There's a thing going around on twitter/X right now about a book being bombed in a writing contest because it has religious themes. I know Wattpad is very heavy romance/smut, but surely you guys aren't getting told off because you have religious themes? Is that why no one reads my books?

@KitCorbeau, yeah, according to one of the posters, something like 75% of the world population believes in some form of religion. Can you imagine people not liking Edna because she's viewed as a god? Edna is adorable and one of my favorite books. I have nothing in common with it, yet I can still appreciate it for what it is.

@jpsuchecki What the heck? What kind of stupid reason is that? I am not religious at all, but I would never fault a book for that. People love to read all sorts of things, and I am pretty sure that religion (in all its forms) is a very major part to many, many people. It is just plain silly to rag on a book or author over something like that.

For some reason, I got twenty minutes of free Grammarly Pro today. Never did so many fast edits in my life.

Had a strange interaction with Reddit. Posted on there, looking for feedback, and put my cover art on there (this is the first time I've posted my coverart). They took it down and said they don't allow AI artwork or publications. I guess they must be talking about the cover art? It is AI, but since I couldn't ask them, I was hoping they didn't think my story was AI. I use Grammarly for my story, but it's all my idea and mostly (minus the improvements Grammarly suggests) writing. 
          
          I guess this is the age we live in now. Many of you are more talented than I. I hope you're not being accused of anything. For those of you who are reading my story, thank you for your support. The work has been long spent these past few years. 
          
          Enjoy a new chapter of The Thirty-Third: Trusting What's Real.

@angeldawn09 Thank you. That's very kind of you to say. I hope your books are going well.

@jpsuchecki The frustration of inner critic is real. I use Grammarly as well as my grammar is terrible without, but the rest of my writing is me. Though reading other books, my own always falls short in comparison and people type so much faster. Also stings a bit more when knowing I'm older than most of the people books that I'm reading oof. 
            
            I remember reading a bit of your story the Call Of The Beachwick some time ago for a r4r, and I do remember you had a way with words and vocabulary. Don't sell yourself short. Each completed book is an accomplishment:)

I already made changes to chapter 1 of the Thirty-Third. Apparently, though I had spelled it right everywhere else, on the actual book title, I spelled Thirty as 'Thirity." Go figure. 
          
          Anyway, had the day off yesterday, so I spent most of the day writing chapter 1. Poor Kesi is having a rough time. I think she needs some support. Also, there is a not-so-secret plot line there I'm going to reveal in the next chapter, but I think most people should be able to figure it out. Hope you enjoy.

I'm excited to start the last book in the Call of the Beachwick Trilogy. 
          
          I've been sitting on this for about a month because I wasn't sure where to start. I know how it's going to end, but the beginning and middle have been alluding me. As always, the answer came to be while I was doing some mundane task that had nothing to do with plotting or working on my book. 
          
          Surprisingly, once I saw the answer, I was frustrated with myself for not thinking of it earlier. I had even laid the groundwork. I guess it do be like that sometimes. Anyway, here is the first chapter of the final story of Aurelia and Kesi's journey regarding their family's legacy:

Final Chapter of Chain of Memories. I might do some editing later, slow down the end of the book. I wouldn't mind some feedback to let me know if you think it's too fast-paced. For now, I'm glad it's finished. I will have a short epilogue, then maybe after Christmas, I will start writing the final book in the trilogy. 
          
          For those of you who have been reading the book, I thank you. You mean the world to me. I hope to hear from you, share your thoughts, and grow from any feedback you give me. 
          
          For now, enjoy Chapter 34 of Chain of Memories: The End of the Dream of Dreams.

Action-packed chapter right here. There was a moment in the Call of the Beachwick which had a thing that a lot of people responded positively to, but also pointed out that it was kind of a deus ex machina moment. I agreed that, based on events, it certainly seemed that way. There is always a lot going on that I'm setting up in the long run, that might not be apparent. The devil is in the details. I gave a lot more details this time around, trying to point out to people what exactly that was. Now, this final chapter brings it to a close, which should completely explain a plot in the previous book. 
          
          Anyway, I hope you enjoy. Presenting, Chain of Memories Chapter 33: The Thirty-First.
