Hello all! I hope everyone is enjoying their summer and are doing well. I know I haven't been as fast with the chapters as in the past, and I wanted to give a little glimpse into my world this summer so you all know I haven't abandoned the book at all!
First up is r/l work. In my day job, I am an independent consultant. Things have slowed down a little this summer with some projects wrapping up, but that, unfortunately, means I need to spend a lot of my spare time networking, writing proposals, etc. I would love it if I could just write full-time, but I still, unfortunately, need to eat!
The second thing that has been taking up my time is my dog. He's almost 12 and nearing the end due to some health issues. I spend a lot of free evening time with him, just being there with him, even though he is not so mobile anymore.
I actually had the next chapter almost done and decided to rewrite it to fit better with the story's trajectory. It's still a smutty chapter for sure, but I decided to change how it played out to better play with (pun intended!) a key scene that will be coming in a few chapters down the road.
So that's a bit of an update on why things have been a little slower getting written over the past few weeks. But the next chapter is up, and another will follow tomorrow.
Until then, cheers, and be well!
