An angel recently told me that Wattpad is updating some guidelines  to make the age of consent with characters 18+, so I went in and quickly added in the first chapter that Aspen and Rylie are 18. I feel like it’s kind of awkward how I added it and might not make sense where I added it, but i figured it was better to be safe and just add something for now to make sure the story doesn’t get flagged or anything. if any of y’all have suggestions for a better way for me to go about it, let me know haha

I need some input…: ) without giving away any spoilers… hypothetically, say i have something in progress that has to do with That North Carolina Summer (the first book) and a different point of view for a specific section of the book. is this something y’all would be interested in reading? if so, do you think I should add it onto book one in additional chapters, or do you think it would be better to have it as it’s own story, specifically for if i happen to write specific chapters in different points of view? hypothetically, of course:)

@Lezbyterian 1.5 is a really good idea! i’m considering doing a few of these POV sections, but i agree, i don’t think they’ll be very long. but who knows haha because this one is already at 8,000 words and it’s maybe halfway done, so maybe it’ll turn into a novella type thing haha

@Loiosh hahah trust me, i wish it was that POV! although that one will definitely be one i consider for the future:D

@silasiousthethird you make a very good point, thank you!:) I agree, separate will probably be better especially considering there could be several of these in the future and i don’t want to make tncs longer than it already is haha

I am so sorry I haven’t updated in a while, I have had a lot going on and have been traveling quite a bit and haven’t had much time/energy to write. I do have a new chapter that I will try to get published asap, but I apologize for the wait so far! I hope everyone is doing well <3

NerdingAlong

Okay guys I am so excited at the moment and needed to share lol
          First off, I got my all time favorite picture two days ago, and I am pretty sure I’m gonna use it as the new cover for Book 2!! (When Summer Ends). I’m at Myrtle Beach (south carolina, unfortunately not north carolina haha) for the week with some of my cousins. There’s a Ferris Wheel right near our hotel which is why I chose this hotel lol. Anyway, two nights ago it’s lights were purple (my favorite color) and there was a storm near us as well so I started taking videos/pictures in hopes of capturing my dream picture, and I did!! I got a picture of the ferris wheel with a lighting strike right beside it and i am IN LOVE with it! I cannot wait to show y’all, I’ll add it as the next chapters cover picture:)
          
          Second, I started working on a little side project that I am super excited for. I don’t want to spoil it, but it has to do with That North Carolina Summer, and I think you guys will really enjoy reading it once I’m done!:) 
          
          I’ll try and get the next chapter for ANCA typed up asap because i’ve got a few ready, but it’s difficult because i’m spending a lot of time in the water boogie boarding and whatnot lol. anyway, i hope y’all are having a great week! much love! <3

@NerdingAlong WAIT- MYRTLE BEACH? THAT'S WHERE MAGIC MIKE XXL IS SET AIN'T NO WAY
            I know that because a book referenced magic mike and I didn't know what it was so I searched it up.

Heyyy I was just wondering what camera you use to take those beautiful pictures for the books?

NerdingAlong

Hii:) I mainly use my canon rebel t7i with the 50mm lens! i’ve also used just my phone for some, and a couple other lenses on my camera like the 24-70mm or 18-55mm depending on what i’m taking pictures of:)

Does anyone know how to fix the issue of DM's sending over and over? I don't know how I broke my messages, but I'm annoying myself with my messages sending the same thing over and over lol

NerdingAlong

@Loiosh Its so bad lol I don't know what to do and it's sending so many, over and over lol

I’ve tried posting this three times now so I’m praying it works this time lol
          
          Question for y’all, what do you consider “rushing things” in a gxg book? For example, the first time they meet, obviously initial attraction is alright, but is it too soon for one girl to start thinking about how jealous she is of the other girls boyfriend? or how she’s already feeling the need to distance herself to stop the feelings from developing? 
          
          I just don’t want so much of a slow burn in this new book, but I’m also worried I’m rushing things in how the main girl is feeling haha. any input is appreciated!

Spotims

I think as long as you were to just..not make the one jealous absolutely in love with her instantly then it’s alright. Jealousy is a nice touch, because it heightens the initial attraction one has for the other. You got this boomer.

@NerdingAlong I love when there's jealousy.it makes it more interesting

I_Am_Me-_-

I wouldn’t mind reading a faster paced book. The jealousy is ok too , she likes the girl enough to be jealous so it just shows us how much she likes her

NerdingAlong

Serious question for y’all that I would love your thoughts on if you don’t mind haha
          
          Hypothetically, what if Aspen and Rylie kept the new dog instead of giving it to Aspens mom...? Hypothetically, of course... but if you could choose, what would you choose? hehehe: )

stupidssam

@NerdingAlong yeah I get that but imagine if it’s a girl and then Harvey and the other puppy have puppies and aspen and Rylie have to like decide whether to keep the puppies and just puppies and puppies yk bc puppies but I feel like it would give a domestic like family vibe for a few chapters with like tiny disagreements and them kind of learning a little bit of what parenting is like yk

Give the dog to mom and give Harvey kitty friends ;-)

@NerdingAlong Aspen and Riley should just keep the new dog
