Next Chapter Poll

Hi Everyone,

I've never finished a Book before, and since I've been told to keep it below 150,000 words by a Publisher, I've been trying to figure out what way I want to proceed. I know what's going to happen, and I don't mind...

Chapter 44: Remember Me? - Part One

Hi Everyone,

Sorry for the delay! Here's the next part of Wildcards. I tried a few different things with the status bars and I wasn't sure about the quick switching between perspectives, so let me know what you think.

Status Update on Chapter 43!

I wasn't able to finish the chapter last night, and I have classes today. I'll hopefully have it finished this evening, and just wanted to thank you for your patience. Doing a post-grad and a story was not a good idea! 

As a bonus, here's Otto protecting my Whiskey from Pedro.
