My MerMay2024 story is reaching the main point of the prompt; I've used 2 of my required words so far. Only one left and I'm hoping I can bring it up in the chapter I'm currently writing. Need stuff to happen!

Happy Friday!
          
          I've only have a week before my trip. I'm really trying to get this mermaid story written and finished before I leave. I might be able to work on it while I'm away, but spending time with my cousin.
          
          Also, fun announcement: I finally fixed whatever was "wrong" with my Stripe account and I'm setting up my membership tiers on Inkitt. I'm not quite ready to make them public. I want to make sure the stories I intend to share are 75% written so that I have something to show off. I don't want people to get nothing for their money, ya know.
          
          The story/series that I intend to make exclusive: The Book of Zatari (the realm hinted at in Thalassa's Stolen Voice). More info coming this summer!

@ricardosalarich, thank you. I think it is worth pursuit. 
            
            If it doesn't work out for me, I do have other avenues I'm going to try (Kindle Vella)

@AuthorESElias, congrats on Inkitt. I've been thinking about setting up a tier for exclusive content, too.

Wattpad has officially removed user-to-user private messaging. 
          
          I have found a private messaging solution. Substack, which is what I use to send my newsletters and new blog post alerts, also has a private DM/chat system. To all my writer/reader friends who wish to message me privately, you can do so at this link:  https://thewrimoblog.substack.com/p/stay-in-touch
          
          You do need an account with Substack to send messages, but it is FR33 and simple to use, and a great alternative means of communication. Not everyone is comfortable giving out personal information, even with Carrds or Links pages.
          
          Looking out for my friends ♥

First part/chapter has been posted to my #MerMay2024 fantasy story, THALASSA'S STOLEN VOICE!!
          
          A brief look at Thalassa's routine as the body-double of a royal. It's short, but the story has to start somewhere!

It's been a long day, but I have made a lot of progress in my #MerMay2024 story. I'm not aiming for "long" chapters, but I am making this a chapter story. Additionally, because its Saturday, I did spend most of today writing a few blog posts for #TheWriMoBlog - 
          
          See you tomorrow, I hope!
