I doubt anyone will be interested either way, but it's likely I will not be writing or posting on Wattpad anymore. I've honestly lost interest, and want to try some other things. For now, my books will remain here, but there won't be any new material, at least for the foreseeable future.

@MarCafeWrites Don't worry. Everything has a right time. Things will get better and you will have clarity. I wish you so much good luck and happiness.

@kae-ruby Oh, for sure. And smut/trendy tropes/lgbtq will always do better than traditional stories, so I'm not suited for this platform. But thank you for such a sweet compliment!

@ShwetaSangwan9 Lol, I wish that were true! I always seem confused on the issue, to be honest.

Hey, everyone!
          Obviously, I did not qualify for the final round of ONC, as my novella is nowhere near complete. I had a couple more chapters written, so I figured I'd post them.
          
          To everyone who was able to finish and make the final deadline, I'm wishing you all the luck!!! ❤️❤️❤️

"The Countess and the Racketeer," my gangster novel set in 1925, has reached 32,000 reads! Thank you to everyone who has read it!
          
          If you enjoy crime family stories or historical fiction, check this novel out! It made the Wattys Shortlist in 2024!

Well, I never thought this would happen...
          "Carpe Noctem," the first novel I posted on Wattpad, has reached 100,000 reads! Amazing! Thank you to everyone who read it and voted for the chapters! ❤️❤️❤️

@MarCafeWrites Congrats! It appears the same way for me. My first novel is around 4.2K reads, but I'm modest ... LOL! I hardly had any readers the first time around ... I wrote it about 6 and a half years ago. Congrats too on being a Watty Winner! 
            
            Anyway, Good Luck with writing!

@MarCafeWrites I know same here! I’ve been good, working, watching my family grow. It’s always a wild ride but I love it.
            
            And I’m so glad you joined in the games!! Yay! I see your ONC story! Good luck my friend! :)

@Renaissance1111 Hey!! Last year (and so far this year) was crazy busy! How are you doing?

Maaarrrr!!! Tell me you're writing something for the ONC?? Thank you for adding The Thirteenth Jem to your reading list ✨

MarCafeWrites

@Nyhterides I'll try. I like big casts with lots of moving parts (Vengeful Creations, Bartender's Guide, Miss Otis Regrets, etc...), but it might be nice to just have four or five main characters for a change.

@MarCafeWrites put everything on pause and write! Yes, do a small cast. I was actually thinking that today, how I do enjoy writing with few characters whe

MarCafeWrites

Well, I did it!
          "Vengeful Creations" (the novel) is finished, at last!! ✨️✨️
          
          The insane holiday season really slowed me down, but I was able to mark the book "complete" tonight! Yay!
          
          Fun little factoid:
          The original novella version (from 2021) was 32,160 words, while the novel version is 68,770 words!! Whoa! Pretty amazing!
          
          Please check it out! Whether you like slice of life, historical fiction, sci-fi, paranormal/horror, fairytales, superheroes, Norse mythology, Shakespeare, video games, or romance, there is literally something for everyone in this book! ❤️

@Nyhterides Oh, do you like the cover? I'm trying it out because I'm still not sure. It's hard to choose a cover for a book that has twelve different stories in it! I appreciate the feedback! ❤️
