Hello dear readers!
I would like to say that I have one chapter completed and one more underway for "An Aunt's Love!" I hesitated to post the last chapter due to the content, and my therapist suggested posting two chapters at once to mitigate the content of the first. She is brilliant, my friends. Simply brilliant. I am working on the next chapter right now, so I will hopefully have something ready to post in a few weeks.
I did not complete Nanowrimo, or even Camp Nanowrimo in April. I'm not looking at it as failure. I have more words on the page for one of my novels...so, it's still a win?
Look at me finding those silver linings. My therapist would be proud.
That being said, I'm still looking for those interested in reading some of my original work for the simple price of feedback. Beta reading, basically. I have several different stories underway (cue maniacal laughter here) in a few different genres. Fantasy? Dystopian? Any takers?
Until next time, readers!

Gearing Up for Nanowrimo
Hello dear readers!
It's almost November, and you know what that means! NANOWRIMO!!!
Yes, it is that time of year when millions of people take an almost complete leave of their senses and attempt to write a novel of 50,000 words in just thirty days.
Yes, we know it's crazy.
Yes, we know it's masochistic.
All the same, it does get me writing, which usually leads to more writing. That writing may lead to updates.
Also, would anyone like to beta read for me? I have a chapter ready to go, but there's a few things I'd like to bounce off someone in the fandom. Any takers?

Still Alive
Hello dear readers!
I am still alive and well.
Actually, I'm a little better than well. It's hard to explain. My doctor is trying a new medication that is supposed to help the depression and anxiety at the same time (What a magical substance!! Must be from the wizarding world...), and I have a feeling that it may just work. My last round of meds had a few side effects that were less than desirable.
Life is extremely busy. This was probably the wrong time to sign up for so many teaching hours at the dance studio or start taking a college class, but I am confident that I will be able to meet all of my obligations. I even wrote this weekend! And it was in "What is Right: Year Two!!"
I know what you're all thinking: "IT'S ABOUT TIME!!!"
And you're right.
Still, I am happy with the progress it's making and hopefully will find some free time to update soon. Perhaps this weekend. (Do NOT hold me to that. Anything could happen between now and Saturday.)
I do have a paper due this week, so I must focus on that first. School is important. :)
All the same, keep your comments and reviews coming. They inspire me quite a bit and make me consider things this brain has forgotten. In the meantime, I'll continue writing.

Ideas
Hello dear readers!
Ever have so many ideas that your only hope was to snatch a notebook and write them all down because you didn't want to forget them? I have woken up with ideas, had ideas show up during a shower or while I'm washing dishes (plot bunnies are hydrophilic little critters), while I'm in dance class, while I'm driving - well, you get the idea. They show up all the time, and usually when I have no notebook available.
I am currently sitting on two great ideas for fanfiction. One takes place after the Final Battle in Year Seven, and the other takes place during...and after the Final Battle. It's kind of hard to explain that one. :) All the same, they're both awesome stories. The first is full of reconciliation between characters that make all my feels go a little psycho. The second is more of an exploration of a situation. In other words, characters are put in an impossible situation and I kind of sit back and watch.
They're both AMAZING ideas (if I do say so myself...). I just haven't had time to really put them down on paper, and I know that some of you might actually lynch me if I start new stories without updating the old ones.
My current count of original fiction ideas stands at thirty-one. Yes, thirty-one. Three and one together to form a number that matches my age.
Some of them are awesome, others are close to my heart, and some are annoying little idiots that can't seem to keep themselves out of trouble. One of the characters, Michael, is in the hospital at the moment. It's not a bad injury, but he did just get over an illness.
They're all in a bit of trouble at the moment. Cathy just got kicked out of classes...again, Kal is having some issues with a dark wizard, Jade is, well, hiding, and a few others are running. There is a lot of running. It's like Doctor Who in my head.
Yes, this does signal the end of the Illness-That-Can't-Be-Named. Updates are coming!

What Sorcery Is This?
Against all odds, dear readers, I have actually managed some progress this month in Camp Nanowrimo. I know, it's incredible!
I am the happy writer with 41,309 words to her name and it just keeps coming along with more and more words every day. I'm not sure where this is coming from really, as two weeks ago I could not have cared less if this had happened. IT IS HAPPENING!!! :)
The best part is that nothing is wrong with it. I know that sounds strange, but there is nothing wrong with the story at the moment. The characters are cooperating, the plot is moving along nicely, the setting is perfect, the dialogue is good.
Wait a moment....
This almost never happens to me. It is usually an uphill battle the whole way, fighting characters, forcing dialogue....
Hmm. I probably shouldn't question this until after I reach my goal.
I'll keep you posted.

Holy Crap - I forgot I had this blog!!!
So...I completely forgot I had this blog. As in, "Hey, I should set up a blog on Blogger since I already have a Gmail account!" and IT. WAS. ALREADY. THERE!!!!
I even love the theme, which I must have chosen once upon a time. I have no memory of this place. I feel like Gandalf.
I've been maintaining a blog on my website...hmm....how to link these two. I need to look into that. So, expect updates, because I fully intend on making use of this. :)
