'A New Lease on Life' has just crossed 50,000 words. I'm a novice writer, hell I'd say I'm not even that to be perfectly honest, this is my first attempt at real writing.

50,000 words is a lot to me, and 14 chapters. Honestly I was just going to write a few chapters that were stroke scenes, but that's not how it turned out and now I'm writing an actual story.

It's coming along, but slower than I'd like. The characters just aren't cooperating like I want them to. It might take me a while to finish unlike 11, 12 and 13. Then afterwards I've drawn a blank, but then again the end of 14 might tell me where the story will go next.

I've been wanting a chapter with all the Asgard we've seen so far, Eir, Mundi, Freya, Thor and of course Loki. Perhaps throw in one or two more for a decent amount.

Speaking of characters, I'm having a hard time keeping them straight and up to date, I have another word doc with not even bare bones info on each character and such. I could really use some help finding a template for a word doc or excel sheet or even a database. I was thinking of world anvil but not sure if that would work well enough.

On the personal side of things, I think I've been catfished but not sure yet, so it's caused me to go into a depressive funk that doesn't quite help writing. Maybe I need that for chapter 14 or 15. But now it just sucks, thinking I've found some one online who contacted me first, turns out to just be a catfishing joke.

Hey I got chapters 12 and 13 in the pipe ready to be published for the next 2 Mondays. They are self edited so please be kind. Published chapter 11 today, kinda missed yesterday so hopefully the next 2 weeks will be great reading.

So I've got chapter 11 ready to be launched at 8am on Tuesday August the 30th (today). A day late and a all, but decided to edit this one myself. So if any one is interested in editing PM me please.

Ok so, I messaged my old editor and waiting on them to answer back in a positive or negative manner. That means it'll take a while before I can start pumping out chapters again. So far I have chapters 11 and 12 done in first draft status and I just started chapter 13. I myself am surprised at how easy it is coming to me again. I hope everyone who reads it will be happy to have read it, I know I can't please everyone and there will be haters and trolls.

I ask when you read it, send me your thoughts on it. Comment and vote for it. it can only serve to make me a better writer.
