Hey Sarah! I want to drop a heartfelt note of gratitude to you here for completing my academic research survey on the representation of the Indian LGBTQ+ community on Wattpad.
          
          Your responses were incredibly insightful and if others also fill out the survey like you, I'm sure I'll have a strong and valid research to present to the world soon!

Plugging away at my newest novel, For Every Evil. Honestly, I've never pantsed a book as much as I'm pantsing this one! I'm at about 23,000 words, which isn't bad for only being at it a month. Not sure what I think of it, but hey, I often surprise myself.
          
          Hope everyone's well!

Hey Sarah! Just wanted to let you know that you writing so many books is such an inspiration! ✨❤️

Strings is DONE! Completely. Done. I'm proud of it. Will be starting the next within the next month . . . I need a little brain break!

Ok, just a question if anyone even wants to answer this--I was thinking about the Ambys and don't think I'll enter. I won an Amby for Women in the Woods last year, which, lovely. I also won the Pretty in Punk Awards for Darkheart a year or so ago. Also, amazing. I was very proud. But here's the thing . . . I neglected to make use of the prize packages with the stickers because . . . I am so particular about my book covers that I think the stickers interfere with the aesthetics of them. So I felt bad that I won and didn't even make use of the prizes. Does anyone else feel that way? I am so particular about the way my book covers look. 
          
          What do you all think of the stickers for book covers? I don't know. Would you use them? Anyway, I just don't feel like doing the Ambys. I'm only doing the Wattys cause there's a real prize involved, there. No matter what sort of prizes I win on Wattpad, I'm not going to get a lot of reads, here. It just ain't gonna happen.

Oh yay! And I had a couple books added to Wattpad’s @fright page, as well: Darkheart and Strings (not that it’s ready!).

Also happy to see that @Paranormal has added The Women in the Woods to their list, "Occult & the Afterlife." (This has nothing to do with the afterlife, FYI, but we can count it as occult--sure!)

UPDATES:
          
          Edits on Strings have been slow due to health issues (obnoxious as they are); still, I fully plan to have the book available through my website www.sqmcgrath.com in August! I don't know that it's my strongest work, but I have enjoyed the weirdness of it; circuses and freak shows have always been a side interest of mine.
          
          In other news, I entered Hilltop House, The Women in the Woods, and Sublime Messages in this year's Watty's. I don't have high hopes, but hey, you never know. Darkheart and Kitty are probably not what Wattpad is looking for, even though I love those two. They're just longer, slower-burning works. I may enter Strings if I get it completed in time . . . I may not. It just depends.
          
          I also still update Poems for Quixotic Children as I write them.
          
          I have met so many amazing people via Wattpad, and while many have since left the platform, I still have hopes to meet more!
          
          Moving right along . . . I still appreciate Wattpad for what it is, my sounding board and drafting base, and I love the opportunity to present my work for free. All right. That's all. Peace out.

All right . . . I am entering delicate territory with Strings . . . nearing the end. Obviously, the chapters are alphabetical, and I'm on V . . . I have several more to go. I am going to hold off posting the rest, I think, until I can work out the ending. Intention is to complete by the end of June and post--edit in July--publish in August.
          
          Thanks to anyone reading! This one has been a different sort of challenge . . .
