Hello! Beth and I are currently working on another full length story (not POTO, but theater-related!) We're at the point where we split the draft into chapters. I just wanted to ask if you would prefer several short chapters (e.g. one conversation, one turning point, a single beat that's roughly 1,500 - 3,000 words) Or fewer, longer chapters  (e.g. A complete emotional turning point, set-up and pay-off, multiple conversations and scene changes. 4,000 - 7,000 words) We tend to draft in the longer style, but I understand that can be very exhausting to read. Currently, the book is about thirty longer chapters. With the chapters broken up more, I can see it being fifty to sixty chapters. Neither option changes the actual word count, just how it's divided.
          I'd love to hear some input on this, because we genuinely have no idea!! Thank you for the support that you all have continued to give, even with our long hiatus! It mean so much, and we will be back soon!

Hey… sorry in advance but right now I'm writing a fic and for the life of me I can’t think of a name for the orphanage in it… of I was wondering if I could “borrow” the name of the orphanage in a girls desire? thanks 

idk if you remember me, but you read one of my phantom fics once and seemed to like it if u wanna read my new one :)

Guys... A Woman's Devotion hasn't been set to mature despite it being out for like a year. I just fixed it, but major yikes. Very sorry if you got into that without warning.

Y'all, Beth just quit her job so she'd have more time to write. We have big plans for 2025... big plans.

Speaking of Labor Day, 'To outwit an Angel' will be out by November 1st. I promise 'Labor Day' will make sense when you read it lol. We're very sorry for the delay, but this project was much bigger in scope than we anticipated, but I swear this is our best work yet, and we're jumping off the walls excited to finally assign the project a confident publishing date.
          See you then!

Omg I just realized something cool! U joined in May 19th, 2023, and I joined on the exact same date, but just a year earlier.

I am proud to announce that, as of last night, To Outwit an Angel has become a complete first draft! The book exists in some sort of full format!!! Now, it's on to developmental edits, which Samantha and I will leap right into come next week. For now, we're taking a few days of a much-needed break.
          Can't wait to share the adventures of these two wild protagonists with you guys!

Also, I love your theme!!

Okay... hi! We're still alive. Things have been chaotic lately, and To Outwit an Angel is definitely behind schedule. There's been some changes in the day-to-day process of writing it, which has slowed me down. Let's just say there's been some changes in leadership and management regarding the project. (No worries, though, Samantha and I are still good!) On top of that, I'm about to plunge into a really busy season that doesn't end until July. All of this is impacting the draft and might push its release into autumn.
          But I should take responsibility for its slow progress too. I'm working on three books at once right now. All of them will inevitably be posted across the internet, but they're very, VERY long-game projects, so that might not be until next year or the one after that. Basically, I've gone into drafting-hermit mode, and I can't honestly declare that TOA has been given a lot of time in the drafting vortex.
           Outside of writing, I'm also contending with finishing up high school and thinking about college. All of this is a (while important!) time suck.
           I haven't touched TOA in about a week, but I am going to try and get back into it this week. I really hope I can. As far as the draft's quality, sure, it's messy, but there's good stuff in there. It can be polished into something worth publishing. That just might take a while.
          Anyway, thanks for hearing out this really long update. We have exciting things in the future. It's just that, in this busy season, it's going to take longer to bring them to you.
