I tend to check the forums most everyday but I don't post updates much unless someone asks. There are some who have sent email feedback and have continued with asking for feedback and I have at times given them a preview whether it's an early or partial draft or my submitted form. So if anyone really wants they can ask at
[email protected] I am pretty good at responding if it isn't in my junk folder and is clear you are asking about one of the stories.
As far as an update to where the next stories, part 7 and 8 have been mostly written for a few weeks now. I had held off submitting and actually added a small bit to part 7 last night that I think helps with what is going on in the first half of part 9 that I have written. Parts 7 and 8 are pretty intense compared to the others so far. Emma’s experience with Miss Keys sets a new tone between them and some other twists involved.
I will review part 7 again, likely today and submit it today or the next few days. I will hold off on part 8 for a bit longer though I don't plan to make any more changes other than a few rereads to catch any errors that i missed from my earlier ones. But I am not looking to pressure Teann or anyone else as there seems to be a lot of stories that came in which is a positive for the site. More stories for us to read. That also means I can't give an estimate when it would hit the site either.
As far as how much and how long it takes to write stories for me varies. I am a flawed individual with plenty of issues starting with my health both physical and mental. All my joints are pretty much toast. Last April I had joint replacement and fusion surgery in my left hand, which was the better of my two hands in terms of damage. I have a new surgeon, who is pushing for surgery on my right hand next month. He is moving slower in breaking up what is done which could mean multiple surgeries if I choose to keep going with more. So in that way it takes me more time than an average person to even type this out basically one finger at a time. So I imagine I will slow down more while I recover from that.
That is just one aspect of my slowness. Time, well I probably have more than most. I write so slowly due to physical limitations my mind tends to be so far ahead and distracted that it slows me down quite often. But these are just my own sob personal issues to deal with. I am not a professional writer nor very good at it. I am still new and learning on top of it. So I do this for fun and to try and give back for the many stories I have read to give my own take on a genre that I am heavily interested in.
But thank you for responding. It is nice to hear interest and reminds me of how terrible I have been for years not offering kind words for many of the stories I have truly enjoyed. Though I have been trying to change that lately.
