Hi! It's been a while :/
I'm so sorry. My life has been even messier than usual. I turned 29, got really sick again, found out I have some heart problems and my awful diet and constant stress isn't helping and have had to try and rework my life. Mental illness combined with being trans = Bad.
It hasn't been going well, and I won't bore you with the details cos honestly, they're kind of boring.
Hi everyone! I'm sorry for being away for so long, and not updating the Waitress!
At first I got really sick again, my immune system isn't very good, but while I was recovering I got a job! And got so anxious about it that I got sick again >.> Aha. My body sucks.
Hi!
So, as the name suggests, I have some questions about pacing!
When I write, I have a lot of trouble doing time-skips. I love writing detailed scenes and putting in as much information as possible, but I always have trouble moving on from those scenes, so I kind of keep the story going throughout and end up moving important scenes up so I don't have to time-skip.
Hello ^_^ I thought I'd give an update on the state of my stories. I put the names in bold so you can easily find the ones you're interested in!
So:
The waitress: Still going strong! Thankyou all so much for the insane amount of support I've gotten on it! It makes me really happy :D Chapter 11 will hopefully come out in the next couple of days. I'm half-way done, just finished up a scene with Anya
First off, I want to thank everyone who read/commented/kudo'd my recent stories ^_^ The reception I've gotten to them is amazing and it makes me feel great :D The Waitress especially is something I've been planning and working on for a while
I really wanted to get the next chapter out today or tomorrow, but unfortunately that's not going to happen :( Some personal things have come up that I've had to deal with, and I've started to get the sniffles >.<
So! I've been trying to continue writing Eden's reality for a while now, but I haven't had much luck. I've made a lot of mistakes with the story, mainly pushing up important scenes so that they'd happen earlier in the story because I was worried readers would get bored/lose interest in the story if I didn't, and it threw the whole thing off balance. Eden wasn't supposed to be changed until his first night at school but I moved that forward, and as such Alexis and he never kissed, and Yani didn't appear until much later, after even Julia was introduced.
So, it was pointed out to me that it's not quite believable that Jake wouldn't suspect that Aunt Linda has had a hand in his body's changes, and I agree! I had a few lines (quite a few, actually) that went into this but I cut them out because they felt a bit too messy, but I decided to go back and clean them up and re-do the section from when Aunt Linda leaves the bathroom to when Jake goes to his room.
Thankyou Sephrena :)
So! In my last chapter of A World Without Me (chapter 2), I left some of the end off, as I thought I could incorporate it into the start of the next chapter, but I ended up going back to what was once a small paragraph and turning it into a huge 2,000 word section that doesn't fit at all with the start of the next chapter and it's really annoying me >.<
