Imagine me coming into this tag and finding you LOLOL ����

Awwww thank you very much Kristin!! I couldn’t have asked for a better author! 💜💜💜

As we near our April 1st start date, hear from our authors about the experience of rewriting their stories!

Today, we hear from @xemmaloveskillianx who is rewriting Never Traditional.

What was the easiest aspect of reworking your existing story?

Having the ground work already laid out.

What was the most difficult aspect about reworking your story?

Working new scenes in while making the old scenes still relevant.

What did you learn about yourself or your writing by rewriting your story? How have you or your writing changed since you wrote it the first time?

Omg I learned so much. I learned how to make things sound smoother and make more sense.

Did rewriting a story under the parameters of the event make you want to rewrite other stories of yours, or take up one of your abandoned stories to try to finish it?

Definitely want to take up one of my abandoned stories and finish it.

Yep. So that made up my mind, even though it’s something I do not wish I had to do and I definitely feel terrible about. I just can’t risk it. Not just for myself, but especially for my mom. I am her primary caretaker and, if every goes as is currently scheduled now, she’s about to have major back surgery on Tuesday. So she’ll be at an even bigger high risk than she already is... and I’m the one who will be with her more than anybody else.

I can’t put her at risk by being foolish and going on a trip I ultimately do not need to take, no matter how much it pains me to not go because it’s for one of my best mates and I have been looking forward to the trip for a while now.

And I mention it because 

1. I have been openly posting about going and now I’m not and I don’t want anybody to think is has to do with anything other than this damn virus. That is the sole reason I will no longer be going. And of course, as I said, Kristin has been completely understanding. 

2. I wanna make sure I set myself to the same expectations I have for everyone else. This was a personal sacrifice I knew I had to make for the health of those closest to me, who are most at risk of being adversely effected by this pandemic. It is my responsibility to behave smartly and unselfishly. I won’t be the reason people around me get sick, as much as I can possibly help it at least. 

Support our Captain Swan Rewrite-a-Thon authors as they finish polishing up their brand new rewritten stories! Posting begins April 1st!

Beastly

Meet Killian Jones. Attractive. Wealthy. Arrogant. He has it all… until he becomes aggressively unattractive outside as he is on the inside. Cursed to find someone that can see him better than he can see himself, he hides away, because who could ever learn to love a beast?
