One year ago today, I met my wonderful fiancé--and in ten days, he'll be my husband <3
          
          And what a year it's been! We like to talk to each other about our writing projects (even if they're just in the idea stage, like my current one is.) I've been reading Gravity Rises out loud to him, and he's been reading Fellowship of the Ring out loud to me. (He is obsessed with with Lord of the Rings, and I love that about him.) Have we gotten very far into either? No, but we'll have the rest of our lives to finish reading all of GR and LOTR :)
          
          (Btw, so far his favorite Gravity Rises character is Gideon Northwest. It makes sense, bc my fiancé is ISTP, and Gideon is INTP. As a teenager I would not have imagined my ENFP self marrying an ISTP, but now I'm so excited to.)
          
          I can't make any promises about when I'll post content on this account again, but I definitely want to get back into writing regularly. Before that, though, I'm going to go get married and enjoy my honeymoon (which will include watching the solar eclipse that'll be visible over North America :D). Bye for now! <3

@ShadowDreamers Hello there! It's great to talk to you again! Crazy to think that I joined Wattpad eleven years ago. You and I had some good times back then. Thanks for your well wishes <3

@brnstin If you have an idea for a story, I encourage you to write it! It can be so fun to write a story that you want to be out there :)

@BrightnessWings19 It has been a really long time. I've logged in for the first time in years out of curiosity and wow! Congrats. How time passes, huh? Good luck with your marriage.

Hi there! You may not remember me, since we've only interacted once and it was about MBTI and it's correlations with your Gravity Rises characters a few years back-
          
          So we are essentially just random strangers to each other- BUT that will not stop me from giving you well-wishes!
          
          I can't believe my favourite fanfic author from a few years back is getting married, I'm so happy for you! Truly, the stories you have given me the blessings to read has shaped my own character in life as a whole. Although it may be too simple at first glance, the lessons in the stories you wrote have truly been part of the things that helped me navigate life. I just want to thank you so much for that.
          
          I don't know you personally, and I'm sure you have been through so many things for these past few years, both ups and downs, but I am so glad to see that one of my favourite authors in Wattpad is still doing well!
          
          And I saw that you said that you're writing a new book? You can definitely bet that I'll be reading that once it comes out! Please don't rush it and make sure to always take care of yourself first! I know how exhausting writing can be, but I'm genuinely looking forward to reading your stories again!
          
          Thank you so much for everything that you've indirectly done to my life, I truly wish the best for you and I'm proud to see how much you've grown in life! Cheers!

@GRIMMETH Hello hello! I'm finally responding to this two months later :P It's good to hear from you, though!! I miss writing GR, but I'm enjoying reading it to my fiancé, and I'm so glad that other people are still enjoying it too :) I have so many ideas for my new book, and right now they'll quietly growing in my brain, but I'm sure someday they'll burst out of me onto the page, and I can't wait to share the story with people when that happens. Thanks for your well wishes, and I wish you the best as well!!

          me when my friend's fifteen-pound shaggy Maine Coon pushes up against me: mmph move I'm drowning in your fur

the Maine Coon just wants to be my friend but she's also knocking me over with her affection :P

me: I should really work on my novel. That'd be nice.
          
          my wedding that I need to be planning: *taps foot impatiently*
          
          me: oh, right

@BrightnessWings19 You're fine, really. Most writers run from their novels like they'd run for their lives if they were in danger

arguments I did not expect to have with my fiancé: whether or not Hallmark Christmas movies have any artistic storytelling value
          
          
          
          (he was saying absolutely not and I was saying the formula works so consistently because it speaks to a universal human theme of love and connection)
          
          (but then again, he was forced to watch the obnoxious movies as a child, and I was not)

me: *making pained facial expressions as I write an emotional scene and imagine the feelings of my characters*
          
          my fiancé, sitting nearby: um... are you okay??

@BrightnessWings19 Relatable moments of a writer. Especially when it's all on angst, like a huge argument or a heartbreaking betrayal.
