@Everlark12 Hey!! Thanks for reaching out. Unfortunately, the original versions were lost when I changed laptops some years ago and I don’t have them anymore. If I did, I’d send them!
@XBellaNicoleX Haha definitely! I’m using Dabble to help me plot things out and I’ve imported the whole thing to get going again. Google Docs just wasn’t doing it anymore, with all the different parts to track.
I've been trying for MONTHS to get the next part of The Island written... but I am STUCK. I think it might be time for an edit (rearrange some things, add some points that were missed over the course of so many years)... writing a serial story is always a learning curve!
My biggest regret is the B/E relationship... every time I reread, it feels so RUSHED. I know it wasn't - they had hundreds of thousands of words to get together - but still.
@RiahBott It’s the lack of accountability for me. I love a grey character who is treated as such… but everyone seems to be giving her a pass because of her trauma. I’d be kicking her out of my house and my life for the way she treats people. Not welcoming and excusing her.
Anyone here read the ACOTAR series? I’m 200 pages into ACOWAR and I’m about ready to shelve it as a DNF. I loved ACOMAF, but Nesta is totally ruining this one. She’s selfish, rude, obnoxious, abrasive, abusive… and no one holds her accountable. Do I continue, or put it away?
It’s been a while, but I hope to get back to writing soon. I got a puppy at the end of the summer and she’s a needy, time-sucking gremlin, but I love her.
I've discovered a new website (artbreeder) so I played around and made some headshots for a few characters from The Island. I still have no idea what I'm doing (lord help you if you adjust a setting too enthusiastically), but it was fun to tinker.

@XBellaNicoleX thanks ❤️
I don’t mind critics at all… when they’re constructive. If people have helpful advice or insights then by all means, help me do better. But I get a little cranky with people who criticize just to criticize. Like what good does that do? Why even waste your energy?
Imma leave this here for people who aren’t clear… is After the Fall angsty? Yes. Too angsty? Maybe. Self indulgent? Dramatic? Over the top? Definitely. Am I sorry about it?No. Am I going to stop?ABSOLUTELY not. 😂
It’s free, amateur entertainment.Don’t take it so seriously. 😘
@judo_lin THIIIIIS. Sometimes I feel too sensitive (even though I’m not exactly upset, more irritated). I love criticism that is constructive but if all you’re going to do is bitch then move along.
And if I WAS 12 and new to writing, I know for a fact that this would’ve 100% shut me down
@judo_lin I prob shouldn’t have said anything because it’s 1 reviewer but really… anyone who’s been paying attention is FULLY aware that this story is a wee bit much. That’s exactly how it was intended.
It’s the assumption that I’m unaware of what I’ve written that does it for me 😂
