If you're looking for a heartfelt, feel-good, slice of life story about two people that feel so real you'll swear you know them, you must give "Mind the Gap" by @EvelynHail a read! Over the course of this unique story (told from the perspectives of the adorably opposite Iris and Evan), I experienced every emotion in my spectrum, and I left the story's end with a light heart and a big dopey smile. Well done, Evelyn! This book is one of a kind! ❤️

@Nyhterides Things have been very difficult this year, so writing more than one book is probably not going to happen. Thanks for thinking of me!

@moon_fabler Honestly? Not good. Things have not been going well the past several months.

I recently had the opportunity to finish "Freakshow Friday" by the incredibly talented @bigfivedonaldduckfan. This novel is a sequel to "Witchcraft Wednesday," which won a 2024 Watty Award (so, make sure you read that book first — it's well worth your time!)
           #WW was everything I love in a novel: fully fleshed-out relatable characters, an easy to follow yet intriguing storyline, some scares, some shocks, some laughs, some amazing WTF moments, and a whole lot of heart! Yet, somehow, #FF did it better. I didn't think it was possible, but the sequel far surpassed the original, keeping all the likable components, but amplifying them, and adding some new ones that I didn't know I needed until the words were on the page in front of me.
          
          I'll give no spoilers, but this is one of the best books I've read on Wattpad. Period. A true masterpiece. Trust me, you need some Jamie & Nathan in your life! ✨️✨️

Hi there, Mar! It's been a while. Again, haha. I've been swamped with work, so I'm super grateful for the year-end break approaching! Can't wait to catch up on my favorite book, “Where The Sakura Bloom”! 
          
          I'm really glad to see you've taken some time for yourself and hope you're doing well. ❤️
          
          It breaks my heart to read your profile description. Have you ever thought about sharing some of your work on Ko-fi for small donations? (I am not very familiar with it, but I have come across writers/artists who use it.) And I bet you have readers who would love to support you! 
          
          If you do look into it and decide to give it a go, let us know! Beautifully crafted stories deserve appreciation, especially considering the time and effort you pour into every chapter.

@Honey__Addict Hi! So nice to hear from you! And thanks for the activity on WTSB! If only has about three readers, so I really appreciate that. ❤️  (Though, there's NO WAY it's your favorite book! It's not even one of my best, let alone one of the best on the platform!)
            
            Ah, yes... Well, what I mean by "marketable" in my profile bio is that none of my stories fit neatly into those extremely limited "verticals" Wattpad thinks are so important, therefore I will never be successful on this platform. I tried. I gave Wattpad almost five years of my best writing, and nothing. Nothing in return. So, I'm just over it. I'll finish posting WTSB (because if I don't, I will never finish this 20+ year project), but I highly doubt I'll be writing anything new here after that. I'm tired of getting overshadowed by underdeveloped cliché cookie-cutter stories about alphas, and CEOs, and the mafia. So, I'm done.

Hey, Mar. I was just on my way here to say hi because I haven't talked to you for a while and saw you're on hiatus. Hope all's well!

@MarCafeWrites your friends and followers will notice. Yes, I'm on Discord. Can I find you from the name you use here?

@Nyhterides Trust me, no one will notice if I stop writing. My books aren't "marketable," so no one cares about them.
            
            I'm on Discord, if you do that.

@MarCafeWrites it sucks we no longer have DMs. I really, really hope you stay but you know what's best for you. Your friends want you here! I think people haven't noticed because many people don't come on much anymore. I know folks want the old vibe back.
