BTW- Have any of you check out- Wagered to the Duke by @Jasminethe1st?

          	If you like the still very popular and hot Netflix show "Bridgerton" I'd say run not walk to add "Wagered to the Duke" A Victorian Romance to your TBR of Currently Reading list! 
          	It's got the Ton, a devilishly handsome rich, powerful Duke with a notorious playboy reputation in London who you'd think cannot be tamed....until he encounters a young spirited woman and well, you'll have to read it to find out heh heh. 
          	It's got parental disapproval towards a union, cat fight level drama between the ladies vying for the Duke's attention, and a sweet blossoming romance between the Duke and someone that no one thought he'd end up with. I also particularly enjoy the clashing personalities between the calm cool and collected always in control Duke and his two gentleman best friends who are the opposite. 
          	It's ongoing but we are on the brink of seeing some true heat between the Duke and his lady and then she added a whole other layer of unexpected story line which again you'll have to read and find out. 
          	
          	I'll tell you I personally watched Bridgerton Season 1 and exited stage left because the whole Ton and Diamond of the Season thing was not my cup of tea and yet I have really enjoyed @Jasminethe1st Duke and Lady story. So I think you will too. 
          	
          	Check out the link, read the synopsis and then venture to read even the first chapter. I don't think you'll be disappointed!
          	
          	@Jasminethe1st- I am soooo looking forward to your coming chapters! Thank you for writing an awesome read!

Comparing my story to Bridgerton is already wild enough, but saying you loved mine more?? I’m genuinely stunned and so, so grateful. Thank you for believing in my book the way you do ✨

Happy 2026 my little corner of Wattpad! 
          Hope everyone is off to a creative start where the words are flowing, imagination is vibrating (I know, not a word lol) and the ideas that you can't wait to get started on are popping up like dandelions! 
          
          I have been making a little writing goal for myself everyday to ensure I am holding myself to my promise to post 2 chapters of my 2 ongoing stories monthly. I am working 8 days straight 3 days of which were Inventory (iykyk if not it's a lot of physical labor and waking up at 3 am he he) but having a goal of what scene to write up to is keeping me motivated and feeling good so for those in a similar situation, try it, little goals are EVERYTHING!  
          
          That's my "TED" Talk for the day! 
          Happy writing, Happy reading, happy community building and happy genuinely supporting! 
          Till next time, Unapologetically yours, 
          
          Jenn

@JenniferEnglehardt  Happy 2026, Jenn!
            Thank you so much for sharing this—it genuinely made my day. Your dedication, especially while juggling long, physically demanding days, is incredibly inspiring. Showing up for your stories the way you do takes real commitment, and it truly shows how much heart you pour into your writing.
            
            Your reminder about small daily goals is everything. It’s such a powerful way to stay grounded, motivated, and kind to ourselves creatively. Please know that your words, your consistency, and your openness uplift more people than you probably realize.
            
            Wishing you strength, creative flow, and moments of pride with every scene you write. So grateful to be part of the same community as you. Cheering you on always—keep shining ✨

@selena20598 you are the bestest! Your kindness warmth via posts and your stories uplift me more than you know. If I have been able to give back any portion of what you give me I am honored and humbled.

@JenniferEnglehardt Very happy to read this! I've written 18,000 words in the last 18 days, and I've written every single day in 2026. Keep going! You are so right, little goals will get you where you want to go. Working a lot can definitely become an obstacle, which is why I write everyday after breakfast. If you can turn writing into a ritual, then it becomes easier to ease into it daily.
