FYI, just to ruin some people's day, this would have been Lenny Bruce's 100th birthday
          	
          	(And while we're on the topic, a Dear Valentina update is coming eventually. I've just been very, very busy.)

The latest chapter of DEAR VALENTINA has finally been posted. It's a long one so strap yourself in. Link is here: https://www.wattpad.com/1096333160-dear-valentina-%E2%94%81%E2%94%81-the-marvelous-mrs-maisel-%E2%98%86

Rest in Peace Tom Lehrer! It was announced earlier today that he died at the age of 97
          
          He's been featured in Dear Valentina in flashback sequences and will continue to make appearances in the future (specifically season five, if my outline stays fairly concrete). He's one of my favorite satirical comedians from that era and if you haven't listened to his songs, I highly recommend them.
          
          He also invented the Jell-O Shot, which is pretty badass

@Monrox i heard this news last night and immediately thought of dear valentina. it was you and that story that introduced me to tom lehrer, and i remember listening to “poisoning pigeons in the park” for the first time. RIP to a genius!

Also, I'm aware of how extremely late I am with a Dear Valentina update. I'm nearly done writing the chapter, so all I'll have to do afterwards is edit. It's a long chapter, which I think is warranted considering it's been a while. Stay tuned!

Hello all! I've just published the latest chapter for DEAR VALENTINA. Now I know this coincides with the release of 'Sunrise on the Reaping' but I firmly believe I can share the same place with Ms. Suzie Collins
          
          Enjoy!

An interlude for Dear Valentina has been published. Technically not necessary to read for the story moving forward, but I think it adds some cool insight.

          Also, happy MLK Jr Day for all my American followers! That's the only type of celebration we have today. There's absolutely no inauguration going on.  I don't know her.

Hey everyone! I'm a little late to the game, because I've been offline recently. I've been finishing up the semester while also taking care of my family, who are all very sick at the moment (flu season - you know how it goes).
          
          But I just heard the big announcement...I'VE BEEN NOMINATED FOR THE 2024 ARMAGEDDON AWARDS! Specifically, Dear Valentina has been nominated in the "Best Sit-Com Fic" category! This is truly beyond flattering and a real moment of pride for me considering how much work/planning I do for that story. I truly aim to make reading Dear Valentina incredibly entertaining for my readers.
          
          Thank you to the people who nominated me and who have voted for this story already! If anyone would like to vote (deadline is December 23rd), I have attached a link (please read the rules beforehand).
          
          I also want to give a shout-out to another amazing author who happens to be nominated in the same category, @starryeyedturtle. Imogen is incredibly sweet and talented, and I'm glad we get to share this exciting news together.

Also...shout-out to @aesflms for organizing this event. Not only does it promote healthy comraderies in the reading community, but allows for people to meet new creators and read new stories. I love it! How creative of an idea. And they seem to be putting in A LOT of effort and time into making sure everything's being handled fairly - so kudos, because I could never put in the level of time and dedication <3
