Ms sims?

Hello dear readers, 
          
          I want to let you know that I've been working on Dark Star in the last few months and I'm very close to finishing it. 
          
          ***HOWEVER, I'm not posting it until I've completely finished the story. ***
          
          It will probably take another few months before I'm ready to post because I am only able to dedicate one hour a week to my creative writing. I'm currently in school full time to become a teacher, which includes a practicum, AND I'm working... so it's a very FULL load. 
          
          However, I've learned the hard way that my life is not balanced or healthy when I'm not writing creatively, so I want you to know that Dark Star and my Dreaming series is the #1 priority in my personal creative writing life.

Hello everyone, 
          I've decided to remove some of my works off Wattpad as a (hopefully) temporary measure until we know more about what's going on. This includes the first books in The Dreaming series and my older short stories. 
          
          What with the privacy breach, and now the community kerfuffle, and then all the spam emails I've been receiving, I have lost some of my confidence in Wattpad. I'm not gone though, just waiting until we see what happens. 
          
          I am HAPPY to say that I have left up the last two books in the Dreaming series for readers (aka @CaitlinTureaud and @NcedoKhave and many silent readers) who are working their way through those books right now. 
          
          Also, I'm happy to report that I've been working on the last instalments of Dark Star and have made some good progress. I hope to publish those sometime in the next few months. 
          
          Thank you to everyone who cares about me and my writing. I appreciate all the love and support I've received here over the years. 
          
          I really wish everyone a safe and happy Friday.

I felt like writing about these strange times we're living in and posted a new story called The Days the Earth Stood Still. 
          
          I have no idea where the piece is going or if it will go anywhere. Kind of like our lives right now---it is what it is. We're powerless over this situation but we can find power through story, through exploration, and through surrender to what is.
          
          I hope wherever you are that you're safe and experience joy in simple things in your life. Maybe this piece will give you some joy. That's my hope.

Hi Shalon. Thanks for the follow. 

Wow, thanks for the follow!

Out of curiosity I looked at dates completed on my fav books. Hav I really been following u three years. 

Hi friends, 
          I'm looking for five beta-readers for the second draft of Awaken, the first book in The Dreaming Series. 
          
          If you want to know what a beta-reader is, or how it works, please let me know and I'll explain. 
          
          Awaken has had a MAJOR rewrite, which means it's not the same book you read on Wattpad. The same characters and many of the same scenes, but 50% of the book is new writing. 
          
          Please let me know if you are interested. 
          
          Thanks! 
          Shalon 

Hey readers and friends, 
          I just posted the latest instalment of Dark Star. Liran and Imorah have made it to the Underground Highway, at last! 
          
          Thanks for your patience in receiving this instalment. I took a break from Dark Star to work on my submission for PitchWars, a writing contest. I submitted the second draft of Awaken, which saw some very major revisions. 
          
          I haven't heard anything yet from PitchWars, but I'm excited about the shape that the original Dreaming story is taking. It's still the same story, but a whole new beginning, middle and end! haha!
          
          I hope everyone in the northern hemisphere is braving the fall weather. Myself, I'm prone to the blues this time of year, so hopefully posting Dark Star again will pick up my spirits. 
          
          I hope to post regularly again now until the end of the book. We'll see how it goes. 
          
          Big hugs!

Hi Shalon.. I read the Escape from Weywey and it made me a little bit sad that it's all coming to an end.. I love, love, love your stories! Can't wait to buy the books! You keep going chika.. Please keep us updated if ever you decide to put any new stories on WattPad. Thank you.
