A little delay for the greatest of holidays, Halloween, and it was back to writing. I was on a bit of a deadline after all, the girls decided what they wanted to be Friday... with me out of town on Saturday, that left me 48 hours to get seven costumes done.
          	
          	No worries. I did what what only Mama Mimm and her fixations could and got it done.
          	
          	And we won first place of course ;) 
          	
          	To celebrate the win and the closing of the holiday, I've posted the edited first chapter of Into the Night. Maybe not huge changes for those who know the story, some refinement sure, but more like... some more focus. Mmmm, that's not the right word either, y'all can let me know I guess. 
          	
          	On to Chapter 2!
          	
          	...I promise, this won't take 10 years to post.

I really wish I didn't need as much sleep as I do these days, because when I'm on a roll I want to type for hours. Just let the words flow and fill the page...but stupid needs of a broken body...
          
          Biology be damned! Let the muse speak!

Editing before diving back into writing a whole new story was the right idea... and I know where I am going with this, what needed fixing... but putting myself back in that same place as I was almost a decade ago is rather hard. 
          
             So, what do we do to coerce the muse back?
          
             We log into our Pandora account, fire up our old "writing playlist", and let the vibes flow back. 
          
             Maybe watching some movies from that era might help too... but truthfully, if  I have time to watch a movie, then I have time to type. And right now, that sounds like the best way to spend my spare time.

I'm not dead, I promise. I know I've disappointed a lot of y'all (and probably lost too)  but life... life got in the way. I posted specifics in a (long overdue) update on Mimm's World, but I'm trying to find my way back to you, and my characters, and my muse. The sad part is as I sit in front of this blinking cursor again, is, well, I'm scared. Can I still do this? Can I still life and thought and feeling to these characters that have lived in my mind so long? I hope so, and I hope you'll still be there on this journey with me.
          
          As always, hugs and love, Mimm

@Jeenabelle, you're still here! ❤️ I promise, I did not mean to leave anything unfinished. I actually had the last three chapters of Into the Night almost completely worked out when I decided I needed to go back and make some edits. The way I wanted it to end... the way I wanted it to keep going, some small changes needed to be made. I'm back to editing it, finding whatever moments in the day (or night), and not only making the changes, but, well, bringing it into this decade, lol. I've got to get Kyra's story finished first. She needs her book to be complete before I see who else still wants their story told. Starting with edits seems the right way to go, dip my toes back into this before a jump in... I can't wait to jump in, really, and I'm so happy you're here with me ❤️

I’ve missed you dearly! I’ve been hoping, waiting for you to come back even if you’re not officially writing yet. I’m glad you’re still around and kicking even if it’s not official writing. I was honestly a little sad when your stories ended on a cliffhanger. You’re stories got me through a lot in my life even, so even if you’re not officially back yet I’m glad that you took the time to reach out and give an update on your life. Thank you! For literally everything. I know I’m not your only fan who’s been waiting just to hear from you again.

Hi, there...
          I've just finished reading your "Young" story and I have to say that I loved it. It has everything; great suspanse, love, drama, supernatural... Yeah, everything that I love. So... The obvious question is: will there be a second book?
          I surely hope so!

lol. well it sounds like life and your living it large or should i say busy. nothing wrong with that. actually i'd share the load with you if i could, sounds a hell of alot more interesting than mine right now. so i guess I'll do it vicariously. just like to make sure my favorite authors are doing ok when they go quiet.
