So, Glass Midnight didn't make the wattys shortlist, but this is actually a good thing, because Glass Midnight is being published on December 10! So I now have literally so much work to do. Yay!
          	
          	I know I'm not allowed to link it here, so know that if you are interested in reading it in it's final form, the pre-order link is live on my linktree, however, the version up on wattpad will be here in full until then.
          	
          	Congrats to all who made it onto the next round and happy writing!

Over 10 years ago, I started writing Glass Slippers and now the original draft has 700K reads! Thank you to everyone who still reads this story, even though it's been quite a few years.
          
          Here's to never being too old for fairy tales, and the stories that stay with you, no matter how far away you travel. 
          
          Happy writing, happy reading, and thanks again for being here.

Guys, editing saves lives. How do I know? It saved mine today when it turned out I skipped an ENTIRE chapter of Glass Midnight when posting. If you read chapter 15, then 16 and went "wow, is there teleportation in this draft?" No, no there is not, and you were totally right to be confused.
          
          The real chapter 16 is up, and as I make my way through the rest of my edits, the updated chapter numbers will tell you where I'm at in them.
          
          Holy guacamole, what a mistake.
          
          Anyway, read my hot mess fairytale here: https://www.wattpad.com/story/409311569-glass-midnight-a-fairy-tale

          I hope to finish edits today and tomorrow so it can be all spruced up for the Wattys! Who else is entering the competition? 
          
          Best,
          Sarah

@Pennywithaney You're right. I do need to read this. I won't be entering because I didn't finish my story to completion in time. But, I will definitely be cheering you on!

Glass Midnight is now complete! Thank you for those who read it and to those who commented. This is my first time since 2017 completing a book on wattpad, so though it's a small thing, it feels pretty big.
          
          You can read the full draft here: 
          https://www.wattpad.com/story/409311569-glass-midnight-a-fairy-tale
          
          I'll be editing it throughout the next week to get it read for the wattys, but in the meantime, if you haven't read it, I hope you enjoy it!
          
          It's a lot of magic, mystery, and adventure in a sparkly little package, and every read means a lot.

Chapter Twenty-Nine of Glass Midnight is posted, and we have one more chapter until the end! 
          
          https://www.wattpad.com/1642168065-glass-midnight-a-fairy-tale-chapter-twenty-nine
          
          This chapter features a ball, a transformation, and a dance, but I don't think you'll see the end coming. This chapter is also the only chapter that borrows from the first draft. :)
          
          Happy reading! The last chapter will be posted tomorrow!

In case you've missed it, Glass Midnight is two chapters and an epilogue away from being complete! I intend to enter it in the Wattys, so I'll be posting the last 2.5 chapters on Friday and Saturday, and then diving into a light chapter-by-chapter edit.
          
          Nothing big will change, but these will be more edits for consistency and flow. If you were waiting for it to be complete before reading and want to give feedback before that light edit, the next few days are a great time to read Glass Midnight!
          
          You can do so here: https://www.wattpad.com/story/409311569-glass-midnight-a-fairy-tale
          
          Happy reading!

@witchykitty Actually, I was able to recover some of the file! Just to confirm-- you want antimatter as your username, not WitchyKitty and not Deanna Heller-Erskin?

Hi friends! No update last week, but two will be coming between now and Friday. I'm in the process of applying for my New Zealand visa and I've been up to my eyeballs in legal documents both personally and in work contexts. 
          
          In the meantime, if you haven't started reading Glass Midnight yet, now might be a good time to get caught up before updates start up again. https://www.wattpad.com/story/409311569-glass-midnight-a-fairy-tale
          
          And if you need a pitch-- Glass Midnight is a fairy tale fantasy story featuring fairies, pirates, princes, mystery, curses, poison, and a generous pinch of romance. It's the first of a trilogy and the second book will be told from the POV of Clara's sister, Harriet (and maybe Clara's, too). 
          
          I hope your May is treating you well!
