Under The Tartosan Sun

@Ellupelluellu Thank you🙂

Today's chapter is all about Summer. This is something that I want to do more in the future. Too often Summer and Darian become background characters while the Huntley's and Rossi's get the spotlight.

Chapter 30

@DaniRose2143 

What a wonderful episode. So satisfying to read about women encouraging and rooting for each other.

@simgirl1010 Thank you so much. That's one of the themes I wanted for this story beyond love and finding your soulmate. I wanted the women who make up the heart of this story, what I call "The Sisterhood", to be there for each other, good times and bad times. If life knocks one of them down the others pick her up, give her a hug, and help her through the rough times. We should all have friends like that.

I'm lucky, I have two.❤️ And trust me, they've picked up on more than one occasion.😍

I just dropped in to say that I’m going to slow down and start posting new chapters here every 5th day. I’ve been flooding everyone with too much too fast so I’m going to let everyone have a chance to get caught up.😊

I'm back with another chapter. This is the point in my writing where they started to turn into mini novels. That's why I felt it best to start spacing them out.😃 I'll post the next one on Wednesday.

Chapter 31

Thank you @Ellupelluellu

Danielle’s win really was a surprise. She didn’t get a notice saying she was nominated like Londyn did.🙂

This is the first of a two part storyline. It starts off with a wonderful girl's day out. Secrets are shared and the bonds of sisterhood become tighter.

@Ellupelluellu When I first knew that Danielle was a lesbian I thought about having her and Summer get together. A short romance at least. I'm glad I didn't because Londyn might never have come along.

The conclusion of the Celebrazioni fire storyline.

Thank you @Ellupelluellu🙂 Of all the changes I’ve to my writing, being descriptive and putting readers in the scene is the most fun.

Oops. Forgot to post another chapter yesterday.😊

Chapter 34:

What a sweet proposal.  Love that you included the video and song lyrics to enhance the mood.

It seemed to make it much more personal. If that makes sense. One of my favorite songs.

Chapter 35:

Great episode. I'd cancel the other interviews and go with Jasmine.

@simgirl1010 Thank you❤️ Music is such a big part of my creative process. I use it to set the mood for the scene I'm writing. I adore both songs and they were so important to that chapter I had to include them.🥰

I don't feel like anybody can compete with Jasmine's offer. She feels so perfect for Danielle.🙂

@Ellupelluellu Thank you.🙂 I wasn't as subtle as I wanted to be.🙂

Time for another chapter. After today there are just ten more to go before we're caught up.

@Ellupelluellu Any time they spend together is a wonderful time in their eyes.❤️

Chapter Thirty Seven

For those of you who don't follow this story on the official forums, Chapter 46 will be the last. The story isn't ending. I made the decision to reboot it. I've learned and grown so much as a writer over the last two years. This story has so many holes, weird time jumps, and characters who come and go with no explanation. Izabella/Guilia comes to mind. And the characters lead lives that are, let's face it, too idyllic. It's time to retell it and fix all those mistakes.

I'm going all the way back to when Danielle, Summer, and Liberty were starting out as students at Foxbury. Londyn will be attending Britechester, but in a separate save. I want to take my time and build up to each of the couples meeting. I want to show how they fell in love and all the experiences that made them who they are. Above all else I want them to have the ups and downs that even the best relationships in the real world have. Don't worry, Danielle and Londyn will still fall madly in love with each other. The same goes for Liberty and Matteo, Summer and Darian. Poor Summer and Darian got lost in the shuffle with the super couples.

I hope that in being more realistic, much more flawed, they'll be even more relatable and endearing. We'll end up back here story wise. We'll just take a very interesting detour to get back here. On with the old stuff. 😊

Chapter Thirty Eight
