Sorry for the long absence (I’ve been busy getting ready to move and all that) but I’m back with great news! First off, you may or may not have noticed that my project Are You Sure You Want to Quit?  is officially a member of the Quill collection (YAY!), which means you’ll all be getting a copy! If you haven’t yet, order a copy now (do it) :) I decided to end the campaign early and join Quill, which means the production phase will be commencing! I’ll be working my tail off till I finish that manuscript because I know some of you are dying to find out what happens next :) Once I know the timeline I’ll be sure to keep ya’ll updated on my progress.

Lastly, I want to individually thank specific people who’ve helped me along the way, especially during that intense Nerdist contest. I want to thank my fellow lady author friends Amanda Orneck, Elayna Mae Darcy, A.C. Weston, Kendra Namednil, Regina McMenomy, Jaye Milius, and C. Brennecke for being so kind to me as a newbie to the Inkshares community and encouraging me to keep fighting throughout the contest. I gained so much confidence as a lady author and was so glad to meet other women slaying as writers and/or gamers :D If you haven’t already go check out their projects (a few are SO close to reaching Quill) because they are badass! 

I also want to thank the Inkvengers for pulling behind me during the final days and Ferd Crotte for cheering me on and giving me words of encouragement that were enough to keep the juices flowing. Ferd has 8 days left on his campaign for Mission 51 so please help him reach Quill! You don’t want to miss out on a fantastic project. I want to give a huge thank you to Elena Stofle for being patient with me and answering a bajillion of my questions, and for purchasing multiple copies she is truly awesome! And of course, a HUGE thank you to Duncan Rafferty for accepting my project into the Thane Studios Collection, designing the cover, and believing in my project when I didn’t. At times when I was derailing, Duncan managed to keep my head straight and set me back on the correct path. 

Finally, I want to thank my wonderful immediate and extended family (especially my parents and sister), my friends, acquaintances, and lab family for all of their support. Without them, this project would not have been as successful and so for that I am grateful to have such a loving and supportive group. 

Sorry if I forgot anybody and for a particularly long update! If you need me I’m always an email or DM away! Have a great weekend all! And did I mention IT’S FRIDAY!!!! :D :D :D
