And if I finally finish my rewrite of POYH that I started summer of 2023… 
          	
          	My brain is bouncing between ideas right now and I feel as if it’s time I rework Piece of Your Heart. This is one of my only works I have never done a re-read of. I know this is how some of you found me so I will treat the story very delicately and leave the old version up, as requested in years past. 
          	
          	For now, the new version will be published on my AO3, UnlostDrarry. I highly recommend checking my account out if you haven’t already. There’s one or two stories up on there that haven’t made their way to wattpad, and AO3 always gets my most polished versions. 
          	
          	With that being said, I’m still working on the next chapter of One Night Stand You! I’ve hit a bit of a road block in terms of writing after getting 3k words in so bear with me. 
          	
          	Happy pride month everyone!! I know the world is in a delicate state right now and there is so much going on, but I truly wish you all the best. You’re all valid despite what the uneducated may try to make you feel <3
          	
          	All of my love as always, 
          	J <3

Hi everyone, here’s your quarterly “the author is still alive” post. Thank you to everyone who’s left me kind comments/messages, I’ve truly appreciated it. There’s still lots going on in my personal life that I’m working through, but things should be a little bit brighter and a little bit easier next week. 
          
          I’ve written a little bit of the next chapter of One Night Stand You, my latest Wolfstar story. For the first time in months, I’ve finally written a brand new Drarry idea down! Inspiration has been severely lacking lately due to current circumstances, so it was so nice to be able to finally catch a glimpse of that old spark. 
          
          Wishing you all the best, and I’m hoping to return sooner rather than later. 
          
          J <3

@gloomybunii smooth seas don’t make good sailors or whatever Neck Deep said. I actually hit a nice little patch tonight and the next Wolfstar chapter now has over 2500 words written for it. I miss writing so much so being able to write again today really helped. I’m going to write again until I fall asleep

Thank you so much, I really appreciate it  I actually just wrote down my first brand new Drarry story idea. Super short idea but I haven’t thought of anything new in months, it was so nice to be able to jot something down. I’m hoping to have something new posted by the beginning of July, that’s my goal <3

I had a thought last night 
          
          it went something like this
          
          authors are really cool people
          especially ones who write stuff that I like
          like MEZAMUN (AO3, Pokémon shit)
          and Jen
          Jen's really cool
          Imagine if she was a genuine author 
          That would be so cool
          I would pay to read a genuine Jen novel with real characters 
          Literally even just ghosts and ISTTIMI but OCs 
          
          imagine if that were possible 
          
          and then I remembered audiobooks exist
          and so does self-publication
          
          
          anyway just a thought for maybe a better time than now - I hope you're doing better than 3 weeks ago!

unfortunately my twitter account got banned a while ago... something about inciting violence against CEOs (all I said was 'the sad thing is that people feel the need to go all Luigi just to get healthcare), but I'm pretty active on Reddit and Discord, and I do have an AO3 as well

Here is an almost 6k long Drarry update. I poured my actual heart and soul into this. I’m sorry that I don’t have a set updating schedule, and honestly I don’t expect that I’ll have one soon. 
          
          There’s a lot going on with my work and personal life that’s resulted in me looking for a new job, and it’s just a lot right now. Please send thoughts/prayers/positive vibes because I really need them right now. 
          
          I’m wishing you all the best though, I hope you like the direction that the story is going!

I'm wishing the very best for you and I hope things begin to look up for you soon. Please don't push yourself to give what you can not right now.  Prayerfully an awesome new job that meets all and above your needs will find you very soon.

@SettleDown1D it’ll get better soon i promise! It just takes time and please don’t push yourself too hard . I love reading your writing sooo much Don’t stress too much on updates please try to care of yourself first  i hope you find the right job for you. Sending lots of hugs

@Pearlshipper12345 I’m so glad to hear that because honestly I had no idea where that story was going. I was writing and then suddenly Draco is moving in to strengthen the wards which was NOT my initial plan, but here we are. 
            
            Hugs are needed honestly because I am constantly going through it  other than posting updates for all of you, I love writing for ME. I have hundreds of ideas in my notes that will probably never see the light of day, but I write them anyway. 
            
            I need wattpad to bring back the messaging feature asap because I miss interacting with everyone and not having conversations on my profile. Idk if you have twitter but if you do follow me and send me a message and we can chat! @slowburndrarry I hope you’re doing better than you were last week!

New Wolfstar one shot is up! Still fighting for my life in the world but chapter 4 of my latest Drarry story is in progress. 
          
          Question for you all, which story of mine is your favorite? I can’t quite pick, but Late Night Talking is one of my favorites. 
          
          Wishing you all the best,

it's either ghosts or therapy for me, although ISTTIMI is also incredible

New Drarry story chapter 3 is up! The title is a work in progress, but for those of you reading from my Drabbles book, future updates will be posted in this story below. I’m sure I’ll hear a song I love and the story will take on its name. I’ll be going through my Drarry and writing playlists to find something, so stay turned. 
          
          Not to classic fanfic author dump but I’ve been going through a lot lately and haven’t had the time or motivation to write. When I do write it’s been Wolfstar because they’re “easier” to write, but I’ve missed Drarry. Writing them has given me some slight semblance of normalcy with everything going on lately. Please send positive thoughts/vibes my way. 
          
          Wishing you all the best,

@wolfgoddessqueen15 <3 I’ve missed writing them so much. I’m so nostalgic for Ghosts lately, I have no idea how I was able to update every single day, sometimes multiple times a day. It absolutely blows my mind because now I have such a bad mental block I can’t do anything

@SettleDown1D first and foremost sending the good vibes over, and second thanks for the update! I missed reading your drarry stories

Hey!!!! It's me from 2 months ago!!!! I read "Therapy" and I'm re-reading it for inspiration, as an author with anxiety, I understand your reasoning for feeling like the epilog might ruin the book, but I KNOW it's going to be amazing, and you should take that leap of faith, I LOVE the book, thank you so much for writing it!! and no pressure!! :D

Nyx_the_bean

@SettleDown1D lol real, Ok, and in the spring/summer is my birthday!! (more of a summer baby but could count as sping)

SettleDown1D

Hi!! Writing the epilogue is actually one of my New Year’s resolutions! It will get done this year!! I’m in a different stage of life than I was at that time period when I wrote it, and it’s so hard for me to find time to write anything at all. I need to do a full re-read of therapy and figure out where I want the epilogue to go. It could be a proposal, a wedding, a flashback to a previous event, etc. I need to see where inspiration takes me. I’m currently in between a Wolfstar story and a Drarry story. Ideally I’ll get to therapy in the spring when I have some time off but I feel like it’ll probably end up being over the summer
