@donnaf1828 I am certain you will do fine.

@donnaf1828 I am not a fan of 1st-person either, especially some WP stories that swap who the POV each chapter. I have partially written a 1st-person/3rd person hybrid (it's... complicated), but that is the closest I have come personally. I am sure your attempt will be fine.

Hi Leslie, I see you haven't updated for a while. I hope all is well. I've just finished catching up on Red Lotus. I hope you update soon. I can't wait to see how it ends. Kind regards, Donna.

@LeslieFloresWrites I am happy to hear you've recovered from your injury. Life has been busy this year, I've repainted the inside of my house, every room, took me almost 6 months, and I was in America for 2 months. I also do gourd art and sell at markets. It's been hectic. I haven't had much time for Wattpad, but I hope to start posting a story I wrote 15 years ago. I've slowly been editing it, and wow, I overwrote this thing so much, I'm having a hard time getting it to a reasonable standard. It's a chiclit written in first person. I have no idea what possessed me to write in 1st person as I don't enjoy reading 1st person, and I've only ever written 2 books and 1 short story from this POV. Too many, I this, and I that, I, I, I, hahahaha Have a wonderful holiday season and I'll see you on the other side. Xo

@donnaf1828 Sorry. I just saw your message. Life got crazy this year: * I have mentioned my injury and recovery; I am feeling much better. I even got well enough to train and try out for a 30km 'race'. Unfortunately, I was only able to accomplish 20km before my feet gave out. * I had to study for a promotion exam and got it (!!!). * The wife and I took off for a month to visit Australia and New Zealand. We had a grand old time seeing the sights. * My grandmother had her 85th birthday. As a surprise, my wife and I digitalized over a thousand photo slides and hundreds of hours of video for a presentation at the party. I definitely plan to finish Red Lotus. My plan is to have an alternate test Chapter 1 up for review, complete the new interlude chapter that we talked about for the Queen, properly organize all of the new research I have made over the past year, and create a nice cache of buffer chapters by the New Year. If all goes as planned, I should be writing regularly again by the beginning of January. How have things been for you?

Thank you for the follow and adding my work to your reading list.

How has everyone's month been? November didn't start very well for me but it has improved and I did my best to stay busy. Met with the neurosurgeon a couple days ago. Since the pain has greatly diminished (still taking medication but mainly because they don't recommend stopping in the middle of a cycle), the doctor said that I will probably not need any further action unless it returns or something aggravates it. I will probably start writing again this week, however, won't start posting the chapters until after the new year.

@LeslieFloresWrites It's complicated. Got a vacation from school in November, got my terrible report card and the parent teacher meeting was on my birthday, that is 30th November. So I'd say that the start was great, mid was bad and the end was great. Glad you're feeling fine now. Take care <3

@LeslieFloresWrites Glad you're better! And yes, please still take your time ^-^

The Crown Prince's first day back to court after the ambush was an abject failure. However, Prince Bon-hwa gives Ha-neul some news that may turn things around.

I had a near catastrophe today. As you know, I had to stop writing because of the pain from a bulging disc in my spine. However, I had completed the majority of the next chapter before the incident and the pain stopped me from writing. During this time, I got a new computer and did my best to transfer everything over.
Today, I felt good enough to try to write again. I went to my OneDrive to open my draft chapter document... and it was gone! Well, it actually held the rough draft of the previous chapter, but still. Panicking, I looked everywhere but could not find it. I was starting to think I would have to start again from scratch.
Then I remembered that I have a habit of emailing chapters to myself so that I can potentially do some writing during downtimes at work (rarely find the time, though). I sprinted my Sent Items and, lo and behold, there it was! I haven't gotten a chance yet to see if it is the latest version of the draft, but at least I don't have to rewrite the entire thing.

@LeslieFloresWrites omg that's one of my worst nightmares. And then there are some people (mostly non-writers) who say "oh don't worry, don't be sad, you can just write anew and then it will be better!" NO Also, take your time and get better! Don't rush yourself! ^-^

I discovered one benefit of having to spend most of my time icing my back instead of writing is that I have gotten a chance to catch up on my backlog of dramas. Finally got my chance to watch Queen Charlotte.
LeslieFloresWrites
@HolographicTears Yes, it was. One of the things I loved about it was how it expanded upon the alternate history it created. A few vague hints were dropped about the historical changes but Queen Charlotte really expanded upon them.

I started physical therapy last week. Between that and the medication they prescribed, I have made some improvement. I can move my neck more and with a lot less pain. However, the pain in my shoulder/bicep/elbow continues to trouble me. Trying to type for more than five minutes causes me to cramp up. Considering how much progress I have made in 1.5 weeks, I can only hope that another couple of weeks will see enough improvement to allow me to start writing again.
In other news, while doing some spring (fall?) cleaning, I found on old USB. It contained some unfinished or unpolished stuff I wrote back in college. Most of it has been untouched for over 15 years. Perhaps I will post some of them if I can ever past the cringe...
LeslieFloresWrites
@donnaf1828 Thanks. Just left physical therapy. Hopefully, I will see some progress soon.
