Update Link: Watch Me Burn – Part 35 | August Patreon Perks

Happy August! Over on Twitter (which I will call it until the day I die, bite me Elon), we’re celebrating our favorite month. August 2023 marks Becky’s 26th year on GH AND the 24th anniversary of Liason’s first scene in Jake’s. I put together a calendar of events, one for each day, so definitely check out the hashtag #Becky26 if you’re interested in participating or just enjoying.

Thanks for all the comments on the recent updates for Watch Me Burn. It’s a bit wild how the timing turned out — to be writing these scenes mourning Emily as I come up on a similar anniversary myself. I unfortunately have more experience than I ever wanted in losing an essential person in your life suddenly, without warning. Lauren’s battle with cancer was short — they found it too late to do anything. It was, I think, 12 days from diagnosis until she passed, and most of her friends didn’t learn until a little more than 24 hours before she passed. The conversation Jason and Elizabeth had in the last part about whether Emily knew how much they loved her echoes conversations that I had last year, and thoughts.

I posted the August Patreon Perk post which has plans for the free tier, and also talks about the projects I’m working on this month, so definitely check it out if you’re a member. For those who aren’t, here is the project list:

• Fool Me Twice, Book 1 – Ebook: I finished the edit for this a week ago, but then got distracted. I just need to put together the formatting. That will be up for Patreons for a month, then released publicly.
• Fool Me Twice, Book 2 – Beta Draft: Finishing up Act 1 on Thursday, which nearly on schedule. I’ll be finishing Act 2 towards the end of the month. The Adored, Obsessed, and Stalker tier are getting updates on that. Check your tier for when to expect them.
• Signs of Life – Posting Draft: As soon as I’m done setting this post up, I’m grabbing the iPad to complete my final markup. I’m hoping to finish the edit by August 11 for the August 28 posting date.
• Malice: I’m working on discovery for this project so I can add to the slate of choices for NaNoWriMo. I’m finishing up Act 3 in my Plot Sketch.
• Kismet: I was originally going to work on this for the summer, but I want to do more research and think about my plans for it. I love what I’ve written for it, and I’m still excited about this time period. I just want to be sure I know what I’m doing with it.
