Hello everyone!
The very long one shot I was working on is finally out in my Tales book! It's called After East Hill: The Psychology of Discipline and it's very weird and different but I think that some of y'all will still enjoy it!

The main reason that For Forever is on hiatus right now is because, while Hazel, Raven, and Skie are easy to write and have a clear story, Lil and Daisy are proving to be very difficult. I think that’s mainly because Skie and Rave originally appeared in longer stories, while Dai and Lil were always short story characters, so their personalities were very situational rather than fleshed out.
Just reread For Good and I might update a few of the first chapters but it’s absolutely my favorite book I’ve written, I think. It’s certainly the best in terms of plot structure, anyway.
The one issue with it is that it used a Lot of the themes that I should have used in FTW and TAW but wasn’t able to pull off yet as a writer, but now that I’m rewriting those two stories I’m having to change quite a few things around. Especially in TAW, that book is a blight upon my life currently lmao
Currently rewriting Creek and Take Me Instead from Lil's perspective, I might post the full thing at some point but will probably use some of it for flashbacks first when I redo Thin As Water
@TSPR810 No you're good! I absolutely love that you care about my characters so much!! I don't know if it would end up being canon but if I come up with a fun idea for it I'll def write it!
@AkiHaze I was thinking of something where Hazel gets in actual big trouble, (Ik uncharacteristic for her) maybe during her final year and that is when we see her parents. I am sorry if I am being an ass, it is just my stupid neurodivergent brain doesn't know how to stop thinking. Waiting excitedly for whatever you write next :)
whenever I rewrite TAW i need to give Skie something to do because regardless of how we leave off in FTB it really doesn't make sense for her to be the next head girl
By this I mean we need her to be more confident in herself (at least a bit) because head girls are supposed to have leadership potential or whatever and that’s not necessarily who Skie is as a person. It would make far more sense for Hannah or Dani to do it and honestly at this rate Skie is absolutely chosen by Hazel having too much influence LOL. Don’t get me wrong I think Skie is a great head girl but she needs to prove that a bit.
Hello!
New chapter in Tales today called Night Light. It's the story of how Hazel and Daisy became friends and is very soft and cute, in my personal opinion. Thank you all for reading!

I'm baaaaack!
New chapter today in my Tales of EHPA book called "With Friends Like These" which is a bit of Hazel backstory (like, 9 year old Hazel). Check it out now, and a lot more to come soon!

You know a one shot is going to be good when we're four pages in and Hazel is still giving exposition
honestly this one is really weird. I'm still going to post it because I'm putting far too much time into it, but it's definitely not like my normal stuff.
yeah this is gonna be a fun non-canon one for sure but i think some of yall will really like it
I have been writing SO MUCH for For Forever y'all aren't ready
Guys I’m thinking about Haven againnnnnn
on that note this is also changing the end of FTB slightly bc Hazel telling Raven she has anxiety is news to absolutely No One, Hazel is a walking ball of anxiety and ADHD and all of her friends are entirely aware of it.
Raven's main character thing currently is that she's incapable of opening up to people and surely this won't be a problem for hazel jamison, teen therapist.
there's gonna be angst when I restart FF and yall are NOT ready
I think I might change the Haven timeline slightly, I realized that the end of For The Better is like, 3 months before they get together and I think they need a little more time. I think one of them probably *comes out* that summer (probably Hazel) but I don’t think they actually start dating until closer to the end of TAW
