Hey guys! I just saw the Avatar The Last Airbender orchestra in concert, and it was so amazing! I laughed, I cried, and I had so much fun. It was a birthday gift from my mom, and I am so blessed that I was able to see it. 
          
          On another note, I know I promised that I would get the Flames edits out by mid-October, but school has been kicking my butt. I'm only at chapter five (and I'm adding more chapters), but I promise, it'll be out when I can get it done. I need to focus on school because I'm a senior in college, and I also want to write original things. This concert really inspired me, though, so hopefully I can edit more soon. 
          
          Thank you all for being so patient! I hope you have a great day / night!

Hey guys! I'm finally glad to say that I finished editing Ash [Book Two]! It took me a little over a month, but I am very pleased with what I have done for it. I hope you all love these new edits as much as me! With that being said, I'm going to take a little break from editing Flames because I am drained. I need to focus on my studies, too. Don't worry, the break will be about a week or week and a half long, but I need to think over things and allow myself to rest. Also, you may have noticed Ash is shorter this time around. I took out a few chapters and combined them at the end. I feel better about taking away those chapters. 
          
          Thank you so much for waiting so patiently! I will hopefully get the edits for Flames done by mid-October, and then I have a few surprises up my sleeve lol. I can't wait for what I have planned!
          
          Have a great day / night!

Hey guys! It's been a long time since I've posted a message on here. I'm sorry for that! I got incredibly busy over the summer, and I just didn't have the energy or the time to write any fanfiction. I had to focus on writing original stories for school, which was exciting, but also sad because I love writing these stories I have on here.
          
          Anyway, I wanted to come on here and say that I'm going to try to write more now that school has started. Somehow, I always find more time during school to write than the summer lol. However, I am entering my senior year of college, which is exciting but also nerve-wracking lol. That means that I'm going to be working extra hard at school to graduate in the summer. Still, I plan on writing more for this account (and I have already started with Ocean Magic!). 
          
          Speaking of going into my senior year, I posted a new story! I know, I'm pretty crazy with all the active stories I have out that aren't even completed yet. I'm working on those, I promise. But I wanted to post Senior Year It Up, one of my Shake It Up fanfics, because it follows the senior year shenanigans of CeCe Jones and Rocky Blue and co. It sort of felt ironic to me to post this story through my own senior year. I hope you all enjoy it!
          
          A small note those who have read Spark: I'm over halfway through editing Ash, so those edits will be up soon! I can't wait for you all to read the newest edits I have for it!
          
          I also just wanted to say thank you to all of you who continue reading my stories. These works mean the world to me, and I'm glad you're enjoying them and still reading them. I've been writing for a long time, and even though I sometimes hate what I've written or have severe imposter syndrome, your comments always raise my spirits and remind me that this isn't just a job to me, it's a passion. So thank you!
          
          Have a great day / night!

Hello Author, first of all I'd like to begin by telling you that i LOVEEE your books and they have inspired me a lot.
          
          Secondly, i would like to request you to have a look at my newly published book, ' Moonlight Shadows'. I have put my heart and soul into it and of you like it, i was hoping you could recommend it to your followers. i would be really grateful to you. please give my book a try! and try to revert back if possible.

A little note to my Spark, Ash, and Flames readers: For a few years now, I haven't been happy with the quality of my work with those three books. My sister edited Spark and Ash, but Flames hasn't been touched since it was first published. Because of this, I tried to edit them myself. It never really clicked until this past May, and I actually finished editing Spark. I'm still editing Ash right now, but I have a plan. I'm going to take down Ash, Flames, and Fire and Flame until I finish those edits, too, and just have Spark out -- with all the new edits. This is part of the surprise I mentioned in my google site, and I'm so excited for this new chapter for the Red Sky series! Thank you so much for reading, and I hope you enjoy all my new edits!
          
          All edits will come later today since I'm working all day.

Hey guys! I'm sorry for not updating or posting any messages recently lol. Camp has begun, and it's so fun to be back, but it's a lot lol. I'm also dealing with personal stuff with my family, and for the time being, I'm very stretched thin. I'm hoping things will die down a little. With that being said, I won't promise that there will be updates in the near future. I'm hoping to write here and there because I love these stories, but I don't have that much time to write. I just wanted to update you all with that! I hope everyone is enjoying their summer (if it's summer for you! if not, have a great winter (?)!) and see you soon!

Hey guys! I just wanted to let you all know that I posted a new story titled Undercurrents. This is part of my summer updating schedule, and I am so pumped for this story! It's for the show and movie series Malibu Rescue, which I fell in love with immediately after watching it lol. I hope you guys love it as much as me! 
          
          Have a great day / night!

Hey guys! Since Wattpad decided to take away the private messages (which I feel like that is not a good decision because how are we supposed to create a community on here if we can't talk to each other?), I wanted to make a website for you all to look at for me. On it, I put a little introduction to who I am (with a picture of my pets, if that's any incentive for you all lol), and I also put some sneak peaks to stories that I'm hoping to get out through the rest of the year. I created a section where I detail some of my favorite things (like songs, my own fanfics, etc), and finally, I have a blog that I'm (hopefully) going to update once every week with what I've been writing, what I've been doing with my life, what have you. I thought this would be a cool idea to do and have you all interact with me more, so I hope you like it! I wish there was a comment feature, but that's okay lol. I might make something special in the future, so stay tuned for that :)

Hey guys. I just wanted to hop on here and chat a little bit about the upcoming changes to the content moderation and the content guidelines for the age of consent for characters in the stories written on here. I've seen a lot of backlash against Wattpad itself for this, where the content guidelines will be raising the age of consent in stories to 18+ and that anything sexual may not explicitly happen with characters under the age of 18. However, it seems to me that people do not understand why these changes are happening or just what is going on at all, so I wanted to explain some things about all of this.
          
          1. Wattpad still allows mature content to happen between characters under the age of 18, just that it isn't explicitly written out. The author can allude to sexual acts between two characters as long as it's not described in any way. However, content with written sexual acts between anyone under 18 is prohibited. 
          
          2. Why now, and why this stuff in general? Wattpad is a Canadian company, and lately, the Canadian government has really been trying to crack down on child pornography and online harmful material. The New York Times states that this bill that Canada has recently passed is specifically "for content deemed to be child sexual abuse or intimate photos and videos shared without consent." Writing sexually explicit acts with anyone under the age of 18 is considered child pornography, and if Wattpad doesn't get rid of it, they will face "hefty, multimillion dollar fines" from the Canadian government. This bill is trying "to shield children from potentially harmful content" on the internet. 
          
          In short, this is not Wattpad trying to stifle anything or trying to make people angry. They are following the laws imposed by the Canadian government as they are trying to get a better control on child pornography and child trauma from reading / seeing sexually explicit actions happening with anyone under 18.
          
          I hope this helps anyone who is confused or angry.
