For those that have written, thank you. Your feedback is always appreciated (even if not used).
And no, I have not stopped adding to the story. I just updated Chapter 31, and am actually writing Chapter 35 as I post this. CBCG II is not on hold, just slowing a tad as I work on editing my older story.
Which by the way now has 18 chapters cleaned up. And if anybody has read those, they should see that nothing major has changed. Maybe an extra paragraph or two here and there, but nothing critical that would require it be read again.
But it is by far my longest story, and it is something that simply needed to be done. Additionally because I have been out of work for months since this COVID started, and am considering trying to monetize what has always been a hobby for me. And I am not about to start doing that in the sorry shape it is in now.
But I am not "selling out", I will always post my stories here for free. CBCG, Night of Madness, those will never be hidden behind a pay wall here or elsewhere. Although I may start to offer chapters somewhere else before posting them here.
And no, not like another one that got people hooked into his story for years, then slammed everything shut behind a pay door, and has not written anything in here for over 2 years. I will always write first for myself, then for my fans who enjoy these scriblings that I put down. But mostly, I write to get these stories out of my head, and hopefully let others discover them.
And yes, CBCG II is indeed a complete story, if only in my head at this time. My mind tends to race far ahead of what I can actually type. To give an idea how far, I already was working out scenes that I am only now writing well over 2 years ago. Many things do indeed pop up later as I am writing them, but the basic outline was actually already complete in my head way back in January 2018.
Before Holly even started dating Keith, I knew who Pete was going to end up with. And I need to revise an earlier prediction. I know when I started Book II I said it would be a shorter story, maybe half as long. But now I think it may well be just as long as part 1. But in less than 4 months I have pumped out over 31 chapters, so this should take nowhere near as long to complete.
And if anybody can help me find something appropriate for "cover art", I would appreciate it. I found an image that I love, but since I can not find who created it I am not going to just steal it. Having had my works stolen before, I am not about to do that. But if somebody knows of a Creative Commons image that is similar it would be appreciated.

I actually think this is a perfect image. And it just screams out to the romantic in me looking at it. Plus it does not give away who it is. Pete and... ??????
