          I've debated posting this; however, I do my best to be transparent with you all, & that includes sharing things that aren't always positive...in this case, why it's taking me longer to post chapters.
          
          For those who have seen my TikTok about the Sacred Witness container, this will make more sense than to those who haven't. (This blog post explains the Sacred Witness very well:  https://www.unbridledchange.org/blog/Healing-Power-of-a-Sacred-Witness  )
          
          Part of the Sacred Witness container is that what goes into it must be emotionally & energetically clean, or it negates the container. In this case, I'm talking about Réa & Bucky's pregnancy.
          
          Them becoming parents has always been the plan. I've been very excited to write this part of their story, AND am saddened by it as well. [And no, none of these experiences are going to apply to them; they are NOT sharing them with me.]
          
          I have been through 13 miscarriages, 1 stillbirth, & have 1 living child. After the last miscarriage, my husband & I had some deep, heavy, emotional conversations...and I had my fallopian tubes removed on Boxing Day 2023.
          
          As I said, anything that goes into a Sacred Witness container must be clean, and this topic requires a lot of clean-up (I work personally & with my therapist on this), which is why it's taking me longer to write and post.
          
          Again, I only share this to be transparent and genuine with you all.
          
          As always, I am incredibly appreciative of you & the support you've shown Réa, Bucky, & The Fall. Each and every read, vote, comment, recommendation, & share means so much to me. Thank you. You are amazing. 
          
          Offering light, love, and peace to you all.
          
          In kindness,

The Fall - Book 2 is live! 
          
          It begins with Chapter 200, picking up where Book 1 left off!

So, I learned that I can only have 200 parts per book. The Fall is currently at 190 (189 chapters and the separate Author's Note)...so once I hit 200 in the original, I will mark it as completed and begin posting in The Fall - Book 2.
          Just thought I would give you all a heads-up.

I am loving your story, you write beautifully. I was wondering if you would help me by looking over my very first book. Thank you

I started the next chapter, and then Bucky (again, he and Réa have taken on lives of their own, complete with thoughts, feelings, and opinions that I have no control over) decided to speak up and share something...and I couldn't write what I planned until I got his words down on paper.
          
          So, I am currently working on wrapping up THAT chapter, and then will finish 171 and get it posted (hopefully today or early tomorrow )!
          
          I know many of you are excited to see what Bucky and Réa give each other for Christmas...and I am excited to share that with you! 
          
          Offering well-wishes to you all!
          
          In kindness, 
          Eala

I am working on Chapter 162+! I promise! 
          
          As I said in a comment on Chapter 161, I have a plan for where/how I want this to go; however, Réa and Bucky have taken on lives of their own and have their own opinions on things.   It's a toss-up on whose words will win. 
          
          I have future chapters drafted...it's just this connecting one (maybe two) that has me stymied. 
          
          Thank you for being a part of Réa and Bucky's journey and story so far...I look forward to sharing the rest with you! 
          
          In kindness,
          Eala 

Pronunciations have been added to Parts 54, 80, 117, 118, 120, 121, 124, 125, and 128 of The Fall!
          
          Regarding the Russian...there are quite a lot of subtle sounds that are difficult to capture via phonetic breakdown. I'm neither an etymologist nor a linguist, so I just did the best I could. ☺️
