:woman_shrugging: I was thinking the same thing. But newer members usually either check all the time or disappear because they forget about the site.

Always wishing you the best of luck my dear friend! 🩷 the group editing isnt for everyone, but always open if you ever decide to give it a try again.

I wrote a poem, enjoy:
Pain is sweet, is it not?
It stings and tears you down like rot
Your heart turns cold, and brain goes numb
You drink and cry, but still it comes.

I’m sorry to hear about the Mental Health, that can always be hard! It’s never fun to be dealing with things. Please let me know if you ever need to vent/chat. I’m always here.

I just checked and you should be able to see the doc! Let me know if you can’t!

Nothing to apologize for, glad to see you’re back :slight_smile:

So sorry for not consistently uploading my chapters! Turns out writing the climax/end of a ms with several plots is hard LOL! I hesitate to upload just incase I have to go back in and add a lil info or move it around to tie up loose ends and such, but then again y’all have been reading it for so long you probably wont even notice!

No worries, you have to write your story how you see fit. Do you have some ideas outlined or are you a pantser?

Thanks for the encouragement! (:

I pantsed the first act, and then loosely oulined the rest. Its my 2nd draft but I’ve changed so much that the ending I wrote doesn’t quite hit right so I’m rewriting it all with a far more detailed outline(that I keep getting sucked into rather than writing the story itself haha).

Do you ouline or free write?

I’m in the doc now, but I don’t see ur chapter twenty.

I pantsed my first book but since then I have been outlining. I usually don’t go into too much detail but I jot down about a sentence of what the chapter is going to be about. I figure for about 20 chapters, but I usually end up adjusting for a little more bc sometimes I need to add or when I’m writing, things expand into more than I thought they would. I think I’d be really lost without an outline though!
