Well, it seems that I’m a bit late in updating this week. Sorry about that! The good news is that I completely NaNoWriMo well over 50,000 words. It was quite exciting. Now I just have a lot of editing to do. I’ve posted Chapter Five of Orange Sky. You’ll be pleased to find that Zac makes another appearance in this chapter.

While I have a lot of editing to do for Orange Sky, I’m also really excited to jump back into writing Solace! It was nice to take the break and work on something different for a while, but I love writing Silly, so I’m really happy to get back to her story.

Also, for those of you who enjoyed reading Catalyst make sure to check out tomorrow’s story at 25 Days of Christmas. It’s a companion piece to Catalyst that I wrote a couple of months ago. And if you haven’t already checked out the two stories that are already up, make sure you do that and sign the guestbook! They’re both really good. I’m already beginning to warm up and get a little Christmas spirit!

You should also check out the Fools Banquet Awards. It’s a short session of awards for stories from just this year. Check it out and see who’s already nominated and if you’re favorites aren’t already nominated, fill out the form and make sure they are!

And, go check out Hayley’s new domain imaginary-love.org. While I might have lost a hostee, I’ve gained a new affiliate, so I can’t be too terribly upset even though I’ll miss having her here at aitp.org!

And, of course, thank you to everyone who signed the guestbook: Nat, Jessica, Katie, Becca, Foxtrot, Jen, and Mel. I really appreciate your comments and the fact you took the time to sign the guestbook! I hope you enjoy the new chapter, and once you’re finished make sure you go and check out everything I mentioned above as well as Natalie’s story for NaNoWriMo - Revelations. It’s excellent and it’s my current fave, so give her some love!

Chapter Forty-Two of Starlight is up! I think it’s a pretty interesting one with lots of interaction. Plus, Presley’s crazy grandparents make a reappearance, and I think you’ll be interested in Gramma Kay’s thoughts and comments.

I’m so glad so many people enjoyed the last chapter. I know there were some moments where things started to get a bit nasty, but I think that’s really just the stress of all the sneaking around starting to get to both Presley and Zac. Of course, of course, Presley should just listen to Zac, but in case you haven’t realized it yet, she’s quite stubborn.

But thank you so much to Kristin, Kim, Erin, Katie, Paulina, Mel, Gabby, Hayley, kristin, and Miranda for signing the guestbook! I hope you enjoy this chapter because after this one I believe things will be taking another turn. *hint hint*

And (I nearly forgot) Becca is doing 25 Days of Christmas this year. You can sign up now by going here. I know it seems early, but if you’re like me and planning to do NaNoWriMo this year, it’s good to get a head start on things. I’m thinking about resurrecting Aubrey and Zac from Catalyst for my story. Thoughts? Y/N? Anyway, if you’re interested, make sure you sign up!

I’m making an early update this week. I was going to update tomorrow, but some things came up and I wasn’t sure I’d have a chance, and I think Wednesday is definitely out too. I’m not quite sure how updates are going to be over the next few weeks. Nikki will be here for over two weeks, and I’m sure I’ll be busy, but I’ll try to make updates, but no promises on when they’ll come. In the meantime I’m posting Chapters Twenty-Nine and Thirty of Starlight.

Don’t forget to vote at The Soundtrack Awards and Chaos Into Art, and make sure to check out all of the great stories at The Spark Inside and also my new affiliate - Chele!

Thank you to everyone who commented on Catalyst. I really appreciated the comments. I hope you enjoy the new chapters of Starlight and forgive me for keeping you hanging!
