Boy, what an intermission that was, huh? Here I was thinking I was going to take a short break from Lost in Litany to recharge and write a short story of maybe 10 parts max. Now here I am 6 months later with a full length novel in my documents...
          
          Thank you everyone who checked out Metastasis, I hope you enjoyed it! Now that it's over, I promise Litany will be back in motion! I'm so sorry for making you all wait while I recovered some motivation for it, but rest assured, I'm very excited to get back into it now! This book in particular was the one in the series I was looking forward to writing the most, so hopefully I can deliver on its ending!
          
          First though, since it is a series, I do want to make sure that I'm getting continuity right, as well as not repeating details I may have already covered. If you'll allow me just a little more time, I'm working to read back through lucidity, then litany to get the plot ironed out once more, then keep chugging along the track. After that, I'll be back to it! (With a little editing to possibly publish lucidity on the side, haha)
          
          Thank you all again so much for reading and sticking by my side. It means everything :)

Hey everyone! Long time no see.
          
          For those of you that read my posts before I went silent, I mentioned that I was taking a break from Lost in Litany to work on some other writing projects that I wanted to do as a sort of 'refresher'. Well, turns out, that 'little side project' has turned out to be a bit longer than expected, and while it certainly isn't going to be a 'Lost in' length book, it's looking like it's forecasting to be about ISBU length.  (Although, clearly I have a bad track record of predictions, so take that with a grain of salt, haha). I've been getting a chapter out a week on it, though, so it should be wrapped up before summers end if all goes well. 
          
          I mentioned that I would be waiting until it was done to format it over here, but seeing as I'm taking so long, I didn't want to make you all wait, and since I'm on vacation this week and had some free time, I formatted all the past chapters on a plane ride so they're ready to post!
          
          I hope you all enjoy it! (pardon the placeholder cover; as I mentioned, I'm on vacation and didn't have time to whip up a proper one). As soon as it's done, I'll be back on Litany, I swear! Sorry to those of you desperately waiting. I think my break from it helped, as I genuinely miss those characters and that world, and can't wait to get back to writing it. 
          
          Missed you all dearly,

Hey lovely people! As promised, here's that link to my little side project. It's shorter than my usual stuff, but I'm gonna be try to be getting one out per week for the next couple weeks. And like I said, Litany will still be going in the background :) I hope you enjoy if you decide to check it out!

Hey, all! Long time, no update. 
          
          My apologies if I got anyone excited upon them seeing ISBU get updated; I just realized the other day that I never put an actual link to the physical version, so was just doing some housekeeping work today. I took a little break from writing the last week as I'm hitting a bit of slowdown on motivation for Lost in Litany.  Being pretty busy with work and life as of late, all of my free time ahs been mostly focused on that story, and I think it's starting to show.
          
          By no means am I done with it! I'm going to get back to it and hopefully have another chapter out to you all in the next week or two, but it may be a little more slow going for the next month or two. I have another writing project that I want to work on as a sort of side thing, so I'll be splitting my time between the two. 
          
          The 'Lost in' Series has been one of my favorite things to work on that I've done so far, but after spending the last couple years of my life with those characters and that story alone, I think it'll be nice to take a mini break from them, then come back with refreshed eyes. I've already written the first part to my little side project, and I could already feel the creative flow coming a lot more naturally as I worked compared to how Litany has been lately. 
          
          Unfortunately, for now, that new story is going to be hosted on my reddit account; kind of the opposite of how I usually do things. I normally post here, then reddit gets updates second, but this story is going to be formatted a little more to their style, so it'd be a little funky to try and post it on here. Don't worry, though, I'll still get you all a link for anyone who wants to check it out, and after it's done, I'll be sure touch it up, then get it posted over here!
          
          Thank you all for continuing to stick with my work for all this time, and I hope that you're still enjoying each new part that comes out :) More Litany soon!

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 )

@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!

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

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.

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.
          
          Link to the Book:
          https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DQGGCT5M/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1ZAF803BTZ075&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.2uWxwd77qbGnRPYCWLGprse-omQraJrVsVXY2OAnE2h_MOTJHcetrGWDQmnbOgvXsQ0UFUz35Tl5M8uWJCDU1vqW_nJ3SG99vgYueNEUz1I.bUtFCP7JXMEwD7tzUlKSJjwXvtLUgRkciNlCFSC5FG0&dib_tag=se&keywords=It%27s+somewhere+beneath+us&qid=1734164887&s=books&sprefix=it%27s+somewhere+beneath+us%2Cstripbooks%2C196&sr=1-1

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!
