Dear Best friend,

Thank you so much for your advice. I needed it. I’ve been putting off Bexley for a few days, so I’ll trust the process and just go with the flow it’s taking me.

I have written the Bexley series in first person perspective entirely with all the characters getting their own chapters(diary style), and it coincides usually with what’s going on with the plot. I have a lot of characters in the series. Bexley and her husband Stan. Asher and his hubby Hudson and their adopted daughter Shadow. Serena, Clara, Ax, Ben, Emma, Bhavna, India… 😂 a lot. And new ones like Amory & Indigo.

Stan is talking a lot in this sequel. He wants children with his wife. They wanted children since the first book, actually. So, yeah. That’s a tough one! They’re zombies but we will see…

I am feeling better with the meds, and my kids are too, 😊 thank you. Strep is so awful and definitely working around kids, I can see how you would get it a lot too! It sucks….!

I am glad you’re getting your revising and editing done now with those beginning chapters. That’s so important actually and to have it mesh well with the later ones, as you put it, makes sense because I had to do this for that John and Edward story! The dates weren’t making sense so I had to fix it for the beginning chapters. I hope your editing process goes smoothly and your liquid gold (coffee lol) helps you too! And I get what you mean about pms lol it’s good you know when to Not edit! Sometimes it’s hard for me and I’m in a crappy, blasé mood, & you don’t wanna change things during that time. Lol I am going to make myself some coffee now too and edit a bit! I am going to promise myself to trust the process and get at least one more chapter done…!

Have a wonderful day my dear!

Talk to you again soon🌺💓

Love,

Melissa

    Having finally stumbled upon K., will the missive include her letters, too?

    This feels like I am intercepting your mail, or opening a box of papers dropped at my door by accident. Will you eventually assemble these in one missive?
