Ah, it's always good to see stuff I've already read as the featured story! Kudos to Julie because I absolutely adore BMS ... I get all hyped up when there's an update, and I have never been let down! So, to put in my two cents I just need to say well done, keep up the good work, and all that jazz! :)
I enjoyed your survey answers too!

WIth all the excitement going on with BSB I am forgetting to be a good Oprah, i'm sorry about that Julie lol
Here's another question for both stories
What has been your favorite chapter/scene to write in each story so far? And what has been the most challenging part of the stories for you?

Nooo problem, I've been the same way! I had planned on updating BMS and writing more yesterday, and that didn't happen for the same reason LOL.
Hm, favorite scene or chapter... for Broken, I'm gonna cheat a little and say Chapters 117-118. 118 is the "King Kong" chapter... which I have always really liked; it was very satisfying to write LOL. But 117 leads into it, and I almost like that chapter better.
Most challenging part for Broken, definitely 106 or one of those chapters after it... the choppage stuff. I think 112 was where I hit a wall and started going "Okay, why the hell did I do that?" and took some prodding to get going again LOL. I remember that chapter being challenging to get going on, but once I did, it was okay. 106 was a lot of me staring at the computer screen and writing like two sentences every day for a few days, until I finally got going on it... it ended up taking me like a week to write, which was a long time then.
For BMS, it's hard to pick a favorite chapter because there are so many chapters and a few that I really like, and a few that I'm probably forgetting I like LOL. But I think my favorite chapter recently has been 182. It just felt like a classic "Nick and Claire" chapter, not necessarily in a couple-y way ('cause they're not a couple), but it fit every aspect of the kind of friendship/relationship they have with each other.
Actually, I found another one I almost forgot about - Chapter 35. I love that one too.
Biggest challenge... from the emotional standpoint, I think 148 because it deals with an issue that I feel pretty strongly about; there were times when I was even reduced to tears just trying to research for it, so I knew writing it was going to be challenging in that respect. Just from the writing standpoint, I remember I got so stuck on Chapter 41 because it was the first time I brought Nick's family back into it since Broken, and becuase they HADN'T been in the story in so long, I found it really hard to kind of explain their total absence in Nick's life LOL. It was just a mess.
