Ah, it's good to feel good. Knocked out another two chapters of "The Hidden Crystal," and oh, lookie there. Chapter 3 of Rejected is done.

          I made myself laugh writing it. That's always a good sign. :D
          
          I started the weekly sweep of Archives yesterday, but I wanted to edit/write while I could, so I put the rest of it off until I caught up on that. I'll get back to it now. In the meantime, enjoy the chaos!

New award!

          Congrats to everybody who qualified for round 1 of ONC! Yay! We followed the rules correctly! XD
          
          No, seriously, I went back and reread the rules so many times, and when they posted the qualifying list, I still half-expected Rejected wouldn't make the list because I'd made some stupid mistake. But it made it. Woo hoo!
          
          Um... I feel awful today. So there's that. I got a little work done on "The Hidden Crystal" over the weekend, and I have ideas raging through my mind for Rejected, ABT Act 2, and two or three other stories that have no right to be there because I already have a full plate... Anyway. Next chapter of Rejected should come out this week. And I know I said that last week, but ABT Act 1 decided to take longer to wrap up than I expected, although my mom's feedback has told me the ending is as epic as I wanted it to be. Yay!
          
          Oh! I got another story/chapter of OIaS accepted for publication, this time on a site called Antimatter Dreams. They also want to put an audio version of it on their YouTube channel, so I'll have to record myself reading it and send that in pretty soon here. After I emerge from the brain fog and the echo in my head settles down.
          
          'Kay, bye.

Today was a day for vegging out and oversleeping. Of course, the oversleeping part made me lose out on the categories I wanted to enter in Raven's March Madness Mini Awards, but I found a slot for ABT, and I decided to go for the Best Character Design category for Rejected. That meant I had to fill out a character sheet, which I thought would be a lot of work I didn't want to do... but it was actually pretty fun. I've added it to Rejected's chapter in Story Pitches, if anybody wants to see what I came up with for Y/n.

          I'm so excited to write the third chapter. :D

How's my favourite Hard working person doing? ʕ⁠っ⁠•⁠ᴥ⁠•⁠ʔ⁠っ

Bam! It's done! Chapter 89 is done, and so is Act 1! I hope it's epic enough. The chapter, I mean. Although I hope Act 1 is epic, too.

          Sorry about the cliffhanger, but y'all know there are three more Acts, so don't worry too much. ;)
          
          And with that, I am marking this book complete. Why? Because Wattpad has a 200-chapter limit per book, and I'm not sure Act 2 will fit in this book. Even if it does, Act 3 definitely won't, so I'm splitting each Act into its own book. That'll give me a chance to show off some covers I've been gifted by other people, too. :D
          
          Now, here's my new writing scheme:
          1. Two chapters of "The Hidden Crystal"
          2. One chapter of "Rejected"
          3. Rinse and repeat
          
          Y'all will just have to trust me about "The Hidden Crystal." I want to get the third draft done so I can move on to the next step in the publishing adventure. But that's my plan until "Rejected" is done, at which point... Act 2 of ABT. :D
          
          I have a huge decision I need to make about that. A Gilbert-related decision.
          
          That is all. :D

Holy moly, what a day in the awards community! Awards by the esteemed @Ravendipity and the amazing @SSears90 on the same day? I wish I wrote BTS fanfiction!

          Also, I wrote the last chapter of ABT last night. Just editing it now. Unless something comes up, I'll be posting that later today. :D

Yesterday was pretty rough, and today started off even worse, but pain meds and ice packs took the edge off of my migraine. I finished editing the next chapter of "The Hidden Crystal" (chapter 44, btw), and now, it's time for me to work on the last chapter of ABT, Act 1!

I'm feeling better today but had some stuff I needed to do, so I haven't had a chance to sit down and write yet. That will be a priority tonight.
          
          Oh, and I haven't done the weekly sweep of Archives yet (might skip it this week), but I have been updating it with daily stuff from my notification feed, as usual. I added a few new awards and mini awards yesterday, so check those out.
          
          Hm... what else? I should probably my bio with something non-wintery. I might just go back to standard text. Fancy bios are nice sometimes, but I don't know how to make them, and it's quicker and easier to update if it's just plain 'ol text.
          
          Anyway, writing. I'm going to knock out the next chapter of "The Hidden Crystal" offline, and then, the final chapter of ABT, Act 1! Woo hoo! I've been working hard throughout this entire Act to set everything up for this moment, and I'm almost there!
          
          I'm ready for a break. From ABT. Not writing. Because ONC is still happening, and I'll be focusing on Rejected after I wrap this up. I'll need the time to think through Act 2, because... well, no spoilers. ;)

Hello! My name is Evangeline.
          I was wondering if you'd be interested in a cat themed book club?
          
          You'd get to meet new people and read (possibly) new books! They read your book in return and both people comment :)
