Thank you for 1k reads on 'Flight Risk'! I appreciate all your reads and fantastic comments. The story is getting added to more and more reading lists which is fun to see. I've uploaded a new chapter as promised -- more wedding drama-- and am working on next week's which will close up the wedding section so we can move on to the big road trip. 
          	
          	Have a wonderful weekend everyone :) 
          	
          	(I'm still way behind with catching up with the wonderful stories I've been reading and haven't forgotten about you all. I'll be catching up as I can)

Looking to discover some new books and win some prizes while reading? We're running the 'Gems Reading Fest' over at @FlexibleBookExchange for books our club members have enjoyed and recommended to spread some love with authors on the platform. 
          
          It's running now and into early May (with the possibility of it being extended into June) and you can win reads and comments on your story (if you're a writer) and a shout-out for the first-place winner for one of their stories. Plus you get to read fantastic books! 
          
          I've had the pleasure of checking out 7 of the 14 featured books and enjoyed them all. Anyone can participate, including people from outside the book club, and we'd love to see you there!

Finally have an update for one of my stories! More of the wedding scenes in 'Flight Risk'. 
          
          For anyone reading 'Forget It', I will be continuing the story but not for the ONC. Since early April I've been trying to fit the plot into the novella word count, but even with the chapters I wrote it it felt too rushed and I've already had the disappointing rushed novella ONC experience (with this same story idea--you'd think I'd have learned it's not meant to be a novella by now XD) and would rather tell the story the way it should be told as a novel and not worry about condensing it. Hoping to return to updating it in May. Thanks for all your support.
          
          I will be slowly catching up with replying to your wonderful comments and reading the fantastic stories I've begun soon. April has been a busy month. Take care ❤️

@rhymeswithfry Yeah, I bit off more than I could chew storywise XD. Aw, thanks! Looking forward to catching up with your entry soon :) 
            
            I spent an entire day researching for a few paragraphs of one chapter (and I still have no idea if I know what I'm talking about), so I think in order for it to be the story I want it to be, I need to take it at a slow pace to do it justice.

@Voyageavecmoi yeah, same. I would like to finish it, but yeah, will not be by April 30th :D

@voyageavecmoi I was wondering how you were gonna fit the plot into a novella. You’ve built such an immersive world and interesting characters that I can’t wait to see how the rest of the story unfolds!

'Forget It' made it through round 2 of the ONC! Congratulations everyone, whether you made it through or not, you've turned your ideas into a great piece of writing, and I wish all of you who are in the same boat as me with a significant portion of their novella left to write all the best to reach the finish line. 
          
          Thank you for all your kind words of encouragement and support along the way. It's truly heartwarming ❤️
          
          I haven't made a ton of progress offline and want to write ahead a bit before posting the next chapters so I can make adjustments as needed. New chapters will likely come toward the end of the month. I'll have an update for 'Flight Risk' this month too, but it'll be light on updates until May. It may also take me a while to get back to the wonderful stories I've been reading. Thanks for understanding! I'm going to do my best to finish this novella.

@hrb264 I feel very much in this boat right now. I've cleared the 20k but it's wrapping up the story that'll be tough. Good luck with your writing.

@bigfivedonaldduckfan Thanks AJ! I got through a section I really had to research this weekend, but am struggling to motivate myself to get the writing done. Let's hope the rest of the week goes a bit better. Thanks :)

Happy International Asexuality Day! 
          
          Thank you to all the wonderful ace or ally authors out there sharing the ace experience in their stories. My journey toward accepting and understanding my asexuality began reading and writing ace characters' experiences here, and I'll always be grateful for that.
          
          A big thank you to the @TripleACommunity for the work you're doing featuring stories featuring aromantic and asexual characters and spreading awareness. I highly recommend checking out their reading lists as you'll find fantastic stories there.  
          
          On a closing note, I just wanted to add love looks different for everyone. It can be having someone navigate your hardest days with you and fully support your recovery. It can be exploring new places together. It may be a tender embrace, a hand squeeze, or a shared enamoured smile. It can be romantic or platonic, and it's all valid and wonderful. I hope my fellow aces feel that today and carry that feeling for the rest of the year :)

@eleanorkennedy14 Same to you ❤️
            
            @MarCafeWrites I had forgotten it was April, but the TripleACommunity and a few others shared it. There's also an ace/aro awareness week in late October. It is :) I feel like growing up it was never explained properly and if it was mentioned it was used as the punchline to jokes which was disheartening. Visibility is getting much better ❤️ 
            
            @bigfivedonaldduckfan It was April 6th technically since I caught it at the end of my timezone. Thanks, same to you! Yes to all of that :) ❤️

@Voyageavecmoi  I didn't realise this was today either! Happy International Asexuality Day! Such a great message here ♡ May we have (even) more ace rep and acceptance in the future ^^

@Voyageavecmoi I didn't realize there was a day for this. But April is Autism Acceptance month, so I guess the timing makes sense. Thanks for such an uplifting message. It's nice to be thought of in a positive light for a change! ❤️

Forget It has a double update today! After the pitches are all wrapped up, Selene gets an emotional surprise, and Arch shows Selene his version of how he stole her idea. 
          
          This wasn't initially the direction I wanted to take with this chapter, but after plotting out the rest of the story, I realized the confession needs to come into play now so we're ready for what comes next with Inno-Tech's greedy and unsavoury plans. 
          
           If you haven't submitted already, today's the deadline for round 2 submissions. Good luck everyone! There are such wonderful entries and I'm looking forward to getting caught up with my reading soon.

Chapter 17 of 'Flight Risk' is up. Audrey finally chats with her ex at the wedding. 
          
          This is the second update this week, and probably the last one as I hope to have a chapter of 'Forget It' up this week too and I'm losing steam on these edits. Thanks for your continued support on both projects. I'm enjoying sharing them with you :)

@nikszabo Aw, thank you for your support :)
