@JessicaDelaforce Nooo, not the last one! I'm conflicted right now. Read or not to read? That's the question... I want to read it so much but then when I do, it'll end... Crappity crap Yeah, I’m going to read it anyway haha Good luck with your writing endeavors, and I do hope to read the whole book one day! <3

The next chapter will be my last available to be read on here! I will be focusing on creating my first draft and will be looking for feedback etc when it is complete in it's entirety. If you are liking to vibe of the story and would like to be one of the first people to read and review the first draft when it's done. Please get in touch:) <3

@JessicaDelaforce I've always meant to go back to your reading because the parts I read were magic. Best wishes and good luck with the first draft! You got this!

I have just posted a little mini chapter from somewhere else in the world, while I get my head around this next chapter for Rayna. Any tips for cutting to a different scene or character in terms of headers etc? I wasn't sure how to go about it! Anyway enjoy a little slice of the Cedarian Isles. <3

With the rise of AI stealing work from sites like these — which I have only just become aware of — I am tempted to remove 'The Lover's Curse.' And only make it available to friends and family etc for feedback until the final draft. Does anyone have thoughts on this?
Kleggt
@JessicaDelaforce Depends on your goal for the book. If you have enough readers for feedback etc privately then it would remove some hurdles if you wanted to go trad pub or KU exclusive. Online does have the advantage of building an audience and getting more eyes on your work. Unfortunately, everything gets scraped on the Internet! From what I've seen, AI writing is currently in the too-many-fingers stage still. There is definitely a piracy problem for ebook stuff, but as a serialised novel only you can control the next chapter - and even as AI improves you will always be a better writer for your story.
JessicaDelaforce
@LucyAnnWrites apparently the AI scans all these types of sites, takes in the information and then regurgitates it out slightly differently.

Finding very little time to write recently, and when I do nothing is coming out how I want. So I'm going on hiatus for a bit.

@JessicaDelaforce writer's block is a pain in the arse, but we all get it. I usually try and keep a few different projects on the go so I can flit between them. I find that helps me, as I tend to need something else to get me started again. It comes at the cost of slowing my progress. Case in point that I'm only like five chapters deep on my book and I've been at that for a year or more. Best advice, is to just take your time and trust the process. You're a good writer, that's for sure, so don't let the frustration get to you and you'll be back at it in no time.

Chapter Seven - The Creeping Hut is live.
Things are kicking off.
Rayna and Kristjan continue their trek through Riddlewood and find themselves pulled in to one of Rayna's strange dreams. An old enemy comes back to bite Rayna on the ass, and Kristjan makes a dubious bargain. <3

@JessicaDelaforce I know that it's easier said than done, but try not to be disheartened - you're doing amazing!
JessicaDelaforce
@KirstiMason Aww thank you! I honestly felt a bit disheartened recently so this helps!
KirstiMason
@JessicaDelaforce I loved this chapter!! I just wanted to keep on reading more and more. I can't wait for the next one
JessicaDelaforce
This next chapter is kicking my ass, sorry for the delay! Not had as much time as I'd like to work on it :( — what with planning our studio renovations/expansions etc. It's all been a bit hectic! Hoping to get it finalised in a few days <3

@JessicaDelaforce Understood and I was just (and am again) there. Congrats regardless and on all of the other life changes.

Totally Just realised the glossary didn't save all my bullet points so it's all a giant mess woops. Note to self - wattpad doesn't like bullet points, apparently. Will sort asap x
