@AngieMahlke
I’m on vacation with my family in Florida and I completely forgot today is Monday. So here is a belated note to say Chapter 2 “Who is Charlie?” is up.
Last week’s poll showed that the majority of you have never been on a blind date. Same. And I’m not sad about that. It sounds awful!!
Hello, everyone! Today is the day we start a new story!! I can't wait for you to get to know Charlie more (as he also gets to know himself) and meet Olive!
What happens when your mom sets you up on a blind date that you really, really don't want to be on? Find out in Chapter 1 "You're Mr. Rogers deep into tanking this date."
As for the poll last week, we have a tie for your favorite couple. Vivi & Archie and Sutton & Kelly are neck in neck, with Finn & Rylie close behind.

I'm a newbie writer and have just found your stories so amazing and inspiring. I would be honored if you could give what I'm working on a read and tell me what you think
Thank you! I really appreciate your kind words. I left a little feedback on your work. I hope it was helpful.
In case you're curious on how I get inspiration for the characters and scenes, I have Pinterest boards for them. Beware: some pins might be spoilers. Look at your own risk.
The characters are just rough estimates of how I see them. Except Archie. That one is exactly how I picture him.
I haven't created any pins for book 6 (the one I'm obsessively writing at the moment) because that would surely be one huge spoiler. But just know I have a TON of pics saved as inspo that I'll add once that book is posted.

Guess what? We've come to the end of Vivi and Archie's story. The epilogue "Is this some sort of incestuous orgy?" is now up as well as a little sneak peek of the next story.
Be warned: the epilogue is long!! I couldn't help myself. I just kept adding and adding. There are some teasers for upcoming stories in the epilogue, too. See if you can find them.
Next Monday we will start with Charlie and meet a new character! I'm so excited for you guys to fall in love with these two!
Which brings me to last week's poll. I asked which character you hoped was up next. I was not expecting the results to be so close. I honestly thought the big winner was going to be Sully based on comments from everyone. But it's the closest poll yet with Sully and JJ tying at 35% and Charlie lagging only slightly behind with 30%.
Well, the 30% that voted for Charlie, you're welcome!!
@romanticsaturn oh yay!! You checked out the Pinterest boards! I’m glad you liked the epilogue and the hints! It’s hard being so far ahead in writing because I forget you guys don’t know all the things I know yet.
@AngieMahlke thank you for sneaking in Teddy's wedding! Loved the epilouge chapter and all the hints you dropped for the new book. Annddd I love the mood boards for the books and totally picture everyone as you have
Hi! Can I just take a second before getting to business to squeal a teeny tiny bit about the brand new character that is introduced in book 6? I may have a teensy weensy crush on him already. (Hint: he will one day have his own book!!)
So anywho...the last chapter before the epilogue is up. Go see how Archie responds to Vivi's question in chapter 40 "They aren't happy with their eviction notice."
Last week's poll showed most of you sympathetic to Vivi's feelings regarding Archie updating his house with about a 60/40 split. I'm super curious how you'll vote in this week's poll so please don't skip it!
@AngieMahlke thanks! Yes, that makes sense not to have all of weddings in such detail unless you wanted to write a few chapters as standalone for a book that just had a set of extras. Makes sense to use the wedding(s) to bring some of the characters together
As far as the weddings are concerned, I’ll just say some are off paper (just mentioned) and some sneak their way in eventually in snippets and some still haven’t happened yet as I’m halfway through writing book 6. I can’t see writing a full fledged wedding scene ever (from start to finish), but you’ll definitely get updates on the previous couples as the other stories play out. If I wrote every single wedding scene, it’d get tiresome. There will be so many couples by the end!!
Hello, everyone! Before you flit off to read the latest chapter of book 4, I just wanted to gush about how much I'm loving the characters from book 6!! I wrote and wrote and wrote so much over the weekend. I'm nearly halfway done with their story now. And as excited as I am to share book 5 with you (because I loooove those characters too), I'm wishing it was time to share book 6!! I need you to love them with me!
Back to business...chapter 39 "Both can be true at once" is up now. Only one chapter and the epilogue remain before we say good-bye to Vivi and Archie. Well, until we get glimpses of them in the stories to come, of course.
Last week's poll was pretty definitive. Most everyone says they find the sister dynamic realistic. I have two sisters and a cousin who (like JJ) practically lived with us, so I can vouch that we do in fact bicker like this.

@nutellalover482 I’m so glad you are! Makes me happy that people look forward to reading my stories!
We get to see Vivi post breakup in Chapter 38 "I'm invoking your emergency sisterhood card for you." Happy reading!
As for last week's poll, there's a tie between people not wanting to ruin the book by dog earring the pages and those who think it's fine.
Good morning! Who was completely blindsided by last week's chapter? According to the poll, 75% of you did not see that coming.
Hop back into the story with Chapter 37 "It's most likely the other way around."

Are you ready for more of Vivi and Archie? Chapter 36 "I'm so far off balance that I might as well be upside down" is now up!
Last week's poll was showed a huge majority of you thought Archie should have been forthright with Vivi about seeing her dad. Hmm...we shall see if this really does bite him in the butt.
