FicWad

Thank you for remembering my stories and taking the time to search me out! I appreciate it and the support so much! You guys always leave me speechless and, as a writer, that's awkward. lol

Wow, when it comes to real name vs. surname, to be honest I still haven't decided. I haven't written at all since we closed the site we bought. It's been hard finding work out here for me and the stress of just trying to get by really took its toll on my imagination. I kept thinking things would just fall back into place once I wasn't so stressed but the stress hasn't lessened any. Right now, it's even more intense. I'm moving back East to be closer to my Family, who are all up and down the middle of the East Coast. From our site, I'm sure you know how tight Smooshy and I are and after living across the street from each other for 2 1/2 years it's going to be hell being 1000 miles away again. So the stresses continue to build. On the upside, I'll be living in Virginia with an amazing view of mountains everyday and, once I'm settled, I know exactly what to write. I've had an idea in my head since the old site and I've just needed the head-space to be able to write it. And once I start again, this time there will be no stopping. So that includes re-editing all my old stories and getting them out to Amazon too. It'll take a little time to afford the ISBN numbers so that Amazon won't own any of my publishing rites and I can take them with me to any publishing house that may want them in the future, but the plan is all set. Besides, I'll need to remove all traces of My Chem names. Luckily, I've never written about who the guys are as actual people so I've got my characters intact. There's a lot of editing around the sexual content as well. As much as I love some of those scenes that were pivotal to each story, SO many of them were gratuitous and really just didn't move the story in the way I want to be known for. I'm not a slash writer anymore. It's just not who I am. And to be fair, it always made me feel bad that one day one of the My Chem guys could accidentally come upon one of the stories and I can't imagine the horror of having their name and image attached to those stories. lol I write really dark fiction (and that won't change), but the guys were just a medium for me to get my stories out and have people read them. They'll always be inspirational to me though. I like who they are as people and I believe in each one of them as individuals and as a whole band. I'm stoked that they're working on a new album and you can bet I'll be writing to it and hitting their shows. For now, I want to focus on my characters having names of their own, and for my stories to have content of their own without relying on sexual content being a bigger focus than the storyline. Is any of this making any sense? I realize I'm all over the place, back and forth and spilling out way more than you asked for regarding what name to look for...which I still haven't answered. lol Sorry about that too. When I'm writing and editing and posting on Amazon Kindle, I'll post here for sure with the official name, mine or my Harley surname, and a link to where everyone can find it if they're interested. It's because of you guys that I've been able to write and explore and figure out what kind of a writer I am and what I want to say. I've always tried to write stories that may not reinvent the wheel, but tell a new story of where that wheel has been. I'll never be able to thank you all enough for that. So to make a long story short, (too late!), THANK YOU! Thank you for everything! I'll be back east this fall, staying with my cousin until I'm on my feet and settled. It'll be a few months before I'm writing but like I said, I know just where to start. I hope you'll like it and I'll definitely let you know as soon as it happens. Thank you SO very much! xo Harley
