I'm BACK...Kinda

Hi everyone!

I know it’s been a long time. I didn’t fall off the face of the planet. Neither did my stories. There’s been a lot going on IRL that has been taking up my sanity leaving very little time for me to write. And the writing I have done is for a story that isn’t yet published so that does nothing for you out there. But I’m trying to come back. My schedule sucks this semester at school so there’s a lot of down time during the day where I have no computer so I’m thinking I’ll get back on track. (And as I say this half a dozen new story ideas fly into my head. As if I have time for the ones I’ve started.) I’m gonna TRY but no promises out there. We’ll see how the semester goes. For now I have a new chapter almost ready to post for Second Chances, hopefully tomorrow. 32 Days seems to be another story. I’m gonna try both of them at once, but since 32 has a definite end I’m gonna try to write most of it before I start posting again so it’s not so broken for all of you to read. When promo stuff for the new CD starts and tour dates start popping up, I’d love to blog all that. But that seems like forever from now, so that’s a post for another day. For all of my loyal readers (mwah I love you all) that you so much for hanging on with me. I promise there’s a thorough plan for both stories it’s just a matter of getting it from the brain to the computer. I’ve blabbed to you all enough, I should be thinking and writing chapters not this (I know, I know).

As ALWAYS thanks for reading!

32 Days, Toxie and Other Stuff

Hi everyone! I noticed it's been more then a little while since I wrote over here.

First things first, 32 Days. I know there's been a couple requests for more chapters and I hear ya, I really do. I put off posting about it until I was sure. As of now I'm going on an informal and temporary hiatus. Its not over, I promise, it's just hard for me to channel my inner Cynthia right now. I'm so on top of my other story that it's just not coming to me, and I don't want to lose my flow over there either. I'd rather get back into the swing of things then post a random chapter here and there.

Second, I just wanted to let everyone know that I'm going to see Toxie tomorrow night and I will be (hopefully) twittering from there. I'll see if I can widget it onto this blog if not here's the link if anyone was interested in following. http://twitter.com/jerseygirl873 Yup my life is that exciting that I only have one post.

I actually don't know what the other stuff is. While I'm blogging I can give a heads up that the next SC chapter may be a couple extra days. I've had some stuff going on IRL that's delaying my brain from focusing. No hiatus there, just a little longer then usual...promise. While I'm on SC thanks to everyone who reads, I just saw we're a little over 4,500 views since August! And for all of you who leave comments, I love reading them. And some of them have even caused changes in the story and sub plots. I'm always up for new ideas and theories as you guys think of them.

I think that's enough for now! Thanks for reading :-)

Blogger Problem

I have a new chapter of Second Chances done and ready for posting. Blogger keeps giving me an error I've never got before when I try to copy it in from Word. It'll be up as soon as they fix whatever problem they're having. Anyone else having the same problem?

Five seconds after I post this I tried again and it worked...weird. So I guess this is officially a post that just says Chapter 38 is up lol

New Chapter Up...

I know fiiiiiiiinally a new chapter of "Second Chances" is up. Thanks to everyone for their patience I know it's been a while. It shouldn't be that long before the next chapter so enjoy.

I also wanted to add a new story to my unofficial list of favs. Celtic Cross is a fantastic writer, her first story In it for Love just finished and thats the link to the first chapter, it was wonderful. It's quick moving and the first chapter will leave your mouth open and the second chapter made the first even better. Don't want to say too much. But she just started another new story Hard Times Come Easy which I haven't started becuase I've been reading instead of writing, but I'm sure it's just as good.

Happy Reading!

Real Life...Ugh!

Thank you all for being so very patient with me (on both stories), leave it to real life to interfere with my writing. I promise new stuff is acommin', leave it to spending 3 days at the real Hackensack Hospital (the pediatric ward no less) to get the creative juices reflowing. I just have to let my hand catch up with my brain. Why did I think that it would be easier once I was back in school? lol I promise things are coming :-)

Update

Hi everyone! I just wanted to let everyone know that I am still writing "Second Chances" even though I may be posting in "32 Days" more for a little bit. For now 32 is just coming more naturally so I'm gonna go with it. I'll probably have a SC post in before then but if not things should start to pick back up for Jon and Mel when classes start again. They kept me sane through many classes in the fall and I'm sure they'll do the same again! Keep checking in you never know when something's gonna come to me and I'll come up with a quick chapter. If you want I can let you know if you give me your email when new stuff starts coming. If you don't wanna leave it here you can e-mail me jerseygirl873@yahoo.com

Another Fan Fic

I was greeted this morning with a new chapter of Light a Candle...Warm A Heart and then I realized that I didn't have the link on my page. It's a rare David treat. Check it out if you have a minute, I'm loving every minute of it. Bayaderra also has a shorter story Jersey Daydream featuring Jon. Just had to add those in there :-)
