So I've posted the prologue-of-sorts to a story of mine I started writing years ago entitled "Falling into Pieces". I had intended on putting this story off for a while but, having just lost my mother - the sole inspiration for this book of forgiveness - I've decided to start working on it alongside everything else and sharing what I finish. Edmund is a fantastic character and I hope you all grow to love him as much as I did while developing his character.
          
          I have also uploaded a short-story-letter sort of thing that I started writing a few years back. I had intended for it to be multi-chapter like everything else I write, but have come to the conclusion that it's perfect the way it is. Well, mostly. I'm sure I'll edit it after a while, but it won't have any kind of extension. And that feels good. So feel free to check out "To My Only Love" and let me know what you think.
          
          I pulled all old chapters of "Innocence" and have put up the first rewritten chapter. I will eventually have a proper summary and the like, but first the story. I have the second chapter rewritten as well and the third is maybe halfway finished. The mood of the story has shifted slightly. I hope you all enjoy it even more than my previous rendition of the story.
          
          I will try to update more frequently than before, but only with story news. I will also be using the "Notify my Followers" checkbox because I feel I'm spammed enough by writers I follow that I'm owed something. Haha. Plus, those who forgot I existed because of weaker storylines can try pouring over my new edits. ^.~
          
          Thanks for your time, guys.

I haven't posted an update in EONS... I have updated my stories, though! Well, I've updated "Ashes, Ashes..." and I am working on the next chapter. It's a looooong chapter. It's already at 2500 words and is maybe two-thirds finished. Maybe less. It's a pretty big chapter.
          
          I've been working on a couple other stories as well, none of which have any chapters posted yet. They may not ever. I kinda want to finish them before Istart posting anything on them. The "Innocence" rewrite is going VERY well, in my humble opinion. I have the first two chapters all typed out, but I would like to get a few more finished before I start pulling the original chapters and replacing them with the new ones. Sure, the original is a little bogus, but it's something. I feel like my second attempt at it is MUCH better. I can't wait to finish that series. <3
          
          Thanks for hanging in there, dearest of readers!

Well, shoot. It's been a minute (or a year and a half) since I've updated here. I've been doing a lot of modeling lately, so I'm still creating, just in a different way. I've been sitting around and settling in to write, though. I've been thinking about my stories super hard. Every time I go back to read my outlines, I get super pumped and try to write a little bit in each story I want to finish at least each week. I'm taking it slow, yeah, but I really hope it ends up being worth it. Thanks for taking the time to check in!

Thanks for following! I'll be sure to check out your stories when I get the time and remember! <3 

You know how sometimes something happens and you've almost convinced yourself to forget about it but then something completely out of left field comes thwacks you on the head and forces you to obsess over it again?
          
          That's what's going on with this story right now.
          
          I feel like I'm doing more obsessing than writing! -_-

"P.S. It Never Happened", a chicklit.

          It was the smile that did her in, in hindsight. There was something she absolutely adored about boyish half smiles, an innocence in it that caused her heart to shoot into her throat. The hair had also been a factor, if she was completely honest with herself. Sometimes, when feeling particularly silly, she would call it "flippy hair" but she proved fish-like as the ends of his hair brushed gently against his upper lashes. Then there was the way his fingers danced across the frets of that old acoustic; she felt them leave goosebumps up and down her spine.
          
          Oh, and the way he said her name...

(((Next Ashes, Ashes... chapter preview. It may take a couple weeks for me to finish it but I love this tidbit enough to know I won't be getting rid of it.
          
          Ha. No one reads this anyway~~~)))
          
          
          "I would suggest you crawl a little faster or you won't make it home before the frostbite sets in." I had poked and prodded at his injuries for nearly twenty minutes and felt no better for it. He stared blankly up at me, the image of a broken man. Soon into our together time, his screams had turned to hoarse cries.
          
          I could no longer stomach him. I needed to go.
          
          "Goodbye, Anthony. I hope to never see your face again."

Hey, guys!
          
          So it's been a while since I've written to you all to update you on my stories... And I'm sure all of you are simply dying to know what's going on with me. (Yeah, okay...)
          
          I got a new job a couple of months ago so I've been busy, busy, busy with that! The new job kinda came with a giant case of writer's block, as I was so busy absorbing new information that I lost Lilibeth's and Jezebel's stories to the abyss.
          
          Buuuuut I went in and found them again.
          
          Innocence has thirteen chapters outlined, one of which has been completed. I will not be posting any of these chapters until I have more of them fleshed out. These chapters will be taking over the current running Innocence, as my creative side has opted to lead me into a deeper rabbit hole. Hopefully this one won't have a bottom.
          
          Ashes, Ashes... chapters one through four have all undergone some editing. Looking through them, I noticed not only lazy writing, poor descriptors, and forced paragraphs... but also spelling errors. Oh, I guess I covered lazy writing. And shame on me. :( I'm still having trouble working on the next chapter for Ashes, Ashes... but I do have other chapters outlined, some of which are already halfway fleshed out.
          
          So, yes,  I'm still alive. Yes, I'm still writing. Grown up life is hard, though!
          
          I will also hopefully have covers for both stories by the end of the winter season. AA... should be done just before winter, but we'll see! I'm pretty hype over all of it. :)

Thanks so much for reading and commenting on my story! :) I really appreciate the support! <3

Sorry for the delay, folks, but I'm rewriting chapter three of AA, and we just had a big move a couple weeks ago. My ChickLit story is still getting worked on as well, though, so hopefully I'll have something for you guys soon! <3
