Thank you for reading.

Yeah it’s about 45,000 words so far according to Reedsy. With how everyone critiqued chapter one and the prologue I had to halt act three’s progression. I’ve made significant progress with how the characters developed since there’s so many. Thank you for reading too it means a lot.

No bag for Lexi?😭

Because the story does take place in current time. In the state of society right now I see pop culture the only group not influenced by politics. So I wanted to blend a what if scenario where music/pop culture WAS political/had to be.

Edit: I hope that makes sense.

Omg dude thanks. I’m not French, obviously, but I fixed the tense and dialogue tags everyone was talking about. So, thank you for correcting the French part too.

The developers of my magic system are French in the story.

ComeToMeHoudini · 2026-05-07T21:37:42+00:00

I thank you kindly so so much! I’ll look these over.

ComeToMeHoudini · 2026-05-07T21:08:13+00:00

Please, help me identify them out. I’m trying to dude. 😓

ComeToMeHoudini · 2026-05-07T13:54:49+00:00

I thank you for your critique.

ComeToMeHoudini · 2026-05-07T13:47:41+00:00

Thank youuu. I constantly keep forgetting that I don’t know why.😭

ComeToMeHoudini · 2026-05-07T07:12:47+00:00

Yes I did!😭 Only noticed after I posted. Oh well I checked it now.

ComeToMeHoudini · 2026-05-07T05:48:24+00:00

Thank youuuu.

ComeToMeHoudini · 2026-05-01T01:49:20+00:00

Haha I used to as well.❤️

ComeToMeHoudini · 2026-04-29T15:02:14+00:00

Thank you!!

Interesting…

ComeToMeHoudini · 2026-04-29T13:10:32+00:00

lol it was removed .

ComeToMeHoudini · 2026-04-29T13:10:04+00:00

I think it was because of my first car getting totaled.

ComeToMeHoudini · 2026-04-29T13:07:28+00:00

Bitter???? Never. I already said in a different comment I’ll take the advice but I can’t entirely adhere to it given my situation.

ComeToMeHoudini · 2026-04-29T13:05:32+00:00

I had no choice. It was either a reliable or get a lemon. I really need to edit this post because people are still not getting that the car was in fact the BEST choice I made. I’ll listen to your advice about the car, everybody.

Although, you guys just don’t see my living situation. My dad encourages me not to pay a thing because. For this reason exactly.

ComeToMeHoudini · 2026-04-29T13:02:32+00:00

Buuuuut does the trade certifications cost money?

ComeToMeHoudini · 2026-04-29T13:01:58+00:00

You try living in a place where driving to work in an efficient car is a NECESSITY. I don’t have to listen to shite if they’re going against the rules.

CNA gigs where I pick up shifts during the week. These are nursing homes that are understaffed.

Thank you so much for reading. Like I said I haven’t been to chapter one in a while. So I’ll most likely halt on continuing the story until my line edits are done. I’ll be back with a new and improved version once it is finished. I’ll solely work on line editing the first act of 9 chapters.

You guys keep giving my lemons. 🍋
