Update Link: You’re Not Sorry – Part 5

Hey! Hope you enjoyed this week of double updates! This is the last Phillies west coast trip until mid September,  and that’s the third week of classes, so not even sure I’ll be able to write much less stay up late. We’ll play it by ear on that.

I’m glad everyone is enjoying the new story. I don’t usually like to do the same time period back to back like this, but when I’m actively watching GH, I’m always thinking — how can I make this about Jason & Liz, and that was really clear with the Agent Cates murder last year which was really good — until it just stopped. Sonny got away with murdering Cates in cold blood on the Q property and Michael got away with covering it up. I really only kept the plot elements of Cates being murdered while the Qs are having a party. Everything else is pretty different. I think at this point on the show, Jason was in Africa saving Lucky, and well, I’m good. We don’t need that, lol.

I don’t plan to update this weekend because I completely blanked on updating my Crimson Swift story on Patreon today — I need to make that up, and write the other Patreon stuff. I also really haven’t touched These Small Hours. It’s not really any good reason other than energy. It’s been a while since I’ve read Books 1 & 2, so I actually need to reread them both before diving in for real. I plan to do that while I’m at the conference. I’m going to take my iPad, a PDF copy of both books, and a notebook and just really focus on that in my downtime.

Just a reminder that I’ll be leaving early Tuesday morning and will be mostly incommunicado until I get home on Thursday because I don’t know what the wifi access is, and I somehow got signed up for an extension activity on Wednesday night. (Please kill me; I have to be social.)

However — just because I don’t plan on writing Flash this weekend, that doesn’t mean I won’t. I’m reallly enjoying this story — it’s one of the few where as soon as the plot clicked in my head, I wrote a huge plot sketch, and it’s just flowing in a way that I don’t think a flash fiction has in a long time, maybe since Hits Different or Warning Shots.

So stay tuned — I post on Twitter when I start the timers, and I’m also going to start using the Patreon chat above. You can download the app and it will send notifications to you when I update in the chat. It’s completely free. I might even use it for regular updates.

See you when I see you 🙂

Update Link: You’re Not Sorry – Part 4

Will be back later tonight since it’s a Phillies After Bedtime Start 😛

Update Link: You’re Not Sorry – Part 3

Updating a little early today, because honestly, the new Sims 4 Expansion Pack comes out today and there’s no Phillies game today, so —

Tomorrow is a 9:40 Phillies start so there’s a small chance we’re looking at a double update which might be nice going into the weekend since next week is my Baltimore trip for a work conference. I will not be updating at all Tuesday-Thursday next week because the schedule simply doesn’t allow it. I have to drive to Baltimore in the morning, and that’s like a 2 hour drive, so I gotta get up at like 5AM and be on the road by 6AM, and then I don’t even get finished at the conference until like almost 1 on Thursday. I will be dead by the time I get home.

 

omg I was starting to think everyone hated everything this week, lol! I hadn’t gotten a single comment since Monday night! The comments are fixed now, so if you wanted to leave a comment on anything I’ve posted this week:

Dear Reader – Part 48 | Dear Reader – Part 49 | Dear Reader – Part 50

You’re Not Sorry – Part 1 | You’re Not Sorry – Part 2

Update Link: Dear Reader – Part 50

Updated a fair bit this week, so if you’ve missed anything —

Dear Reader – Part 48 | Dear Reader – Part 49 | You’re Not Sorry – Part 1

Update Link: You’re Not Sorry – Part 2

Phillies are playing at 9:45 again and I am draggging. I went to sleep late last night because of the game not getting over until after midnight, and I had to get up early to move the car to avoid a parking ticket. If I stay up again, and the Phillies lose, you’re gonna see me on the news.

Last double update until (maybe) Friday.

In Case You Missed It: You’re Not Sorry – Part 1

Also updated: Flash Fiction & Recent Updates

Hope everyone is having a good day! No melatonin overdose for me last night, and shockingly, I woke up on time at 7 and didn’t have to drag mself out of bed.

If you missed it, I launched the new Flash Fic last night as my bonus update to keep me awake (the Phillies lost, but we’ve decided to blame the umpire). I’ll update the new story again tonight if the schedule works out. Either way, Dear Reader finishes tomorrow, and I’ll be posting the new story.

I don’t usually like to write the same time period back-to-back like this, especially since I know a lot of you aren’t watching regularly. I’m working on plotting out a few other stories, and taking care to avoid 2024 next time. It’s just this idea just clicked, and it’s been a while since a story came together in my head like this.

Update: You’re Not Sorry – Part 1

I was originally going to do a bonus update of Dear Reader to wrap it up faster, but I wasn’t really feeling a second update in me today (this usually happens to me as I wind down a story, the fun stuff is over, lol) but I still wanted to do something that keeps me awake for a late Phillies game, so…we’re launching the new flash series early!

I haven’t added it to the Recent Updates // Flash page yet, so I’ll do that tomorrow, but I’m very excited about this one. I’ve been plotting out the whole story, and I’ve got 10k of scenes and dialogue sketched out, and I’m a little past halfway through. Hope you guys enjoy this one 🙂

Update Link: Dear Reader – Part 48

I’ve been feeling super tired and sleeping a lot lately — and last night, I went to bed around 10 because I really wanted to get up at a good time and get a lot of work done — but then I slept until almost 9AM and still struggled to get out of bed. I started to think well maybe with it being summer, I don’t need to take my melatonin — I usually take 2 10mg tablets because I struggle to sleep during the school year.

I look at the bottle today and it’s 40MG tablets! I’ve been taking 80MG of melatonin every damn night. NO WONDER I’m freaking tired. I didn’t look closely when I got this bottle, lol. So we’re going cold turkey for a few days to reset my system. Just wild, lol.

Anyway.

Phillies play at 9:45 three times this week, so if I end up doing bonus updates for Flash to keep myself awake, I’ll start writing at 8:30 and post at 9:30PM tonight, Tuesday, and Friday.

So I might be back tonight, I might not. Sign up for updates in the sidebar if you want emails 🙂

Update: Dear Reader – Part 47

One my favorite things about summer is no Sunday scaries 😛 I overslept this morning, mostly because I stayed up too late last night. My schedule is all off, lol, and it won’t get better with 9:45 starts in San Francisco this week. There are three of them, so don’t be surprised if I pop up with updates here at at like 9 or 9:30. (These would be extra, not late updates)

See you guys tomorrow 😛
