Sorry for the super long hiatus to those of you who are my reading and critique buddies. As you may know, I'm a minister, and I've been in the process of preparing to leave my current church, where I serve as an assistant minister, to become a senior minister at another church for the first time in my career. Ministerial search in my faith tradition is a very long and intense process--think 95-hour work weeks--and it ate up every scrap of spare time for the last several months. But the long wait is finally drawing to a close, as I just accepted an offer today to become the minister of a wonderful church starting in August (provided that the full congregation votes to call me during my upcoming visit in late April!) So I will now have more time to both write and to FINALLY catch up on some reading! I see that several of you have new-to-me works that I'm super excited to check out. So, I'll see you on your pages real soon, and in the meantime, happy writing!
Also, I'm close to posting a new chapter in Garden of Night. I just need it to, yanno, end...

Hi
Your book covers are awesome.

@LuvArora25 Heya. I'm on my way back, but not quite yet. I finished my job search and now am in the process of moving. Today was my last day at my current church, and I move in a few weeks and start at the new church in about 5 weeks. Once all of that settles down, I should be able to resume things.

Thanks for the follow!

@writergirl81 You're welcome! Though I think that I may have already been following, then accidentally unfollowed when I tried to follow. Sorry about any confusion if you got multiple notifications. The profile search and your page said different things.

Yup, withdrawing from clubs was the right move, for all that I loved my partners' books. I've now drafted a new chapter for the first time in forever and caught up on r4r reading through yesterday. (At least, I think I have. If I'm wrong and you are in fact currently waiting on me to read, please give me a kick.)

@ostromn Congrats. I did the same, and it helped with my productivity as well.

@ostromn Hi! Please don't have shame on withdrawing from clubs, you know what's best for you, right? I've done the same in the past even though I get invited back, but I got a whole another life outside of Wattpad to take care of. But I still am part of Pretty in Punk and Rebel_Town Book Clubs as they are the first 2 that made me fit right in. *smiles* Good luck with your stories!
