R.F. Gammon wrote: "AHHHHH!!! I’m so excited for this, I neeeeeeds it with all my heart. I want Dante to liiiive. XD"Honestly I have gotten super excited for this too! I've come up with a lot of new developments and now this story has really taken shape in my mind. *chuckles nervously* Dante seems to be a crowd favorite...
*screams my head off* My stomach is hurting with insane anxiety.... *chews on fingernails*
Some things that will be in this story...I said insanity is catching in the first book, now it's time to watch it spread like a wildfire
The Alice in Wonderland themes are going to be much more prevalent in this story
The Queen of Hearts gets a POV- it's not who you think
The faeries are back and just as twisted as before
The circus is back and will be in it much more
Some characters from My Time in Amar will be in this story, but I can't say any more because... spoilers!
Arg!! Super hyped.... and nervous... please Nicki!! Just don't kill us all in the reading of this one...
AHHH, I cannot wait, Nicki! Ever since reading A Certain Sort of Madness I couldn't help wondering what was going to happen next! I'm like SUPER HYPED RIGHT NOW, YAY!!!!!!!!! XD

1/15/18- 201 words.Here's a snippet:
I lost so much that day. Dante, my mother, Amar. My insanity.
Without the other worlds I went to, I was no more different than anyone else. I no longer had a friend living in my head, he was trapped in the Unrealm.

Er... define "hurt" do you mean physically? Or emotionally? Mentally? Psychologically?

Oh, uh here. *hands out duct tape* For your heart?
Okay, so death is off the table... *smiles maliciously*

1/27/19- 365Since, Dante seems to be such a crowd pleaser I'll put up another snippet about him ;P
Enjoy!
...or perhaps I should call him by his preferred name, Dante Carlos Alessandro Moretti III. The Huntsman, my grandfather’s puppet. The boy who was in the wrong place at the wrong time his entire life.
My first kiss.
My first love.
Dante was so many things, but what he wasn’t was who I thought he was.
DUCK TAPE!!? DUCK TAPE, REALLY!!?? That's all you got for your apology? Arg!!Also yeah... no fun times after what you did to Dante.
NICKI!! *screeches* THIS IS KILLING ME!!

*Psst* I'm with Elizabeth on this one Nicki. How can you a good time after what you have done to Dante! *sobs*
Seriously though that snippet is so good that it shattered my heart in a million pieces, thanks for that. Not sure if duck tape is going to help. Lol
Thank you. *sniffles* Maybe we could get a petition together? ( xD )
Elizabeth wrote: "Thank you. *sniffles* Maybe we could get a petition together? ( xD )"*Wipes tears from eyes* Yes, we definitely should.
Hmmmm.... what should it say? DON'T KILL DANGE OR HARM HIM EMOTIONALLY, PHYSICALLY, MENTALLY, OR SPIRITUALLY IN ANY WAY OR WE WILL stop reading your books? Ehhhh.... sounds bad for us, not for Nicki.

Ummm.... hehehe, nah, even if Nicki did hurt Dante, I couldn't stop reading her books! I have to know what happens even if it is a bitter end! XD

Oh. My. You went on like a writing storm or something!! >.< How long did it take you??
Well, it's my project for Camp NaNo I'm going to see if I can't get it written this month.Oh about three hours each day I would say ;P
Okay, xD Sounds reasonable enough. ;)
SHINE wrote: "WOW! THAT’S AWESOME!"Thanks! :D
Elizabeth wrote: "Okay, xD Sounds reasonable enough. ;)"Yes, extremely reasonable. I'm only trying to write 90k+ words in a month. Oh and somehow magically finish A Time of Trepidation in that time as well. Very reasonable indeed.
*giggles* You have a way of making everything seem impossible even though you get it done anyways. ^.^
Elizabeth wrote: "*giggles* You have a way of making everything seem impossible even though you get it done anyways. ^.^"Lol, well I appreciate your confidence, but I really do think it's impossible. Because for some reason that's how I work? I set impossible goals, scramble to meet them and then even if I don't reach them I still get a tone done XD I'm proper weird.
I didn't get to say this before because I had to get ready for work, but I'm to chapter six now. Dante is back in the picture. His first word in this book is... *drum roll please*"Olivia."
Also the Red Queen had her first POV *grins maliciously*
SHINE wrote: "I love MADNESS AUTHORS AND WRITERS!"*grins*
You know, that makes sense in a messed up sorta way??! xD But seriously I'm dying for more of Dante!! Dying!! 😭😭 So this is good news . . . But why "Olivia"?! His first word should have been . . . Ahem . . *coughs* "Alicia" .. ... .....

In a weird me sort of way ;P
Hehe... well that's spoilers. Though, I have told my sister that in this book Dante and Alicia never get back together and that he and Olivia both end up because they are fed up with crazy and want to be with someone sane for once. Alicia and Eugene then go off to be proper crazy together. Now whether that really happens or I was just pulling her leg remains to be seen...
Hey but that's kinda normal for you. xD Hmmm . . . you know I'm not gonna ask you any more questions. *rolls eyes* I can't wait for this Nicki . . . .
4/3/19- 3,144 words. I've reached 10k words!Here's an excerpt...
“Crazy dream,” I mutter scratching my cheek.
Dante pauses in his sketching and glances at me. His eyes soften and for a second I think I see the Dante from the Faerie Court. “Oh, you think you’re dreaming? That’s somewhat ironic. Everyone does seem to keep thinking that I’m only a dream.”
I don’t have anything to say to that. Because now I’m suddenly doubting myself.
“Pinch yourself,” he says, a dark smile pulling at his lips. “You’re gonna find that you can’t wake up.”
4/4/19- 3,005 words.Here's an excerpt...
His brow furrows as I lead him down the stairs and to the back end of the house. “And where are you taking me?”
“To where the magic happens,” I reply, and I can’t help but feel the thrill that courses through my veins when I say that. The cool breeze plays across the bare skin on my arms causing goose flesh. Or maybe it’s just my next words that do that. “I never told you the full story of what happened last year.”
SHINE wrote: "This is perfect!"Thanks! I'm glad that you like it :D
Elizabeth wrote: "Akkk!!! *grins like a dork*"Pretty much the same way I feel writing it XD
Ooohhhhhhhhhhhh. I just can't!! 😍😭😵😲😬😂😂😂💞💞💞*squeals*
4/5/19- 2,639 words.A snippet from the Red Queen's perspective. Everything about her is shrouded in spoilers so I'll keep it brief
"If my courtiers could know how I cry every night from loneliness, they would not fear me at all.
Or perhaps they should fear me more. Because maybe there is nothing more frightening than a lonely, unpredictable queen who doesn’t know how to rule. Whose bright idea was it to put me on the throne anyway?
We all know that I’m just going to make a bloody mess of things."
Reminds me of Ismena . . . and we all know how that ended up.
*burst in all a sudden* Huh? Did you say Red Queen? What?
Elizabeth wrote: "Reminds me of Ismena . . . and we all know how that ended up."Hopefully this does not end the same way because NONE of us will like that...
