Greetings! 
          	
          	Emberfall is complete. 
          	
          	I don’t think I have the right words for what these past three months have meant. Being back on Wattpad and part of the ONC gave me something to look forward to every single day. I reconnected with old friends, met new ones, and discovered so many incredible stories. 
          	
          	And somewhere in all of that, I created one I’m truly proud of. 
          	
          	Thank you to everyone who added Emberfall to their library, read along, left comments, and voted. Your support has meant more than I can say. It kept my mind steady with my upcoming surgery and brought me a kind of joy I didn’t realize I needed. 
          	
          	Now that I’ve finally hit “complete,” I get to turn that same support back around and dive into your stories for the ONC. I’ll see you all in the comments. 
          	
          	~ Q

Hi! I just wanted to say that I love the cover of your Emberfall book. If you don't mind, how did you make it? <3

Ashpoint

@Space_Queen_Q Oh, I gotcha! 
            
            Yeah, I used AI to make covers a few months ago and they turned out great! But I recently tried again for fun and the covers turned out so much worse, even with the same prompts. I don't know. It's like the system is evolving and not for the better. 
            
            I'm glad you managed for make your cover before the downgrade, though. Lol

Greetings @Ashpoint I am glad to hear you like Emberfall's cover. It took a little over 5 hours to get it just right. I used AI since I am not talented with a brush. It's easy to use, but you have to be VERY specific with what you want otherwise it gives you what it believes the genre you are going for tends to use. LOL.

Thank you so much for the follow back. I remember we used to connect 8 years ago here. Glad to see you are still here.

@Space_Queen_Q  yes I remember how much you liked that book. It’s so great to see you are back on Wattpad. I had taken a break here to publish my novels  but I decided to come back again and reconnect. 
            
            Congratulations on the onc. And good luck in the Wattys. I might enter it this year as well. I will be checking out your work again. So many of our fellow writer left the community but it’s so good to see some return. 
            
            I’ve been doing well. Can’t complain. I went on to publish my work as an independent author so I’ve been busy with that and work.

@Chrissyg81 of course! I saw the Swirl Obsession and was like, OMG, I must follow her back. It's lovely to reconnect. I only came back to Wattpad for the ONC. I plan on sticking around for a bit and even entering the Wattys with Emberfall--if I can squeeze in 5K more words when the ONC is complete . 
            
            How the heck have you been?

I just searched your conversations for the word surgery and found where you said it would be April 28th.  That is my birthday and I now know I got a really great present     with you coming through the surgery.  Thank you. :-)

Space_Queen_Q

@CFarley982 Aww, thank you. My surgeon was brilliant and everyone was in a good headspace. So it went well. I'm still healing. And on top of that I ended up getting an infection in my mouth. Long story short. I had to have oral surgery last Friday. Ouch. But that is finally feeling better as well. 
            
            Happy belated birthday. I'm glad we met. It's been fun getting to know you through your writing.

Thanks for adding "The Guardians" to your ONC2026 reading list.  I hope you take a look at it and enjoy reading it.  My writing is not the vivid immersive style that I am seeing you do so well.  I try for concise story telling with unexpected twists and hopefully lots of humor.  I'd love to get your comments.  Wishing you the best on your surgery and the best of luck on "Emberfall" in the ONC.

@CFarley982 of course. I'd seen your comments in a few stories and became curious. When I visited your page I saw the kitties on your cover. How could I--a cat lover-resist? And a little humor right now would do me some good. Good luckto you as well.
