I'm back!!! Sort of. My writing pace has slowed considerably, so I don't know how often I'll post, but for now, you get a chapter. And it's a pretty long one, too. Hope you enjoy. I missed y'all.

I took it down because I was querying agents with it, and I didn’t want them to see the low reads count it had in case they decided to look me up.
            
            I haven’t updated Hope Dying because I haven’t written any more of it yet. I’m applying to a PhD program in Film Studies, so I’ve been focused on putting my application packet together, which includes writing a 20 page critical essay + a personal statement and a statement of purpose. So I’ve been pretty busy focusing on that. Maybe I’ll get back to Hope once I submit my application.
            
            Sorry for not posting in a long time, and thanks for reaching out : )

Y'all – I've been really distracted lately with numerous things, like helping critiquing other friends' work and now, PitchWars. I tried to write this morning, but came up empty. It might be a while before I post an update to HOPE DYING. I'm sorry, but thanks for hanging around.

Hi to all who have stuck around, stuck with me through my crazy writer's block. I appreciate all of you very much for reading. Seriously. Anytime I see the read count go up, I'm not thinking, "Yay, I'm getting more popular!" I'm thinking about how wonderful it is to have people even reading my book.
          
          So, yeah, I just posted 2 more chapters to HOPE DYING. I hope these chapters give you some feels. Thanks again for sticking with me.

          P.S. Even though it's not finished yet, I'm entering HOPE DYING into the Wattys. Wish me luck!

So...I thought I had posted a chapter a few weeks ago, but apparently I only saved it as a draft.  So I just posted it, AND a new chapter along with it. Wow – 2 chapters in one day! Aren't you proud of me? Lol. Hope you enjoy reading!

Hi y'all!!! I am so sorry I haven't posted in so long – I've been crazy  busy with family visiting and working with my critique group, so I haven't written hardly at all. But I did get a little bit in, so I was able to post a new chapter of HOPE DYING!!! Woohoo!!! Lol. Anyway, I hope you enjoy reading it. Kind of a weird word – enjoy – to use for this book, right?
