This is Going To Be Different.....

Welcome to Part II 

To Lile and The Old Days
I have to admit, I was jonesing so much for a QC update that  I pounced on the new chapter and  didn't really take in what Lile had written in her blog post about writer's block. Seeing as I invented the trenches I am in no place to give advice on writer's block, but I'm going to do it anyway.

I had hit a wall myself right around this chapter and so the best advice I can give is to break your own rules, try something crazy, let some parts go and also to just put in whatever you want. I started this chapter 3 times before I figured it out.

I've also been thinking about The Good Old Days (which...is crazy we have those, right). I too canont imagine going back to writing chapter by chapter even though I'm sure it would probably be a good experiment. I'm writing chapter 22 right now and I feel  if I let the gap between chapters close I'd be a nervous wreck.

But I do think one thing that made S&A so immersive was how Lile gradually came into the world and brought us in. A few novellas, a few one-shots, a few AUs and then finally something longer. It wasn't traditional, but it worked. I honestly say we should just keep building AUs on top of AUs

But also Lile, keep in mind you are kinda my muse. With each thing you do you push me farther and as you will see in a few mouse clicks, I wouldn't have this chapter without you.



Chapter 15
This chapter is going to be a little...different so I just want to get into it. There is going to be a heavy dose of Shawna Is Unoriginal in this chapter.

Just to get us on the same page I want to recap what happened in Part I.

After the trial in United Light 2 Juliana goes to jail for 3 years. When she gets out she reconnects with Rhett, they get married and have a baby but it's not exactly an HEA. Juliana has severe anxiety and a hard time finding work because of her felony record.Rhett moves to North Carolina to become a rescue swimmer, leaving her in Freeport, LA. Not to mention her Dad doesn't support their marriage.

The new strains on their marriage causes fights, but that is all put on hold when Katrina hits. They loose their home and   Juliana and Mason have moved in with Rhett's Mom while  Rhett has been called into to work with the relief effort.

Also they meet a woman from the Coast Guard Public Affairs Office  named Olsen...
