Desert Desserts - Group Editing

OMG don’t get me started! I have one I did like almost 20 years ago now and it has been sitting in a bunch of notepads and word docs and will NEVER get finished but will also never throw it out cause it was my first attempt at a novel and still has my heart. Also have a fan fic I will never finish and one I did a few years ago that I plotted, made an elaborate world for, and then discovered it was too esoteric for the masses and it haunts me still… I toy with starting it up again, but mostly I will probably just take the parts I was excited for in those and shove them into a new story. I thank it for helping me grow, but like a lot of my WIP and top shelf idea’s they will probably never be realized. :frowning:

The Siren’s Lullaby - For those of you nearing the end of the 1st half, I gave access to the 2nd half of the book

Barely got any writing done this week. Between my birthday and the birth of my 1st grandbaby (I’m a young grandmother but it feels really weird to call myself that!) I have been a bit distracted. They named her Sage and she was a preemie, so still in the NICU. She’s doing well though and just hit 5 lbs 2 nights ago, so she will hopefully be home in 2 weeks.

I just saw this! Congratulations! That is so excited and so glad Sage (beautiful name) is doing well it seems. Every ounce counts when they are in the NICU. Please let me know if you need anything. My husband’s youngest brother was born at 26 weeks and that was so rough on his family.

Hey all! Congrats @TMinx804 with the new bundle of joy in your family! I will be doing as much as I can today with everyone’s stories and then will probably not be able to do more for the rest of this week. It’s been incredibly busy and haven’t even had time to write. Hopefully next week I can catch up but just a heads up Aug over all might be a month for me where I have to take a back seat.

Completely understand! Take the time you need and just keep us/me as updated as you can. :slight_smile: I’ve been hitting the books really hard today too. Always feels good when you have a day where you can make tons of progress. I’m planning on finished chapters 47-50 of Wolf and Hood tonight, in a nice bath after my daughter goes to bed. (Considering this is the week where my husband works from nap time to midnight. So my second half of the day is very empty and only spent with a few hours of toddler time.)

Hey everyone! I’m gonna be updating my tracking list soon, but I just wanted to apologise if Twisted is really confusing in a bad way. I think it was too ominescent and I just had so many ideas to the point where it turned out very messy. I’m sorry if it was hard to read or rather boring, but I’m working on the second draft now while writing Atomic Heart, and I promise it’ll be better. Also thank you @Vintaginity for finishing my first ever book :)) If I could give you a physical hug, I would, and I can’t wait for the rest of you to finish it :)) :heart:
