I finally made it to full-time hours with my job! They gave me a raise today! It took about two years with Patriots Point. Hopefully, next year, I’ll become a full-time employee with more benefits. :)

Hey, guys! So, I made it home safe and sound. My mom wants me to stay a little longer than a week—poor thing!—so I may take another extra few days off Wattpad for her. I’ll check in occasionally to see how y’all are doing, but don’t expect any new content for a little over a week. I still have my duties with the Boot Camp Mentors, though. :)

Wattpad vacation… Starting now! Yay! See you guys in a week on Sunday! I have a new story idea that I may or may not pursue when I return. I’m still giving Bill and the Claxton stories a chance, so we’ll see!
          
          Love you all, and may the Force be with you! :)

I have a two-week work furlough starting in a few days, from June 8th to June 22nd! I need this; I've been so busy with prepping Bill and the Claxton stories, the Boot Camp Mentors, and judging for Unification. 
          
          I was going to take a week off from Wattpad to clear my head and catch up on summer reading, and then I'll hopefully come back with a fresh head of ideas and critiques. 
          
          I'm finishing up some proofreading for The Beast of the Bermuda Triangle right now. I think it's going to be my last story for me to work on until Week One of the furlough ends. I can't wait to see you guys again, but this little writer is only human and needs breaks, too.
          
          Love you all, and may the Force be with you! Wattpad vacation starting in just a few days! :)

@Avada_Kedavra503 hey, and congrats! You could use the snipping tool if it won’t save when you put your mouse on it. I can also always send it to you via Discord or email.

That's another query done! This company specializes in clean young adult fantasy, so I thought I would try Claxton there. I'm not expecting to get anything, but hopefully, one day I will. I'll just keep trying. I have two weeks off from work coming soon, so I'll probably take some time off from querying. Bill and the Whistling Death is still my priority, but Claxton falls a little more under the modern market of YA Fantasy (including the bad boy trope flipped, coming-of-age themes, and a subtle paranormal romance). It's still niche, but not as niche as Bill.
          
          We'll see what happens! I'm waiting to hear back from three companies right now. :)
