I’ll keep you posted when the initial post is up but you can also follow me on Amazon on my author’s page
Chapter Update: 09/03/2023 – In Kindle Vella and a Premium member link for Chapter/Episode 6 should be posted or scheduled by the time of this reading.
Author’s Note:
I corrected where I said two to four years in the last episode. Thanks for that reader (one reader) for catching that. Maddox is a very complex man. Albeit he wants the lust but not the love that comes with a relationship, and if he had his way, he’d love to dip in and out of Adira’s life (literally) without the worry that she’d be alone. They’ll conversate about this more, but for now, know that Maddox knows his faults and is willing to give up on lust to have the friendship he needs. Please let me know your thoughts on Maddox. And do you think Derek suspects his friend’s lust and is playing the innocent? If you want to dive deep into Derek’s “thing,” check out Delilah’s Desire. Also, Nevada appears in other books as well. REMEMBER your likes, comments, and shares energize me to write more. We’ll be on the Monday and Wednesday schedule, but if you guys are good, I could drop an extra on Friday. Help me, help you finish the story. LIKE, COMMENT, SHARE, and if you have them, FAVE! Thanks in advance.

My current writing process
I’m working in LivingWriter.com on the story. I’m trying to move away from Google docs.
I like that I can add my author’s notes (keep track of what I say and offer more words without worrying about a word count like I do when I type it fresh in kindle vella platform.
I’m also using storyoriginapp.com to keep up with my word count and offer beta copies behind a paywall for my premium and alpha readers. This is fun and exciting. Maybe I’ll offer it over on my site in a full book later. We’ll see how the turnout comes.
I’m using my blog to track my writer’s thoughts. I can’t share the deep ones in the Author’s Notes; only real writers can understand.
So I did use ChatGPT to help me outline after giving it a detailed synopsis (about a page long) but I’m finding myself moving a lot of things around at least having an outline to remember a lot of the things I’d have to come back and add.
It’s my first time using ChatGPT on a live book, and I hope this will help this paper write a lot faster so I can give my readers the chapters.
Moving things around meaning, a lot of the things ChatGPT told me to write in Chapters 3 and 4 I managed to manipulate in Chapter 1, and then in Chapter 4, I’m pulling from Chapters 5 and six, so I’m a little ahead of the game, but I’m still following The Save the Cat method in my telling of the story.
Having the outline makes me write more because I know where I’m going, and I can map out in my head better how to get to scenes faster and not be so wordy.

My editing process.”
I use Grammarly, which works well in Livingwriter and then I’ll post it in my Kindle Vella, check the grammar some more, read it out loud, and then if I’m satisfied, I’ll post it.
Got questions? Ask away in the comments. I’m eager to share my journey and work out any confusion.
