Nicki Chapelway | 2171 comments Now that I have finished this draft of ToT I'm picking SoS back up. My goal for SoS is to try to write 1,500 words a day. I guess we will see if I keep it XD

8/8/19- 1,592 words.

Excerpt...

Of course, trying to sword fight in this heavy dress will probably be the death of me. Actually, just sword fighting in general will be the death of me.

Merenwen Inglorion | 389 comments Nickiii, I need to know what went on between these two sections. XD

Marius turns slowly, a smile taking over his features when he sees me. He doesn’t look
I don’t think that’s fair considering that I feel like I’ve changed a lot. And not just appearance-wise.


He doesn't look...what? At Bobby? Good? Bad? Different from the day they first met him?

Nicki Chapelway | 2171 comments I have been remiss in updating this thread, but I have been working on SoS! A few updates; ToT is actually published *flails forever* and yes you are now able to get a paperback copy that isn't 900 dollars: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1539550931/...

If you want more on my plans for this series and story-world as a whole you can check here: https://nickichapelwayauthor.blogspot...

And also I am now over 21k words in SoS. I'm actually trying to write the whole book before November so... we will see how this goes.

Also, SoS, has an official synopsis now! You can find that here: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...

Okay that's all I have for now as far as updates go. But if you want to stalk my book you can find my mood board for this story here, I add stuff to it pretty much every day: https://www.pinterest.com/nickichapel...

Nicki Chapelway | 2171 comments 9/10/19- 4,233 words. Alexis gets a POV in SoS so this is pretty interesting XD

Excerpt...

I grimace which is why I don’t notice Margareta step toward her until she is resting her hand on my own. I jolt back my eyes widening in shock. When was the last time I even had human contact?
Her hand was warm, so warm and I almost miss it when it is gone.
Cold, cold, still cold flesh. You could do that now. Do that now.

I will admit that most days it is my competitive drive that keeps me going more than any sort of feelings of obligation to finish this story ;P

Once NaNo rolls around, I will either post more because of procrastination or less because I'm actually being a good gal I guess we shall see which it ends up being XD

Elizabeth Dragina | 1745 comments So looking forward to Alexis!! >.<

If Gammon has books going then she needs to get them published so I can support her!! ^.^ xD

message 79: by Oceane (new)

Oceane McAllister (therealqueenofnarnia) | 592 comments I think you should be called Faith of the Gammon from here on out XD. What a lovely title!

Also, Nicki, that could be true. The related thing makes for a better story, though ;)

Here's an excerpt...

His eyebrows are furrowed causing a deep indentation to form on his forehead. “How come you guys keep saying I’m the stupid one?”
Bobby chuckles and pats his shoulder and I grab the bread and take a big bite to avoid answering. We start down the hall and Easton trails after us still looking confused. “I don’t understand. I get the best grades out of all of us.”
“Sure, Easton,” Bobby says with a wave of her hand. “When it comes to differential equations you are definitely the smart one. Problem is, you have so much rare sense that you are lacking in the common department.”

Elizabeth Dragina | 1745 comments I know Easton needs to fix everything. If it weren't for the Dragon I'd probably want him to return to earth so he'd stop sacrificing himself. *huffs*
