I haven't been active on Wattpad for a very long time, however I do have exciting news for everyone who liked my work when I was active. I'm officially a published author. I self published a fantasy thriller novel called "A Moon Named Niko" that's about a teenager trying to get out of a really horrible home situation, and pretty much everything goes wrong. It does have a happy ending though, and it deals a lot with trauma and trying to recover and the guilt and also how relationships change when people are stuck in a toxic environment. Also the character arcs aren't completely linear because the process of dealing with trauma isn't a straight line. It takes place in a dystopian world with a little bit of realm traveling, it has both first and third person point of views, and also short chapters. Right now it's for sale on Amazon Kindle for 99 cents, and I do plan on getting the ebook onto other sights. I also plan on making paperback and hardcover versions, so the paperback version is in the works right now. 
          	
          	My second piece of news is that my next project is the third draft of Captured Wings. Which I find it super fun that some stories (like A Moon Named Niko) can be made in one draft and then just a tone of editing and adding scenes in and rewriting other scenes, but it all came from the same draft. And then other stories like Captured Wings it's hard to tell the story right the first time or even the second time but eventually you get it. It's so fun to see how the writing process changes for every story. Anyway, I'm planning on publishing Captured Wings, so I'm super excited to start this next version of it. The world and the characters have changed a lot over the course of three years worth of notes and ideas. 
          	
          	I would like to end this by saying thank you to everyone who has ever supported me in any way. You guys are truly amazing, and I hope you'll all continue to follow me on my writing journey.

So... Today is the 2 year anniversary of the first draft of Captured Wings. Also the day I was trying to finish my new book by cuz I've been working on it for like 7 months now, but I'm slow as heck at writing and I haven't been working on it that often cuz I've figured out almost the entire plan for the book, but I keep getting stuck on part 2 of the book. Part 3 should run much smoother though. So if anyone has been wondering about new books, yes they are coming. If I can ever finish it, but I'm on chapter 20 right now, and I'm trying to get it to around 40, maybe a little less then that, so I'm not too far from the end but we'll see what happens. HOWEVER, after I finish the new book, I have some exciting news. I'm going to start working on the 3rd rewrite of Captured Wings. Only this will hopefully be the last entire rewrite because I'm going to try to get it published after all my drafts and stuff. Um... I won't be posting it on Wattpad, but in like a year or 2 (cuz I doubt I'll get any faster at writing, and I'm actually going to try and at least do a semi outline cuz this is gonna be like a 5 book series) I will be asking for beta readers. So if anyone likes dark fantasy with fairies and lots of trauma (cuz would it really be my book if there wasn't trauma?) then there you go. Aside from that I hope everyone has an amazing day!

Today's my first day of 10th grade... I don't know weather to be excited or absolutely terrified, lol. Guess I'll find out. I'm definitely not excited about have freaking algebra 2 in the morning though. Having the first algebra in the morning was enough of a pain...

I'm gonna be posting a chapter of Captured Wings, and for those that read the first draft before I changed a bunch of stuff, happy Siren saves the world day (cuz yes, I really made it the same day as when I was born just exactly 100 years later, lol) 
          
          Also Josie is coming over today, so yay! We get to eat a mini cheesecake and sushi together.
          
          Also I'm going to a book store for like the first time in... frick, it's been years since I've been to an actual book store (well Febuary of last year.) So like... I like dystopian and fantasy with romance in it, got any books to recommend?
