Imagine I'm awkwardly scuffling my toe in the dirt...
Ok, so... I didn't want to have to do this. I mean, I like you... and it's not you. No, really! I swear, it's not you, really it's me! But, there's... there's something I have to tell you...
I have taken audience requests and I'm working on Kayla again. I'm two chapters in (prequels to LAB, so completely new) but I'm not ready to show them off yet. I'm like a virgin who want's to show off but is afraid to lose her "little girl" charm.
Honestly, I think I fucked the dog with releasing LAB too fast. (Really, sometimes it's like popping your cherry with this stuff.) I released it too fast and had to pull things back, rework them, re-release them... not fair to you, dear readers.
So, I'm going to get five new chaps in, then start releasing Kayla on a weekly basis. This is done to ensure I give them best product that matches my story arch.
The best I can give you is a little teaser, with apologies to Linkin Park and a quiver of fear for the SOPA. (For the love of all you hold dear, write your Representative in favor of killing this bill.)
"When you were standing in the wake of devastation
when you were waiting on the edge of the unknown
with the cataclysm raining down, insides crying save me now
you were there and possibly alone"
-Linkin Park "Iridescence"
Sounds like there's a story in there... One girl at the edge of devastation following the end of the world and how she finds her life, love, and redemption. Let's find it.
Cheers readers!
Yes, I'm still alive. Yes, school is over. And yes, I will begin writing again!
Ok, so I realize that I left two stories incomplete when I left for school, Kayla's Flight and Fangs and Wings. Kayla's Flight is getting a reboot and is what I will be focusing my efforts on in the weeks to come. Fangs and Wings will follow shortly after. Dirty little secret: I have no idea how that one will end... it's why I've stopped writing it for the time being.
Other dirty little secrets: not writing for SOL while in school had some positive outcomes. I was able to focus on my professional writing and managed to score the top paper in my class. I was also apparently a super badass mofo because I took home a couple of trophies for badassdom. So, hooray, school's over and I kicked it's ass and now I can get back to the kind of writing I love!
So, if you feel strongly that I should work on Fangs and Wings before Kayla's Flight, shoot me an email, I'm willing to work for the people who read my stuff!
Cheers,
PuffDragon
Title says it all... just a few more months and I'm free again!
Readers,
Thank you all for sticking with me over the last year and a half. Your emails are truly what kept the story going. After all of the edits were made I sent LAB up for a contest which means with any luck it might end up in print one day!
That being said, as I was making the last edits hubby said to me "you know, with a couple of tweaks 'Kayla's Flight' could totally be a sequel.
Mind. Blow.
...So...
I'll be leaving it up as an "Original Version" with a note at the beginning about the up dates but expect to see some changes to that soon. The general plot line will remain intact but the background details will shift to match the world of LAB.
