into my Google Docs after taking a few weeks off, and all of my story notes have been deleted without my permission. They aren't in the recycling bin, and no one has access to my account.
          
          I have tried to restore it from the drive and use an old backup, but it is still not there.
          
          Over 70 pages of notes and planning for Rising From The Ashes has gone just when I had a sudden urge to continue the story.
          
          I'm so annoyed and honestly deflated right now.
          
          Any help or advice would be appreciated!

@-rogerthat Write the notes you can remember and go from there or you can write new notes. You can write them on page so that no one can delete them. I don’t know if this will help but I’m still an early writer so I’m not fully sure.

@-rogerthat I don't use an app, but I use an external hard drive, so if something happens, I can transfer the doc.

Hiiiiiiii
          
          Long time no see.
          
          I should have some Rising From The Ashes chapters ready to go in the next week or two! I'm not going to lie,  it's been a struggle picking that story back up - I've really fallen out of love with Marvel lately. I just feel like their recent projects have lost to spark it once had. 
          
          However, I have recently became OBSESSED with Shameless, more so Lip. So I'm currently planning a Lip x OC story and I'm just wondering if people would want to see one huge book where each episode has their own chapter, making it over 120 chapters with each chaoter pushing 10,000 words or more. Or would people prefer for it to be broken into separate books?
          
          Love you all!

Hey everyone!
          
          Apologies for the ridiculously slow/non existent updates on my stories. My work/home life has been pretty hectic at the minute.
          
          I'm trying desperately to juggle being a full time A&E nurse, a carer for my mother and packing up my current home ready to move into pur new property.
          
          I'm so sorry for the lack of updates - the last 6 months have just fell away from me. 
          
          I have plans for all my current stories as well as some new stories! Hopefully, some updates will be coming soon!

Take your time to balance things out and always put yourself first! Updates can come whenever, we’ll wait!

I have so many half finished stories that I am desperate to finish - I hate loose ends.
          
          I'm going to update them and get them to a point where there is at least some closure. I might not have any intention of finishing the story, I just cannot stand abandoned stories that leave you in the middle of a storyline.
          
          I have some free time, so there may be some Rising From The Ashes updates coming in the next few weeks.

I feel you… I have so many story ideas but they’re unfinished ):

@marvelousand2 I'm going to be honest and say that I completely forgot that Charlotte could have regrown her leg using the Extremis, but for the sake of her character, she will be keeping her prosthetic. As for Dark Phoenix, I have something quite big planned for Charlotte at a later stage. She will not become The Dark Phoenix, but her moral compass will be tested on more than one occasion.
            
            Thank you for your comment!

@-rogerthat Is Charlie going to regrow her leg ? In Iron Man 3 Ellen Brandt grew her arm back. Will you do Dark Phoenix story with Charlie as Dark Phoenix ?

Hey everyone!
          
          Firstly, I'm so sorry that I've been awol for the past five months. Not going to sugar coat it but I've had a pretty horrific couple of months.
          
          As most of you know by my last few posts, my granda was on pallitave care. He sadly passed away the day after I made that post. I was by his beside and held his hand the entire time. This understandably had a massive effect on my mental health. I was diagnosed with depression, anxiety and PTSD but this is all being managed! I feel like my journey with mental health is just beginning, but I am getting to best possible care and have to most supportive family and partner.
          
          Secondly, my updates for stories will be quite slow as I get back into the swing of writing and updating, while trying to balance a full time job and self care.
          
          Thank you all so so much for your continued support on my work. We've hit over 200 followers and Rising From The Ashes has hit 100K reads! Amazing!
          
          Thank you, I love you all 3000! X
