Offering a peek into what I’ve been working on for the past few months. 
          Get Lost To Be Found has taken up such a large part of my brain for so long. 
          I hope you like it 

I know I’ve been fairly quiet in my updates (chapter posts aside). 
          
          That’s because I’ve been working on something new… and I’m really excited about it. It might become my next big writing project, and I’d love to hear what you think—even predictions—before I get too much further in it. 
          
          Based on this opening, what do you think happens? Is there anything you hope to see in a story like this? 
          
          Title: Get Lost to Be Found
          
          The first page:
          
          The following pages contain journal entries and detailed accounts from the days of a widely publicized survival story off the coast of Thailand. 
          
          Most have read the headlines.
          Many have shared the news clips on social media.
          But a few know what actually took place.
          
          You know the perfectly acceptable version of events.
          But it lacks quite a lot in order to be click bait.
          For example, it doesn’t mention the night the fire went out. 
          Or how coconuts can absolutely betray you.
          Or the fact that I lack certain key skills for survival. 
          
          But now you get to know the unedited story found between sand-covered journal pages and sleep deprived moments.
          The one that contains the moment an island changed a life. 
          Or two.
          
          *** 
          So what do you think? 
          What genre does this opening make you feel? 
          And more importantly, what do you think happens on the island? 

I can’t believe it. Darcy Davies is Dating a Spy has only 5 chapters left!
          
          I hope everyone that’s gotten the chance to read it, has been enjoying it so far. 
          This was so fun to write as it’s the first high-stakes, adventure/thriller I’ve attempted. 
          
          Stay tuned for a sneak peek of a new story in the next coming weeks! 
          
          Happy reading! 

If anyone was curious about the music that powered me through writing Because, Of course...
          
          Look up Taylor Acorn and Charlotte Sands! ❤️
          
          Both of these artists helped me understand and visualize Emryn Ashford to her full potential.

Hey everyone! 
          
          I know I hinted at two potential stories in the works, however, one requires a bit more editing. I realized the slow burn romance needs some major adjustments. So I’m going to return to that one to give it more love and attention. 
          Right now, I have such a decent chunk of Darcy Davies’ story written and am moving forward with that on here. 
          Chapter 4 dropped today, and you’ll see the next on Sunday. 
          
          Happy reading! ❤️

Hi all! 
          
          Felt a little generous and consumed with the holiday spirit... so peep the first chapter of one of the stories I've been working on lately.
          I'm really excited about this one! 
          Darcy Davies is Dating a Spy has consumed my entire mind as of late. 
          I hope you enjoy the first chapter! 
          Happy holidays!!

Hello!!
          I'm currently working on two very different stories, neither of which are finished yet. (Working full-time and letting my brain be eaten alive by plot twists should count as a second job at this point.) 
          
          So I'm curious how you all would feel about: 
          -- A spy-related sapphic thriller with disaster lesbian  x protective hero vibes
          -- A slow burn, rivals-ish reality TV workplace romance
          
          I'm working on both, but I'd love to know:
          Which would you like updates for first? 
          Which sounds more bingeable?
          Should I alternate updates on both?
          
          Let me know in the comments!
          Appreciate you all!
          Chelsea (aka a writer in a committed relationship with self-induced chaos)

Hiii! 
          Just popping on here to give everyone an update! 
          If anyone has been keeping up with Emryn and Mallorie... just know that on my end, I have it all completed! 
          Aaaand, I have another story in the works! I don't have enough written yet where I feel safe enough to start posting (just in case the writing process throws me a massive curveball).
          I'm so thrilled to see all the comments, votes, and messages. Keep 'em coming! 
          Fingers crossed you'll be able to meet my new characters: Becca Martin and Catriona Whitmore, as they navigate the complexities of dream careers and creative hobbies. 
          I hope to have this to you soon, I promise!

Hey Chelsea! The book "written in the margins" is so so so good. It is so refreshing to read, the real emotions, the real life.... I mean this is by far one of the best books I have read on this platform. Thank you for writing this beautiful piece ❤️

Oh, hi!
          
          For those of you following Emryn and Mallorie's journey... I wanted to give you an update:
          
          I have a trip coming up soon, so, based on internet connection, I will do my best to make sure the chapters get published. 
          
          So make sure to keep an eye out for those!
          
          Happy reading!
