"It's a Wrap!" - chapter 6

Maddie just sent me chapter 6 of her story. She says she's on a roll and hope to send me weekly updates from now on.  I'm glad her muse is more cooperative than mine.

Enjoy!

"It's a Wrap!" - chapter 5

Hooray! I just got chapter 5 of "It's a Wrap" from Maddie. She apologizes for her absence and promises she'll do her best to post new chapters on a regular basis as things are settling down in her personal life.

WEEK TEN

The weekend at home was a success and today, Friday, I’m going home permanently.  I’ll do the last three weeks of my rehab program as an outpatient.  I’m really excited that I’m getting out of the rehab center.  Life is getting back to normal and it feels good.

The thing I’m most nervous about at the moment is the press conference on Monday. We still haven’t revealed the fate of ‘Dean & Dad’, but now it’s time. It’ll be the first time I face the press and public in a wheelchair and I wonder how it will turn out. Before I can think more about it a familiar, excited squeal from the doorway demands my attention.

A message from Cathy to the readers of "Every Breath I Take"

First of all; I'm thankful that so many are reading my little story. Mille has been keeping me up to date on the story's statistics since I started posting it and I've been blown away pretty much from the beginning.

I know you're waiting for a new chapter and I'm very sorry for keeping you waiting. The classes I'm taking this semester have turned out to be extremely demanding and my studies is my main priority. The only writing I've been able to do for the past month and a half is school work.  I hope things settle down so I can start working on my story again. I really enjoy that, but just don't have the time right now.

Another thing; as I've written the story I've been doing research on respiratory disabilities and ventilator dependency.  I realize I've made some mistakes, especially in the early chapters, and it bothers me. I'm considering re-writing what I've written so far for two reasons: First to fix the mistakes/inaccuracies and second because some chapters are rough and need to be cleaned up. What do you, my readers, think? 

There will be more chapters - thank you for having patience with me.

-Cathy


Note from Mille:
I've been trying to get a hold of Maddie. I haven't heard from her since she sent me chapter 4 of "It's a Wrap" and she's not responding to my emails. I hope she's okay and that she'll continue her story at some point.

As for my stories. I feel horrible not updating regularly, but I just have so much going on in my life. Work, travel, personal issues...the list is long. I am working on a new chapter of "The Outsiders", but it's s progressing very slowly and I'm not sure when it'll be ready to publish.

"Every Breath I Take" - chapter 14

"It's short. It's rough. But it's a chapter and I'm working on more for you." - Cathy

Without further ado; here's chapter 14 for you. Enjoy!

Remember: Josh's condition is fictional and I take no responsibility for the medical accuracy. Cathy assures me she has done her research.

"Every Breath I Take" - chapter 13

Cathy just sent me a new chapter of her story - and told me to assure you the next one is in the works and she hopes to publish it before Christmas.

Maddie apologizes for the long wait for a new chapter of "It's a Wrap". She works in retail and this is a very busy time for her at work, so she has very limited time to write these days.  She'll probably not be able to post more before after Christmas.  

I posted a new chapter of "The Outsiders" on Paradevo today - head over there and check it out after you've finished chapter 13 of "Every Breath I Take".

-Mille

'Every Breath I Take' - Chapter 12

Cathy just sent me chapter 12 of 'Every Breath I Take'. Hope you enjoy it. :-)

As always; Josh's condition is fictional, a figment of Cathy's imagination. She assures me she has done some research and is trying to get all the tracheostomy and ventilator stuff as accurate as possible. I take no responsibility for things being accurate.

"It's a Wrap!" - Chapter 4

Here's a new chapter of "It's a Wrap!"- hope you enjoy it!

Cathy has told me to let you know that she hasn't fallen off the surface of the earth and that she is still working on "Every Breath I Take". She's just really busy these days, she's cramming for her fall finals.  She hopes to have a new chapter for us soon and has promised me that she'll try to do more regular updates after she's done with her exams and things get less hectic for her. 

As for me and my stories; my muse is very uncooperative and I'm extremely busy. Hope rings slow down and my muse gets more co-operative soon.
