I'm really sorry about disappearing the last two weeks friends. Been very sick. Starting to get better. Hopefully I'll be around more in a minute--- quick thank you to everyone who's voted and commented on Out of Sight while I've been gone, you made me smile in bed. <3

Happy August folks!!
          
          I'm so happy to announce/say Out of Sight is the Dreamland Community book of the month. Seeing fresh faces and people get to view the full new content of OS is going to make my heart so so happy. I'll be really excited and grateful to see who jumps in the games. 
          
          I may or may not be working on a new side project... You know... Ideas come and go but I've been writing back in Gen. Fic. Again which I kind of love and so it might not spook off?
          
          If you want, I'll put up the first line or a funny quote and see if there's any responses. 
          
          Might mean the difference between me writing it on and offline, you know? Lol. 
          
          Anyway, thanks guys! As time goes on I'll probably has more to say but life is still hard so I'm just doing my best to think positive. Love yall!

Congratulations on being Dreamland’s Book of the Month for August - September! We are so excited to start reading your book! 
          

Merry Christmas in July to all my Loves on here! 
          
          Out of Sight has officially been submitted to the Wattys and I couldn't be happier with the changes I've been able to make in the time frame I had. ONC gave me the space to create one of my favorite works and I am so happy I get to share it with everyone I can. Thank you, sincerely, from the bottom of my heart, for every single click you've given me on this book. It means the world. 
          
          The final change list is posted down below, but I really do hope some of you take the journey with me again. Love you guys.
          
          Good luck to everyone who entered! I'll be making a reading list for fellow participants here shortly! <3 Night night!

TUESDAY IS THE GREATEST DAY OF ALL TIME!
          
          No but really, today feels like something I dreamed of since 2023 when I managed this the first time. Out of Sight is officially complete AND Novel length! We are one step closer to entering the Wattys!!
          
          Now all I need to do is write out the plot summary!
          
          For ease of Navigation, here is a list of chapters with anywhere from 75 to 100% modifications if you'd like to skip through the new chapters. 
          
          Chapter 9, Chapter 10, Chapter 13, Chapter 18, Chapter 19, and the Epilogue. These are all marked chapters by having 2 stars instead of 1.
          
          Now, Chapters 20-24 all went under massive editing and do contain new content as well, but don't fit under my designation of mostly new.
          
          Thank you guys so much for checking everything out and supporting my work as I continue to push through ONC and the Wattys! Love you guys!

Good Monday folks!!
          
          I am happy to announce that Chapters 10, 13, and 18 are now available, they are anywhere from 80% to 100% brand new, never seen before content, and despite it being crunch time, I think I'm on track to having a Wattys ready submission by the end of tomorrow. 
          
          You know. If I can write that pesky summary on time too. 
          
          I'd love it if you gave the new chapters some love, I had fun writing them, especially chapter 10. Who doesn't love a laundromat? lol. Thank you in advance XD
          
          Continue pushing through everyone! I believe in you! <3

Happy Thursday/Friday everyone!
          
          I know it's a bit late to be smacking my keyboard but unfortunately the Wattys wait for no one lol. Per ONC rules, it is officially past July 15th and I can edit Out of Sight again. I'll be doing this in installments of sorts. 
          
          Chapters 1 - 8 have Officially been replaced with the Wattys Edition, with new content and grammatical blood, sweat, and tears. Starting with Chapter 9, there will be new chapters added throughout, including 9 itself. I will be marking these chapters with an extra star on each side of the Chapter title so those of you who have read the novella and only want to read the new content can skip around, although I HIGHLY recommend giving a skim to everything as there are a lot of new details and content that may not be marked. I will also post a list of new chapters once OS has been officially submitted to the Wattys.
          
          Thank you all for being so awesome. I've been so happy to see all the new reading list adds and I promise I appreciate them so much even if I don't have the time to go thank everyone individually right now. 
          
          Good luck everyone!!

Poll time friends!!
          
          So as I've been editing and writing Out of Sight offline for the Wattys, right? I'm making great progress, nearing 75% of the way done and I need your help. 
          
          Would you rather I take the book down and re-upload all the new content at once? 
          
          OR 
          
          Would you rather I just manipulate the existing content, post what needs to be posted, and rearrange the chapters with a list or emoji to signify what content is new? 
          
          Or any other options you could think of. 
          
          Obviously, these suggestions will be taken into consideration alongside ONC and I'd love to give them as much time as possible to post the shortlist and the winners, however, the Wattys Deadline is approaching on the 23rd and I need to start planning for multiple scenarios. 
          
          Thank you guys so much for reading and all your feedback!! <3

Hey friends! I think it's about time for a life update. 
          
          Firstly, so happy to see Out of Sight has made it onto the Long List for ONC which always brings me so much joy. Congratulations everyone who also made it or won one of the rounds!!
          
          The last two months have been very difficult for me *insert emotional rollercoaster here* and in addition to dealing with buying a house and moving, there have been several health and financial issues pulling me away. Life really be life-ing. I appreciate everyone who's checked in on me or just the grace and good fortune I've been given to keep surviving through the ups and downs. Little joys are everything to me right now. 
          
          OS is being re-written/edited offline for the Wattys and I am so excited to say that despite everything I'm about half way done. Its crunch time now though. Only one month left give or take right?
          
          Just want to thank everyone again for hanging in there with me. Thank you to all the new people reading OS and adding it to reading lists right now. We just passed last years entry for reads :D
          
          Love you all. Happy July!

Okay everyone! Every chapter has been edited, every scene thoroughly looked through and added too (or cut down) and we are off to the races! OS is now officially COMPLETE and SUBMITTED!! <3 
          
          Looking forward to taking a breath and catching up on my reading now! Good luck everyone! You can do it!
