Question for all of my MJ Winchester fans ( Fire & Ice trilogy ):
I've often thought about combining the three books into one big book like I've done with all of my other books, but I haven't thus far because of all the view, votes, and comments on those three books. And while that may seem silly to some, I don't get many comments on books anymore, and it's a bit disheartening.
But I've thought about it often because I wouldn't JUST be copy and pasting what's already there into one book. I'd be editing it into past tense, which is what I've been writing all of my books in recently. And I feel like I'm able to add more detail this way, which could be a good addition to MJ's story.
But I want to know what everyone else thinks.
Option A: leave it as is — three separate books, all present tense.
Option B: combine them into one big book, editing it into past tense.
If you choose option B, the original books will remain up while I do the editing in my drafts. They won't get taken down until the edited version is finished and ready to be published.
What do you all think?

@XOastorybyNatXOXO | As of right now, that seems like the direction most readers want me to go as well. Thank you!

@-moonsdxst | Definitely makes sense that it makes it easier on readers when it's all in one book. And yeah — losing the comments is why I haven't done it up to this point. But it also bothers me that it's my only series that's separated. So, I also wanna clean up my profile a little. Plus, I genuinely feel like it's easier to add more detail in past tense. Why I had an aversion for so long, I'll never know lol

@that_one_writer_chik One book :)

Hey, all!
I just wanted to give an update, let you all know that I haven't completely disappeared. I know I haven't been publishing much lately, and I'm sorry about that.
But I did publish the first two chapters of the latest part for With Arms Wide Open. And I'll be publishing two chapters every Tuesday and Friday until part five is complete. I'm hoping to keep working on part six in my drafts, but my inspiration has had me jumping from book to book lately.
With that being said, I HAVE been writing. I nearly finished the first part of a new Twilight/Supernatural book, and I absolutely love where that one is going. The oc is Sam and Dean's younger sister, and she's Paul's imprint.
I've also been working on other Twilight ideas, because apparently I'm reverting into my teenage self. Maybe it's the therapy lol
I just wanted to let you all know that I have been writing, despite appearances. My mental health and my sanity have been a bit of a rollercoaster lately, but I'm trying...

I published the rest of part four last night, and I'll be editing part five now.
All of part five will be published on August 1st...unless I lack self control and do it sooner...
But I'm hoping to use July and August to finish part six and write part seven. Then publish them the first of September and October, and that'll hopefully be the entire book.
I'm a little nervous about saying that that's gonna happen; my life never likes to work out as I plan it. Reminds me of a line from a song I know...
But I'm also moving in either August or September, and then the job search will get more time consuming. But that's the plan as of right now.
I hope everyone likes Letty and her story so far!

I just spent the last few days editing what's currently up from present tense into past tense. I find that I'm able to add more details that way.
And now there's a new chapter up!
I'm sorry it's taken so long, but I'm hoping to get back on a publishing schedule with this series now.
I hope everyone likes Letty's story...

Hey, all! I have a question for you guys...
I've been working on a Secret Life of the American Teenager fic in my drafts for a while, and I have a little more than half the show written. I was thinking I'd wait until I had the book was done its entirety before I published it, but I wanna ask you guys.
Do any of you want me to post part one/season one so you guys can read that now? And part two/season two will be published at a later date, and so on?
What do you guys think?
that_one_writer_chik
@-moonsdxst | Oh, I wanna publish it one way or the other. I love Rowan too much to leave her in my drafts forever. I was just hoping I’d get some idea of if people were interested. I don’t wanna post it before it’s done and get discouraged when no one cares. You know?
-moonsdxst
@that_one_writer_chik :: but you do have a good bit of it written, so maybe you could test the waters and post the first part and see how that does before you decide if you want to publish more or wait until more of the book is written. and while it may not be a big fandom, i definitely think it'll find it's audience. true blood is a relatively small fandom, but death wish love has definitely done better than i expected it too but you're never really gonna know until you publish it
that_one_writer_chik
@-moonsdxst | I’m debating. Because I haven’t written for it since I started working more seriously on ‘Paralyzed’, but I WANT to finish it and get it up. And I feel like it would help me stay motivated if I knew people were actually interested. Because I don’t know how many people care still about that show anymore, you know? Since it’s so old. But if people want it, then ‘Paralyzed’ and ‘Mirrors’ will be will my primary focus until ‘Mirrors’ is finished, and then I’ll make ‘Paralyzed’ and another one that’s already up my primary focus. So, I’m waiting to see what people say. Oh, and ‘Dilemma’, but last time I looked at the polls, it was a 50/50 split…

So... I just published a new story.
It's a Supernatural/Vampire Diaries crossover, and I'm super excited about it.
Please, follow Lia on her journey through the end of her childhood as she learns what it takes to be a hunter and a Winchester.
Also, MAJOR THANK YOU to @-moonsdxst for the cover, screencaps, and synopsis gifs. You're a gem of a human being, Nova, and I appreciate you putting up with my crazy/pickiness to make me such amazing graphics.
( you guys should definitely go check her out if you don't follow her already )

hi aurora! how have you been lately?
-graceinspace
❪ o. @that_one_writer_chick ❫ awe, i’m sorry to hear it’s been rough, but it’s good to have things to look forward to! i’m sending you all the positive vibes your way! and it’s great that you’re excited about what you have been working on—that’s always the best feeling. i’ve been alright, just taking things one step at a time; been having mainly more chill and positive days but recently have had a few more rough days. though, i’ve kind of been like you with working on stuff that excites me; one is a new book and the other is already posted, but i had abandoned it for like two months and am recently getting back into it. that’s definitely been exciting.

@-graceinspace | Hi! I’m alright. Life’s rough, but I’m doing the best I can be at the moment, and looking forward to things to come (: I’ve been working on a book in my drafts that I’m really excited about, so that’s been good. How are you?
