Hello hello! It's been a while. 
          	
          	After a much-needed pep talk from my husband over the last 48 hours, I have come to realize that the novel I've been trying to write (Behind the Scenes) are actually two different (but similar!) short stories. This is great news for me, as I've figured out why I have writer's block and can revise accordingly. This is bad news for anyone who wanted Behind the Scenes to be a chunky novel. 
          	
          	That said, I'm currently revising Behind the Scenes offline, and making notes on the second novella, both of which I hope to have to you soon. And yes, both are heavily inspired by Joseph Quinn. ;)
          	
          	Behind the Scenes, as it currently exists, won't actually change too drastically, except to get better and a little more fleshed out. It will take place entirely in New York. 
          	
          	Novella #2 will take place entirely in London, England, and feature new characters. 
          	
          	Thank you for your patience! Talk soon.

Hi lovelies. 
          
          Does anyone else have first draft doubt? Maybe it's extra bad for me because I used to work as an editor, but I'm about halfway through draft one of Behind the Scenes and I'm already cringing at all the rewrites I need to do. It's taking all my willpower to actually FINISH it before I take it to the cutting board. 
          
          Just me? 
          
          Anyway, THANK YOU for helping me reach 1.04k views on it. It really means a lot, especially since the last year has been super sh*tty for me and the fam. 2 cancer diagnoses, one death, my own health scare, and job loss. Woohoo. 
          
          On the bright side, we are returning to England at the end of May, so I'll have even more first-hand experience to draw on for my writing! Honestly, the trip can't come fast enough. 
          
          Until next time,
          Vicky xx

Hello all,
          
          I'm FINALLY working on the next chapter. Sorry for the wait. You know how they say bad things happen in threes? Well lets just say my life has been a wreck the last nine months or so BUT HOPEFULLY this third crisis is the last one. 
          
          Chapter 17 coming soon. In the meantime, thanks to everyone who's read and followed while I've been MIA. It means a lot.

@LittleCinnamon thank you!! It's been too long for sure. Excited to start writing again.

Hello lovely people!
          
          As you know, I've been on hiatus while we grieve the sudden passing of my mother-in-law. However, we're getting back to normal and I hope to post the next chapter of Behind the Scenes very soon!! 
          
          In the meantime, thank you to everyone who had followed, voted, and pushed the views for my book over 700. It means a lot to me. I wonder if we can get to 1000 before the new year? 
          
          Until then, Xxx

Hi all,
          
          I had planned to post Chapter 16 today or tomorrow. However, I might be MIA for a bit as my mother-in-law passed away this morning after a hard battle with pancreatic cancer. 
          
          Until then Xx

Almost finished the SPICY chapters and YOU GUYS ARE NOT PREPARED. Turns out it'll actually likely be TWO chapters with plenty of spice in each. 
          
          Thank you so much to @LittleCinnamon and @Gri959 who've been reading along and making writing this a joy. :)

StoriSadler

@Gri959 honestly, SAME. haha
