Happy April! It has been a few months since I popped on here to chat with all of you. How is everyone? How is 2026 treating everyone?
          
          For those of you who didn't know, April is actually the anniversary of the original publishing of Alone! April 15th makes Alone officially 12-years-old. I feel OLD typing that, lol. In honor of the anniversary, I was inspired to start working on it again. I'll be honest - I haven't wrote anything outside of poetry in over a year. I've solely been focused on my career as a poet outside of fanfiction and other projects. I'm very excited to jump into it, though! I really hope to bring the Alone you all know and love back. 
          
          In the meantime, if you're looking for a new read, I do have my poetry collection, Melancholy, published!

alone was one of my favorite books in 2016 are you ever going to republish the original version again? or the current one you’re rewriting bc i’d love to reread it all again 

Melancholy is back! Please feel free to share some love on this collection ❤️ I’m so excited to have this book back up on here for all of you! I’d love to hear all your thoughts!

          If you’re a fan of sad poetry tackling topics like heartache, grief, loss, and the trials of love, consider checking out my work! ✨

Last chance to have a dedication in Melancholy! I’ll be republishing it later today ❤️ If you’re interested, comment below!

I’ll be going through my following + doing an unfollowing spree to clean up years worth of bots and inactive accounts. Leave me a comment if you’d like me to continue following you (or start following you!) ❤️

I finally picked out a republishing date for Melancholy. Mark your calendars for Sunday, February 1st! Melancholy will be republished that day and will be updated weekly every Sunday <3

Hi, friends! Happy Friday. I wanted to keep you guys in the loop as I work on projects. Currently, the first book I plan to republish is my poetry collection, Melancholy. If you're interested in having a dedication in that book, please leave a comment below! I'll be sure to include you in the tags <3
          
          I'm digging deep into this collection, revamping every part of it, including the cover! I'm so grateful I held onto that last spark of motivation for this community. I'm so beyond excited to return and dedicate my time to the stories that deserve to be shared!

Hello, friends! I was hoping to get your help in deciding what stories I should bring back to Wattpad in 2026. The two I'm guaranteeing to bring back are Alone & Melancholy. Below, I'll list some drafted stories I have interest in bringing back:
          
          - Sad Girl Hours (My miscellaneous book sharing story times, questionnaires, and rants)
          
          - Scarlett (My original tragic romance about a young writer in NYC surviving through grief)
          
          - Nothing More (The prequel to Alone featuring Tess + Trevor)
          
          - Ignite (My 'House of Wax' fanfiction)
          
          - The Original Version of Alone (The 2014 version you all know + love)
          
          OR if you remember a story of mine not mentioned, and would like to see it come back, please feel free to let me know below! I would love to start sharing my stories with others again + have missed my Wattpad community <3

2026 is the new 2016. I miss the 2016 Wattpad era every single day, so I'm making it a mission to bring back that energy this year. I am working on revamping my entire account to fit the writing I share + the person I've grown into. I hope you all are excited for the change! I'm hoping to bring a lot of my stories back to my account in the coming weeks / months. So excited <3

Hello, and happy December, friends! I’ll be honest — I’m not even sure there’s still an audience that exists on this account that pays attention to these messages. Still, for those who still read what I share on here, I wanted to offer some updates.
          
          I haven’t been active on Wattpad since June 2025. Between a lack of motivation, a lack of time, and a lack of engagement, I took a step back from Wattpad, because it wasn’t benefiting me or my writing journey any longer. With so many projects and opportunities coming my way, it has made Wattpad crawl further and further towards the back burner. This past year, I’ve been putting more of my energy into platforms like Instagram, Threads, Facebook, and TikTok, which has been a wonderful experience. I have met so many amazing creatives + friends throughout these last few months, and have grown my community to new heights!
          
          For the time being, I have unpublished Alone + Melancholy. I love both of these books dearly, and want to see them receiving the writing and editing they both deserve. Currently, I’m off work for the holidays, so I’m planning on using some of my time today to go through both books, my account, etc. I’d love to revamp it and bring it back to life,  to hopefully reignite a bit of my passion for Wattpad and fanfiction all together.
