I have good news, and I have - well, it may sound like bad news, but I think it's also good news.
First, the good news. I have just reposted the first 15 chapters of It Started With Christmas, with a few minor typos fixed, and with a few minor details added here and there. No big changes, though.
Secondly, the good / bad news. The story It Started With Christmas will end with Chapter 16, which will be posted on Sunday. As I said, that might seem like bad news. But it isn't, really. Because while this story is ending, the narrative of Alex and Jessica and Katelyn still has a long way to go.
So why am I ending the story? Well, I've learned some things about my writing style as I've done this, and also about my readers (altogether reasonable) expectations around how long a story sits between updates. And so, rather than posting a chapter here and there as I go, I am going to end this one, and start a new story in this saga. It will be about the same length as ISWC, and I will start posting it once I have it mostly finished.
So you'll have to wait a while, but more will come. And once more starts coming, you'll be guaranteed that it will get to a stopping point before I stop posting.
This decision also allows me to skip a few weeks here and there, during which not much will happen, and pick up the narrative at the next significant development.
(And no, I won't be doing that with my other ongoing story, The Bitch. It will go on as it has been, for a while at least, with chapters updated as often as I can get them written.)
Thanks for reading, and for your notes of feedback and encouragement!
