          After knocking my head against a wall still trying to get MS Word to work I went back to Apple’s Pages app and spent more time getting used to it.  The words flowed and the chapter came together quickly.

For those waiting for the next update of Welcome to My Broken Heart, bear with me.
          
          Two days ago Microsoft updated the MS Word app for iPads, which is what I use, since it had the features I liked.  Since then the app freezes within moments of opening up the document.  It wouldn’t even let me copy and paste into another writing app without a lot of difficulty.  I am trying to finish the chapter and editing in Apple Pages (not my favourite), in Google Docs (I hate it) and I’m about to try Ellipsus (not holding my breath).  Oh for the days of Corel’s Word Perfect (iykyk), which always seemed to work whenever Word got fussy.  
          
          Unfortunately, this Word issue affects all my stories.  Although I have some drafts ready to publish and already loaded on Wattpad for Two Minutes, my other drafts (for Moods one shots collection and Dreams Come True) were awaiting final editing before transferring onto this platform.  
          
          I’ll keep working at it but I have no idea how long it will take for me to get the next chapter to a point where I am satisfied with it.

The writing gods have not smiled on the next chapter of Welcome to my Broken Heart so it will not be updated just yet.  Instead, tomorrow I will post the next part of Dreams Come True.
