Readers!
          I am sorry for not updating as much as I should be. Work's been working, and life's been lifing. 
          From wedding to graduation to the Ren Fest to baseball games and then a play, it's been a busy two weeks/weekends, and it's only going to get busier before May ends. I still have two graduations to go to as well as a banquet thing (I don't know what it is called, but I know that it starts with a B for my cousin who's graduating in two weeks) and then baseball games and then work. So ya, May's been a busy month, but I'm hoping that it will slow down a bit as soon as June hits.
          Thankfully, I have been keeping up with my daily goal of 1613 words, even though some of those days have been a struggle.
          Anyway, I have a short shift tomorrow, so I am hoping to actually post some stuff for ya'll, especially stuff that has been late and should have already been updated by now, but I haven't because I have been busy with other things as well as writing.
          I'll try to do that for Thursday and Friday of this week as well, especially since I will be going to two baseball games in a row on both Tuesday and Wednesday, but I need to see how I feel and if I finished the amount of words that I need each day.
          So ya, fingers are crossed, and I will see ya'll in books or in more of these random messages.
          Now, I must go to bed because I am tired and want a bit more sleep before my cat RUDELY wakes me up at 8am. (It's like clockwork.)
          So, ya... 
          Night!

Hello, my lovely people,
          I am sorry for another update and lack of updates. It's been a fun month and it has only gotten funner. Anyway, I am not sure how many chapters/words I will be able write this month because it is going to be a VERY, and I mean a VERY busy month. This includes a wedding (which I am going down to today (05/01/2024), to three graduations (two of which are just one day a part but a six hour drive (and thankfully, I am not the one driving)), to going to the ren fest, baseball games, a play, and last but not least work. Oh, and let's not forget about going to the vet for rechecks.
          
          So... ya. A lot is happening in my personal life at the moment. I will be writing when I can and whatnot, especially if I am in a "quiet place." However, editing and updating these stories is another story.
          
          I will try to edit/update some stuff tonight when I get to my destination or when there is free time. If not, I know that I will be able to Monday May 6th because I do not work that day (yet) but have said that my manager could call because there have been a LOT, and I mean a LOT of callouts.
          
          And... ya. That is about it.
          Thank you for your continued patience and support. I do appreciate it.
          
          Now I need to get out of the quiet place where I am writing this message and a bit of into the light because I still have a lot to do and only have an hour before I leave.
          
          So cheers!

Any up date will when you have time 

Just wandering the broken soldier   Great story so far how often do you post please 

Baseball season is upon us, so that means a lot of games and a lot of chances to write. Expect slightly more updates than usual around dates that I am at baseball games (even though I am not saying when I am at a game ;) ) if I am not saving a chapter for a particular date ie a chapter of Dracon coming soon or this chapter of Forget Me Not that I am working on now.
          
          I will try to work on stories like Horse Stone, The Reincarnated, and The Rejected Alpha and others that have a lot of chapters because my phone doesn't seem to want to work through them.
          
          But ya, expect more updates if I am not at work or trying to write 1667 words because its the "start" of a new month.
          
          I will try to update more this weekend because I have both Friday and Saturday off.
          
          It's mainly The Red Wolf's Daughter P2, The Cowgirl Rogue, The Beta's Young Warrior, and Forget Me Not that have more chapters than the rest of them. There might be others I am probably forgetting that have chapters, but I know those are the main ones for now.
          
          Again, thank you for being patient with me while I try to work on these, actually work, and not do something... drastic... because some days are hell of a lot worse than others.
          
          Thanks again.

Day 7/7 has been completed with work. I survived. Barely, but I survived. I had two meltdowns, but that is normal for me sadly. 
          
          One was so bad that I accidentally snotted on one of my coworkers. I didn't realize that I was going to have a meltdown that day, but somehow, she knew. She saw something on my face.
          
          I really wish my boss would allow me to not do something or at least let me get help, but no, it's strictly one person with a ton of stuff to do. I also wish I could be able to start sooner, but also no. I have to do it in the alloted four hours.
          
          Ya... not fun.
          
          I have a musical to see tomorrow, but I am hoping to get some chapters finished before and during intermission so that after the musical, I can work on editing and updating what I have written.
          
          Goal is still 1613+ words every day this month, so 50k+ in total, and then 600k+ by the end of the year. (We are currently at 220,613 as of 12:14 EDT, March 24, 2024, and that is with chapters not completely edited.)
          
          Again, thank you all for your continued support during all of this and putting up with me. I do appreciate it.

All right you lot,
          
          Work has been a pain in the butt and has been continuously, so I am still sorry for not keeping up with the schedule. I am trying. I promise. I am writing about 1600+ words a day even if it doesn't seem like it because it is being spread through a few books.
          
          Anyway,  I just want to give you a heads up that next week might be a little hard to do that because I will be working seven days straight. (My boss didn't even seem to realize that until I said something. (Well, she knows that I am working six days straight and then I have one extra day of the next pay period before I get a break.))
          
          My work schedule/pay week or whatever it is called is Saturday-Friday. Don't ask me why it's that way because I have no idea. I just work here.
          
          So ya. Fingers are crossed that I can get some stuff up and ready for ya'll to see for next week on Saturday, but it all does depened on work and what I need to do.
          
          As always, thank you for your constant support and reads, and I hope that you aren't super tired of my butt not updating the book(s) ya'll like.
          
          Thanks again.
          
          ~Rissa
          
          Also, please don't be afraid to tell me to update a book sooner. I don't mind and will try to get it out as soon as I can.

I love all of your books I've read so far! Amazing! I've become quickly addicted! Love them all so much! :D

When will you write more of Because of fate??? It doesn't help that your books are good and leaving me at a cliffhanger.... Letting my curiosity run wild.... You're a great writer but please don't leave a reader like me, trying to guess what happens next....
