All Your Fault

I’m de-lurking since Vitreous was sweet enough to nudge me. ::group glomp:: I’ve missed you, my fandom friends! But you’re foremost in my mind. In fact, you’re the reason I’ve been so scarce since wrapping up Lord Charming. You see, I’m writing you a book.

Q. An original story? What’s it about, you wretched tease? Continue reading

Dithering

Five chapters left. And I know what needs to happen in each. But the simultaneous culmination and climax of a tale always turns me into a dithering emotional wreck. Saying goodbye to a story is Hard, and not only because so many of you are trusting me to End Well. I’m gonna miss Lord Charming, too! ::wibble::

Lulling

In answer to recent inquiries…

Yes, Clumsy is on a short break. The lapse in updates was an unintentional consequence of holiday busyness (which was why I never made any official announcement). Lord Charming is experiencing a similar lull while I’m working out my writing schedule for 2017. These two stories will resume next week.

As always, thank you for your patience! ::twinkle::

Pie Baking & Drabble Making

A Lord Charming reviewer nudged me this morning, hoping for an update to Clumsy. I promise, the story’s open on my desktop. I’ll try to sneak in a little writing time between the rice pudding and the pumpkin pies. (Home smells amazing the day before Thanksgiving!)

Wishing you spice and sweetness and silver linings. Be grateful… and show it in big and little ways! ::twinkle::

FAQ: How long will Lord Charming be?

Ever since I jumped back into fandom’s playground and resumed Lord Charming, people have been asking some variation of this question:

  • How long will Lord Charming be?
  • How much longer are you going to drag this out?
  • Are you trying to reach 1,000 chapters?
  • Will you ever complete this story?
  • I hope it never ends!
  • I love the courtship rituals!
  • You ruined everything with the courtship arc.
  • Where are the lemons?!? There had better be lemons!!!

Yes, this story is long. No, I’m not purposefully dragging things out. I’ve always known that this is the direction the story would take, but I wasn’t exactly sure how long it would take me to spin it all out. (I’m three parts pantser, people. This is me having fun.) Continue reading
