Amazing story Got an idea for the next chapter while reading. Will you post it on AO3 or Fanfiction too?

@MarleeErvin0928 That makes sense sometimes keeping stories more private lets you enjoy writing without any outside pressure it’s cool you still share enough for readers to experience your work here. Do you think you’ll ever feel like putting your stories out on a bigger platform or do you prefer keeping them close?

@Hanasierrahan I usually keep them more private.

@MarleeErvin0928 Yeah they’re fun places to read and post stories a lot of writers use them to connect with readers. Since you haven’t heard of them before do you usually just share your stories here or keep them more private?

For those of you who have been asking, "Guarded Hearts" is on hold.  I didn't reveal that this book is based on a true story.  My friend, who gave me the story in her own words, has read it and isn't ready for the story to be out there.  She still wants me to write it, but wants it changed so she and her boyfriend won't be recognizable.  I'll have to start over, so I've deleted the first two chapters and the blurb.  I'll update within a week or so when I can figure out a new direction, and the cover may change.  I guess I hit too close to home.  But I'll return with a fresh new take on her story, one I know she'll love.  Thank you for your patience.

I jumped the gun by publishing Her Broken Soldier.  I have the story, but can't make it go where I want it to.  I'm working on it.  I'm leaving the cover as is, but it may have a different title.  I know some of you added it to your library, so I wanted to give you a heads up.  I've taken it down until I work out some of the kinks.   I want to enter it into the Watty's this year, so it'll be back up by July 1st.

I made The Long List in the ONC!  I can't believe it!
