Howdy y'all! This isn't a story, but just a place for me to update the status on stories.
The reason I am doing this is kind of two fold, one, because I love you guys and so appreciate your support and interest in my stories and want to keep you updated and two, the one that kind of bums me out is a way to let people know the scoop so I can hopefully cut down on the number of snarky PM's or comments about the wait between chapters or "it's rude to leave them hanging" or people accusing me of "never finishing my stories." I have always finished my stories. Some just take longer than others.
So this is a non-story to tell you about my stories.
XXXXXXX
I have three multi-chapters that are currently going. It has been over a month that I've posted on any of them. Not for "lack of trying" or because of "laziness." I would like nothing more than to write full time, but I have a job, I have a family, I have stress and all of these can take away from my writing. (Oh cwap and not to mention writers block on said stories, oh woe is me!)
So many people are awesome and encouraging, letting me know in such a positive way that they can't wait for the next chapter or to please update. I love those comments! They make me feel great because it is such an awesome compliment that you like my story and want more.
But others just suck. The ones that imply that I am lazy, or rude or somehow doing something wrong to them while they compliment me on wanting another chapter. I suppose if we were doing lemons to lemonade here, I could focus on the lovely compliment buried under the snark.
I want my stories to be the same quality all the way through and some chapters are harder than others, mainly the ones on the down side of the arc…the whump is usually kind of easy, the aftercare not so much.
Also, and probably the most important thing, I would never abandon my stories, they are my babies and they mean a lot to me.
Okay, enough about that:
Here's the update:
Blink:
I am currently working on chapter 7. I was hoping I could get it out by this weekend, but a few of the people I work with are out with Covid or isolating because they are sick and I have had to work more than usual, but it's coming.
He's a Keeper:
I'm working on Chapter 7 for this one also. The chapter is also pretty close to being done, but still needs work. I would love to give you a time line but I just can't. Sorry.
Intelligence One Shots:
This will be an ongoing story, I'll probably never "finish" it because I want to keep adding individual stories, but it is also not abandoned.
And if I am in a huge bout of writers block with ongoing stories, I try to write something on the gazillion one shots sitting on my computer waiting to be finished, hence the three other stories I have published since I updated HAK or Blink.
XXXXXXX
Anyway, that's the scoop. Thanks for your support, stay safe and as always, thanks for reading! Be safe peeps! You are the bombdiggity!
