Thanks to those of you who have blown up my phone lately (including fellow author and reader @hrb264) The Grove has reached 23K reads in 2023! I'm grateful for the questions that this fellow nature person asks, prompting me to tweak this oldie but goodie story that is probably my favorite child (shh, don't tell my other stories I said that). I'm also dedicating chapters and revamping the ending from feedback on that as well so if you'd like a fresh surprise for Corsia, read on this summer...
          	And be sure to check out Sangre De Toro, @hrb264 's vivid account of heroes working to save a bull from the monsters who pay to play in those bloody fights. Well done!

Hi, Christy! Hope all is well there for you! ❤️❤️❤️ I’m not quite back yet from rotating COVID, also more files to transfer before the end of the month, big time, and no time to fix my profile inboxes w WP help yet either, but I wonder if I could flag The Crevasse our humour paranormal, character intro we just began posting (*elsewhere*) for our crazy bad guy, Custer (you’ll remember) from the Otherborn series, for your ❤️❤️❤️ (** just like the other character intros it’ll be three free 5K episodes long, if you have the time for that read.) The link is at the bottom of the first episode @knightsofdystopia when you want it. And I’ll be back to the Grove in Oct. Not even a little surprised that’s taken off!! You’re a wildflower genius! ☄️✨⚔️❤️✊ All is well here (nothing insurmountable to report anyway ;) Hope you’re the same! ⛹️‍♀️✍️

@talkingflowers Whoops! I tried to post this in comments on “the Grove“ but Wattpad is so glitchy these days and it went away… So here it is if you’re in a good place to give it some love! Finally the main story that follows Otherborn: Earth’s Crust Survival has its own Wattpad only storyline now:

@talkingflowers And I’ve just realized I can cut and paste from either email into the book for your Interview thoughts on any answers. I just can’t reply or it will send repeating messages at you, over and over. I have to use this space to correspond for the moment, until I’ve got Help to fix it. :)

@talkingflowers Actually, Christy, you could if you like, email the questions & answers to anything you choose for now from the book description or first chapter or anything made up even that seems like a question that would go with your answers, whenever your leisurely muse strikes you—no rush—to musesworn AT gmail or else drop only the Qs into the bottom comments on the first chapter and I’ll make up an interview page, where you can plonk your answers to each paragraph heading  in comments and I’ll transfer them into the actual text, as soon as I can. ~ Big furry hugs and bundles of carrots to you! WT ☺️✨☘️❤️

Happy November! Who else is writing a NaNoWriMo project? Does it count if most of my first 2K words are all notes to self?

Voyageavecmoi

@talkingflowers Nice, as long as it's all helping in the long run it's worth it. Sometimes stories spiral out of control or you write yourself into a corner during Nano so planning's important. What genre of story are you writing?
            
            Last week it was going great and I was getting lots done, but I've been busy at work writing report cards and caught a nasty cold that I've been fighting with all week, so it's been harder to hit the daily goals each day. I've still reached 18k today and crossing my fingers that I can keep the pace going till the end of the month.

@Voyageavecmoi The first week has gone well although as mentioned I spend a whole lot of time note taking: world building, researching and outlining, so I'm counting more time spent than words. I'm at just under 5 k so far and that's okay for this project. I think it's going to be a novella...
            How is your project going?

@talkingflowers I'm expecting to fall behind these first two weeks. That'd be great. I still need another 500 words tonight and it feels like the scene keeps dragging on. How's it going for you?

          @JosleDemuth for the riveting trailer, enjoy! https://fieldandstudio.com/hotpressed/
          
          @Voyageavecmoi  and @WezleyBrookz for the awesome support and reviews. This story came to life on Wattpad and I'll forever be grateful for the encouragement, reads, votes and stars for Star.
