Just in case you missed it, I posted chapter 56 of Carolina Wren yesterday.
          
          Medically Speaking should be next, but I keep have to start over again. I tried writing TMoS, just to shake things up a bit, and I ended up having to start that one over again, too, lmao. So, Imposter Syndrome is alive and thriving but I'm working on it. Hopefully the wait isn't as long this time.

Stayed up way too late doing it, but the first round of editing is done for the next chapter of Carolina Wren. I'm so ready to get it posted. This is the last of the chapters that I started during NaNoWriMo. I'm hoping that I'll get it done in the next few days, but I've already had to make notes for things that need to change during the next edit.
          
          There's a few things in this chapter that I'm not convinced are coming up for the first time. The problem is that they're not easily searchable, I can't even begin to imagine where they would have come up so I can't follow my guide posts like I usually do, and I haven't been able to reread this fic without getting massively sidetracked in over a year. Sometimes I feel like my readers know my fic better than I do because I have hundreds of possible paths the storyline could have taken living in my head and sometimes I forget which ones I took, lmao.
          
          So we're just going to pretend that this is new for all of us. Please, lmao. I may cry if someone points out that it already came to light in chapter 36.
          
          I just checked. It does not show up in 36, haha.
          
          Thank you for being patient while I'm dealing with health and family crap. I really do appreciate it and all of you have been amazing.

Hello, I just wanted to stop over and say that I just finished reading what you had of  Carolina Wren and I absolutely love it and can’t wait to get more chapters! Do you have an idea of when that would be?

I hope you update medically speaking soon!! I'm starved honestly... Waiting and praying!!!!

Hope everything is well and that ur trip went great! Can't WAIT for t g e next update on any of ur stories!

In case you missed it, I posted chapter 12 of The Magic of Shadows last night. It has Owen being adorable and a couple of the Toma boys leading the charge on the Why Choose question. I do still think the second half is awkward but I also wrote it so I’ve read it half a million times and also, that last edit was a miracle. It used to be worse lmao.
          
          I’m over halfway through the next Carolina Wren chapter. I’m hoping that I can finish it and edit it before I leave next week, but that may be asking for another miracle a little too quickly. She does get a little snappy with them again, but they did ask for it, so there’s that.
          
          I know what most of you really want to know is the timeline for Medically Speaking and there isn’t one. I’ve officially run out of NaNo material so I’m going to be starting from zero words. I probably won’t start it until after we get back from the wedding.
          
          I hope everyone is enjoying the TMoS chapter and that you all have a great week!

I finished the first round of editing for the 12th chapter of The Magic of Shadows. I love and despise the chapter in equal measure because the second half is cringy. Sweet... but cringy. I tried fixing it. I really did, but it's just awkward by nature and I don't think there's much I can do about it, lmao. If this was traditional publishing, I'd probably come back and write this chapter later but with Wattpad, I have to post chronologically. 
          
          I feel obligated to add that the awkwardness of it is not what delayed me finishing it. I've been stressed about things happening in my life and I'm not really the type to write as a way to escape my stress in the moment. It was pretty unexpected on my end, so I had no way to prepare for it, which is why I didn't switch to Carolina Wren when I was struggling to finish this chapter. Although I did reread what I have of the next CW chapter and I honestly love it. Very excited to get back to it.
          
          A bit of housekeeping: I'll be off Wattpad for the last week of February for my brother's wedding. We have wedding stuff going on every day that we're there, so I'm going to be too busy to keep an eye on my comments and messages. I'll get back to everyone as soon as I can, but I may miss things. If you have questions, it's probably better to message me because I lose comments when I'm getting notifications for other things. I usually keep a close eye on things, but I'm also not usually in the mountains for a week. With my luck, that's when things would go off the rails.

Any idea when you going to release another of medically speaking?

I forgot to update here yesterday, but I finished the first round of editing on chapter 11 of the Magic of Shadows. I'm working on the second round now and I'm hoping that will be done by tomorrow evening at the latest.
          
          It was supposed to be done by Christmas but traveling, the holidays, being sick, and some snags in editing got in the way. Part of that included rewatching The Princess Bride for about the millionth time, but this time taking notes and I couldn't do that while we were around family, so it had to wait, haha.
          
          On that note, if the Princess Bride is on your watch list, you may not want to read chapter 11 until you've done it because there's some spoilers. If you want to call them that since the movie came out in 1987. Regardless, while it's not super detailed, there are some plot points that get mentioned, so keep that in mind.
