So uhhhhhh itty bitty problem in A Little Left to Give.
I changed the ending, yah? It fits better, it makes so much more sense, I love it. That is not my issue. My issue is my outline now doesn't want to work. So the outline I have currently, which is the OG outline I have been desperately holding onto because i didn't want to rework the ENTIRE thing. Has now essentially collapsed.
The outlined chapters dont work for who the characters are now (Ezekiel especially, he's turned into a cheeky bugger) and im sitting there, looking at likr 10 chapter outlines that no longer fit. Im trying to fit a square peg into a round hole and the story has essentially told me to fuck off.
This is what happens when you kick a can down the road because 'future me can deal with it'. Well im future me now and Im not too happy. There are even remnants in the outlines from the very first outline I did that has changed multiple times.
Ive already reworked three of the chapter outlines but I need to finish the rest. I should have done that when I changed the outline in the first place but I didn't cause Im an idiot.
So apologies! This is absolutely my fault and was absolutely preventable but Im a lazy idiot.
Love you guys! Thanks for being so patient with me.

@AMLKoski, OK, first off, the system says this message may be offensive. the system needs to get a grip. Hmph. Second off, if you aren't the first person whose outline didn't map to their final story, then I'm a reincarnation of Bob Heinlein. And third off, we're all idiots at one time or other. Keep at it, you'll get there. :-D

Your writing is brilliant & part of that is the sheer dedication that you give.
Take whatever time you need & don't stress on us. Try not to stress too hard on yourself either. We all, every single person in this world, do things that we can look back on hindsight & think wtf. However, when something happens, you go back & fix it the best you can. Your best is already phenomenal & def worth any wait on our part.

I was wondering if it would be possible to buy some of your books as physical books? Either now or later at some point!I would love to have them on my bookshelves!

@JennaPaavola no worries! I actually have Broken, the first two of Twisted Dark, and Red Ribbons all in physical copies. They can be found on amazon!

Sooooooo, there was a teeny tiny hiccup. A little itty bitty snag with A Little Left to Give.
I changed the ending again.
*hastily hides behind a wall*
I know! I know! This is like the third time Ive revised the story but I realised that with how the characters are and how they are turning out, the OG ending wasn't realistic and I realised that I was putting my own wishes into the story rather than what was realistic.
So the ending got changed. The new ending feels much better and I know its healthier for everyone involved.
Now for updates. I need just a tiny bit of help. I have a chapter ready to go except for one tiny detail. I cannot, for the life of me, remember if Julieta has a scent. Im in the middle of rereading the story and I haven't stumbled on it. If anyone can help a lady out with this, I would be sooo grateful!
Currently the one part litterally reads 'followed (insert Julieta's scent here)' and I dont want to give her a scent if Ive already given her one. So if anyone spotted it in the book, let me know what it was. If it's not in there, feel free to let me know so I can put myself out of my own misery. Its been like a fucking WEEK of this.
I told myself, you gotta keep on top of your character sheets and then I was like naaaah I wont forget.
Really, Anna? FUCKING REALLLY????
So any help would be appreciated!

It was Brant who was chasing her he said he said I can smell her before he could see her on page 1 he liked the chase

Hey! New reader here! Before I start to read do the forgotten stories need to be read in order? I seen the second one on my recommend list and wanna read it but not sure if I need to read the first one before it!
AMLKoski
@wolf_lovers_books they can be standalone but characters will be referencing the prior book or dynamics will be mentioned but not explained because they were in the book prior. So its personal preference mostly.
