I'm writing some initial things for the rewrite of TAW and I think some people will not be happy with how I'm handling James because I fear I am writing his and Lil's dynamic as an actually realistic depiction of a 16 year old boy and his 13 year old sister LOL

I really need them to have a distinctly different dynamic than Raven and Skie because the Matthews sisters 1) are close and 2) actively realize that their dad is abusive and realize that that's not right. Whereas James and Lil aren't close, especially at the beginning of the story, and do Not realize how bad their mom has gotten (especially James.)

I’m not posting this as an announcement so idk who will see this but I just wanted to put out there that my main goals for the year are:
          
          1. Finish posting For The Better
          2. Start posting the TAW rewrite (working titles: Somewhere Only We Know/Something to Rely On)
          3. Write whatever I want in Tales
          
          That’s really it. I’ve been having a lot of fun writing recently and I want to stay creative rather than boxing myself in by doing things in a logical order LOL. 
          
          I also want to officially say that this is the final year that Thin As Water will be published, as soon as I start writing the new version it will be taken down. There’s a lot of reasons for that but the general gist is that that book was written while I was really mentally unwell and I don’t think it really does a disservice to my characters, especially Lil, James, and Hazel. I’m pretty uncomfortable with some of the themes that I put in there (read: James and Lil’s absolutely awful dynamic) and there are other themes (read: Mrs. VanGrayson) that I think I can handle with a lot more nuance now. The original version of FTB is fine, that’s just unpolished writing, but TAW is genuinely *bad* and I don’t want that story to be a reflection of my work anymore. 
          
          tl;dr - i’m writing things and TAW is not one of them LOL
          
          Cheers!

I fear now Wicked has become extremely mainstream and people will probably figure out where the titles of Skie's stories came from

Oops, I’m sleepy. *It does a real disservice to my characters. LOL

Hi there! 
          Two chapters in one week? More likely than you might think! "Little Cousin" features Hazel and her little cousin Maya who we originally met in chapter 4 of Thin as Water, and this one is actually a sequel to that plot line. You can check it out in my Tales of EHPA book!

Hello! 
          New chapter in Tales of EHPA today, "Dozens" is the story of how Hazel and James broke a record by having to punish an entire grade. I know people have been asking for more James content, your wish is my command! Cheers!

I'm working on some James content btw! There's going to be some young James and Hazel as rivals and then some older James and Hazel afterwards.

Merry Christmas everyone! As a slightly belated Christmas gift, I've done the thing I've threatened to do for years and posted the original version of Take Me Instead (yes, the one set in a one room schoolhouse.) You can find it in my Files of EHPA: Take Me Instead book. 
          For the Better will be back soon! Cheers!

Hello! 
          I've added another chapter to my Tales of EHPA book as I continue to work on finishing up the FTB rewrite, it's another longer sequel story featuring Hazel and a previously unseen character, and it's pretty cute, imo. 
          Thank you for reading! FTB will continue within the next few weeks!
