Hello friends! It turns out my computer is still not quite fixed so it'll still be some time until the new chapter of QAC. I'm sorry! Thanks for bearing with me. xo

Hi there. Just kindly asking when you are planning to update/answer question/s on "Questions About Christianity".
          Have a great day! :D

Hey, it's totally fine. I completely understand. Life is hectic, so let it calm down. Get your priorities straight, so please don't worry about updating and don't feel bad. I'm sure this is one of the least important things in your life right now, so don't feel as if I'm pressuring you. 
            
            Thanks, and I hope everything settles down soon enought! :D

Hi! Gosh, yes, I was just thinking about QAC. I feel horrible. Unfortunately, a lot of stuff has been going down lately either with school, anxiety, job hunting, no access to computers, etc. I haven't forgotten about it, though, I swear! When my computer is repaired, hopefully life will calm down enough to allow me to start working on QAC again. You know, forget that. I WILL start working on it again. I'm going to say right now that I will have a new chapter Saturday. There. Now I absolutely have to work on it. 
            
            Thanks for your patience and your interest in "Questions About Christianity"!

Do you like to design covers? I have a novella, titled "Pas de Deux," (which I've just uploaded an excerpt of!) but unfortunately the cover is a little...unprofessional, to say the least. I don't have the original image anymore, sadly, to redo the typsetting. Does anyone know a way to somehow remove the text?

Hi there! :) I've decided to check out your story TTWW again when I realized that you're wanting to publish it. I think that's really great! I'd love to see it published since it's a really good story and I would definitely buy it! :) Anyways I wish you all the best with it and good luck! (BTW what title name did you end up giving you're story? ^^)

Oh, that is so kind of you! Thank you! I finished revising TTWW, and I'm actually working with my professor to try and polish up a summary of it to use as a query letter to agents. I will say that quite a lot has changed in the new draft, but I think this is a much more gripping narrative, so hopefully it has a better chance at being picked up by a publisher. I'll let you know if I have any exciting news to announce. :) As for the title, for now I've gone with A Beauty's Curse. Thanks so much for your support!

Okay, sooooo a lot of you commented on how to improve TTWW after I announced I was planning on giving out discounted copies to those who did so. And I still might do that. The only thing is...this draft is better than the one that was on Wattpad. Dare I say--a lot better. And, I sort of want to try getting an agent for publishing it the traditional way. But if, by some miracle, the new version is picked up by a publisher, I doubt I will have any say on who gets discounted copies or when it's on sale. I really wasn't planning on considering traditional publication for it, but my professor was talking to me and I've just felt, "You know, I want to try going the trade publishing route again." But I feel horrible at the possibility of not keeping my word. Would you guys be very angry/upset if I miraculously became published and wasn't able to give out discounted copies? If you would, I will merely self-publish it. But if you guys don't care, I will submit it to agents when it's done. It's just that, if I'm going to hire editors and cover artists to self-publish, that's quite expensive, and if I am offered a contract by a publishing company, at least I wouldn't have to pay them. Please let me know your thoughts!
