Part 36, it's all coming together nicely, another chapter with zero drama, so hopefully no tears for the people who get a little annoyed that I make them cry.

It's a nice chapter, no tears this time, I promise :)

The story is coming together now, which is both good and bad. I'll miss living Poppy's life, but I have other stories on the horizon.

Hey, I've managed to take a couple of afternoons off work this week, so I've put together Part 34 of Poppy's story.

Ok, sorry it's slow progress towards the end, but I've just uploaded chapter 33.
I've written about 50% of chapter 34 this afternoon, so hopefully I'll get it uploaded in a few days.
Due to another plot element cropping up as I was writing chapter 34 I think the whole story as a bit more life in it, so I'm pushing it from 35 to possibly 40 chapters, maybe 300k words in total. But who knows, definitely not me, this story has a life of its own.
Thanks for sticking with me so far, I hope you think it's worth the effort, because I'm having a ball with these characters...

Hi

Firstly, thank you so, so much for all the wonderful feedback I've had for this story. It's been a rollercoaster writing about Poppy's life, she's taking me places I've never been before, and it's very emotional writing her story.

I've added three more chapters, I hope you enjoy them.

I should explain that the bulk of this story was written during lockdown when I was mostly working from home, so I had plenty of time to think and write.
Now though I'm back in the office full time, so progress has slowed somewhat I'm afraid.
I'm trying to be disciplined and write as much as I can, because I'm as keen as you are to see where this story goes.

Thanks for sticking with me on this epic journey.
Alan
