Please indulge me while I make a little announcement.



I can hardly believe it, but the final draft of Left My Heart has just been sent to beta. The rewrite was a very big project, much bigger than I'd anticipated! I got so much wonderful constructive criticism from people on the first draft, and I really, truly appreciate it! I'm very happy with the way the final version has turned out. I hope people will be interested in reading it when it's posted! Thanks in advance to jedirita, littlesnitch, (ETA:) _inbetween_ and devon_may for taking a look at the final draft for me.

And this means... I can finally start writing the sequel! Yay! When I post the final version of LMH, I'll let you know when to expect to see that start. I anticipate posting parts on Wednesday mornings this time around. I might even post a little cookie soon! Stay tuned, and thank you so much for your support and patience. I know this was promised a while back...

Ooh. I'm eager to see what you've done with it. It was so interesting to work on the first one and see how you made changes from the chapters you sent us and the final posts. Reading it from the non-beta perspective shall be interesting. :)

Thanks! I didn't resend it to you for another beta because you seemed to get a little busy there at the end and I didn't want you to feel obligated to beta the final version. There were a few people who sent me extensive concrit onthe rough draft, and I was hoping to get their okay on the final draft. So many betas... I hope you're not offended!

Oh, goodness no, not at all! It was an honor to work on it at all. When I first said I would, it was only supposed to be, what, six chapters? ;) *l* I figured that would be done well before my exams. So yes, at the end, I was extremely busy. I felt bad for not being able to beta the last few chapters, like I was being irresponsible. But as we all know, life sometimes gets in the way. :) In general, it was just a lot of fun to be part of the process. Thanks for the experience. :D
