Just to keep everyone up to date.
If you follow my stories on AO3, I have temporarily put Beauty and the Beast on hiatus. Likely won’t get back to it until after the new year. I’m not sure what I am doing next with it and rather than stress myself out forcing a chapter I’m not prepared to write, I put it aside for now. It’s not abandoned.
I updated The Wrong Captain. I am going a slightly different direction in that story than I think I wanted to originally but it’s just evolved this way and I’m going with it. I am actually liking it more than I had been for a while so I think it’s the right choice.
I’m madly working on one of my advent stories I claimed and I think it’s going very well. I had claimed one related to the Great Bakeoff show in Britain because I love that show but I don’t actually think I have time for it and I’m already signed up to do two other stories by the same requestor so I think I’m good to drop it.
Don’t have another update on the ChessMaster and TooSexy yet but probably early next week.
As I think I mentioned I have a Halloween flash scheduled for here on Halloween and it’s exclusive to the blog. And I mean that.
Once I get the three stories I am still claiming for Advent (and it’s not anonymous so you could see the ones I claimed) finished, I’ll get cracking on my own holiday story.

Taking care of business I see! At least one of us is. π
I think itβs smart to go with your gut when a story evolves. Trying to force it in another direction serves no one. And hey if you donβt like it then chances are readers wonβt either. You happy and excited with it will give us the best experience.
Looking forward to all of this! Write on friend!

I agree! If your story evolves as you write it, itβs your vision that has changed as the chapters have unfolded. Your characters are speaking through your words and telling you where they want to go. Thank you for not abandoning your Beauty and the Beast story. I am enjoying it. Write when the time allows and your muse strikes! Looking forward to whatever you write and share with us!
