Hi, everyone,
This week my story Two Diaries got its 10000 read. It may be a pretty arbitrary threshold, but I'm still happy about it. I started posting this in January, so it's about 2500 hits per month, though of course the audience has been growing and isn't exactly linear.
I want to thank everyone who sent me comments or feedback. It's been helpful and very encouraging. Even--or perhaps especially--when it's critical. There are things I've realised about my characters because readers pointed them out.
My hope is that I'll be able to continue posting weekly, but I'm not sure. I'm still working on chapter 18 today and I don't know if I'll finish it in time. I may have to go to a fortnightly schedule for a bit. This is a tricky part of the story and not as closely plotted as some of what came before or will happen in the future, and it takes me longer to get it written to a standard I'm happy with.
Anyway, I hope people are having fun with our domineering Fiona, and her adorable little Mandy. I sure am.
