Aw, thank you so much! I’m sorry I didn’t answer this sooner. I need to keep regularly checking my messages. But I really appreciate your nice note.
Thank you all for being so awesome, even though this has taken me an eternity. I was just saying to another reader how much I appreciate all the kind words and the support. I’m working on pulling myself together, and as soon as I can, I’ll get back on track. I’m really thankful that through my writing I’ve crossed paths with some really awesome people. <3
As for DSLO, that’s coming along slowly but surely, and I want to try writing several chapters before I start posting again, because I don’t want this to keep happening. I also have that other project I was referring to before that I’ll be writing at least ten chapters of before I start to post it. There are some similar themes to this one as far as DSLO is concerned, so I hope you guys like it whenever I get it posted. I do promise to finish DSLO, though! I just don’t want to sacrifice quality in the name of quick completion.
Thank you, though, for sticking with me. <3

The woes of writing
I recently got out of the hospital after the world tried to kill me. I’m not 100%, but I’m feeling a lot better than I did. Even though I had an IV, they stuck me no less than 20 times during my stay for one reason or another, and I feel kind of drained still. I have so much stuff to do still, and my writing has really fallen behind. I was supposed to start some film projects this summer. I’m hoping we can truly begin by the 20th, but we’ll see. I still need certain supplies and help from various people. At any rate, I’m stressed because of it, and I wish I could just take a break for a while and work on my fiction.

Dark Skies was giving me a bit of hell recently. Chapter five is more or less written, but editing is a bitch, and there’s so much I have to clean up, especially in the second half. Because of that, I’ve been putting it off, but I really do want to get it up and running again. I had a few breakthroughs yesterday that may help. In the meantime, I’m doing my best not to get distracted by Gutter, or this other fic idea that I have. I feel awful because I’m doing exactly what I said I wouldn’t, and that’s making everyone wait for months between updates. I know now that I need to have many chapters written before I start releasing them, but it’s too late with Dark Skies. It’s already out there, and I don’t want people to wait a year or more for me to write several chapters.

Anyway, that’s just my little update. So sorry it’s taking me so long. I’m gonna try to have the rough draft of six written soon, in hopes of moving things along. I’m still feeling kind of sick, so I’m not going out tomorrow. That means I might actually get some writing done. Fingers crossed?
Dark Skies Looming Over: Chapter Four
Okay, so this is the last chapter before I have to finish editing. That means Chapter 5 might take a little while to get here. I hope not. After this, the updates should be about once a month, maybe a little sooner if I’m able. I’m trying to write up some buffer since this summer is going to be so crazy busy.
Also, please note that this chapter is very violent. I’ve warned about violence from the start, but I want to remind you of that, just in case.
Thank you so much for all of the support and encouragement so far! I’m so grateful to have such awesome readers. Hope you like the latest chapter.

Writing, writing…
The really annoying thing about posting a fic so many different places is that when you make a mistake or have to adjust some things, you have to do it everywhere and in different ways. Two of the places I post have rules on content, so I edit those versions and can’t just copy and paste my new version. Plus some allow html, which is how I write the chapters, and others have a weird sort of-html type system, or RTF which I hate, especially with one site that forces you to use it and always causes problems. Super annoying.
Anyway, enough about that. I just felt like complaining. So I still have to post chapters three and four of Dark Skies. I just want to pace them out a little, because the future updates won’t be coming that quickly. I’m trying to stick to a once a month at least update schedule, and I hope that isn’t too much of a pause. One of my friends suggested to me that the story would be easier to read if it were a book and not something being submitted by chapter. Actually, a few people have said that, and I know it’s true, so I hope putting up summaries will help in the future. I never intended for this to be such a slow boil, but here we are.
Thank you to those who have read, reblogged, and faved the story so far! I really appreciate it, and I hope you continue to enjoy it. It’s interesting to me where people fall on the opinion scale; for some, the next two chapters are where the real fun begins, but I know some people are still waiting for that moment of clarity. Hoping I can deliver soon.
But how are you guys doing?
Dark Skies Looming Over: Chapter One
Okay, this is my first attempt to post a chapter for my ongoing fic, Dark Skies Looming Over. This is an original fic with a male/male pairing. It’s supernatural and quite violent, so read at your own risk.
Side note: I don’t know how this site works, and it’s not very user friendly so far! I love hearing from readers, but it seems like the only way to do that is through the link on the right side of my page that says “Send me a message or question!” Click that, and then you can send me any message you’d like. Thank you!
