New updates posted for A Little Left to Give and the A Handful of Daffodils rewrite.
          	
          	And when it rains it pours. Im going to be getting an ultrasound done tomorrow on my knee because I might have torn something in it trying to get my car unstuck two weeks ago. 
          	
          	Due to that Im gunna take a break from ALL posting, yes even for the rewrite. I just want this pain in the ass rested and not standing at a 6-7 on the pain scale. Even sitting down makes it ache and the pain is distracting. 
          	
          	I'll let you guys know what's found when I find out but good old Canadian winters and life reminding you that you get old so you don't always bounce when you fall, sometimes you gotta break a little.

For the Forget Me Not book could we possibly get a chapter of Nexus and Tim meeting Madeline (obviously your decision if you want to write it or not)

AMLKoski

@Galaxy_Psycho it could be a possibility but it wouldn't be for a long while as the chapters always run one after another

Thanks for all the well wishes everyone. Things are looking better for the fam and thats amazing considering what happened. 
          
          Ive updated yhe two stories. They aren't edited cause I have a migraine and it feels like my skull is splitting down the middle. Stupid weather drops. It went from +3C to -17C overnight and it just wrecked me.
          
          Cheers!

They way I’ve been here since late 2016/early 2017 is insane. From tatum, to bam, to lace and others along the way. I reread “a cold wind blows” once a quarter i swear because it’s my favorite one in the forgotten series.  I just wanted to say that I’m proud of you, and how far you’ve come and continue to do so is inspiring. I love it here and never want to leave. 
          
          Just wanted to let you know that you are appreciated.

We are now entrenched in the new changes for A Handful of Daffodils rewrite! Menza's pov doesnt change too much but Brochan's had an entire overhaul!

Surprise updates for A Handful of Daffodils! 
          
          Im so excited because the last one updated is where the major changes from Brochan's pov happens! So we start to see the tone and direction shift from him that changes the outcome of the story!

Your writing is truly astonishing. It always shocks me how immersed I get every time I read a book. It's like watching a movie and the camera work being so well executed that you dont even notice it and forget it's a movie on a screen.
          
          One thing I absolutely love is how realistic the depth of each persons thought process and personality are. They aren't 2D cliche characters. It feels like they have free will in this book you've written and brought to life. 
          
          I've seen some readers be frustrated at how a character lashes out, or how they respond to trauma, how they react to certain things. But it's exactly why I love your writing. People aren't perfect. People react rashly sometimes. People are an ass without realising it. They need to work through things slowly.
          
          It wouldn't be the same or feel as alive otherwise. It brings so much emotion and let's you empathise and sympathise with them so much more.
          
          I read the 3rd book of the Forgotten series a few years ago, and I think I remember posting something similar to this on your board saying i'll be sure to read the rest of them. I'm just now getting to it, and I've finished the first 2 books in the past week. 
          
          I'm about to reread the 3rd book, and even though i dont remember anything from it, I'm sure i'll love it just as much, and i'm sure your writing and storytelling will once again amaze me just as it did those few years ago. 
          
          Lots of love, a new avid reader

@HoeWasTaken thank you so much! I am so glad you have such an indepth analysis of the characters because you are absolutely correct! Humans are irrational and trauma makes us even more so. How we react is very much subject to what we go through. There will never be a perfect victim, a perfect abuse survivor, a perfect trauma victim. We are humans and our brains are fallible and trauma makes it so so much worse. 
            
            Thank you so much for joining me on your reading journey again. Im so pleased to have you!
