CL Mustafic Posted September 28, 2015 Author Report Posted September 28, 2015 Okay, I know I've been a lousy updater lately but you'll all have to excuse me a bit for that but that's not why I'm writing this post. I just wanted to let you all know that my quest to get FFH published is still ongoing and taking up quite a bit of my time but I've finally gotten just a bit of good news (nothing concrete but I'm taking it as a good sign). I got an email from an editor that said this: This is just a line to let you know that we're still actively considering your book, but will have to ask you to allow us a few more days before giving you our decision. Our first reader has finished reading it and loves it, but the next stage would be for me to read it myself - and unfortunately I'm up to my eyes in editing something for another author and won't even be able to look at it until after the weekend. I'll do everything in my power to get an answer to you before 3 October, though, and hope you will forgive me for the delay. So for those of you following along with my quest (basically it's for you Tahn ), there's that. So I'm sorry that I haven't been updating much but I guess them's the breaks. I'll just be sitting here in my little corner rocking rhythmically to the insane voices trapped in my head until I hear something more since I can't bring myself to focus long enough to do anything else.

CL Mustafic Posted October 5, 2015 Author Report Posted October 5, 2015 I actually heard back from them and got a 'revise and resubmit' letter of rejection but after talking to Bronxwench, she's convinced me that's actually a good thing. I'll keep you updated. *sneaks off to revise so she can resubmit* Quote
Tahn Posted October 6, 2015 Report Posted October 6, 2015 I think I should congratulate you, but I'm confused so I'm just gonna wish you luck with whatever you do. Quote
CL Mustafic Posted October 12, 2015 Author Report Posted October 12, 2015 Review Replies for The Heart Wants Chapter 19 Thanks as always to everyone who reads, rates and reviews, I appreciate the support! Okay so I’m going to apologize for not updating recently but I’ve just had too many irons in the fire lately. I’ve tried to cleanse my brain of all the things running about in it and have actually gotten a couple of chapters done. I also am taking part in the Halloween Oneshot collection, you can find the thread for it here: http://www2.adult-fanfiction.org/forum/index.php/topic/60996-affs-tales-from-the-shoutbox-2015/#entry381848 make sure you check it out and if you’re a writer come join in the fun! Okay so on to the review replies so I can actually post the next darn chapter… Tahn: Of course I blame you! Thanks for your help reading through the chapters and encouraging me to post them even though they don’t seem up to snuff. Lisa: I love the new Zeb too! Who knew there was an actual sweet person under all that attitude? Don’t you hate it when people do crap that you can’t fathom ever doing? You have to wonder what his mother is going through though… just a little… right? Thanks for sticking with me. Lunar: Sorry, it wasn’t quick! I’ll try to be better. MoTown: I know it’s been awhile since I’ve updated anything. I’ve been running circles in my head and there’s just so much that wants to come out that I’ve been working steadily just not on anything that I’ve been posting or am ready to post. Thank you for letting me know that you noticed I was gone. It means a lot to me that you are looking forward to having new chapters. I should have a couple out in short order here. So that’s all for now, thanks again to all who reviewed! Chapter 20 is up now! CL Quote
CL Mustafic Posted October 25, 2015 Author Report Posted October 25, 2015 Review Replies for Chapter 20 of The Heart Wants Thanks once again to all who read, rate and review! You know I love you guys! Okay so I know you all are waiting for more updates but I have more bad news... I've decided to do Nano this year so I'm going to be focused on that for the month of November. I will be putting my Nano project on Smashwords if anyone's interested in checking it out. I'll provide a link when the time comes. I also wanted to mention that I have a short story included in AFF's Tales from the Shoutbox so if you're interested in checking it out, here's the link http://original.adult-fanfiction.org/story.php?no=600107953&chapter=7 that will take you directly to my story but make sure to check out all the other stories from the amazing authors here on AFF. If you leave me a review I will reply to it in this thread also. Okay so on to review replies: Tahn: Yeah I'm sorry, them's the breaks when you become an unofficial beta. Thanks for the encouragement to post it once again. Lisa: LOL I'm sorry, I didn't mean to go walk about for so long! I'm glad you enjoyed the chapter and you're right Shane needs a time out. Justin's parents surprised me too, I was worried I'd have two boys moping around about their families reactions (three if you count poor Zeb). I'm working on a pill for the withdrawal... Well that's it for now, thanks again to Tahn and Lisa for the reviews, you know they keep us writers going! Chapter 21 is up now! ChrissyQuinn 1 Quote
Tahn Posted October 26, 2015 Report Posted October 26, 2015 Noes! I'm gonna go crazy without my fix! *sigh* Will you be posting your NaNo story here when you are finished? Quote
LisaT2525 Posted November 15, 2015 Report Posted November 15, 2015 I ditto Tahn! Oh noes!!!!!! A whole month! I guess I should be lucky the month is halfway over. lol I come on AFF a few times a day looking for ANY of your hella awesome stories, CL, but all I'm greeted with is utter S.H.I.T. (IMO). I don't wanna read about vampires, werewolves, sci-fi crap, fantasy shit, shifters, shapers, incubus' (whatever the hell THEY are!), spiders, snakes, beasts...I just want to read more of your stories!!!! I think I'll go into hibernation until you come back. Oh! And good luck with the Nano contest! I'll definitely check out your short story (and you Nano when you post the link). Quote

Yep the month is almost over and it's been a pretty productive one because I have a good chunk of a new story written, over 47k words and counting. Pushing to finish it by the end of the month so there's that. Here's the link to the Halloween short story I forgot to post it, silly me http://original.adult-fanfiction.org/story.php?no=600107953&chapter=7 Make sure to check out the other stories too because they're all pretty good! Sorry to make you wait a bit longer but doing NaNo has actually pushed me back into gear and I'm hoping to get my other WIPs finished when I'm done. Oh and before I forget, I have a little Loving Sarajevo short on my blog which you can find here if you're interested :http://clmustafic.blogspot.ba/ Thanks for stopping by Lisa! Quote

CL Mustafic Posted November 26, 2015 Author Report Posted November 26, 2015 I just posted the edited chapters of Loving Sarajevo plus I added a bonus short at the end. I'm probably talking to myself here, I don't think anyone checks this unless I've updated so... anyhoo ChrissyQuinn 1 Quote

CL Mustafic Posted November 30, 2015 Author Report Posted November 30, 2015 Review Replies for The Heart Wants Chapter 21 Okay so thanks again to everyone that reads, rates and reviews. News: So I finished my NaNo story but decided not to do the Smashwords thing because it needs too much editing so I'll probably procrastinate on editing and post it eventually here. I'm back to writing on my WIPs and am going to try to finish a couple of them up soon. Okay so this one is easy for the review replies.... Tahn: Thanks and for being the only reviewer even though you already read the chapter. Am going to build you a little shelter in the rose bushes for winter because I <3 you. That's it. LOL Chapter 22 is up now. CL Quote
Tahn Posted November 30, 2015 Report Posted November 30, 2015 Yay! I can has blanket? CL Mustafic 1 Quote
CL Mustafic Posted December 3, 2015 Author Report Posted December 3, 2015 Yay! I can has blanket? Yes and I'll even put a little space heater in there for you since it's got plumbing and electric. I've upgraded it to a little cabin. Quote
CL Mustafic Posted December 3, 2015 Author Report Posted December 3, 2015 Review Replies for The Heart Wants Chapter 22 Once again thanks to all who read, rate and review! Mostly reading and rating of course... lol So I'm actually making some progress here on this one. Not much else to say... On to review replies... Tahn: I know right. I promise the next chapter doesn't have a cliffhanger but the chapter after that has a doozy. Lisa: Is that rock big enough for two? I may need to hide somewhere for a bit. As for Payne's story, I decided to finish up Heart first and then I think I'll buckle down and edit and finish writing Pieces. NaNo went good, I finished my first draft of it in the first 20 days at a little over 74k words. I'm going to work on polishing it up so I can post it soon. Thanks for the review. That's it, thanks again Tahn and Lisa for the reviews! Chapter 23 is up now. CL Quote
Tahn Posted December 4, 2015 Report Posted December 4, 2015 Yes and I'll even put a little space heater in there for you since it's got plumbing and electric. I've upgraded it to a little cabin. Score! Quote
