Hey all, sorry July has been a slow month for posting updates to "Average Jane" and "Turning Green." I have been suffering from lack of motivation to write. I have sat down a few times and started but couldn't get a full chapter written before deleting it and starting over. 
          
          I haven't been in the best place mentally for the past few weeks but I am working through it with a professional. I am hoping that I can throw together a new chapter by the weekend. (maybe me saying this will actually will it into existence, worth a try). The other way I can get motivation is for you the reader to tell me to continue, so I know you are there. Please? :)
          
          Hope you enjoy the rest of the summer and we will chat soon

Hey! I noticed that you're writing some middle grade stories? I read your bio and I see that you want to encourage younger readers in the middle grade! That's an awesome mission. We're a new middle grade literary magazine and we were wondering if you have any short stories, flash fiction, or story excerpts you'd be interested in submitting for our debut issue!
          
          Thanks so much for considering. Please keep up your awesome work, beautiful!

Hi Lacey, I’m reading both your stories and you write beautifully! Thank you for sharing your story I can relate to it on a personal level. 

Hi Lacey. I hope you’re enjoying CheriLicious. I’m sure you have already discovered that it’s much more “adult content”, misogynistic, and crude than the stories you write. I hope you don’t find it too offensive, but please feel free to give me feedback either here or in the story comments. 
          xoxo

Happy Friday,
          
          For those that read here? Can you see/read chapters 4 thru 9 of Average Jane? The first 3 chapters are getting a lot of views but 4 thru 9 are getting none. One person posted they couldn't see 4 thru 9.
          
          I am going to republish them all and see.
          
          @sabrynabrooklyne have you seen this issue before and do you know how to fix? Thanks lovely.
          
          Cheers,
          Lacey

@laceymarie74 I know. I don't have the time to write like used to but when I do,  I love it. 

Hey all,
          
          I decided that I wanted to take a break from the autobiography for a few days but I still had the writing bug and could still feel the creative juices flowing.
          
          So I started a new fiction based story. It is a loving, accepting, wholesome, cute story about the coming of age, discovery and life of a transgirl named Chloe.
          
          Please check out the 2 chapters I have written so far and let me know what you think!

Hey all, 
          
          Chapter 11 is up. I am sorry it is very short. I took the time to thank some sisters I met during my transition and a forum that helped pave the road ahead. 
          
          Give me your thoughts on the chapter and any resources you might want to share.
          
          Cheers,

Hey all, 
          My first 9 parts are up. It's been tough to write but I feel kinda cathartic doing it.
          
          More to follow this weekend. 
          
          If you happen to read and enjoy, please leave a comment. 
          
          Cheers,
