Fluffy but painful

I started writing a pinkilicious birthday and people are probably wondering where the next chapter is. It is coming, but this is a much slower write than my previous stuff. One of the main reasons is though it is a fluffy piece, with a little more introspection than it's prequel, it is extremely painful for me to write and I really wasn't expecting that.

Let me explain:

Pinkilicious is a follow-up to my Fluffy Pink Christmas story and revolves around a revisionist version of when I was in third grade. It also deal with my interaction with my recently departed Aunt, who i am still grieving for. I started writing this last Wednesday and things seemed to go swimmingly. But my birthday was yesterday, the 22nd. No one from my family called and I felt the absence of my Aunt that much greater. With feeling such sorrow, I find that I can only write a 1000 words at a time (normally I hit 5000 and can usually knock out a chapter in 2 days). The story will be completed, but it may take longer than most like. Sorry.

Go as you can

Katie, go at the pace you can. The first story was hard for you, and this one will be too. We will take it when you can get it out.

Birthdays are tough. I remember the first birthday my family forgot my birthday. I was in High School living away from home. It isn't easy Katie feeling the loss and seperation from family at holidays, especially your birthday. You were close to your Aunt, and this is your first birthday without her. You will make it through this. Remember the good times with your Aunt. Writing Pinkilicious might be theraputic for you, reminding you of how good she was in your life. Create the interaction you wish the two of you had had. Put her into your story showing all what a wonderful person she was.

Happy Birthday!

Hello K. T.

Happy Birthday, girl! And, many, many more ... all happier than this one!
We who know your works, love you. You have given us great joy in meeting Jenny, her family and, of course, Neesa. You have written other stories that have reached out and touched us. And, for those things we will all be grateful.
I am sorry to hear of your aunt's passing. I'm sure we all share your grief.
So, write as the mood or the need strikes you. We will await it, and enjoy it all the more when it does come.
With love,
Red
