Hey, I’m still alive! Sorry for not updating since the start of the school year. I hope it will be the last year of this; I’ll finish my master’s program at the end of June. I do still have a few chapters of Sick as My Secrets done from this past summer, but I haven’t posted them because I haven’t been writing, and it seems unfair to tease you only to stop updating again. If I get some more written on it over my Christmas break, I’ll probably post some. That is my goal, but I make no promises.
That said, I’m not posting just to apologize again. I actually do have an update! I started a short Christmas story that, just like last year, isn’t going to be finished in time for Christmas, but I am going to give you a sneak peek and a promise to finish it before my break’s over. It’s not another pandaskunk story, but a little companion piece to Curtain Call. I know – where did that come from, right?? Well actually, I’ve been toying with the idea of writing a Nick and Cary one-shot for like two years, but – shocker – never got around to it. I originally had an idea inspired by the song “Make Believe,” but when I heard Nick’s new album, All American, the idea changed. Two of the songs reminded me so much of Cary that I thought it was a shame Curtain Call was written during the I’m Taking Off era and not this one because I totally would have used them in the story if I could have. Then I thought, “Well, maybe I still can…”
So if you’re interested to read more about Cary and Nick (and not Zombie Nick this time, I promise!), enjoy this little sneak peek of my short story, If…. I will be back with the rest sometime soon – and hopefully with some Sick as My Secrets too!
Merry Christmas!
