One More Before the New Year

Sorry for breaking the updating streak yesterday, but I’ve been trying to only post when I finish a chapter so I can stay a few ahead of myself.  I finished another Sick as My Secrets chapter last night, so that means I can post another one.  Chapter 30 is up!

This is my last update of 2015, so I hope everyone has a great night ringing in 2016!  And to those of you in other parts of the world who have already celebrated, Happy New Year!

Sick as My Secrets

Well, lookie here, updates two days in a row!  It’s amazing how productive I can be when I’m on break and Mother Nature’s given me a good excuse not to go anywhere.  I finally finished a chapter of Sick as My Secrets, so now I feel like I can post one, too.  Chapter 28 is up, and there will be more where this one came from later this week.  You have my word!

If…

If only I would have finished this story by Christmas, that would have been swell, but close enough, I guess.  If…, my one-shot companion piece to Curtain Call, is now posted in its entirety on this site and Absolute Chaos. Enjoy!

My next goal is to work on Sick as My Secrets, so stay tuned… hopefully I’ll be updating that one soon!

Merry Christmas!

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!
