This isn't really a deep dark confession but I didn't know where else to post it. I am SO happy to see such a  variety on AC's most recent page. For the longest time it was all romance, drama! But yesterday 10 of the stories on the most recent page were things other than romance, drama! Sure, there was still romance and drama but blended with other things like action, suspense, sci-fi and comedy. This is the first time in years that I'm reading more than one story and the stories I'm reading are being frequently updated and not once every few months if we're lucky.

It almost feels like the old days, although I don't want to jinx us all! LOL

ME TOO!!!  I am having a tough time staying caught up with all the awesome stories being written right now!  This is a good problem to have.  I just wish you all could have gotten on a roll in June instead of August! LOL

I know! I am SO mad at myself because the idea had been in my head for over a month before I actually thought, "Hey maybe I'll write this thing!" lmao

Just knowing there's so much out there is nice. I mean there's a lot of stories I have started and know maybe I won't finish reading because they are turning into things I wouldn't like, but the fact that there ARE stories I am actually clicking on to read in the first place is pretty awesome!

Yep, let's hope! At least to me, if I have a lot to read, it's a push and inspiration to write.

Weird it doesn't work that way for me, I wish it did. I love reading first thing in the morning and It's been nice going to AC and almost always find a new chapter to read. Although not this morning lol Yet, anyway.

What time is it there right now? I think you're maybe 6 hours ahead? It's almost 10 am here.

Ooh BINGO! I love the whole time difference thing. I think it's so odd and neat all at the same time! It's really the little things that keep me entertained! LOL

I like the time difference better in the summer when I have no schedule.  When when it's the middle of the night here and everyone is asleep and I'm bored, I think, "Ooh, the Europeans will be up soon!" LOL

Reading does inspire me to write, but it also distracts me, and when I'm short on time, it becomes a dilemma - do I use that time to catch up on my reading and not write, or do I use that time to try to write?  It's hard to find the time for both.
