@FanGurl1170 I'm so glad you're enjoying it. It started with a writing club prompt where the MC is hit by a car and it had to have a twist. 
            
            Then I decided to make it into a novela for NANO 2017

@SapphireAlena Good to hear. I was getting concerned myself as I hadn't heard from you in a while. I can relate as I have been busy myself as of late.

About my book which you read;
          Sometimes you have to read between the lines, sense certain emotions, recognize the atmosphere ... this will help you understand what is happening ... here not everything is given immediately and on a platter ... so it can build intrigue and curiosity  thanks for comment and for reading bless you

SapphireAlena

@MonaCaravaggio That's how I write, too. Lots of subtext :-)

I'm actually able to write again ... Something bigger than a contest piece. 
          
          It's been hard because no power at the campground, and the local library is only open so many hours a day ... but progress is happening.
          
          I've decided to write it my own way, according to what I want, not some preconceived audience's desires.
          
          I'm currently backing myself out of a corner I wrote myself into 3 years ago. 
          
          It might end up being a series, because I'm having a hard time keeping one week of events under the typical word limit for the genre. And it's definitely going way outside the genre norms in relation to topic and theme. I might have to categorize it as general fic or chicklit.
          
          Anyway, the muse is back. I want to finish the second act before I begin to post, but that should be in the next few weeks.

@LayersOfPlanes And I stalled out again. Back at work :-(

@SapphireAlena It's not about them! It's about your characters and they're lives according to you.  There's helpful comments then, there's always those "experts" that we sometime have to let go in one ear and out the other.  Do what you do cuz you can't please everybody no matter what you do. Carry on...

Kenobi ep 6 is over! Oh no! What are we going to do?
          
          Go read my Empire Day. I wrote it 5 years ago, and there are a lot of similarities between it and the Kenobi show. (Originally, the kids in the book were 10, not 8, but I deaged them because they were acting younger than 10 y.o.)
          
          Also, did you catch the name Young Leia gave as an alias on the planet in the middle of the Mojave Desert (Joshua Trees were a giveaway)? Luma?
          
          Luke's been calling Naluma that in The Jedi Reborn since he fell in love with her. Check that one out too.

@SapphireAlena  I have been mostly satisfied with Kenobi so far, I think it has issues though, but... Oh my god, seeing Anakin again in flashbacks? Now THAT made my day! holy
