Erika Livingstone

Hello my loves. I hope you have not forgotten me, because I have missed the hell out of you. I have a new story for you! As soon as I can get a cover figured out, I will begin posting. (And a profile refresh is also in the works, 'cause this is looking kinda dusty.) See you soon!

Hey @babybird2013 . I don't know exactly what your situation is or what you're going through. But I empathize with the feelings of frustration and fear that this thing can cause. I don't know you well and that puts me in a shit position to try to give you any advice; obviously you are smart enough to know what you need without me trying to like, tell you what to do. I just wanted to say that depression is in our heads; but just because it's in our heads does not mean that it's not real. If it is harming your future or reducing your quality of life in the present, I would encourage you to get some help if you haven't done so already. Maybe you have. Plenty of people (too many) wait for something to change instead of trying to change it themselves. And with this illness comes a certain amount of helplessness when it comes to breaking routine, which makes it even harder to fight than it already is. (For my part I haven't had a haircut in longer than I'd like to admit, and I keep walking around in these raggedy old runners because I can't seem to gather the strength to go to a shoe store when I just want to be home asleep or numbing myself... all kinds of things like that... maybe you are the same). But at some point we have to decide we need to fight for ourselves. It is very hard to create a plan but if you haven't already done, please try :) It's amazing to look back and feel the difference once you get out of the 'hole'. PM me if you want to talk about this more. I hope you heal soon.

I hope you're get better,your writing is truly outstanding.

Guys! I'm sorry for the radio silence the past few weeks. Unfortunately I have been dealing with some... Scary Adult Problems and I haven't been able to concentrate on the level that I need to in order to write a good book 3 (which is much more plot based than Broken Timepiece 1 and 2). I will get back to posting more of it as soon as I can fix a couple of personal things. Everything should be okay. In the meantime, I have some other stories I can post. Would you like science fiction, shorts, or a weird crime drama?

@Death_Eater1  Really?? Thanks for reading it, I know it's sooo long! Not many people would have the patience. (I had books 1 and 2 printed up and... it took 1 and a half reams of paper. The binder that could hold that mofo has not yet been manufactured, so it just sits like a brick on my bedside table.) Thank you for keeping with it! It must not be easy to trust a writer as new as I am.
          <<<3

Well folks, the day has finally come. I've finished editing Broken Timepiece, cover to cover, about an hour ago. Took me 10.5 months, because it clocks in at a massive 720 pages long in size 10 font. That makes it thick as my thumb is long, and heavy enough to kill someone with. Let me just say, if you managed to read this giant thing, written by an unknown writer surfing on the corner of the internet, I tip my hat to you. You're a crazy, crazy breed, and I love the hell out of you.

Hey kids, looks like my day job will be getting the axe by August, so I am FURIOUSLY editing BTP vols 1 and 2 so I can dupe a publisher into buying it ;). I'm not leaving myself much time for writing vol 3 at this time, but as soon as I fix up 1&2 I'll start posting again. (I'll need something to do to keep me from biting my fingernails and fretting!) I'll be around so drop me a message. You know I can't keep my own secrets when it comes to this plot, heh heh ;)

Hey kids, had a roller-coaster 10 days with little time for updating. So I'll post two chapters next weekend to make up for lost ground :)

@NatalieMarieTorresPa haha ohh that's good. I have been editing them a lot lately (I'm at the part where Ankh has just gone missing in Nubia, Nakhtmin is eating his guts out over it and  Tutankhaten can't say anything). I can't honestly say that I've gutted everything so far, but I have honestly wondered how anyone would enjoy reading it. It's so choppy in spots!
          I've kind of been thinking of doing an audio book. I'd just read the books and load them on youtube so people can listen to them instead of read them over. 
          I just worry that without 2,116 different guys reading the boy parts, people would get confused. 
          Oh one of your childrens is Eryka? That's a cooler spelling than mine, haha. I didn't notice that before.
          ANYWAY, because I felt so bad, I am posting volume 3. I won't be able to post very rapidly because most of my time is going to editing (hopefully I'll be done before we all get laid off O_O) but... oh well. More irons in the fire means more... iron smell in the house. I don't know.

@NatalieMarieTorresPa What are you reading lately?
