LauraStearns21

Me: *wants to update in every humanly way possible*
          My brain: "no"
          Me: "yes"
          My brain: "NOOOOOOOO"
          
          
          Anyway, I am (as said above) attempting to update but got a good case of writer's block. I have no idea how to end a sentence (I have now realized) but I think I'll be able to get more updates out. I also realize I have forgotten to wish everyone a Merry Christmas/ happy holidays so yes merry (belated) christmas/happy (belated) holidays! 
          also happy new year y'all  
          Yeah so have a great day/night/idk

@UnluckyClovr   tbh sometimes I'll sit at my computer and tell myself I'm not leaving until I write something-the most effective way of getting rid of writers block is just that. Artists block though, it's like wanting to draw but then your brain is like: why? I don't have a solution to artists block yet lol

@LauraStearns21 Oof that’s gotta suck- writers block, art block, etc are super annoying and it just takes time until you get inspired again.
            Good luck on it and merry late Christmas and happy new year! ^v^

Hello, y'all. I know, It's been a while. I am still alive (and still working on books), however, I wanted to come here and tell y'all something. This does not involve my publishing schedule or anything to do with books, and kind of pertains to all my UWSDWF fans (since y'all are in CH). It's officially been a year that I've been in this fandom, and I'm so glad I was able to spend it with all the wonderful writers (and my wonderful readers) part of it. this means a lot to me and is my longest, non-school-related commitment. I want to, once again, recommend a few of my favorites. First, there's the Unexpected series by Lunawolf34, it was one of the first XReader fanfics I read and is absolutely amazing! Another favorite of mine is Cherry Cola by -idiot_botanic-. This one made me laugh a lot! Game Over by SoyaBeanie was also excellent, I really loved the ending as I could relate to it a lot! One of my absolute most FAVORITE books ever was Cat Got Your Tounge? by Author-Of-Chaos. The creativity in the book was AMAZING!! These two: Parallel by StoopyOOF and Never Left by PlasticBag3207 both made me cry but were still amazing and I loved the stories with all of my authorly heart! I think one of the first-ever fanfictions I read was Sunglasses and Vodka by Lrchild235! recently read Ghost of My Future as well and it was sooooooo good!  Another one I recently finished (the author just mentioned they'll be rewriting it) is Old Countryhumans X Reader by Scp-Whirl049-it was an especially creative story that I absolutely adored! And, finally, I would like to recommend both When Winter Meets Summer by OnyxxCrow and Russian Roulette by Mirorite-I love these stories so far and I cannot wait to see how they end! Anyway, that's all I have today, I really just want to celebrate this with y'all since it's been a year since I joined this community. I'm so glad to be part of it and I hope that I can celebrate many more years in the future!
          Hope y'all have an amazing day/night!

To all my readers of Grasp the Stars-I'm currently working on the next chapter, but it might not be out for another few days; don't worry! I'll get it finished soon! 
          I'm to a point where I'm struggling with what to write, but I'm not giving up. It's just difficult because all of the important things happening in the story are a little further ahead. I'm terrible at writing fillers so it might take a little longer than usual.
          The same goes for my other stories. 
          
          
          
          
          *me just feeling bad after realizing I haven't updated since September*
          
          
          Anyway, have an awesome day/night!

I have absolutely no idea why this scared me- 
          but I found my works illegally posted to another site again and I got legitimately scared because...well that's concerning
          
          
          
          
          
          At least they credited me
          
          
          
          
          HeLp-

Hi again...sorry about the delay in writing...
          I really don't have an excuse, I've been lazy lately. I'm going to have to postpone the definite chapter for GTS another week (although I'm working on it now) and the chapter for UWSDWF is going to be out sometime between this week and next week. If not by then, assume that I'm taking a break with all my works. 
          And that CHXReader...whelp...finally some good news!!! Note: I got this idea from an unfinished CHXReader called Izabella Martel and the Trip Through Time...so go check out the chapters posted for a rough idea of what I'll be writing. It was really good and I personally wish the author had continued writing it. 
          Currently, I am working on some writing projects on the side. In addition to my school writing, I'm working on 2-3 other books right now...so, lots of stress! But I'm going to try my best to update. I can promise that.
          Anyway, I hope y'all have a great day/night!

Yooooo...So about that CHXReader....I acutally have a decent idea now so I'm going to be planning things out soon and working on my other stories as well and heres the schedule  I currently have"
          Grasp The Stars:
          Work on plot and other author notes (no chapter update this week) 
          UWSDWF:
          Work on chapter and reassess where the story is going (get some general idea of what the fuck I'm doing)
          TBR:
          On hold (plot rearrangement) 
          That CHXReader (plot development, maybe out by next week or the week after)
          
          I'm going to try to work on everything a little bit this week, but like I said, I'm really busy with everything so I'm not quite sure how far I'll get. But, I promise, I'm going to try as hard as I can to get everything accomplished by the deadlines I've set and if not-then the updates might come a little bit later. 
          Anyway, have a nice day/night!

Hey y'all! School started this week so I'll be updating less. This week I only have a few assignments but I'm still super busy so I'll try working on chapters for both UWSDWF and GTS. TBR (The Bacteria Returns) is currently on hold, since I have no idea where to go from where I started. I think I'm going to rewrite it (again) and adjust the beginning a little bit so it's closer to the actual plot I mapped out. 
          As far as that CHXReader I was thinking of posting-I'm going to wait on that one for a while. My schedule is even busier because of other activities and my classes since they're both quite stressful. I'm still going to update, but it's going to be more like myself getting ideas and posting a few chapters before going silent for a little while again. I promise that once we get around to our breaks (which are extremely short this year) I'll update more.  
          Anyway, have a nice day/night y'all!!

Heya! I'm on vacation right now so I might not update, however, I'm working on parts of some books right now.
           Anyway, I came to alert all Wattpad authors who see this message; there's a site that's illegally copying your works. 
          It's called teenfic.net if you want to check it out (put in your Wattpad username and all your works will come up).
          To explain, they have given credit to the authors who wrote these books, HOWEVER, you (I'm sure) were not asked for permission to copy your works to this site. 
          There is a petition to get rid of this website. You can sign it here: https://www.change.org/p/ivan-yuan-shut-down-teenfic-net?signed=false 
          (you will have to copy and paste into your web browser) 
          
          Finally, a little warning to those curious minds like me: teenfic.net has a load of viruses, spam, and other malware, so beware. If you click on any of the pop-ups (I suggest you do not allow push notifications if on mobile, it makes it worse), make sure to return to the original page. Following any of the instructions onscreen (unless you have built-in security features) will more than likely infect your device with malware or get you into bad situations. 
          
          
          Anyway, I hope y'all have a great day/night!
