I started No Glass Slippers cause it said it was complete. It just stopped though - no more chapters.
          Is there more or is Wattpad just messing with me? I tried removing it from my library & adding it back. That didn't work.

As some of you may have noticed I just posted another story with two chapters.  Don't worry I didn't forget about RRN!  I'm still working on it and I need to check with my beta reader to see if they have gone through the latest chapter.  But Shiftless is a new story that I had been planning for all of October because I'm going to be working on it for NaNo. This one is set in the world of Fairytales, so the same one as NGS, and it won't be nearly as dark. :) Thank you and I love you peeps!

Sooo... I got somebody to help me with my writing because I've been feeling it's lacking. XD So if you notice that I reposted Chapter 19 part 2 in RRN it is because of that.  Thank you for putting up with me. :)

Sorry about missing last week. T-T  I got sick (don't worry, not COVID again).  But I'm getting better now, thanks to the miracle of modern medicine.  It has set me back but I'm trying not to sit on that for too long. :) I'll post the second part to the latest chapter in RRN tomorrow.  XD That's a hint to an update my lovely peeps.

Happy belated holidays, my peeps! ^^ I had a fun Christmas... (kinda... I have banned dogs from being an animal I want to own because one ate my chocolate and how dare they cross that line! [the dog is fine]). XD  I am still writing and have just posted more. :)

There is an update for RRN! :D There will be a lot upcoming this month. ;) At least that's my goal... *laughs uncertainly* Anywho~ Enjoy my lovely peeps!

I have still yet to die. Good news! I haven't left Red Rivers to fill the void. I *am* still working on it, albeit slowly. I'm hoping to get a chapter up within the next couple weeks... This is just taking more spoons and mental awareness then I thought it would.
          
          Onto health news! I am still suffering... And it sucks. Sometimes I feel pain like my nerves are being ripped out of my spine and shortness of breath and fatigue. Plus my body has decided that 6 hours of sleep isn't enough (my usual when I'm healthy) and I need something like 12... Which really cuts into my time to attempt stuff. Suffice to say I'm feeling kind of blah but I'm trying to force myself to do things so I don't fall too far down the depression rabbit hole. However, I am getting a little better. After the vaccines I went from needing 5 treatments a day to 2 with inhaler between. 

Soo... I got an update on my health and it's... Depressing. I've been told that I'm suffering from an acute sickness caused by COVID and I'll just have to wait until my body recovers... which at this point can take anywhere from 3 months to a year. This means that for the moment I'm a bit too down to edit the chapters I have done for RRN so I might not have another update for a week. This can change if anyone feels like editing but for right now... Yeah... I'm just trying not to cry because I'm not healthy enough to do that. 

The next chapter of RRN is out. :)  Some might recognize the setting but don't worry.  Shizua's future will veer sharply from Karri's story quickly.

I know a few have been wondering why I have been gone for so long.  Well... I got COVID in early November from a very dippy person who I hate.  I am no longer sick sick but it pretty much left me having my asthma flaring up 24/7 for the last month.  It is as glorious as it sounds.
          
          I have trouble concentrating (because you need oxygen to think), I can't talk much without feeling dizzy, and I can't move at all without devolving into coughing fits that leave me feeling weak and light headed that don't end unless I pull out the big guns of asthma medicine.  It sucks.  And I feel miserable often.  I keep telling friends and family that I am tired because it is draining on me emotionally at this point.  I often feel like crying by day's end and I just want to get better but the doctor's don't have answers for me.  I will be on my 4th steroid treatment because at least it stops me from getting worse.  COVID didn't kill me but I can't do anything.  I can't drive, I can't work, and I can't leave my house.
          
          So, please, treat COVID seriously.  You never know how it will affect you.  You can be fine.  You can be like my sibling who is dealing with the brain fog.  You can be like me, living in misery.  Or you can be dead.
          
          This isn't the flu, I've never been wiped out for a month from the flu and I've never felt like I had to ask for help emotionally because of the flu because that is what I am doing now.  I am reaching out for a hand to hold mine because I am scared and I am tired.
          
          On those notes I cannot give out a schedule for new chapters for Red Rivers and Nightmares but I will try because the worse the moments get in that story it helps to alleviate some of my own misery.
