The new chapter 14 of Forever Wild is now posted! Enjoy!

Hey guys!
          
          Chapter 14 of the revised Forever Wild will be down by the end of this week, possibly sooner. So keep an eye out and hope you enjoy it!

Welcome to 2024 everyone,
            I am currently revising Forever Wild and the first updated thirteen chapters are currently posted. This is a completely revised plot with familiar and new characters,  and I am excited to finish this novel not only for all of you to enjoy, but to also post in the next Watty Awards.
           I hope everyone is having a wonderful start to their new year and happy reading for those who read and writing for those who write!
                                                                                                                                 --Tolina R.

It has certainly been a while since I posted last but I want to assure everyone I am still writing. Once I finish rewriting and revising Forever Wild, I will post sample chapters on here and publish it through Amazon. All of this should be put into action by the summer. With classes and work and independent studying for editing,  my writing time is limited but I have not given up. Thank you all for your continued support in reading my books and please feel free to reach out anytime and let me know how you're enjoying them and any possible constructive criticism there is to be had.
          
          God Bless and I hope everyone is having a great week where you are in the world!

Hey guys!
          
          Welcome to the new year! I have a question for those who have gone through the following. I have enough chapters to post for my rewritten version of Forever Wild. I am trying to decide if I should replace the original version with the newer version or post this revised edition since it introduces new characters and plots as a separate book. Thoughts?
          
          I hope everyone is having a great start to the new year! Also, what are some of your goals for the new year?

Hey everyone, hope everyone is having a great day!
          
          I just wanted to update everyone: Chapter 12 is almost done. I'm thinking 17-20 chapters for Forever Wild, so we're ALMOST THERE!
          Stay tuned for more updates.
          
          Stay safe and God Bless!

Good morning/afternoon/evening/night everyone!
          
          Life update: This has been a busy, busy summer with working and finishing one more class and now graduating, having landed a job and saving up for all those next steps in life. 
          I am happy to be on the other side of the school doors for once, for those of you who may still be in college, it doesn't feel scary when you get out, it's like any other day in your life, you just get to add a job and a new bill or two to the mix. So stay strong out there, because you are more than capable of doing so, but also don't be afraid to ask for help if you ever need it.
          
          Writing update: I have finished chapter 11 of the new version of Forever Wild and will begin chapter 12 shortly. I am following an outline and trying my best to stick to a set schedule but work hours and energy levels tend to be what they are  a lot of the time now. Still, a writer must write! I am following a completed and much improved outline for this book, it's just finding time to write, really. 
          
          Question of the week: What tips/tricks do you use to make time to write?

Hey guys, 
          This is a short update announcement. Chapter 11 of the new version of Forever Wild is coming along and I'm looking forward to being able to add it the others I've written. It feels great almost being one chapter closer to the end of this journey and the beginning of another!
          
          I pray everyone is staying safe and God Bless!

Hi everyone, 
          I know I have been MIA for a while on here, but now that I'm nearing my new graduation date (August) and only have to take a short history class this summer, I believe I can finally begin following and sticking to my writing schedule in earnest now. 
          
          I just want to let you guys know where I am at with my new version of Forever Wild (the original, completed draft is available on here), I am planning on waiting to upload the new draft until it is fully completed and then I will be submitting that one to the next Watty Contest. In the meantime,  I ask  that for those of you who have, to still hang in there, I have not quit, just taken a break. But now, I will be back in business and be keeping everyone posted on my progress so you will know when to expect this new version to be released. 
          
          I have to say, the plot has grown and new characters will be introduced. This will be the first book in a seven book series, spanning centuries and with different characters and stories of their own in the future. 
          
          Stay safe in this covid-craziness and God Bless!

Hey guys,
          
          I know I said I would have the new version of Forever Wild completed and posted by the end of January, but it's been a strange month getting back into the flow of schoolwork and mentally preparing to graduate. I will do my best to have at it done before I graduate in May. However, right now, my focus needs to be on school and staying on top of all of my reading assignments. Thank you for your patience and I hope you are all having a safe week.
          
          God Bless!
