Hello. I am alive and doing well, just tired. I am still working on the rewrite of Backstage. I don't know when it will be done, but to give you an idea, I have the last 4 chapters in various editing stages ranging from "fix these paragraphs" to "figure out what to write." In the meantime I am also working on a couple of short stories, D&D inspired. During the years of my minimal Wattpad activity, I've also been writing songs for my D&D characters. Let me know if you'd be interested in listening to them. Thank you for sticking with me, and I hope you are doing well.

Thanks for taking a look at my work  :  )

Heyy! Been a few years haha but hope ur doing well. 
          
          I don't write on here anymore but just was going through some of my old works and reflected on your support for my 2 treasures. Just wanted to come back and say thank you again! You're support will always mean the most to me, and I genuinely wish you the best for your writing too. Its not the easiest trying to reach an audience of readers who will stick to your work when ur a little aspiring teenage writer like I was. And I appreciate every single person, especially you, who stuck by me! Also sorry I randomly disappeared one day haha  u know life kinda gets in the way sometimes. 
          Hope everything is good with u tho x
          Also hope u see this, haha!

Keychains is featured on WP's @ContemporaryLit profile. Here is an interview I did if you want to know a bit more about my book: https://www.wattpad.com/1357615002-contemporarylit%27s-botm-keychains-%E2%9C%94-by-jh_foliage
          
          It is wild that several years after writing and readers finishing my novel, it is still on someone's radar. Crazy. I am quite happy. I hope you are having a good day.

Hello, again. 1st year of uni is over for me though I'll have a part time job and summer school to juggle with. I'm gonna try to catch up with some of your works while I warm up my writing skills to take another stab at Backstage. Since the winter break I've gotten a bit closer to knowing how it will end - I am not good at climaxes but I think I can deliver an ending that at least ties up everything you'd want to know. I technically have 20 chapters done and 10 chapters left to go but 3 of those 10 chapters are like 80% done....it's a bit of a mess everywhere. 
          
          If you've updated on a book and I haven't gotten to it in the next couple of weeks, do feel free to message me a reminder. This year has been rather overwhelming and I'm learning how to sort of relax again. 
          
          Thank you. I hope you are doing well.

          Thank you. I am in uni and I don't think I'll have time to sit down and write until after the school year is over.

Oh dear it's been a long time since I've posted something. Oops. 
          
          I wish I could say that I'm ready to post Backstage, but alas a new idea has popped into my mind that actually has me excited to write. So now I am writing a third draft. 
          
          It's not going to rewrite *everything* but the small changes add up over time to the book's final third chunk - which keeps changing, so that's absolutely wonderful for plotting. 
          
          But I am still here. Still working on it. I think I will post everything as a separate work (different from the backstage draft I already have) so readers aren't confused. 
          
          It's been an up and down process where I was tempted - and still am - to scrap everything. Thank you for your enduring patience.

Hello dear readers, 
          
          The time has come where I will start to edit Backstage. My gameplan is that once I finish editing the magic system (Tai's power has to change because right now it's counter intuitive to his arc and also it just took me really long to figure out what his story is), you will only need to re-read chapter 4 for the exposition, and some select chapters where things changed (and I'll be introducing a new character who I feel will enhance the story down the road). I will also provide a detailed summary document, for whichever is preferred. 
          
          I am not going to take down backstage. However once I finish editing, I will edit the already published parts.
          
          Thank you so much for your understanding! Backstage has been a challenging project.

I started a fanart collection on Wattpad to hopefully help out other wattpad authors whose works deserve to have more readers. It'll get updated sporadically as I read books in preparation of overhauling backstage. 
          
          Please go and read @NefertitiFenison's books. Her novels are hugely underrated (and I don't mean that oh she only has 5k views - no like literally she has very few) and they are exactly what you need when you're having a rough day. https://www.wattpad.com/1227084987-fanart-nefertitifenison%27s-characters
