Story Update IWOAK I'm over halfway finished with chapter thirty, I hit my stride a few days ago, hit a rough snag transition wise but I'm feeling good about being able to post first week of August. I'm feeling fairly confident about this opening although I'm worried that what I'm aiming for might not come across as clearly as I want it too but we shall see. CHOICES AJ's voice is killing me. I'll probably post some of the rejected material on here since it's not bad, per se, but something about it feels off. FALL  FOR YOUR TYPE First chapter has been drafted, plot has been figured out and I have a rough idea for the summary [which I will post on here later]. I'm not going to start typing it out until I'm closer to the end for IWOAK since I don't want to get distracted by the shiny. --- During one of my long absences [one of the six months ones] I got frustrated with my inability to actually write the chapter I was supposed too...

Hey you guys, I want to thank you for your patience and kind words, the funeral was last Saturday and it was harder than I expected considering he had been sick since last summer and he was just getting worse. Since I doubt the latest chapter will up anytime as soon as you'd like and for Choices the first person is killing me I figured I'd give you a look at one of my 'babies', lol. My 'babies' are stories that I came up with when I was younger and I still adore or I doubt have the skill to actually write. This is the opening of my first ever straight romance from a  possible series called StarCrossed. I started it when I was 17/18 but didn't have the skill to put it where I wanted it to go. It took me forever to get this opening chapter and it's still no where as good as it could be.  Hope you enjoy and I am working on IWOAK30,  I was actually writing it when I decided to take a break and do a progress report thingle.

Due to a recent loss in the family and drama that has popped up recently I won't be able to update IWOAK by the end of this month/beginning of July. I'm hoping the shit storm will pass relatively soon and I can get the next chapter out mid-July.

It Was Only A Kiss Stalled. I have about 500 words written but it doesn't feel right for an opening. I don't know if I should jump a head a few days and give her a chance to gain control or go right into her confrontation with her parents and even that is iffy since her dynamic with her parents makes her reactions feel iffy. I'm going to try and write a different scene and then come back to the opening and hopefully by then I'll have figured out what's wrong and won't have to do another 10k scrapping session before it comes out right. Choices Second part of AJ's POV is coming along nicely. I considered doing it in chronological order but honestly I'm pretty much writing his parts as they come to me and since it's a series of one-shots/his memories each scene is strong enough to stand on its own if you've read the main story (I think). When it's finished I'll post it on here first and see what you guys think. Fall For Your Type M...

IWOAK 28 quotata: I'm glad you enjoyed it and we'll be learning more about her brother and that situation. [I know you were logged in but apparently review replies go to your PM now and yours is disabled]. Sera: Glad you liked the chapter! And the Labyrinth themed room was a lot of fun for me to write even if I do have to tone it down when I edit it, lol. A lot of people forgot about Anita and the blackmail thing. I'm glad you liked the chapter :) Grumpirah: I think a lot of people would like them to be dealt with, lol, no promises on my part since although I have the rest of the story plotted out I haven't really placed them into it. Well Carmen a bit, but not Anita. I'll definitely try and fix that but no promises. And Vince had his reasons as did AJ even though it's up to you whether you think they were justified.  We will be seeing more of Jared and get to see some of his thoughts on the matter. Thanks for the review :) gp: yeah, Anita gets no lo...

So, this chapter is hell. HELL. I have written over 10 000 words and had to scrap all of it because it was shit. None of the characters sounded like themselves, it felt stiff, it was boring and just ugh. It's one of the most emotional scenes in the story and it's just not coming out properly. I think the problem is that I have nothing to draw from to write it. I mean, I know she feels betrayed and hurt and angry, but how would she react? Once I figure that out I think I can finally get it to actually work and flow like her.  I have managed to rewrite about 3 000 words but a little over 2 000 are most likely going to get scrapped because 1. it still doesn't have the oomph I need and the voice is off and 2.it's backstory that is necessary for the story but not for the readers. So to make up for my lack of presence I'm going to put it up on here. If I don't finish the current chapter by the end of this month I'm aiming to post another one of AJ's POV...
