I love MS and am glad for the update. Would love a Luke, Victor, Joey date. I've been dwelling on that dynamic in my own head for a bit. Great work!!!

Just in case you missed it, I finally posted the next chapter of Medically Speaking last night. It’s over 26,000 words and there’s only really one natural break in the chapter, so keep that in mind while you’re reading. Hope everyone enjoys it! I’m immediately jumping into writing chapter 37 of Medically Speaking because Carolina Wren is still on hiatus and I want to get another MS chapter out of the way before I switch over to the Magic of Shadows.

I finally finished the first round of editing for the next Medically Speaking chapter. I still have another round of editing to do. It'll probably take me 2-3 days. I normally try to do the second round all in one sitting, but it's 26,383 words long and I don't think I can mentally take it, so I'm splitting it into three parts unless there's some sort of miracle. My goal is to have it done by Friday because I'm going to be away from my laptop this weekend. Fingers crossed!

Posting this as an announcement since it's been so long. I just finished the first draft of the next chapter of Medically Speaking. It's obnoxiously long, which is my excuse for why it took me so long lmao. I wrote a good chunk of it completely sleep deprived, so editing might take longer than usual between that and the length of the chapter, but it's well on it's way!
          
          I can't wait to start posting again. This break was not intended lmao

Small update for when people stop by: You don't have to beg me to update, I promise I'm working on the chapter lmao. I'm in the homestretch, but I already know I'll have to do a lot of editing. I'm posting more frequent updates on my progress on instagram. I can be pretty inconsistent (go figure) but that's where you're most likely going to see how things are going with new chapters.

I hope you update Carolina wren 

I hope you update medically speaking

Just in case you missed it, Carolina Wren was updated a few days ago. For the time being, that will be the last update for that fic for a while so I can try to improve it.
          
          I'm already working on the next Medically Speaking chapter. The next couple of weeks are busy for me and I'm currently sick, so I wouldn't expect the chapter in the immediate future, but MS is the fic that will be getting the majority of my attention for the time being.

I finally finished the first round of editing for Carolina Wren chapter 57. I'm going to try and push through the second edit so I can get it out as quickly as possible. None of my other fics are anywhere near being finished, so we're going right back into wait mode once it's published.
          
          Unfortunately, I do have one other announcement to make in regards to Carolina Wren. Once this chapter is posted, I'm putting CW on hiatus for a while. I love this fic more than I can say, and I know there are others who love it too, but this has been building for a while. It feels like I went wrong somewhere along the way and people just aren't connecting to these characters the way they do in my other fics. It's gotten to the point where I dread when I see that people have started reading from the beginning. It's really not fair to y'all as readers.
          
          I'm not fishing for compliments or reassurances that I'm a good writer. I feel like I need to take a step back and see if there's a way that I can improve the fic and these characters going forward. No single comment or message or anything like that has led me to this point, nothing that has been said is even bad or mean. This is something that I honestly should have done a long time ago. I feel like such a whiny baby doing this, but it's affecting CW and my other fics and I've been on the verge of quitting altogether several times and I don't want to do that.
          
          For now, I'll be focusing on Medically Speaking with updates for The Magic of Shadows thrown in. I'm also sorry that some of my attempts to explain things or defend choices I've made have been rude. I'm sorry if it made you feel like you couldn't comment on my fics. I cringe over it and I'm trying to be better about it without stepping back from interacting with comments completely because it really is one of my favorite parts of posting on here.

If you're coming on here to check to see if there are going to be updates soon then 1) I don't blame you, I blinked and August was gone lmao and 2) the answer is not quite yet. I'm working on them, though!
          
          As a reminder, Carolina Wren is next. In theory, Medically Speaking would be the next one but if I finish The Magic of Shadow first, then it'll get posted first. But I won't start working seriously on CW again until MS is posted.
