*Tri's Updates*
Tri:
I just posted the first chapter of my prequel! It's the first story chronologicall y in the series. I'm hoping to be able to write more often soon! :D
Sakabelle:
Yay! I've been waiting for this :D
Rose:
Now, I'm just curious here, it may sound harsh (if it does, I blame the fact I'm sick right now) but I gotta know. I did click on the link on the most recent list. Then clicked the series, and saw the series spanned for 6 stories. I know I'm not a romance expert, but how does one romance span 6 stories? Without seeming overdone or repeatitive or something.

Well, let me just start off with something we've all heard before... "Don't judge a book by its cover!" lol. I mean, it's kind of tough when you haven't read my work and you're just making assumptions... To be honest, it's not really a major romance series... The first story definitely was, but it's more focused on family and friends and how the main couple's relationship is affected by the people around them. It's not a huge drama, either. I base it more on every day life (or how MY every day life is) because I'm not a huge fan of crazy drama. Sure, bad things happen just like in real life, but it's not like there's cheating and lots of dying and all that kind of thing... I'm generally a happy and optimistic person and I'll be the first to admit that my sunny outlook shines through in my writing. I know it's not for everyone, but it makes me happy and my readers seem to enjoy it!
Also, as much as I hate to admit this... It's been easy for me to stick with this series because I've been so busy since I got my first teaching job this past fall. It's been simple to stick with the same familiar characters and all of that. Am I attached by now? Oh yeah. Do I have time to create new characters right now? Not exactly. I really write just for fun and I haven't even written much more than a short prologue for almost a month now... My career takes up a lot of time, so right now I do what I want. Like I said, it makes me happy and I think that it's important for writers to enjoy their own work and not just write to please others.
Now, I don't know you and I hope you don't think I'M being too harsh here, but I'm just being honest with you. I haven't read any of your work and I'm assuming from what you said that you're not into romances, but I respect that. Believe me, I hardly read anyone's work on AC. I get sick of the cliche romances and all of that just as much as the next person. If I have one person that enjoys what I write, that's great. If not, oh well... At least I'm doing what I enjoy. I hope you're doing the same! :)
Thanks for asking, Rose! I hope I answered your question.

I'm glad to hear that! I'm hoping that I'll be able to get back into writing. I've been so blah about it lately since I've been so busy with work. :)
