Hey! I’m not doing Flash Fiction this week. This was a last minute decision based on how my Friday and Saturday went. I have a huge school event this week coming up and I spent most of my Saturday working on it. It derailed my entire schedule, and I have to play catch up today.  It’s more important to hit my Mad World editing goal than Flash Fiction, to be quite honest and I have two more chapters left for this week.

News & In Case You Missed It

• I started editing Mad World and I’ve completed 4 chapters, including a brand new Chapter 79.
• You can keep up with my progress by using the widget in the sidebar or my Pacemaker link.
• Mad World is tentatively set for release on April 4 with a posting schedule of one chapter a day Monday – Friday.
• Karma was completed at Liason Haven on January 8. I will be publishing it on all platforms on March 1.

Patreon Posts

• Crimson Discovery #4 and Counting Stars – Alpha Draft post was added for Crimson Obsessed ($10) and Crimson Stalker ($15) tiers. The Alpha Draft post just includes the old Chapters 1-4 and Discovery material. Counting Stars is my April NaNoWriMo project.

Update Link – Karma, Part 2

With this posted, the first half of the assignment is done. The mystery is afoot 😛 Please check it out, let me know what you think, and make some guesses as to the murderer! Part 3 will be posted next Friday, on January 7.

As for this site, I’ll be back on Sunday with the new schedule and return of flash fiction beginning with Signs of the Life. I should be able to wrap that up sometime in March, then we’ll do Scars. For more information about my 2022 schedule, check out the Status post or the Production Schedule.

As always, these posts will be divided into parts. Please feel free to skip around to what you’re interested in. Thanks so much for your support and attention this year. It’s been a crazy one, and I have a really awesome community here. I’ve taken in the lessons of 2020 and 2021, and I’m looking forward to a safer and healthier year in 2022.

Note: I’ll be discontinuing the monthly status updates. Any changes to what’s going on will be on the Production Schedule and I’ll mention them in weekly Flash Fiction posts. So this post goes deep in depth because I won’t be really talking at length like this in the future.

ICYMI: Karma, Part 1 went live at The Liason Haven. Part 2 goes up tomorrow morning. You’ll have a week to guess who committed the murder, then I’ll post Part 3 on January 7 and Part 4 on January 8.
