Happy New Year!  As we kick off 2026, I want to start by thanking you, my lovely readers, for continuing to come here and read my fanfic.  I enjoyed sharing my thoughts on some of the characters, scenes, and stories I’ve written over the past twenty-five years in celebration of Dreamer’s Sanctuary’s 25th anniversary, and I hope you also enjoyed reading last year’s Throwback Thursday blogs.

To show my appreciation, I’m giving away a great prize to one loyal reader!  Like a lot of fans, I ordered the full set of Nick’s collectible Love Life Tragedy singles last summer.  They were finally delivered in December.  Imagine my surprise when, a few days after my original order arrived, a second set of the singles magically (mistakenly) showed up on my doorstep!

I probably could have sold the extra set, but since I didn’t pay for it in the first place, I’ve decided to pay it forward and gift it to someone instead.  I want it to go to a fan who will appreciate it, but I also want to reward a reader who has shown their appreciation for my writing.  If you meet these two criteria, click here to enter for a chance to win!  Entry forms must be submitted by Saturday, January 24.  One lucky winner will be randomly selected and announced on Nick’s birthday, January 28.  The winner will receive all six vinyl singles and comic lyric books described on the GoodTunes website.  Good luck, and thanks again for all your support over the years!

I’m back with my monthly story update!  Chapter 78 of The World Will Be Waiting is up!

Sorry I’ve slowed down so much on this story this year.  Truthfully, I underestimated how much time it would take me to write the twenty-five retrospective blogs I planned for the site’s twenty-fifth anniversary this year or how that would impact my actual fanfic writing.  I thought I would knock most of them out over the summer, but that was not the case, so ever since I went back to work, blogging has really cut into my fiction writing time.  That is clear to me when comparing my word counts for both projects.  I’ve written about 65,000 words on TWWBW this year and about 50,000 words for my Throwback Thursday blogs.  I will be happy to post the last of those later this month and be done with that project, so I can devote more time to writing fiction.  Hopefully next year will be more productive on the story front!  Anyway, thanks for putting up with me.  I appreciate your patience!

Happy November!  It may be dark and cold outside, but I’m about to light up your inbox (if you’ve subscribed to receive update emails, that is).  Chapter 77 of The World Will Be Waiting is up, and the drama’s heating up, too.  Get cozy and enjoy!

Sorry it’s been so long since the last story update, but I’m finally back with Chapter 76 of The World Will Be Waiting!  This chapter has actually been finished for a while, but between busy weekends and wanting to write ahead and make sure things are working out the way I want them go, I needed to wait a few weeks to post it.  Thanks for bearing with me.  I hope you enjoy the new chapter!

Sorry I seem to be on the once-a-month story update plan, but that’s just how it’s been going lately.  This has admittedly not been my most productive summer, from a writing standpoint, although my streak is still going strong at 1,276 days in a row!  I actually had my best day of writing all summer yesterday, which is why I didn’t update on a Saturday like I usually do.  I didn’t want to tear myself away from the chapter I was working on to edit the one I’m posting today.

With that being said, Chapter 74 of The World Will Be Waiting is up!  This is a short and sweet chapter that was originally going to be a lot longer, until I ended up separating it into two chapters when the second half got way too long.  I finished 75 last night and started 76 this morning, so I’m still plugging away.  But now that July is winding down, I’m gonna get busy again in the next few weeks, so I may have to stay on the once-a-month update plan for the foreseeable future.  As always, feedback is motivating and much appreciated, so thank you to everyone who has or will let me know they’re still reading, either here or on AO3 or social media.  I hope you enjoy the new chapter!
