My "Lost Hope" readers,
          The Revised copy is being published to Inkitt for those of you would like to read it. Keep in mind that as some of the things will be very similar to the Original, Emma's story will be told in a much different way. I will be publishing one chapter EVERY FRIDAY @ 3:00pm EST while I continue to work through the edits. For those of you who don't use Inkitt, the Revised copy will only be available on Inkitt. So, please do not ask to bring it here.

For those of you who've read "Lost Hope" and enjoyed reading this version, I would encourage you to read it again before the revised version gets published to the world. It'll still be the same story, but there's a lot I'm taking out and new things I'm putting in it. And once "Lost Hope" get published, I will no longer leave the full manuscript up for free. You will get a taste of the revised version and you'll have to buy the book if you want to read the whole thing. I know you're probably thinking what's taking so long. Don't fret, the editing stage takes longer than you think. I have two more rounds of editing to do after the first round. Yes, I have set TAL aside while I'm working on these revisions because my brain has a hard time keeping them separate from each other. Once the revisions on "Lost Hope" are done I will resume working on TAL.

I thought I would try something new...I just posted my new book "Truly, Yours". Writing a new book was not what I had on my mind nor was it my intention. I've been having trouble trying to write chapter 14 of TAL. In fact, I haven't gotten around to writing it at all. After I said I was planning on writing it, I slipped and fell on my stairs and got a minor case of whiplash in my upper back. I was extremely tired for about a week and a half after my chiropractor set it back in place. I am doing a lot better though now that I'm getting my back straightened out, literally. But anyways, I know what I want to do for 14, I just need to do some "research" before I write it. With that said, I came up with "Truly, Yours". This is something I will be working on overtime. It might take several years before it comes to an end. "Truly, Yours" won't keep me from writing my other books I am currently working on. My hope is that I can get some practice in with poetry, cause I kinda suck. But don't be afraid to let me know what you guys think of it. Any feedback helps.

I'm sorry I haven't posted an update for a couple weeks. I haven't been experiencing writer's block, thankfully. My brain is full of ideas but it's been hard to put them together with how scrambled my brain has been. I am slowly recuperating. The first week of seeing a chiropractor was hard and most of my energy was spent. I was probably in more pain that first week of having my back being realined from a more than a year old injury. I am actually starting to get more energy back now that I haven't been in pain from the realining for the past few days. I am kind of annoyed that my appoints are like two to three times a week. The good things is that my back is starting to feel better. I probably won't update TAL for maybe the next week or two. I really do wanna make 14 a long chapter so I'm going to try to piece it together before I start writing it. 13 is ready to be posted but I'm not going to post it here until I have 14 posted to Inkitt. I hope you all are staying safe and healthy and I hope you all had a wonderful 4th!

Dear country music fans,
          Is it just me, or does Lady A sound like Taylor Swift? I have always thought this since I was really young, ever since their song Quarter After One came out on radio. Let me know what country singers you think sound alike.
          Bonus: I also think Rascal Flatts sound kinda like Lonestar

I'm guessing some of you are probably wondering when chapter 12 and maybe 13 is coming. Well, I will most likely not get 2 chapters in this week. I'm dealing with some health issues. I'm not sick or anything, I injured my back at work over a year ago and it's still giving me issues. My work I'm guess is trying to get away with not having to pay for it, so I gotta take matters into my own hands. By the end of this month I will most likely have seen a chiropractor and will probably have an idea of what is wrong with it. I will try my best to update TAL this week, but I'm just exhausted.  Stay tuned for more!

Chapter 9 of TAL has been publish, look forward to seeing your comments ;)

Author's Note in "The Archer's Loss": My loyal readers, I just want to say that writer's block is a real thing. I know I say that quite a bit, but it is true regardless of what some of you may think. Some authors hardly experience this and some go through it quite a bit. Me, I go through writer's block more often than I want to admit. I personally don't like to write while I have writer's block because I don't typically do my best work. So with that said, I try to wait it out and keep myself busy with other projects or maybe doing a little bit or reading to help inspire me and be rid of my writer's block. I'm sure you have figured out by now, after I wrote chapter 7 I tried my best to push out 8. It hit me while I was writing it, but I still tried my best to get it out. After I had it published to Inkitt in April, I decided to ride out the block. I wasn't overly happy with the whole witch thing and wanted to take it out want rewrite the last couple of chapters it was involved with, but then the other day I decided that I was just going to leave it because there are books that have not so great parts. I'm just going to try and build off that and make it better or have it be one of those things that only lasts like maybe a few chapters and move on to the next thing. I'm still figuring out what I am going to do. I might in the future when I finish this book and work on editing it, change some thing's here and there. I did get past the whole writer's block and as a result of that, chapter 9 is up on Inkitt. I will try my best to get chapter 10 done if I got the time. I forgot how early I needed to be up if I wanted to work on some writing before work. That's it for now. Thank you for listening to me ramble!

I have not gone away! If you are a fan of my works and wondering where I have been all this time, then go see the Important Author's Note I have published in "The Archer's Loss". There I will kind of explain why I have been dormant, but it mostly explains what is going to happen with the book. If you have questions, feel free to ask in a comment in this post or in a comment in the note.

Hello my lovely followers! 
          Last night I came up with a new book. I know, I have a million other books I'm working on, but just keep reading this message. The new book is called "Heartache", the cover is also one of my pictures I recently took on a family vacation. The idea of this book came up from things I'm kind of tired of people saying. So, I'm going to pour my heart out into this new book and I will make sure that this book will be the best book any one will ever read. You will not be able to put the book down. If you are able to, let me know and I will make it better.  The hope is that this is ten times better than my first book. So far, I have planned it to start as a book like any real day book and then it will start to go into the fantasy portion and then maybe go back to reality. I'm still putting the pieces together. I hope you guys really love my new book.
          ~Emma
