          	Guys, I think this one's a winner. No, really! I swear I will not touch it again. Much. I really mean it this time. Maybe.
          	
          	Annnnyway, I decided to remove the faux indentations. They are a PAIN to implement and, I don't know, plenty of other stories on Wattpad don't have them. It looks a little neater now, I think. 
          	What can I say? I thought I was being cool (  ╥_╥)
          	
          	On the other hand, my backup docs will most definitely use indents. Propper, built-in indents. Oh, it looks so nice...

Guess who's been reworking older chapters again? This fool ;P
          
          Anyway, I've been doing some work on chapter one, and I'm feeling pretty satisfied (for the foreseeable future) with my new tweaks and additions. So, I thought I'd pop this announcement here to let anyone know that there's probably a "few" things you don't quite remember reading the first time. Depending on how long ago you read them, that it ^^; 
          
          So, if ur interested, I hope you have fun with the new stuff, 'cause I sure did :D
          
          Well, have a good day or night everyone, I'm off to bed.
          See ya!

I think i just had a Disney Princess Moment.
          A little bird flew into my room, flitted around for a bit until it eventually found its way out again.
          It flew right over my head a few times too!
          It was awesome

Just did a big renumbering of the chapters in good ol' FBFB. No more "two prt.-ers" and teeny-tiny chapters. I think the shortest one is about 5 minutes to read? Everything else sits between 9ish and 20-something minutes. I think 10-15 minutes is a pretty good goal for me to meet. 
          Just so there's no confusion, what was going to be Chapter 19 is now   (that's Chapter 18, if the bold font came up funky-looking on your device).

Annnd the em dashes (these long bois —) have now been implemented! No more multi-purpose hyphens from now on.

Another update on the numbering of the chapters: 
            
            I've combined chapters that were previously 4 and 5 to make a new Chapter 5: Up A Creek Without A Paddle (I went with that name because it still makes me chuckle at myself), and have had to renumber them all again. Twice! 
            
            Now, the newest chapter in the works will be numbered 16 instead of 18. Hopefully I never have to do this again because it is getting tedious and the thought of Wattpad not registering the changes for whatever reason is giving me palpitations.

yep, the bold font definitely came up funky; it didn't even show up. 
            
            Oh well, I'll keep that in mind for next time.

I just had a dream last night/ this morning. 
          
          There was this young actor guy from a tv show Ive been watching latterly, and in this dream I'm an actor too. In the show our characters fall in love by the finale, and it seemed we had fallen in love in real life as well. 
          
          We're on a school bus going home from either filming or school, and he invites me to sit next to him when the bus stops to pick up some younger kids from a primary school. I lean on him because I feel tired. But, suddenly, as the kids are piling onto the bus, I realise I'd left my school bag - and swimming bag, for some reason - under the seat I was previously siting at. I go to pack it all up but it takes me an embarrassingly long time. 
          
          I go back to sit with the actor dude, and look out the opposite window to see the same guy in the middle of a passing field doing... something idk, but I think it was cute and endearing because I smiled fondly at him (the version of him out the window, he's still next to me. Perhaps that was supposed to be like a memory, but dreams rarely ever make complete sense so you knows?). 
          
               Anyway, I turn away from the window and the actor dude next to me says awkwardly, "So, could we, like, be a thing?"
          
               And I say wistfully, "Sadly... no." 
          
          And the dream ended. Right. There.
          
          
          I don't even have a celebrity crush on this guy (or anyone, really) but damn when I tell you I felt kinda heartbroken for a few minutes this morning when I woke up, I'm not even kidding. 
          
          Man, this dream both provided excellent story material (feel free to use this as a prompt or something, I don't mind. That would be kinda cool actually! ) and totally sucked at the same time.
          
          Anyway, just thought someone out there should know about this besides me. Because damn this dream was cinematic.

Heading off to find a waterfall down the road. Wish me luck that I don't get bitten by a snake or a spider or mauled by a feral pig... I have a stick and a dad with me so I should be fine. I'll share my adventure when I get back in a few hours :)

AudreyTheStargazer

@AudreyTheStargazer I didn't find the waterfalls :(. But! I'm fairly sure we were close. 
            I got a bit too close, as a matter of fact. I foolishly and predictably dropped me phone in the creek and jumped in after it. Well, not "jumped", more like quickly stepped into knee deep water. Still, got a good rush of adrenaline and the water was really nice and refreshing :).
            
            Surprisingly, the phone still works! No waterproof case, not even an expensive phone like a Samsung or an Apple but once it dried off in my dad's pocket, good as new! 
            I wasn't going to be that fussed if it turned out it was broken, but I'm kind of relieved since I've got some good photos on here. 
            
            Oh, and we saw some boar tracks on the way back but I don't know how fresh they were. I was a little worried the sound of the water in my boots that sounded like pig grunts would attract them, but that didn't happen so... That's good. 
            I'll put some pictures up in a new story of the creek.

Ahahaha! I did it! I published chapter 15!
          
          ...
          
          ...
          
          ...I really need to stop saying I'll be done soon, I end up jinxing myself and I suddenly hit a roadblock in the chapter. XD
          
          I was about to say that the next chapter is almost done as well, since I do have the next 3 chapters planned out almost completely, but you know what I said, if I announce that, I'll jinx it. :p
          
          Hopefully won't take a month to post this time, in any case.
          
          I Hope you all have a good day/ afternoon/ night!
