Under Construction Chapter 20 Update on TWCS

Edward and Garrett were finally starting on the Banner’s renovation for their kitchen. They needed the distraction of a new project. They hadn’t heard from Bella in over a week. No phone calls. No texts. No sexy emails. Nothing. Edward naively believed that she was swamped with work from that adoption. Garrett had an inkling that she was back but avoiding them. Something happened after they left. Something bad. Something very bad that obviously caused her to rethink their relationship.

“Stop looking at your phone, douche,” Garrett snapped. “We’ve got to take these measurements.”

“I thought I felt it vibrate,” Edward said, smiling sadly at his friend. “It did, but it was just an email.”

“From Bella?” Garrett asked.

“No. Mrs. Cope. She’s wondering when we’re coming back,” Edward shrugged, shoving the phone back into his pocket. “Daniel is handling her well, but the Banner’s house is a bigger project.” They worked quietly, only speaking to bark out measurements. “Do you think that Bella doesn’t want us?”

“I don’t know, Ed,” Garrett muttered. “Something must have happened that totally spooked her.”

Edward bit back tears. “I miss her so much, Garrett,” he said thickly. “What if she …”

“We’re better off without her,” Garrett said coldly. “We were her playthings and if she can drop us like that than she’s not worth our trouble.”

“You don’t mean that,” Edward growled. “We were not her playthings. We shared something very special.”

FYI ~ I will be posting an extended summary of the third installment, Restoration, on Sunday. It will begin posting on Wednesday, so you will not have to wait long for the continuation of the Renovations trilogy. Keep your eyes peeled! 

Plan of Attack

I can't believe that I can put Star Crossed in the complete column of my computer. It truly pushed me in ways I never thought possible. It was such an amazing story to write. Epic, almost, but not quite. I'm proud of it and happy how it ended. I've already got more brewing. You know? 

I'm still working on Buying Love, trying desperately to build a surplus of chapters but my brain is NOT cooperating. Damn. It. I'm currently working on chapter twenty-four. I'd like to get to chapter thirty before reaching a stopping point so I can work on my next project, So You Think You Can Dance. I wrote the first three chapters for the Fandom 4 Autism. I'm working, focusing on that next. An extended summary will be posted on December 3rd on all of my blogs. The story itself will be posting on December 17th. 

Under Construction has about five more chapters left, with some AMAZING lemons coming up. That should be finished by mid-December. Restoration is complete (with twenty-eight chapters) and will begin posting on Christmas Eve. 

However, I've been struggling with RL issues. Yesterday and today have been rough. It was the first Thanksgiving without my mom and it was tense to say the least. I don't know how to handle it. The two people I care most for in the world can't handle being in the same room with each other. I don't know what to do. Perhaps, if I lose myself in my writing, the stress of RL will go away. I'd appreciate some prayers and virtual loving ...

Public Service Announcement

Sooooo ...

Yeah, I'm the assistant director of the fall play. We're doing Cinderella. Our performances are getting close. As in, like, the week after next. I wanted to touch base with all of you to inform you about updates during my 'hell week.'

They won't be happening.

I won't get home until after nine at night. I'll barely have enough time to shower and get ready for work for the next day.

I will be updating this week and here's the schedule:

Clear as mud? Yeah?

Long and short of it, I won't be posting anything during the first week in November. My life is just too hectic. I will try to get some writing in, but we'll see. Thank you, everyone, for reading. I truly appreciate your support in my hobby.

Hugs!
