I can't believe it's been over a month since I posted! Life is one of the many things you can't control. Mine has been a chaotic blur of happenstance that has left me drained and distracted. 
          	
          	In all honesty, the past two weeks I have had plenty of me time. Unfortunately, the boys have not been speaking to me. I've had a few others sparking my creativity due to similar circumstances aligning with my life. It's funny how the creativity train can jump tracks or completely derail when you have so much momentum flowing in one direction. It was the main reason I tried so hard to slam Rescuing Riley out while I had them chattering in my ear.
          	
          	I believe a lot of writers suffer with this issue, especially those with ADHD. We are either obsessively focused or jumping from one thing to another. This fluctuates from moment to moment, too. It makes finishing a book difficult, especially when you have to split your writing time with other responsibilities. Oh how I wish I could just focus on my writing!
          	
          	I'm attempting to refocus on Rescuing Riley, but I'm not sure when I'll start posting again. Hopefully I'll get inspired by them soon. My apologies for skipping out for so long. Some of the things weighing me down have permanently been removed and I have time to dedicate to writing again. 
          	
          	Hope you have had a wonderful weekend!!!!

Happy Birthday to me!!!! I'll be heading out soon to celebrate with my bestie and enjoy the one night a year I can have for myself. But, before I go, I wanted to post this week's chapter of Rescuing Riley. Hope you enjoy the new chapter! See you next week.

I'm so sorry about not posting last week. I kept thinking I'd have time at some point. The chapter was edited and ready to go, I just had to post.  Unfortunately, it didn't happen. But to make it up to you, I have posted 2 chapters this week. I also edited a few things on the previous chapters, adding a pic of the guys and some tidbits at the end of each. I'm hoping this will encourage more interactions from my readers. Thank you for taking the time to read Rescuing Riley, and I hope you stick around for more of their story.

Spent today writing a new chapter for Rescuing Riley. I had hoped for at least 2 but a glitch erased the entire chapter I wrote. 1500 words gone with the press of 1 little button. I took a whole 5 minutes to vent, then got right back to it. 
          
          I did manage to get some of the next chapter done. I'm going to try to finish before bed but being in the heat all day has me drained. With any luck, I will finish chapter 10 so I can start 11 in the morning.  Hope everyone had a great weekend!

Hey, everyone! A new chapter of Rescuing Riley is up! It has been a long week. I've worked tirelessly to edit the chapters I have written up to this point, so I hope you enjoy the read.
          *IMPORTANT NOTE!!!
           I learned yesterday that Wattpad has allowed AI to scrape artwork from their site and have no plans to protect their authors and artists from this type of theft in the future. I am very concerned how this will affect my books and this site. This may be what ends my stint on Wattpad. This site was built to give support and recognition to authors, but is now allowing companies to steal from the very people they are supposed to protect. I am disappointed in this site and concerned for the integrity of my work. I will continue to post this story here for now, but will be giving a lot of thought to removing it from this platform.

Just posted Chapter Five of Rescuing Riley. I'm officially 3 chapters ahead in writing this but I want to leave some leeway so that I can post regularly. Plus, I was without internet while at work and then no power for a while when I got home due to a storm. That left me with no way to fully edit my chapters. I'll be spending most of this morning on the edits, but I hope to spend this afternoon working on a new chapter. 
          I'm trying to keep this story flowing on a chapter by chapter basis, but yesterday it kept getting ahead of me. I'm working on reining it in so I don't lose my momentum. I hope you guys are enjoying this story. I haven't had any comments so I have nothing to base it on but I love my characters so they will get their story, regardless.
          I know it's Monday, but have a great day!!!

Chapter Three of my new WIP Rescuing Riley is now up. I'm going to sleep, then in the morning I'll pick up my meds. Hopefully, they don't mess me up too much. I'm hoping to get another full day of writing in. If I can manage it, I want at least another chapter posted tomorrow.

Well, Chapter Two is officially posted thanks to this summer cold. Sucks for me but gives you guys reading material. For real though, it feels great to be writing again.
          On another note, editing sucks. Whoever came up with the idea of glue words and sticky sentences... I would like a few hours alone with you. I have strong, unkind words for you. Alas, the pains of being a writer...
