Hey there. I have decided to take a break from posting chapters for awhile due to my overall dissatisfaction with my writings. Lately, I'm just not enjoying my output and don't feel happy with a lot of what I've released. As of this announcement, I plan to bring ANIMALS WE MADE back on July 11. If that changes, I will post a follow-up announcement letting everyone know. One month seems long enough though as of yet to self-reflect, edit/hone my existing stories, and recharge as a whole. Thank you for all the kind words on the ending of "Anywhere Girl."
          	
          	Please feel free to keep me updated on your summer plans. Find me on Discord at "gideoneaston," same username as here. I look forward to catching up on readings and replying to comments I missed while prioritizing the ones on my most recent chapter for the sake of time. Stay cool! ❤️

@DennisRoyer Thank you my friend. Haha, I will try. Probably worth taking a step back to come back with fresh eyes. I look forward to your next novel as well!

@gideoneaston We are our own worst critic. Don't be too hard on yourself. As far as I'm concerned your writing really shines! I look forward to your return on July 11.

NOTICE: I have unpublished both "Operation Sunlight" and "Werepup" from Wattpad so that I can turn them into full-length novels. The next short story I'll be unpublishing in around September 2025 will be "If Butterflies Could Talk" for the same purpose of turning it into a novel. 
          
          As mentioned for the previous stories, if you are still reading "If Butterflies Could Talk" and want extra time beyond September 2025 to finish, shoot me a message on Discord or comment somewhere here on Wattpad!

@DennisRoyer Thanks! AI is very helpful for quick cover creation, haha.

@Fayesther I know what you mean. I have lost track with a lot of readings and just kind of post pre-written chapters mostly. But I'm so glad we can stay connected! My Discord name is the same as here! I'd love to read your new work even if you're not posting here. :)

New chapter out now! I don't know what's going on with Wattpad, but I don't see the chapter on my end, though people are telling me that THEY see it... so I'll trust it's out there. Let me know if you don't see it. Here's the link:

          My first announcement that I posted just a few minutes ago vanished too. Must be a glitch. Hopefully this one works!

@gideoneaston Hey! I’m just dropping into some random spot to let you know I’ll probably stay off-line for a bit… I left you those messages on exploring the capacity we have as a next step… (I’m pretty sure this is already way late in the game, but our news just reported massive data breaching… so until I find out what is new and what’s relevant and what is actually happening… I’m gonna go into pretty much a holding pattern. Can we be in touch through this thread… Because my DM‘s are on my other device that I don’t wanna turn on right now. So we’re probably good to both work on our own for this week anyway… But if you need me, I’ll check here!) ❤️

Just a heads up: The stories "Operation Sunlight" and "Werepup" will be unpublished from ANIMALS WE MADE within the next 3 months (probably around early May). I intend to turn both these shorts into full-length novels. If you are still reading either story and want extra time to finish, shoot me a message or comment!
          
          All other stories in ANIMALS WE MADE will remain up for the foreseeable future, but should I choose to remove others here and there, I will let everyone know well in advance; and if you ever need one to stick around a bit longer, feel free to let me know. I can even briefly re-publish an unpublished story for a week or so in some cases. I'm pretty flexible as of yet. 
          
          New chapter tomorrow!

@DennisRoyer Thanks so much, Dennis. "Consider Lily" will be the 3rd story from the collection that I will novel-ize. It's my personal favorite too, so your comment means a lot. :)

I think you should try to enter the ONC competition this year. Your writing is amazing, and it would get you great exposure. Think about it. Have a good day.

AKA_CK

@gideoneaston I see, and I do understand. Keep up the amazing writing. I have several pieces I am working on, so I know the feeling. I couldn't resist trying the novella competition, because in December I wrote my first novelette. The longest piece I have written. So, this is another step. Maybe a novel one day. (。•̀ᴗ-)✧

@CarolKnox2 Thank you so much, Carol. I wish I had the bandwidth for ONC this year, but I barely keep up with my ongoing story. One year I will try it though. Also I look forward to checking out your entry!

No chapter this week. I have fallen behind in both editing "Animals" and in my general WP reading, because I've been helping  a friend edit a book he plans to self-publish in the summer. So I'll be spending this coming weekend catching up with my usual reads. 
          
          Sorry for the lack of an update. Next chapter of "Animals" will be up Friday, the 14th!
