          I'm unpublishing my story so I can edit the chapters and then re-publish them. I'm trying to be less wordy. So far I've removed one chapter, so it's all going to be offset by at least one. Don't worry, the titles of the chapters should help you know where you left off. No drastic changes, just cleaning up the structure and getting rid of fillers.

Time has flown! I realize I released the latest chapter on Easter (oops), so I’m sure it was easy to miss. The following chapter is also already done, but I’m trying to force myself to wait until a week has passed to upload it. Gotta keep some kind of reasonable pacing!
          
          I’m looking forward to any feedback ya’ll want to offer me. I’ve realized that if this were a printed book, it’d be well over 200 pages by now. Is that too slow of a slow burn? What could I cut out?
          
          Maybe if I think of it more like the comic it once was, then I can get an idea of how fast things should move. Drawing takes a lot of time after all, so if it wasn’t important enough to draw then it probably wasnt important enough to write. Thinking I could easily get rid of chapter 2, here. Maybe 10 & 16, also. Idk, what do you think?

Y’all ever take a step back from the internet as a whole and realize life feels less stressful without it?
          
          I went on a small trip in the middle of February to visit family and see some sights, and I just…didn’t get back on social media as much afterward. 
          
          It feels both rewarding and sad though because I often find that success is tied to the internet. I can’t sell a painting without advertising online in one way or another. I won’t find readers if I stop posting new chapters (chapters which I’m now taking more time with and trying not to stress over). 
          
          But it’s so nice not being inundated with people fighting over lifestyle choices that don’t harm others. It’s freeing to not see how much hate is out there in our hearts, splattered over our FYP’s. 
          
          That’s kind of where I’m at right now. I’m still thinking of my story, still tweaking it here and there when I have inspiration, but I also just want to paint again. I haven’t painted in months. Or drawn, really. I also want to enjoy the outside—nature—before it is taken down to complete ruin. 
          
          I just want to experience the world in front of me. 

My home internet has been out for two days, and it’s Centurylink…so you know what that means.  My story chapters are on my pc so I’ll post as soon as i have internet again, whenever that may be!

Hey ya'll! Forgive me for my sudden inconsistencies with uploading. I both got distracted with stuff and also hit a bit of a slump. I'm nearly caught up to what I've already pre-written, and it's making me super nervous! I definitely don't want to be writing a chapter weekly...especially if it hasn't "come to me" quite yet. I even sat down and tried to write out a timeline or outline, and I got stuck where I am now in my files and where I plan to go. Just a big empty chunk of mystery...
          
          I don't mind time jumps necessarily...but what do you guys think of them? What contexts do you prefer major leaps or not?

Whew! Wild night. Did not sleep well. How many of you also endured that crazy storm with tornado warnings??

Happy new year everyone! This year i plan to finish the book which means not only adding more chapters but also refining and condensing existing chapters. It’s still a slow burn of course but maybe it could use a little boost  
          
          What goals have you set for yourself this new year?

Hi! I hope you're doing well. I was wondering if you could give a shot at my urban fantasy romance: The Courage of Stars. It'd mean a lot to me.
          
          Thank you for your time in advance.
