Hey everyone!
I know it's been a while. Thank you for your patience!
Quick update on where things stand:
All my Kindle novels are now available in Spanish, German, and French!
✍️ I hit a wall with writing and needed to step back, but I'm not done; I just needed fresh stories and a better routine. I'll be working part-time at Girls Inc. a few days a week, which should help a lot.
I'll be submitting Falling Stars to traditional publishers! Fingers crossed!
Here's where the stories are at:
▸ Back to Him: Pushing to finish editing by the end of the month
▸ Clearing Karma: adding Antonia's POV chapters, then back to regular posting
▸ Secrets and Lies: I hate this novel. I just need the motivation to spend a weekend banging out the last few chapters
▸ I found a lost manuscript I thought I deleted! Meet Ellie and Theo. More information in the link below!
If you've read any of my published novels on Amazon/Kindle, please leave a review! It helps so much with the algorithm.
Full update linked below!

@CharmingArachnid Love your stories. I understand about hitting a wall. Can't wait for updates.

Hey everyone,
First, I'm so sorry for missing Thursday's update. I caught the flu and basically spent Wednesday to Friday coughing, having hot and cold flashes and sleeping. I also made everyone else in my house sick, so thank you to the parents who decided their sick child's picture with the Easter Bunny was more important than everyone else's health. Really appreciate it
I also wanted to give you a heads-up that there won't be any posts this week. Between naps, I was thinking about Clearing Karma’s storyline, and I’m really not happy with it. At first, I was thinking, “It’s a first draft, just get it down, you can adjust it when you edit it later.”
But that thinking is making it hard to write. I don’t like how it’s mostly focused on the investigation rather than Maverick and Antonia, so I’m going to take this week to sit down and figure out what needs to change. This might mean adding chapters, expanding existing ones, or completely rewriting what’s already been done.
I'd rather take the time to get it right than rush something out that doesn't feel true to the story. Thank you so much for sticking with me. I'll be back soon!
CharmingArachnid
@CeeHope I get it. I made that mistake before, and there's nothing more frustrating. I really try not to abandon the stories, and I will finish Clearing Karma; I just had to step back for a bit and figure out why I was struggling. I posted an update and will hopefully have the new chapters posted next week.
CeeHope
Ok, that answered my question I came here for. I am recently new to Wattpad and I just finished Karma’s Kiss and absolutely loved it. I went to start the sequel clearing karma then I noticed it hadn’t been updated in a while. I did not want to start it and then been disappointed that it had been abandoned. That is the biggest negative I found about this platform, I’m learning look check for dates before I get invested.

OMG! I didn’t even read the first in the trilogy - just straight to Back to HIm. But let me tell you BtH was BRILLIANT!!!!! Now I need to go to Amazon and buy Evie’s Story! I can’t wait for all of them to be available for my Kindle!! Thank you!
CharmingArachnid
Happy Easter! I hope the Easter Bunny brought lots of chocolate!
Sorry about my posting schedule. I took on a two-week contract helping out with Easter Bunny Photos with friends of mine, and I did my best to write and preschedule chapters to go up, but by the end, I was exhausted. Far too many people and screaming children.
I'll make up for missing last Thursday's post by posting two on Tuesday, and then we'll be back to the regular schedule.

Hey! Love your books, binged two already! But I’m slightly confused about the trilogy (Back to) that’s on here? What’s the reading order as book one i the shortest and book three completed?
KarinFransisca2024
@CharmingArachnid thank you for the explanation! I might just wait till you’ve published all three before I read them all, then!
CharmingArachnid
@KarinFransisca2024 Thank you so much! The Trilogy order is: Evie's Story, Before Him and Back to Him. Evie's Story is available in full on Amazon. The trilogy is confusing (right now) for a couple of reasons: 1. All these novels were on Wattpad before; I took them down because they were being stolen, and just recently reposted them. 2. Back to Him was written first, and it started as a Marvel Fanfiction, which meant I didn't need back stories for the characters. People asked me for more information, so I ended up writing Evie's Story and Before Him as prequels/backstories. There wasn't much to them. 3. I'm in the process of editing and revising the trilogy for publication, and many changes and adjustments are being made. Evie's Story, for example, went from 42 chapters and just over 42,000 words to 60 chapters and something like 126,000 because I expanded on so much. 4. Because Evie's Story has been published on Amazon. I can only use the first 10,000 words as promotion, which is why it's so short.

Hi I have a book idea I think will be very cool if you wrote btw I love your books you inspired me to start writing I posted my first book last year on here and it's doing very well okay so the book idea I have is cheating husband wife catches him cheating with sister she doesn't expose them she tells sisters husband they get their revenge ruin the cheating spouses careers and end up together
CharmingArachnid
@Tara_luve That's Amazing! I'm so happy you wrote and posted it. Love that for you! The plot is pretty similar to my novel, Temptation, just with the sibling twist, so I'm not sure I could do it twice, but I think it sounds like something you should write. Cheating spouse stories where Karma comes back and bites them in the ass do very well on here.

Hello!
New here. Found your story clearing karma on a pay by chapter app called JoyTale. I reported it as plagiarized but I’m not sure if it’d be better if you reached out to them. It’s got the same title. They have a link for email correspondence.
CharmingArachnid
@pd1013 Yeah, I don't know if it's the apps that do it or if it's some lazy person who has decided to profit off other peoples hard work and creativity like a parasite, but mine and other people's novels get stolen from here all the time and there's nothing Wattpad or the authors can do to prevent it. They screen shot the page, upload the pictures into Chat GPT or whatever and ask them to pull the writing and then put it in a document. I used to chase them down, but I also discovered most people will search for the free version and find my stuff on Wattpad, so now I just think of it as free promotion. Wish they'd stop, but once my book gets published on Amazon, Amazon goes after unauthorized copies of the novel for me.
