UPDATE on Book 4 of the Phoenix Warrior Series
          
          So I currently have 6 chapters written for this story. The reasons I haven’t published it is mostly because I’m waiting for my editor’s opinions on it AND I’ve hit a major writer’s block. So as of now, 
          
          1) I still need to go back and edit it, make sure everything flows smoothly (kind of waiting on my editor for this). 
          2) I have to figure out the correct order of the chapters (one chapter can happen earlier or later in the story without effecting the plot). Again, need my editor’s opinion on this. 
          3) Then I need to figure out exactly where I want the story to go. I love the first 5 chapters no problem. But Chapter 6 is kind of taking the story in a different direction than I planned. I don’t want to post anything until I know where the story is going. This will hopefully prevent my readers from having to wait a LONG time between updates. Which means I may have to rewrite this chapter altogether. 
          
          So, I really want advice from my Caspana fans. What do you want to see happen? Do you want just a happy little (probably short) story of their relationship (courtship, marriage, kids, etc)? Or do you want something with a little more plot, where they have to deal with their feelings for each other while balancing their duties to Narnia? Feel free to leave suggestions for what you want to see or what you would like to happen. You can drop them in the replies, or I have other sites you can contact me on if you want to speak to me directly. 
          
          Thanks!  

To my Caspana Narnia fans… 
          
          I’ve finally decided what I’m gonna do with book four in the Phoenix Warrior series. I’m going to do a complete rewrite of it and (try to) turn the story into a Caspana romance. So it will be the events leading up to SC rather than the events of the book. My question is… How do you all feel about the original canonized timeline in regards to it being with Ana? 
          Currently, it is: VDT - 2306-2307 (book Caspian be 16-17. He was only 13 during the events of PC  ) 
          Caspian marries Lilliandil - 2310 (he’s 20) 
          Rilian is born - 2325 (he’s 35) 
          Lilliandil is killed / Rilian vanishes - 2345 (Rilian is 20  Caspian is 55) 
          Caspian dies / Rilian returns - 2356 (he’s 66 & Rilian’s 31) 
          
          Now, in my stories, Caspian is already 22 by VDT (and Ana would be about 25 by the end since I said ‘she ages about 10 years’). So they wouldn’t be as young and could get married sooner. Do you all want me to stick with the time frames in the books (3 years before marriage) or just say ‘screw it!’ and do what I want with the timeline? I think I originally have them getting married after a year in the epilogue of book 3. But then it pushes all the events significantly forward (I probably would still have Rilian be born fifteen years later either way so it’s not too much). Is this important to anyone besides me?
          

So I currently have three (technically four) stories in the works. I’ve been in a major mood to write this past month, so I’ve been rotating between the four of them to avoid losing that motivation. They are as follows: 
          
          1. A Caspana Story for the Short Stories. I had mentioned that I had one in the works, but I lost my motivation for it. And when I went back, I didn’f like it so I’ve scrapped it in favor of trying to write one someone has requested (I’ve only had one person and they requested two stories so I’m trying to work on them but I can’t do the second one yet). 
          
          2. An Ana Comfort story for the Short Stories. Inspired by the above stories and the fact that Ana gets very little comfort on screen so this was my way of remedying that. Involves the Pevensies so you all can read Edmana into if you want. :) 
          
          3. A Merlin story. No spoilers to what it’s about, but it is a stand-alone. My attempt to branch away from Narnia and leave Ana behind. Was supposed to be a one-shot but will likely end up with 2-3 chapters. 
          
          4. One of the stories from my abandoned works. Been working on this one in when I can go absolutely nowhere with the others. Probably won’t be posted as it’s over 14000 and therefore too long for the short stories and I don’t want to create a new book for it. Just something to keep me writing. 
          
          Let me know which you're most excited to read!

What if I posted a “book” cataloging all the deaths in Merlin? Hmm…  I’ve already started keeping track… 

Wattpad… 
          Why are you making it so difficult to center text? I’ve double-spaced and highlighted the part I want to be centered to make it as clear as possible. So why do you keep making the paragraphs before & after also centered? And why, after I get it all fixed and Saved, do you keep un-centering it?! 

Question… When I do rewrites for book 4, should I just cut all the chapters pertaining to Last Battle? I mean… Ana’s not really in them until the last part and it’s told from another person’s POV. I’d probably keep those pertaining to The Silver Chair (even though it’s technically a different POV as well) since she is mentioned by the other characters. But I’m not sure if there’s any point in retelling the events of LB if Ana’s not even there. It would make the book significantly shorter though. 
          
          So should I just delete them and fast forward to the end where they’re all reunited? Or keep it in? If I delete it… there is the possibility of me focusing more on Ana/Caspian pre-Silver Chair. Maybe before Rilian or as they’re raising him. 
          
          Thoughts?

Wattpad needs to have a way for people to co-write a book. I started a story with someone but they primarily write on Wattpad and haven’t checked the Doc in months. But if we could co-write on here, the story might progress a little faster… 
          

Thank you for following me!! 

Merry Christmas everyone ! Hope you’ve all had an amazing and awesome day! 
          
          I wish I had something written for all of you as a gift, but I just haven’t been able to write. Hope to have something finished/updates by the New Year, but we will see. 

Not me writing a whole new story since I couldn’t sleep because I can’t work on old stories apparently… Now I have about 20 works in my drafts.
