Hi everyone:) I have some exciting news! I am just about to publish the first chapter of a story called “From Her Eyes”. This will be a collection of short stories of events in That North Carolina Summer, but from Rylies point of view:) I’ve been working on this for a while and I’m finally close enough to finishing it that I’m ready to start publishing:) 
          	This first one is going to be titled “The Breakup”. It’s going to give Rylies perspective of her birthday, the phone call with her mom, and everything leading up to the make-up:) 
          	
          	I mention this in the description as well, but if you have any ideas/suggestions for other short stories from Rylies point of view that you’d like to read, from any of the books, please let me know because I’d love to work on more for this! 
          	
          	I’m really excited to share this with y’all and I hope you love it:)

@NerdingAlong  Can you please do Rylie's perspective in Wrightsville? Totally ok if you don't have time, but I think I speak for most of us when I say its something that we would like to see!

hi! i’m so glad you asked:) I have the canon rebel t7i which I LOVE. it does great with pictures and video which is a plus. i use a few different lenses but mainly stick to my 50mm lens or the 24-70mm lense. i like the 50 best because it’s small and easy to use and has pretty great picture quality:) 
            also thank you so much for your words!! you are so sweet:’)

Just a question. How many words do each of your chapters tend to have? like in North Carolina summer. I'm having a hard time trying to figure out what's a good amount when ending my own chapters

@NerdingAlong @NerdingAlong Yes it's definitely helped. I'm writing my own book and wanted some opinions on length. Thank you so much :)

Haha that is a great question! I usually aim for about 2,000 but sometimes the only get 1500. So I guess I try for 1500-2500 a chapter:) But I know some people like to go for more like 3000-3500. Hopefully this helps some

An angel recently told me that Wattpad is updating some guidelines  to make the age of consent with characters 18+, so I went in and quickly added in the first chapter that Aspen and Rylie are 18. I feel like it’s kind of awkward how I added it and might not make sense where I added it, but i figured it was better to be safe and just add something for now to make sure the story doesn’t get flagged or anything. if any of y’all have suggestions for a better way for me to go about it, let me know haha

NerdingAlong

I need some input…: ) without giving away any spoilers… hypothetically, say i have something in progress that has to do with That North Carolina Summer (the first book) and a different point of view for a specific section of the book. is this something y’all would be interested in reading? if so, do you think I should add it onto book one in additional chapters, or do you think it would be better to have it as it’s own story, specifically for if i happen to write specific chapters in different points of view? hypothetically, of course:)

@Lezbyterian 1.5 is a really good idea! i’m considering doing a few of these POV sections, but i agree, i don’t think they’ll be very long. but who knows haha because this one is already at 8,000 words and it’s maybe halfway done, so maybe it’ll turn into a novella type thing haha

@Loiosh hahah trust me, i wish it was that POV! although that one will definitely be one i consider for the future:D

NerdingAlong

@silasiousthethird you make a very good point, thank you!:) I agree, separate will probably be better especially considering there could be several of these in the future and i don’t want to make tncs longer than it already is haha

I am so sorry I haven’t updated in a while, I have had a lot going on and have been traveling quite a bit and haven’t had much time/energy to write. I do have a new chapter that I will try to get published asap, but I apologize for the wait so far! I hope everyone is doing well <3

NerdingAlong

Okay guys I am so excited at the moment and needed to share lol
          First off, I got my all time favorite picture two days ago, and I am pretty sure I’m gonna use it as the new cover for Book 2!! (When Summer Ends). I’m at Myrtle Beach (south carolina, unfortunately not north carolina haha) for the week with some of my cousins. There’s a Ferris Wheel right near our hotel which is why I chose this hotel lol. Anyway, two nights ago it’s lights were purple (my favorite color) and there was a storm near us as well so I started taking videos/pictures in hopes of capturing my dream picture, and I did!! I got a picture of the ferris wheel with a lighting strike right beside it and i am IN LOVE with it! I cannot wait to show y’all, I’ll add it as the next chapters cover picture:)
          
          Second, I started working on a little side project that I am super excited for. I don’t want to spoil it, but it has to do with That North Carolina Summer, and I think you guys will really enjoy reading it once I’m done!:) 
          
          I’ll try and get the next chapter for ANCA typed up asap because i’ve got a few ready, but it’s difficult because i’m spending a lot of time in the water boogie boarding and whatnot lol. anyway, i hope y’all are having a great week! much love! <3

@NerdingAlong WAIT- MYRTLE BEACH? THAT'S WHERE MAGIC MIKE XXL IS SET AIN'T NO WAY
            I know that because a book referenced magic mike and I didn't know what it was so I searched it up.

Heyyy I was just wondering what camera you use to take those beautiful pictures for the books?

NerdingAlong

Hii:) I mainly use my canon rebel t7i with the 50mm lens! i’ve also used just my phone for some, and a couple other lenses on my camera like the 24-70mm or 18-55mm depending on what i’m taking pictures of:)
