    Still going in spite of life

    A reader kindly poked me today to inquire how I was doing since I haven't posted anythin on my stories or blog for months now. Real life slammed me pretty hard after my May update and writing has been at the bottom of the list. Just to detail a few of the incidents, I've been cleaning up a flooded basement, taking care of sick kids (three hospital visits; thank god there aren't bills to pay),

    It’s time for the monthly check-in. This month was far more productive than the last so I’m feeling pretty good. As usual, you can find more after the break.

    Checking In - April 2018

    Greetings! I’m a few days late but it’s time for my monthly check in. I had high hopes for March but life with young children has a habit of altering those plans. Heck, I'm even three days late posting this blog! More after the break and the statistics.

    Checking In - March 2018

    Hello everyone! February has ended and so it is time for our monthly check-in. It’s been a weird month and not quite as productive as I’d hoped. Fortunately, the reason for that lack of productivity isn’t an issue of inspiration. More after the break.

    Checking In - February 2018

    Hello everyone! It’s time for the monthly check-in. The past month has been educational to say the least. As a result, I’m making a few changes to the way I approach these updates and what I’m going to include in them. More after the break.

On Rewrite Completion · 9:53pm Sep 12th, 2017

Greetings! I am pleased, although quite late in announcing that the re-writes of Chapter 1 - 8 of Finding a Place are complete and published. On review, I will probably be writing additional chapters but for now, I'm satisfied with what I've accomplished.

I don't want to get into spoilers here so this is deliberately vague. Each chapter grew in size by between 500 and 1000 words mostly thanks to the increased quality of descriptions and clarification of a few scenes. The main character's internal monologue has been cleaned up so a certain critical plot point is clear to the readers while remaining a mystery to the actual character. Most importantly, character development has been tidied up and the evolution of the relationships between the OC and the main characters is a far rougher road. I honestly believe the new chapters are a massive improvement on the original version.

Also, I want to give a big thank you to Nightshade1228 for taking the time to pre-read the new chapters. The end result wouldn't have been nearly as polished without that contribution. I hope you enjoy the improved chapters as much as I enjoyed writing them!

Thanks for your support and comments!
