This is Not An April Fool's Joke

I really wanted to update soon and I regret this update comes on this day because I have some news that some (okay, most) of you will not like and hope I am joking about. Okay, prepare yourselves. I pre-apologize.





On Higher Ground is on Hiatus

): Did you know Harper Lee wrote a second novel called The Long Goodbye but, was never able to finish it ? Also, the well known Pillars of the Earth took 10 years to write ? I hope that softens the blow.

I know, I know, I know.  I am so, so, so , sorry , I feel so bad about this but, I am putting a semi-permenant halt on OHG updates. Mostly because . . . there is nothing to update with.

OHG came to me as a good idea with some key plot points but, no real story. I thought the story would just come organically like UL did but, it didn't and I kept getting behind.  As I started work on the end of chapter 4, it became a real chore and I was in a writer's crisis. I had no idea how to move the story forward, I hit a wall. At this point the story is such a jumbled mass I need to organize it. I feel so humiliated about this.

Honestly, I have been flirting with pulling a Midnight Sun and canceling OHG completely. I am not super happy with it. I am sure if I hadn't posted it, I would have never posted it. I even thought of doing a Pushing Dasies and tying up loose ends or something in a chapter or so. I mean I am going to keep working on it. There are still some moments I want to write but, right now . . . it won't be my priority. *cringe*

What's Next ?

During the time when OHG was giving me issues I started working on my other works. At this point in time I have lots of stories going on. En Moritas is coming along nicely but, I want to finish all the "drabbles" before I post them.  I have a complete outline for my "challenge story" with Lile. I am so excited about it.

I  spent an extensive amount of time thinking about this paranormal romance. I mean a lot. I even started hand writing it just for fun.  I really wanted to rewrite the same old same old. I also wanted to appeal to a younger audience. Not like pre-teen but, fewer adult overtones. The paranormal romance became my obsession, I could not stop thinking about it and pretty soon I had made a dent in it. So . . .  I am happy to share with you this new "paranormal romance"  serial.

Encounters


This serial has been months in the making. Actually, I mentioned a paranormal romance last year off hand so, it is a year in the making. This serial has a special place in my heart because it gave me stress relief when OHG was causing me trouble. The words flowed so perfectly. This has been a big undertaking because I really wanted to fit the genre requirements but, I really do love my interpretations.

I wish I had made a complete banner or video or something to preview this but, honestly I just want to get to the story. I have been holding on to this and I really love it so, it is very strange showing it to you all. I hope my gushing doesn't prejudice you.  This is my first time writing original characters in a while so, that has been interesting.


Look out for a special author's note !

-1- Ironic by Alanis Morisette (really wanted the acoustic ):
-2-Somebody Told Me by The Killers
-3- The Vigil by David Nueve (love him !)
