Your Update Link: For the Broken Girl – Chapter Twelve

Hey! Checking in with some brief news for you. At 9 am, I’ll be posting the June 2020 site & story status which has a lot of info and details talking about plans for this summer and the rest of the year, but here are some quick highlights:

I am completely finished editing For the Broken Girl, Book 1. All the chapters and update posts have been scheduled. I am sooo excited to be done and moving onto the next project while you guys enjoy the rest of the chapters. The story will conclude on Friday, July 17.  The entire draft and preliminary ebook is available for my Patreon Supporters on the Crimson Adored tier.

Starting tomorrow (June 2), I’ll be starting a new round of Flash Fictions. I’ve picked three series ideas and will update each one of them once a week on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays.

Can’t wait to get started! I’ll see you guys tomorrow!

Your Update Link: For the Broken Girl – Chapter Nine

This will be a short and sweet text update — I’ll be back at the end of the week with your June Site & Story update status and I’ve got a big one planned so stay tuned for that.

I was REALLY excited to post Chapter Eight on Friday, and you guys didn’t disappoint! That Jason & Elizabeth scene was unplanned — I hadn’t intended for them to have THAT conversation yet. They weren’t supposed to get the close until closer to Chapter 20. After I wrote that scene, I had to stop and decide if I was going to revisit the entire Liason relationship in Book 1 or rewrite the scene. I decided to do the first one, even though it was harder. The book is so much better for that decision, I think, and it’s one of the reasons Broken Girl didn’t need to be a trilogy.

I’m excited for you guys to see where we go next — this week’s chapters really kick up the action, the drama, and the romance! Enjoy!

Your Update Link: For the Broken Girl – Chapter Six

Finally got a chance to come in and add some text to one of these template update posts. I hope you guys are okay that 1-2 times a week, it’s just simply the link to the newest chapter. I’ve been busy with other things, and honestly, having the update post also be scheduled so far into the future is a relief.

Thanks so much for the response so far! We’re just about finished setting up the story and we’re about to go full force into the main part of the story with Chapter Six and the Sonny/Emily reveal (oops! spoiler!) In editing news, I ended up splitting Chapter 13 into two chapters and adding two extra new scenes and substantially rewriting Chapter 14. I don’t plan to do that with any of the other later chapters, it’s just Chapter 13 didn’t quite make the emotional landing it needed to and there was still something missing. I hope to get the final tweaks on the draft done this week.

Because Broken Girl is taking a bit longer than I wanted and Mad World Book 3 has been giving me a bit of trouble, I’m about 75% sure that I’ll be pushing publication back a month. To be honest, I had really anticipated being completely done with Broken Girl by this point but I’ve been able to do an extra round of edits that make the story so much better. I’ll be adding this stange to Mad World, and with barely three months to go until the original publication, I don’t think I’ll make it. I’d have a month to do the draft, a month for the first round of edits, and a month to finish the edits — I don’t think I can manage a three month turnaround for an entire novel.

I’ll let you know for sure at the end of the week. If I can get Broken Girl done this week and get into Mad World with some real progress by Friday, I can make a more accurate prediction of how long it’s going to take.

Your Update Link: For the Broken Girl – Chapter Three

I scheduled all the chapters through the end of the month as well as a template for the main post so that even if I get tired and forget to add text the night before, you guys still get the link emailed to you. And that’s pretty much what’s going on right now — I’m really tired, and it’s late on Sunday night so enjoy this chapter and I’ll see you Wednesday!
