My Time in Amar
Go girl!! YOU accomplish your goals! ^.^
Nickiii, I need to know what went on between these two sections. XDMarius 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?

"Different from the last we saw him." XD
My apologies it turns out that the copy I sent you was missing the ends of a couple sentences do you want me to send you the newly edited version?

Merenwen . . . that has been me for awhile. *chokes on laughter*
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...
9/10/19- 4,233 words. Alexis gets a POV in SoS so this is pretty interesting XDExcerpt...
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.
Awesome!! I really need an Alexis POV!!
Whoo! You're such a fast writer, Nicki! I don't understand it! *glances at the measly first three chapters of a story that NEEDS to be written*
Elizabeth wrote: "Awesome!! I really need an Alexis POV!!"Yusss, I decided Alexis was one of my favorites doing his POV XD

But NaNo is coming up and then everyone can get written *laughs evilly*

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

Are you sure we're not somehow related? Because I 100% relate to what you just said XD
So looking forward to Alexis!! >.< Jumping in here--don't mind me--I was wondering which Faith . . . Faith Potts?? or R.F. Gammon??
If Gammon has books going then she needs to get them published so I can support her!! ^.^ xD
Elizabeth: it’s me. XD and I’m writing as fast as I can and querying now too! So...😬 hopefully someday soon!
Awesome!! So looking forward to this!! I can't wait til' some day soon. ;P xD

Well just knowing bits of her snarky style from her book rants makes me excited! :P xD
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.”
Okay cool I am now Faith of the Gammon. xD
Easton *throws hearts* You just can't be everything. ^.^
R.F. Gammon wrote: "Okay cool I am now Faith of the Gammon. xD"Hello Faith of the Gammon. XD
Also I hate to break it to you but apparently High Hopes is Clint's theme song. Sorry XD
*glares* so now you and Lila are in league against me eh
R.F. Gammon wrote: "*glares* so now you and Lila are in league against me eh"This has nothing to do with Lila XD
Clint chose his own song if you want to blame anyone blame him XD
Fine. Clint, bud...I got a bone to pick with you. XD
Elizabeth wrote: "Easton *throws hearts* You just can't be everything. ^.^"Problem is he thinks he CAN be everything and honestly...
R.F. Gammon wrote: "Fine. Clint, bud...I got a bone to pick with you. XD"Sorry he is on his death bed right now and asks you to return at a later date when there aren't lungs being hacked up XD
*walks in randomly**looks at latest chat*
wHaT dId yOu SaY????!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah, I know what Easton's problem is. He needs to fix it. *scowls*
Easton sounds like someone I'd like XDAmazing excerpt, as always, Nicki.

Don't worry, Clint isn't *actually* dying. He is just being a drama queen XD

Oceane wrote: "Easton sounds like someone I'd like XDAmazing excerpt, as always, Nicki."
Easton seems to be a fan favorite XD
Thank you m'dear ;P
Merie wrote: "hmm"You don't sound entirely convinced XD
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*

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.
