I’m really sorry I haven’t been on here in forever. I sometimes forget I’m even a member here. And life has also been busy and crazy in more ways than one these days. I usually spend my Internet time elsewhere.
          	
          	Anyway, I just felt like I needed to let my followers/readers know that I will no longer be uploading fanfics to this account. I also went through and deleted a bunch that I no longer want cross-posted to this account. I left a few finished ones up just so people who come to this site can read some of my fanfics and follow me elsewhere if they like what they read. I apologize for any inconvenience this might cause some readers. I have my reasons. One of those reasons is I’m in the process of cleaning up my accounts, downsizing, and reorganizing things. Better organizing things, I should add. Long story short: I’m just tired of having to cross-post my works across multiple websites and prefer to upload my fanfiction to one site only (Archive of Our Own). It makes it easier to keep up with and maintain and makes it quicker for me to upload new chapters.
          	
          	From now on, my Wattpad account will only be used for FREE original short stories I upload and make available and any promotional content connected with my published books, book series, and Kindle short stories.
          	
          	If you love my fanfics and want to continue following and reading ALL of my fanfiction, please do so at my AO3 account: https://archiveofourown.org/users/WindChimeGhost/pseuds/WindChimeGhost

Wow! It’s been a while since I last posted any kind of update on here. o_O I apologize for disappearing for pretty much all of this year. So much has been happening. It’s certainly been a busy, hectic year in more ways than one. I haven’t had much time to work on fanfics. And what ones I have worked on, are over on my AO3 account.
          
          But anyway…
          
          BIG NEWS: My first full-size book has been published and is now LIVE! 8D Woo hoo!!! SO excited!!! At long last, I’m kicking off my Night Warrior series. Be sure to visit my website: https://melissalyle.wordpress.com/ for more info and links to where it can be purchased. It’s available in both paperback and Ebook!! =D

Hello to all of my watchers and readers! A lot has happened over the summer and just within this month alone. Thought I would give everyone a  quick heads up on some of it.
          
          For the first part of this month I was fighting through computer problems brought on by my upgrade to Windows 10. Long story short: It nearly came close to killing my laptop. BUT...I am now back up and running on Windows 7, and I got a new laptop out of it all. Don't worry. I didn't lose anything important in the meltdown. I just barely got it all backed up before I lost access to my desktop.
          
          As of this week, I am now officially an indie author and publisher. W00t! I'm currently publishing some of my short stories while I work on the first book of a book series I'm putting together.
          
          You can purchase my story (ebook only) at:
          
          Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Moaning-Fireplace-Lyle-Melissa-ebook/dp/B01M09ZOTR/ref=asap_bc?ie=UTF8
          
          Smashwords: https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/668715
          
          It's available to international Amazon Kindle users as well (for those of you who don't live in the US). Be sure to check your Kindle store or your country's Amazon website. If you still don't see it right away, give it a few days.
          
          It will also be available on other e-book retailers shortly (like Nook  and iReader and so forth). Smashwords said it could take up to a week or two before it will be distributed to all retailers I selected.  Just keep an eye out.
          
          You might also want to visit my author website for any future publishing/book news: https://melissalyle.wordpress.com/

I’m currently trying to get back into my Wattpad so things won't seem so dead and inactive over here. I realized a month ago when I posted my last message that I’ve let things go down here since last year. I hate that. Once again, I apologize for that. Life has just been really busy. It still IS busy (and is going to get busier over this month and July), but I’m going to try and be a little more active around here than what I have been. And like I said in my last post, most of what I've been writing lately has been exclusive to my AO3.
          
          BUT... I am going to get back into updating some of my fanfics very soon! So all of you out there can look forward to that over the next several months. =)
          
          This Week’s Updates Include:
          
          I uploaded an original short ghost story: Down by the Sickle Tree! Be sure to check it out! =D This is the first original story that I’ve uploaded to the public. I’ve got another one in the works that I hope to upload later on this year.
          
          As some of you have probably noticed; I’ve uploaded some ‘temporary’ covers for some of my fanfics. I’ve been meaning to draw out some better looking ones, but haven’t had time yet. -_- So until I can get around to doing that, I figured I would throw up some simple temporary covers just to make them look a little nicer.

windchimeghost

Just some updates from me.
          
          Sorry I haven’t been active over here these days. Most of what I’ve written lately has been exclusive to my Archive of Our Own account. If you want to check out my latest fics, you’ll have to go over there. I’ve been submitting lots of good stuff there. =)
          
          A friend of mine and I have been heavily co-writing/RPing a couple of fanfics since the first of the year. So that’s partly what’s been keeping me busy as of late. One is a Loki fanfic (The Trouble with Loki) and the other is a ‘Rise of the Guardians’ fic (From Nightmares to Dreams). Both of these can be found on my Archive of Our Own account. Although I will warn that both of these fanfics contain non-sexual, disciplinary spanking throughout. If that type of content disturbs you or isn’t your cup of tea, then don’t read or comment. If you're 'ok' with spanking, then I highly recommend the Loki fic to any Loki fans. Some adorable, fluffy, squee-worthy, feelsy stuff in there. ;-)
          
          I DO plan to work on the next several chapters to my ‘Mother Dearest’ fanfic sometime this year. No, I haven’t forgotten about it. I apologize that it’s taken me so long to get those next chapters out. Life has just been busy. This year I expect to be even busier once summer gets here. But I do plan on working on them in-between other stuff that life throws my way. It might be August before I get them done and up. But I DO plan to get a few new chapters out for it sometime before this year comes to a close.
          
          For anyone who’s interested, I now have a Twitter account. I go by windchimeghost the same as here. Feel free to follow me over there: https://twitter.com/windchimeghost

@Oznamuno19 I’m still alive. Updates are coming. I ask that you please be patient. I’ve got a lot going on right now and have been working on some other fics along side my on-going ones. It takes a lot of time to write, especially when I have other things in life that also need my attention. Updates come whenever I can get them written up.
            
            Just to let you know. Wattpad is not my main account. My Archive of Our Own account is my main fanfiction account (link is in my profile), and I’ve been fairly active on there as of late.

I felt like I need to let my readers/followers know that I’m still alive. And, no, I haven’t forgotten about updating my ongoing fanfics. I’ve just been swamped with work these past few months and haven’t had time to work on fics like I want to. I’m currently working with an author to produce a full color children’s picture book. I’m drawing the illustrations for it as well as the cover artwork, so most of my time has been focused on that. I’m working towards an end-of-May deadline and feel like I’m just barely going to get everything done in time. So until I get the majority of this work done, you might not see very many fanfic updates coming out of me. Please be aware that I write fanfics for pleasure and a hobby and in-between other things whenever I have free time to devote to it. My job and work comes first, as you can understand.
          
          At this time, I’m not exactly sure when I’ll be able to work on fanfics heavy again. It will probably be sometime after May. In the mean time, I’m hoping to do a little bit of work on them on the weekends, but it mostly just depends on what I feel like. All I ask is that you be patient with me and please don’t hound me for updates. I update my fics whenever I’m able to and as fast as I’m able to.
          
          I’m going to go ahead and say that I plan to focus some of my time on personal work-related projects over the summer. I’m going to be working on putting together a couple of my own children’s books that I hope to publish. So I will be working on fanfics here and there whenever I find free time to squeeze them in.
          
          With all of that being said…
          
          Right now, I AM working on the next few chapters to my ‘Mother Dearest’ fanfic. They're slowly but surely coming along. The next chapter is a hard one that I’m somewhat stuck on, so I've just been sitting back and looking at it to see if I can put anymore into it before I call it finished.

Just thought I would give everyone a little update so that you don’t think I’ve dropped off the face of the earth. There’s just a lot of stuff happening in my life as of late, so I’ve been really busy with other things these days. I’ve been trying to do some writing in between everything else, so I’m slowly getting new chapters and fanfics written up.
          
          Currently I’m working on the next 3 chapters to ‘Mother Dearest’. At this point, I’m not entirely sure when I’ll get them finished where they can be uploaded. So I'm not going to give out any promises or dates. I’m hoping it will be around Thanksgiving and that's what I'll be shooting for, but we’ll have to wait and see what all happens between now and then.
          
          And for those of you who may be Percy Jackson fans, I’m going to go ahead and say that I'm also working on a short story for Percy Jackson. It will be my first ever fully complete Percy fanfic. I’m almost done with it, so it should be ready for me to upload it the end of this week or next.
