Alright, so here's the dealie. As of today, September 22nd, 2023, I am officially closing this account for good. The reason being because I am no longer able to get into it and it's time to start fresh. The only reason I'm able to type this message now is because I thankfully left this window open from the last time I used my laptop. Thank you, Jesus. FYI, if you ever make a Wattpad account, don't register with your school email. It'll be there for a few months after you graduate, but eventually, that shit will get disabled. Just a warning. Also, I'm in college now. It's time to retire this account and begin anew. So, I created a new account. My new account is @MsSenoritaLoveMommy  
          I got something cooking up over there that I definitely think you won't want to miss out on in the long run. So, if you want to, follow me over there. A new book will come in time. But for now, it's been real. Thank you all so much for the support. Without you guys, I wouldn't have kept on as long as I did with my writing. Y'all and your comments and some of you with your respective stories inspired me to write something of my own. Anyways, I really appreciate the love and hopefully I'll catch y'all over on @MsSenoritaLoveMommy  
          And if not, see you in another time :)

How do y’all authors do it? Some of y’all have impeccable motivation. I ain’t got shit goin’ in that category right now. I just graduated from high school and now I’m leaving for college in a month. When do I write? Do I keep writing? Do I go on hiatus until further notice? Do I stop being insecure and realize that I don’t have to race to put chapters out? What? 

Coming soon. More “Magic”.

ITS BAAAAAAACK! After giving it some thought, I decided to put the OG “The Way You Make Me Feel” back up! But! I’m gonna be adding more to the current chapters and changing some things. I realized that while I wanted to start over, I worked too damn hard and too damn long to have all that work just go to waste like that. Besides…there is such a thing as ✨editing✨
          
          The Way You Make Me Feel is my most successful book and a part of me feels that the possibility of duplicating its success is likely, but NOT RIGHT NOW. I want to add new ideas while keeping the old. The best of both worlds if you know what I mean.
          
          If y’all are still here, expect everything to be back up by the weekend. Some things revamped and cleaned up more than others! If you can, keep them votes and comments coming. Some comments might be a little inconsistent, but that’s FINE! 
          
          It took me a long ass time, but I realized that my book IS good enough. I’m good enough as an author. My book might have a similar tone, but ITS NOT THE SAME AS THE OTHERS! I’m an individual.

I don’t mean to be rude or anything, but I feel as though I put a lot of time  into my updates despite not updating as often as I used to when I was younger. Yet I barely get any comments or votes. Like I don’t understand. Magic has over 600 reads, yet…only 20 or 30 comments and like 7 votes. Like I know I don’t update often, but I’d like to read your comments. They make my days and nights!
          Don’t be shy, peoples;(

I’ve returned…expect the unexpected…

Even though I want to start my book over, I don’t know where to begin. I have ideas, but they’re not turning out the way I hope. Part of me is still unsure because I don’t wanna delete all of that hard work I put into my book. But, my heart just isn’t it. At least not right now.

I'm strongly considering starting The Way You Make Me Feel Over Again with a whole different premise. Lemme be real, I’ve been reading When You Get Back and realized my book is kind of a carbon copy of an already good story. Plus, the whole childhood friends-to-lovers thing with Devante Swing has been done multiple times. Also, my writer’s block, lack of motivation, depression, and academic burn out has been wearing my creativity thin. I don't know...I’m at a loss right now. It's kind of bullshit, but I feel like I'm being unfair to my readers by saying this cuz it’s like, “We ain't heard from her in months and now she's leaving us on a whole cliffhanger?” and “This is the second time she restarted this book.” I get that and I truly apologize.

I GOT A NAS SHIRT!

I think it's high time I let y'all know, I’M SEEING NAS IN CONCERT NEXT MONTH!
