    Well, well! I am officially done with the notebooks. I have Rewritten everything I wrote in the notebooks and I'm now on my own for finishing the story. I should have this one less scene and then the epilogue which could have two to three scenes. Depending on if I want to include the last one, which pretty much jumps to Kristol being a hundred years old and reflecting that she criticizes how easy the new generation has it and comparisons. LOL and her Ascension into an archangel, herself or so goes the lore.

    When in reality, she has joined other MCs on a very special trans-dimensional spaceship. Taking on the scourge of a literary world, such as sonichu and Empress Theresa, LOL.

    However she is now officially immortal

    Thanks... My other option is to make one last chapter as the winde down chapter with the two last scenes and then the Epologue jumps to Kristol being 100+ years, where she reflects on her life, criticising how easy the new generation of strangers has it. And some other things as well.

    My aunt brought over some fresh picked mushrooms for me earlier this week. So much better tasting than those ugly, slimy bastards they have at the market. Technically this is a happy thing from Wednesday, but I'm still pretty happy about it.

    Oops, there's actually one additional scene I need to write. It's to complete a sub story arc that even I forgot about, LOL!

    It was mentioned during the middle to end of part 2. And involves the warden of hell and his ties to my MC's family

    I've been waiting to post this because I wanted to see how it turned out. Well, turns out, it turned out turne- Nope, can't keep this bit going. It hurts my soul.

    Anyways, I went to my psychopharamacologist a few weeks ago to talk about my medications and why they didn't seem to be working. After a long conversation, he decided to switch up my medications.

    Well, they're working. Very well, in fact. I feel more like myself than I have in months, which is something I desperately missed.

    Found and removed the source of the tobacco/pharmacy/furniture bug infestation. One more bug bomb and we'll be clear.

    And then, there was just the Epilogue, I finished the last chapter including the one additional scene, hopefully I pulled it off, but my Beta's will let me know. :p .

    But... now just the Epilogue stands in my way, I have already started some of it but my brain is to numb to continue (fatigue), time for bed. I will finish it tomorrow and put the ReWrite to bed. Then Beta Time.

    Funny enough, yesterday was offically four months with 5/14 being when I started the rewrite. 11/28 being when I started the original rough draft (by hand). :) . ON schedule.

    I don't think we have grape here. Never seen it.

    ETA: So what do you guys call gelatin, then? Cos that's our jelly. Your jelly to us is jam.

    Gelatin is Jello, jam has fruit bits in it, and jelly is sweet fruit pectin basically .
