Author's Notes: Writer's Block

So as you probably got from the title I have a bad case of writer's block. I was on a roll, hitting my goal for getting you guys a post a week and then bam! nada. That little cursor is blinking mocking me, I tried a couple exercises that sometimes help, nope. I know where I want to go, but the words just aren't there at the moment. As much as it disappoints me to do so, I'm going to take a step back and work on some other projects that have been pestering. Maybe once I get that out of my system I'll be able to come back and get back to work.

The author of the blog gave me a three, and really the worst thing that was said, " This is a 10 page sho...

The Survivalistas- Book 3: Piper- Chapter 11 - Part 3 - The End

**** “You’re sure your sisters ok?” Piper forced a smile at the older woman with the kids, and nodded. “Yeah I over reacted.” Truth was she didn’t know if Mica was ok or not. It had been several hours since they had saved Sofia and her family. Finding the woman’s husband and brother-in-law tied up in the stores office. She had yet to learn the families whole story but at the moment didn’t care. Her mind was whirling with the possibility that Ava had a cure to this horrible epidemic. Sofia spoke catching her attention again, “one of the men who brought us here was bitten. He became sick within an hour, died and came back in under three. His friends tried to lock him in the freezer not wanting to kill him and it didn’t work out so well. Overnight they had all changed and came after us. I’m just saying…” “I get it.” Piper snapped, getting to her feet. “I’m going to check on my friends.” Stalking away, Piper felt bad she knew the older woman was just trying to help but if her calculations...
