@Carlie Kramer yes in the end I kept all three - it cost a little extra to have the third one edited but worth it. 😃

Here’s my favorite one, edited -thanks for all the suggestions! I got all three done so will share them another time.

I picked this up a few years ago-finally getting around to it!

I'll put my pitch here, since I like seeing things in writing before I fully get on board with it. AFTER EVERYTHING After Everything is a branching women's fiction novel based on the childhood choose-your-own-adventure series. In a terrible accident the day before her college graduation, Cora loses her beloved mother and gains a quadriplegic father. She spends the next four decades as his caregiver, while also raising a daughter, managing a dysfunctional marriage and slowly disappearing into a life of service that she did not choose. When her father dies and her divorce is final, Cora is sixty years old and completely free for the first time. The choices in After Everything begin the moment she's finally free, and asks the reader to make the decisions she never got to make.. What Cora does with her newfound freedom depends entirely on who she's become and what happens along the way. Readers make a variety of choices that lead to eight different endings. The question of what a woman will do with sudden freedom doesn't have just one answer. Designed to be read more than once, each path through the book reveals a different Cora, a different life, and a different answer.

I started writing mine in 1998 and published in May 2026. It took being on bed rest and going through another round of hard core job hunting to finally realize that I had knowledge to share and the time to do it.

@Brittney Dunnigan I’m questioning my sanity

I have changed a bunch and am excited to tell you guys about it tomorrow!
