Heyy loves! As you may know, I took down my old novels (including The Red Ribbon) and have been generally inactive on Wattpad. The site has simply changed and with age, I’ve outgrown it, but for those interested, I’m still very much a serious writer and plan to self-publish my debut novel in 2024!!
          
          I am much more active on my instagram writing account (which features both writing advice posts + wip content), so if you’re interested in keeping up with me and my future writing content, follow me @gracieewrites on instagram!

Hi, there! I started reading The Red Ribbon, and it seems really interesting, well-developed, and well-written (even though I'm only two chapters in). 
          
          I was curious about something—the blurb for Liar, Liar is really intriguing to me, but I saw that you marked that sexual violence was part of the reason it was marked explicit. I just wanted to know how explicit it is in that regard... did you you include it in the warning just because it might bother some people, or are there scenes of that sort of thing in detail? 
          
          Thanks!

i love you and i’m so proud of you please always remember that 

After 5 months of writing and stressing and over a year of being with these characters and connecting to their stories, I have finally finished the first draft of my duology's final book. DHJSJDBESJB. It honestly doesn't feel real, I could barely write the epilogue coherently, but it's finally done and I am RELIEVED. (I mean, I'm technically not done cuz I need to go back and tweak the epilogue and edit the whole book, but the first draft is finally lifting its weight off my shoulders and I'm gonna go celebrate by eating some ice cream now. ;) )

First off, thank you so much for 500 reads already! You guys are amazing! :)
          
          Secondly, Letter 2 has been released. I believe Letter 3 will also be released mid-week, with Letter 4 (the final letter), being the only one that is released as a chapter on a regular Saturday.

In light of Mother's Day tomorrow, I thought it would be fitting to remind you guys of a "Liar, Liar" update, in which Mother's Day is a VERY important day for the characters (*wink, wink* if you know, you know). If you guys don't know what I'm talking about, maybe check out the first chapter. ;)
          
          Happy Early Mother's Day!

I know it's not Saturday, my usual updating day, but "Letter 1" of Liar, Liar has just been released! Since it is short, I decided to publish it today. Chapter 8 will continue to be posted on Saturday like usual, but the updating schedule for the letters will be a bit different.
          
          The letters are written by Ashley from the psychiatric hospital to her younger son, Rowan. There are 4 in total, most of which are chapter-length, but slightly shorter.
          
          Although Letter 1 is released mid-week in between regular chapter updates, I cannot guarantee future letters will be like that. So that means that for some future letters, regular chapters will be post-poned on Saturday and replaced by the updates of long letters. Just a heads up to let you guys know what to expect. Enjoy reading! Ashley's letters are one of the most revealing, fascinating parts of the story :)

@GnomeMercy Lol, that's very true. That's how I managed to get over it. He was wayyy too good for Alina. Honestly, I think he's way too good for everyone, but Zoya can convince me otherwise if I continue KoS. (I got spoiled on the ending. I wonder what Leigh Bardugo plans to do with that, cuz it seems...repetitive? Like bringing back old things that should've been in the past, so I'm curious as to why she chose that route.)
          
          Oooh, yes, read Opal first! I can send it to you through the DMs, if you want, cuz it's an e-book, not a physical story. Trusttt me, Call Down the Hawk is sooo good. I'm waiting impatiently for the second book (which Maggie has luckily finished writing already).

@GnomeMercy Lol, I stopped reading King of Scars cuz it was lowkey boring. I tried to continue, but just didn't have the motivation. When the second book comes out, I'll probably try to read it again.
          
          Yesss, Call Down The Hawk, in my opinion, is better than all the TRC books combined, probably cuz I loved the Lynch brothers so much and always found the dreaming the most interesting aspect, so having it focused on in a whole trilogy is ideal. There's going to be a TV show that's still in development.
          
          Lol, I actually liked Alina, cuz her personality and thought process was pretty relatable (she made me angry a lot tho). I actually hard-core shipped her and Mal in the first book, but then Nikolai came into the picture and I abandoned that almost immediately cuz compared to him, they ARE bland. I was so angry with her when she rejected Nikolai that I had to stop reading for a while, lol.

@GnomeMercy Also, what are your thoughts on the Alina and that love square? I shipped her with Nikolai so hard, cuz he's like so perfect and she would've had to be an idiot not to fall in love with him.
