Hey, everyone! Just a real quick update for you!
          	
          	Sorry for the lack of a chapter update. After getting ISBU published, I decided I was going to take a break for the holidays. Ironically, that break ended in me getting violently sick and being bedridden for the last half of it, so maybe that was a sign that I shouldn't have taken one. The writing keeps me youthful, haha.
          	
          	I'm going to get back to work now, although I'm admittedly brushing up against some writers block. There's a lot in Litany that I'm VERY excited to get to, but there are all these little bridging parts that are giving me some trouble to get right, as particular as I am about story flow and character interaction. All of this is to say, if you'll just be patient with me for a little longer, I'm hoping to be back on track soon. So sorry for the wait.
          	
          	Thank you again to everyone who bought a copy of ISBU last month and left a review; you have no idea how amazing it was to see so many people buy a copy and show interest in a physical work of mine. Your reviews were all so incredible, kind, and far more than I deserve. Thank you for that as well.
          	
          	I love you all so much, and can't wait to keep sharing my writing with you for years to come. More very soon. Happy new year!
          	
          	(P.S. I think I'm finally nearing being able to reveal that side thing I've been teasing for God knows how long now. Just need to get back into the rhythm of Lost in Litany full time, and then I'll feel comfortable posting the other stuff I've been working on. It's some bonus content that involves a certain journal from a certain work of current work of mine )

          	  And i want you to know that i scrambled to buy ISBU in December. I love the graphics, and i can't wait to reread. I'm gonna say I told you so because I KNEW it would be where it is one day. 
          	  
          	  I hope you feel better. Take care of yourself.

For all of you asking, prefering, or just not wanting to waste paper on a physical copy, the Kindle version of ISBU is out now!
          
          Sorry for the wait! I should have probably expected the desire for kindle and had this ready for the physical release too. I suppose that's just part of the first time learning curve of publishing haha. More knowledge for next time, I suppose!
          
          Now that I'm finally done, it's back to Lost in Litany having my full attention! At least for a while... Then it's time to start the publishing process for Lucidity  
          
          Thank you all once again for sticking with me through this journey so far! Can't wait to bring you more.

@KaylaHawkner so glad to hear that! Thank you so much again for supporting me!

After so many years of tinkering away on the story, it all finally comes to a head today.
          
          It's Somewhere Beneath Us is published in physical form, and available to purchase.
          
          There really isn't much else I can say (thanks to character limit) other than thank you. Thank you so, SO much. I know a simple book through KDP isn't a very big deal compared to some authors who have their works in book stores across the globe, but it means a great deal to me to be able to hold my work in my hands, bound and printed in a form that I'd always dreamed about. None of that would have happened without all of your positivity and encouragement over the years; I don't think I would have had the motivation to pursue it. Again, thank you.
          
          If you've enjoyed 'Somewhere Beneath Us' or any of my other work and would like to support me, please consider buying a copy; It would mean the world to me, and it would help push me a little closer toward that goal of maybe getting to do this as a career someday.
          
          If you do buy a copy and have the time, please also consider leaving a review! I don't know a whole lot about the kindle algorithm, but apparently they help a lot, and it would be awesome to have more people discover my writing.
          
          If you aren't interested in buying a physical copy or can't afford it right now, I completely understand. Still, I think it's your right to be able to read the last words of the novel under the special thanks section, so I'll leave them in the comments below.

@Ink_Wielder OMG I have been waiting for this moment the second I started reading it's somewhere beneath us. I remember think while reading why isn't it a book yet. I must say this is THE BEST story I read in this app. Thats to u I started to get an interest in this genre. Can't wait to read it again but as a book now. Thank you so much for giving us this. (For my self introduction in college I told everyone this is my favorite story even tho it's not a book yet now I can brag to everyone it's a book now XD). Keep writing amazing stories. I love the way you write.❤️❤️

@OldestDream99 aw thank you so much! I'm so flattered that my story is still your favorite and that you would share it with people like that. I hope you enjoy it as much reading it through again, especially since I went back and refined a lot of my less that stellar writing from that time haha. Thank you again for all your support and love over the years :) heres to hoping I can entertain you for more to come!

@Ink_Wielder Yeaaah, when I checked the predicted delivery date yesterday, it predicted it would arrive the day after I leave to go out of town ;_; So, I'm gonna hold off on ordering it until a few days before I come back home. But I WILL order it!!

It's Somewhere Beneath Us is officially up for review on Amazon KDP, and should be up soon if all goes well (Within 72 hours)! I'll make another announcement when I confirm that it actually is up, but in the meantime, just hang in there a little longer! We're almost there.
          
          So sorry that it took me so long to get this out to all of you who have wanted a physical copy, but thank you so much for your patience. I hope it will have been worth it!

@Ink_Wielder yay! I'm so excited!

Hey, everyone! 
          
          First off, sorry for such a long gap in posting (I know a month is bad, even for me), but I swear there's a decent reason this time! Editing is officially done for It's Somewhere Beneath Us! I forced myself to sit down the last few weeks and really get cracking on it, and we're finally done with the big stuff. Now, all that's left to do is finishing up the formatting and the cover, then one last little gloss over to make sure I didn't miss anything huge. 
          
          This week is Thanksgiving week, so I'm not sure how much I'll get done in that time, but the week after will be right back to work. I'm aiming for mid December to get it up on Amazon so you all get finally get your hands on a physical copy if you want one.
          
          I'm doing my best to get writing done on Lost in Litany in the background of all that too, so don't worry, chapters will still be flowing (hopefully at their usual pace again). A while ago, I also mentioned some "extra stuff coming down the line", and while it fell a little to the back burner, I still have a lot of that done and hopefully coming soon! I just am very poor at planning out content releases for you all, haha.
          
          Regardless, thank you all so much for the constant support and patience. I'm honestly super happy I get to make things for such lovely people to enjoy :) It really does keep me going. 
          
          Okay, that's all she wrote for now! Until next time!

@Ink_Wielder WOOOOOOO I'm so keen for a physical copy, Wish I could get it signed tho :'( but nice work!! I'm keen to own a copy of it and support you more :)

Hey, hey, people! New chapter of Litany out now! This is also the longest chapter I think I've ever written out of all my stories, so hopefull it's length is justified, haha.
          
          Oh, and remember that 'extra stuff' I mentioned that was coming down the line a while back? I'm still working on it, and hopefully, it'll be ready for you soon! I'm excited to share :)
          
          Lastly-- how does that one stupid saying go again? "Never ask a woman her age, a man his salary, or me how the progess on editing ISBU is coming."
          
          I'm still working through it, I promise 
          
          Thank you as always!

Hey hey people! After a bit of a hiatus, the next chapter of Lost in Litany is finally out! Sorry again for the long wait; I hope it was worth it :) I'll be working hard so that the next part doesn't take nearly as long to get out to you all. 
          
          Thank you for your patience, and as always, thanks for reading.

Hey everyone, just a quick update! 
          
          I know it's been taking me a lot longer lately to get chapters out to you guys and I apologize for that. You're all much more kind to me than I deserve when I'm slow at updates, and I'm really greatful for that. 
          
          Lately I've just been a little tired when it comes to writing. Not in the sense that I want to stop; I love writing, and it's not necessarily burnout either. I've just been getting home from work the last few weeks and feeling too drained to sit down and try to formulate the next part of the story in a way I'm content with. I don't know how long this spell is going to last for, but in the meantime, I hope you all are okay waiting a little longer than normal between chapters. Thank you so much for sticking with me, I appreciate every one of you so much. 
          
          New chapter soon, and possibly some other things that you may enjoy coming down the line!

@Ink_Wielder Honestly understandable, Sorry for always spamming you Inky! 
            Looking forward to any updates ^⁠_⁠^

@Ink_Wielder Physical fatigue is ABSOLUTELY my #1 obstacle while writing, so I can definitely empathize! No need to apologize for anything.. you go at whatever pace you need to go to make your story the best it can be!

In case you missed it, the new part of Lost in Litany is finally out! Thank you all so much for your patience; it made the process a lot easier and less stressful :)
          
          I actually also have something a little extra for you all this time as well! I've been working on a little side project during my breaks at work; a much smaller series that I'll be posting over on Reddit's nosleep forum. The first part of that is out now too if you'd like to check it out; link will be below! 
          
          Thank you, apricate you, love you.
