Last chapter of RUTWM goes up tomorrow on AO3 and I’m feeling a lot of emotions. Tonight, I wrote most of the first new chapter of the novel tonight, and it’s 2027 words long and counting. 
          
          Guys, I really want this novel to happen. 
          
          Also, DID YOU SEE THAT THE US SENT A ROCKET UP TO THE MOON WITH PEOPLE ON IT TONIGHT?!! IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS LAUNCH FOR WEEKS, AND IT FINALLY HAPPENED!! 
          
          Okay, it’s late. I need to go to bed. 

Hot take: celebrities don’t owe us updates about their relationship status. People are living in a parasocial bubble. Please get off the internet, go touch some grass for several hours, and read a book from the library. 

I finished writing Rolling Up the Welcome Mat. I'm feeling a lot of things, but my heart is really happy. If you haven't followed my author Instagram yet, go check it out! I put up my first post today! @notthat_alexcooper

I am strongly anti-AI when it comes to writing, but I am open to experimenting with it as a tool for suggestions and to improve writing. 
          
          I ran all four works up to this point through an AI chatbot for feedback tonight as I start thinking about and planning out the novel, and OH MY GOODNESS. The analysis it gave was so impressive, it brought up themes I didn’t even realize I was writing about. And it said the manuscript could be 350-380 pages long?!? WHAT!!! 
          
          This will require so much work despite the fact that the bulk of the story is written. I have scenes I need to rewrite, names to change, scenes I need to write to add to the story… I know I need to finish RUTWM but I’m so excited about doing the work for the novel! 

Wait so your a teacher? And if you are what grade do you teach, not trying to be a stalker lolll I just have a curious intuition

I made an author Instagram account to share the journey of turning my little universe into a novel! @notthat_alexcooper if you want to follow! 

Not me thinking about book 2 of the novel I may be writing when I’ve barely started writing the first book. 
          
          (Also, why the heck does Wattpad not like emojis on posts?!?) 

The crazy thing about being an adult is that I really WANT to spend my Sunday writing, daydreaming about the novel I may write, and doing diamond art, except I have to do WORK and write lesson plans for my students because I didn’t do it during the week. It’s the week before spring break. My students aren’t gonna get much done anyway. 

Someone left a comment on one of the recent chapters I posted of Rolling Up the Welcome Mat on AO3 saying I should publish a book. 
          
          Is now a good time to announce that I’m seriously considering turning the Just Can’t Fake It universe into a romance novel? 

I just wanna say I really really enjoyed your new chapter of RUTWM! It was so good! I love seeing Crystal's bond grow with the Barton's! Also if you were to turn Can't Fake It into a novel I would seriously buy all the copies! You are so talented and my favorite author! I check every minute on Thursday for a new chapter!
