Stay encouraged. Remember to cherish yourself and to hold onto your mental sovereignty. Your mind is the home no one can take from you. Don’t let people, events, or situations disturb your home. Continue to create and grow! I hope you’re all doing well. Know I am cheering you on!

I’m not dead! 
          
          The past couple of months have been rough. Last week I got out of the behavioral (mental) hospital because I was put on the wrong medicine and it had side effects from HELL. 
          
          Now that I am on a new prescription and routine I hope to soon be working on The Last Faithful with more vigor. 
          
          Thank you for sticking with me all this time. I wish you all the best in the many days to come!

Recently I have utilized the excellent site, Critique Circle, to have my first chapter analyzed and have gotten thorough feedback. So I will probably have to delay the next four sections, but they should all be arriving by the end of July/early August this year. :D  Also, please look out for an update of the first two chapters by the beginning of July.  The writing style and some information will either get altered and or removed, but if you're not into the whole zigzagging back, you should be fine to read ahead to the next four. Thank you, and read with you soon!

I am about to split my two chapters into four. Multiple people have told me that they need to be broken up for easier mobile reading. Shout out to the people who have given me great advice and commentary!  New Chapters are coming out 4th of July! -Read with you soon <3

          I quit my second job yesterday because it was a train wreck. Honestly, I am already a big mess as it is so I don't need to add to it. I will go back to looking for a second job next week. In the meantime let me know if you want a beta-reader/editor.

I removed a review  from The Last Faithful, because the person was trolling and not constructive at all.  They legit told me not to read or look at stories on Wattpad. 
          
          I’m thinking “ Dude YOUR stories are on Wattpad.” . You are an author on Wattpad so...what are you trying to say, I shouldn’t listen to you. Okay I won’t! 
          
          Positive or friendly reviews help bolster confidence so others can continue to write. No matter the quality cheer folks on and encourage them. Critical Critiques are the bomb when written with clear examples/ explanations. They rarely happen because the only people who want to say the tough stuff are usually trolls and they aren’t going to tell you jack but what flashes in their head at that very moment. 
          
          I know it’s hard to mix the good with the bad. I am really bad at CCs  too, unless I am invited to do so. 
          
          So here is an open door of communication: If you really want to weigh The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly of your work...I will be opening up 10pm-11pm every Thursday to bounce ideas and comments off each other for each other’s story. Just let me know if you are down, okay . 
          
          A critique without structure is literally a waste of your time and the author’s.  Let me save you time. I am not a bestselling author or a published one but I will be your Champion. If I know of any resources you maybe interested in I will see what I can do to help!

@mawmoe I'm fine with doing either. Here's the first draft of a story I'm trying to write well :) Thank you so much! I'm going to be out of internet for a little while, but I will be back! https://www.wattpad.com/story/200895587-broken-shadow

@AnnieWildfire Absolutely! Just let me know what you would like me to read & critique. I am still working on the next chapter of The Last Faithful. If you want to read& critique one or more of those that’s cool. Or if you want to wait I can email the beta of the next chapter when it’s done.

@mawmoe Hi! My friend was gushing your praises on critiquing her story. I was wondering if we could do a fair trade and check each others' work? I haven't done much critiquing for people, but I can try!

UPDATE: So this Tuesday while in the middle of my Therapy session I got a call from an employer I had applied to last week and they literally hired me the same day. So I will be working two jobs( I was working but felt bad to ask for more hours since they hired someone who needed hours too). Anywho...I will be working 7 days a week until probably December. However, I still want to make time for you guys. To really read and give useful reviews based off what you want help with. I know I am not a good writer, but I will do what I can to really be a support for any of you, because we're in this together.

Starting this week, I am dedicating my Wednesdays to reading and reviewing other works. So if I haven't reviewed one of your works or it has been a while since I have, rest assured that Wednesday is going to be all about you guys.

@mawmoe Reading is one of the most important things a writer can do.
