I am still not writing SV fanfic. The Mack situation has not gotten better. She has not redeemed herself and unless and until she manages that, I just can't write, read, watch, or think about Chloe. I wish I could separate the character from the actress, but it's just not something I can do at this time. Maybe down the line.
I started and completed a Regency Historical Romance on Wattpad (the first of a four-book series). Having started with fanfiction, I felt like this was a perfect fit for me, giving me reader interaction and motivation to keep going. I'm always more likely to deliver words when I know someone is waiting to read them.
It took a while for me to gain readers, but I kept posting diligently and it started picking up steam last year to the point where it has over 325,000 reads, I've got 1700 followers and, best of all, it won a Watty Award and I was invited into the Wattpad Stars program!

The whole experience was so rewarding that, while I'm working on Book 2, I decided to remove Maybe It's Magic (previously Under The Influence but with a heavy makeover) from Amazon. Sales have been stagnant all year and I would rather it be read for free than not read at all.

Besides that, I spend most of my time on either Wattpad...

Feel free to follow/interact with me there.
So that's about it. I'll check in whenever there's a new development or anything I wanna dish about. Don't be a stranger!
