SupportI'm an Australian book fanatic in my mid-twenties. I have an obsession with magic, a morbid fascination with vampires (both hot and scary) and a passionate admiration for Hercule Poirot. As a result, my favourite genres to read and write are urban/low fantasy, paranormal, horror, and mystery.

I don't know if anyone will see this but just in case here's a copy of the twitter post I just made:
I've done some thinking over the last few days and have decided that I will post the fully edited version of 'The Southern Magicks/Small Town Horror' to Tapas.
This won't be until the December.
If you were enjoying this story please follow me on Twitter for updates.
I did enjoy posting a web novel and the Tapas community but I've realised I need a backlog to make the process work. I was editing as I posted and that didn't work with my other commitments.

I'm going to pull my web novels from everywhere but my website. I've decided I'd rather put my limited time and money into creating traditional novels.
The constant pressure the have something new each week, doesn't fit me or my writing process.
I want to solely focus on editing 'The Southern Magicks' for publication.
But to keep up with my web novels I also I have to rewrite the sequel and edit "Blood & Cupcakes' which needs a serious re-write.
I can't cope with this many projects at once anymore.
I've also paid 100's of dollars in editing fees which could have went towards publishing my novels as e/print books. They both need serious developmental editing before they can be turned into novels.
Something that started as a way for me to have accountability while editing has turned into a stressful hobby that has consumed my life.
I'm going to keep writing and working on my current novels but on my own terms.
I'm not going to delete my Tapas account as there are many great stories I'd still like to read.
Anyone who was invested in The Small Town Horror (The Southern Magicks #1) can send me a DM and I'll give you a free copy of the e-book version complete with bonus scenes in a few months.

Good luck with everything! ^^
No worries! Webserials are nothing but stress sometimes. The grind can be a lot! I wish you luck~!
Good luck with your works! I know it can be stressful to upload sometimes. I was really enjoying The Small Town Horror, even though I was a slow reader.
I'll miss your work but good luck!
I'm scheduling every episode I have edited of both my series because my desktop has stopped working and I don't know how often I'll be able to borrow the one I'm using.
I'll need to send my computer away because it's still under warranty.
I should be able to borrow this computer to edit and post my stories if I absolutely need to.

I’m up to editing the 3rd act of ‘The Small Town Horror’.
There are currently 16 chapters left in the 2nd act and 11 chapters in the 3rd act.
I should finish posting this novel/story arc by the 19th of June and soon need to commission new cover art.
I need to decide if I start a new book or rename ‘The Small Town Horror’ to ‘The Southern Magicks’ and continue there.
Would you rather I start a new book or post the 2nd story arc/novel in the same book?

Sorry about the lack of updates. I took some time off around Christmas then became unwell. I've been seeing a specialist but it's still an ongoing problem.
I haven't felt like doing a lot of editing after working on my feet for six hours at my day job.
I've been editing on the weekend and have just sent 16,000 words of 'Blood & Cupcakes' and 27,000 words of ‘The Small Town Horror’ to the editor I've been working with.
‘Blood & Cupcakes’ will be back on Monday and Friday from the 12th of March.
‘The Small Town Horror’ will be back on Tuesday and Saturday from the 13th of March.

I commissioned a cute drawing of Eli and Dexter from Catuallie (https://tapas.io/helpwantedcomic1) .
'Blood & Cupcakes' is on a short hiatus until the 26th of December.
Have a good break!
I echo Domi's sentiment!
