To Heaven & Back is now officially complete with Chapter 14 posted. Thank you all for accompanying me on this journey. Now I need a meme with two side-by-sides of me running 2 miles. The first is me in peak physical condition proudly running across, and the second is of me wheezing and dragging my fat ass over that line, face in the dirt, ass in the air, and crawling across.

I have just posted the penultimate chapter of To Heaven & Back. This one is devastating and comes with a content warning.

@Kaiddance
          You changed your cover!
          It's not nice to fool the old guy.  ;D)

I've just posted the next chapter of To Heaven & Back. Candace reacts and Clayton opens up about his past.
          
          Almost to the finish line!

It’s nearing wrap up time for Travis and Candace in Heaven & Back. 
          
          Travis and Candy attend a seasonal parade, and Travis has a question.

Hello! I have just posted Chapter 10 of To Heaven and Back.
          
          Candy and Clayton discuss his secret. The next day, they go through Travis' apartment and make a discovery.

          I love writing this story. I don't think I can say that enough. Probably my favorite scene of all time is in Titanic when the musicians play Nearer My God to Thee as the water finally overcomes the ship. It's so devastating and perfect, yet I still keep watching the movie over and over again despite knowing the ending. That's how I feel when I write this story. We know the tragedy, yet we're invested in the story leading up to it. Not that I claim it's anything as perfect as the masterpiece Titanic is, but I at least hope to convey the emotion in my little novella.
          
          Anyway, I'm hoping to have this wrapped up in the next 4-5 chapters. Thank you all so much for reading! Best of luck to all as we race to the finish line!

I must have been really tired; no, I know I was tired, but I have updated Chapter 9 of To Heaven and Back.
          
          In previous years, I have believed I was good enough. Then sorely disappointed when I somehow wasn't. Over time, I have learned it is not lack of skill, but rather, a lack of humility. Even now, I struggle with wondering where I am going as a writer. I am traditionally published, which I consider one of my greatest achievements. I never defined success by sales. But now, with so much AI dominating every market, in and outside writing, I don't even know if I want an agent becasue they also use AI to secretly upload manuscripts so they can 'read' faster. Wattpad is dominated by bot accounts.
          
          I do promise, though, to always write for myself and that I will never use AI to advance myself as a writer. All my works are 100% me, written by a human and with integrity.
          
          Also, win or lose, I am happy with this story. I enjoy working my way back with Candace and Travis' ill-fated love story, despite us all knowing how it ends.
          
          Thank you all for your love and support in this dark, crappy world.

Helloooooooo, and happy Monday!
          
          I went from having not a single word in my head to 2k words spill into Chapter 8 of To Heaven and Back!
          
          A rowdy relative almost spoils everything, and Clayton shares a secret.

I had a rare burst of inspiration and uploaded Chapter 7 of Heaven and Back. 
          
          Travis gets a new place, and doesn’t quite see eye to eye with Candace.

Here marks another chapter and another milestone met for Heaven and Back. 
          
          Candace attends Travis’ funeral, Clayton delivers the eulogy, and emotions are heightened.
