So, as you all remember, last year I missed the Wattys deadline. BUT, I was just reading the Wattys 2020 guidelines and they have extended the entry rules to allow books published after 2017! Although I wasn't going to be updating the WP version of DSA, I will now be doing so in preparation for the Wattys. As always, your continued support is much appreciated :D

@GooseAndMaverick when I’m done (in May for sure) I’m entering an outside contest where there’s a chance to be picked up even if you don’t win. You only have to submit 10 pages. Then I’ll edit the MS while I wait for the result and then start querying. Probably a couple of months from now. (It’s this one if you’re interested https://pageturnerawards.com/writers/how-to-submit-your-writing-award-entry)

@morrisld45 Hello friend! 
            I was just getting ready to send out an email to everyone tomorrow. Glad you got a new account. I'll be posting the next chapter tomorrow. Sending book one into agents next week after a LOT of editing. How are you?

Just coming back to wattpad after a long break, is there anywhere I can read the first book again? I really liked it but it's been a while and I want to read it again.

@hipster465875 Hello! I took it down because I'm actually sending it in to agents right now. If you want, I can get your email here and add you to the list to be notified when it's published!

Hey Goose! (Love the username!) thank you for adding my story, The Pharaoh’s Lotus to your current reading list! I do hope you’ll enjoy it. 
          I can’t wait to start Dragon Son’s Apprentice and others you’ve written!!

@Azukiel I was surprised when they made that move too. I wonder why?

            Nah, honey, I won't be entering this year. I am not impressed with the fact that the Watty's are now only open to completed stories, which none of mine are even close to  
            Maybe in another couple of years!

How has COVID impacted your writing? Do you write more? Less? 
          Although I have way more time now that I'm stuck at home, I haven't created any new content. My brain just isn't in the right spot....curious how it is for others. 
          Happy Friday! Stay healthy!

@robomechone Wow, almost as long as I’ve been stuck at home. I hear we’re coming to the end of the stay at home orders though.

@robomechone Sounds like fun. I've heard a lot of people echoing that home is now more well kept and projects are being completed. Even I've taken up some new hobbies. How long was the mumps quarantine?

Well guys, in light of everything I’ve re-uploaded Dragon Son’s Apprentice. I’ll keep working on it and keep querying literary agents. The version here will remain the same but as always, feel free to drop a comment on your thoughts—good or bad. I’m honored to have the opportunity to improve my work.
