✨ WE MADE IT TO ROUND 3 ✨
          	
          	I’m honestly still in shock, besties.
          	Sins of the Flesh and Bloodlines: The Blood Witch both made it to Round 3 of the 2025 Ambys… and I genuinely did NOT expect that.
          	
          	These stories live in the deepest parts of my dark heart and soul, and seeing them recognized by Wattpad Ambassadors, the actual community builders on this platform, means more than I can explain. I’m just really, really grateful. ♥️
          	
          	To everyone reading, voting, commenting, screaming with me… thank you.
          	To my author friends who’ve never stopped supporting me… thank you.
          	To my readers who keep these worlds alive even when I’m drowning in real-life work… I love you endlessly.
          	
          	I’ve been super busy this past week and barely touched my TBR, but I promise I’m catching up this week and showing you all the same love you’ve given me. ♥️
          	
          	Thank you for believing in my stories... in my witches, my vampires, my sinners, my fighters.
          	Here’s to the final round. ✨

@ StardustHex  oh, yes. I love singing. I don't get tired of it and performing is so much fun. But, it's so much work with not enough sleep so that's why I'm so happy it's over. Performing requires a lot of patience, vulnerability, and practice. And when u have no time to recharge in between rehearsals, rhe fun of it is less enjoyable in a way. Also, I don't think I have a favorite opera singer. I'm not very educated on the names

StardustHex

@taicardi ooh tell me, is opera singing something that your heart desires? Are you passionate about it? Cause one thing I learned was, if you love doing something, you dont get tired of doing it ☺️ but I get you, I am a classical pianist and when I was a kid piano lessons and practice for recitals could get REALLY EXHAUSTING. It's a lot of work. I'm proud of you though!!! And who's your favorite opera singer? ♥️☺️✨

@ StardustHex  u know... People keep asking me and I honestly don't know how to respond. I'm so happy it's over because I feel exhausted. I also feel like I did it a million years ago and I'm like wait, I did that? Also, it was only 3 days ago

‍⬛ Totally not expecting this ‍⬛
          
          I’m actually shook right now. I opened my notifications and suddenly saw so many of you adding Mockingbird to your reading lists??? Like WHAT?? my updates there are slow as hell (one chapter per week) while ✨The Au Pair✨ gets spoiled with daily drops lol
          
          Still... seeing this much love for Ali and Raven’s electric, messy, oh-my-god-are-they-going-to-kiss-or-kill-each-other chemistry just made my whole day ♥️
          
          Thank you for reading, voting, commenting, or even just silently vibing with them. Every bit of love means the world to me. 
          
          If you haven’t met Ali and Raven yet… maybe give Mockingbird a try ❤️ it’s a little slow-burn, a LITTLE sinful (wink, wink), and a whole lot of tension you can feel through the screen 
          
          ✨ Add it to your reading list
          ✨ Drop a little vote or comment
          ✨ Let me know if you’re Team “kiss him” or Team “get him a restraining order” haha
          
          Love you all endlessly. Thank you for making this author’s week ❤️

          Let’s start today with kindness: for others, and for ourselves.
          
          ♥️ You’re allowed to take it slow.
          ♥️ You’re allowed to rest and still be worthy.
          ♥️ You’re allowed to shine even when no one notices yet.

          The world’s been heavy lately, but look at you, still choosing to rise. Still choosing love. Still showing up. That’s magic. ✨
          
          Let’s move through this week with softer hearts, gentler words, and the quiet confidence that we’ll make it... one sunrise, one deep breath at a time.

♥️  MID-WEEK MANIFESTATIONS  ♥️
          
          I’ve been thinking a lot lately about timelines... about the versions of us that already exist somewhere out there.
          
          Somewhere in an alternate reality, I know there’s a version of me who’s already living the dream: a full-time author, free from corporate chains, holding her own books in her hands… and maybe even watching them come alive on screen. ☺️
          
          And I know she’s smiling right now, proud of this version of me for not giving up, for writing through the exhaustion, for believing that stories born in darkness can still shine.
          
          Waking up today, still alive, still here, still breathing, reminded me that every small victory is a shift in the timeline. That maybe, just maybe, I’m getting closer to her.
          
          So this is me, manifesting out loud:
          ✨ To write stories that reach the world.
          ✨ To see my worlds turn to film (someday, fingers crossed)
          ✨ To live fully, freely, and creatively—as the author I was always meant to be.
          
          But I’m not manifesting just for me.
          I’m manifesting for all of us. ✨☺️
          
          For every author chasing their dream, every reader who finds pieces of themselves in a story, every creative soul still waiting for that sign that they’re on the right path.
          
          I hope you know, your time is coming too.
          Your book, your art, your magic, your moment.
          
          So here’s to the next chapter ♥️ may it be full of alignment, abundance, and divine timing.
          Because somewhere out there, we’ve already made it.
          
          Now, we’re just catching up to that version of ourselves. 
          
          ♥️

SOMEBODY STOLE MY WORK.
          
          ✨A Quick, Honest Note from Me✨
          
          Hey, everyone.
          
          I don’t normally post things like this, but I’ve been sitting with it for a while and it’s time to say something.
          
          Recently, I discovered that some author (one with THE ORANGE BADGE) has published a story that shares uncannily specific similarities to my book Bloodlines: The Blood Witch. I’m talking about the premise, structure, character dynamics, and even the supernatural framework, all reworked under a different title.
          
          And as if that wasn't enough, my other book (Bloodlines Spin-off: Sins of the Flesh, Sins of the Damned) was "taken inspiration from" as well.
          
          I know that in writing, there will always be overlap and shared inspiration. But when something feels like a MIRROR of your work, down to its heartbeat, it’s hard not to feel violated.
          
          I don’t want to start drama or hate. That’s not who I am.
          
          But I do believe in creative integrity, and I think all writers—big or small—deserve respect for the worlds they build.
          
          If you’ve read Bloodlines, you’ll know exactly what I mean when I say the resemblance isn’t “inspired by.” It’s replicated.
          
          I’m not naming names, and I don’t want anyone attacking anyone. I just want to remind this community—a place built on passion and imagination—that stories matter because they come from us. Our sweat, our sleepless nights, our soul.
          
          To my readers who’ve supported Bloodlines from the start—thank you for seeing me. For choosing the original.

@StardustHex "But taking someone else’s full framework and swapping names isn’t inspiration" - Absolutely isn't and I completely agree. You have your earlier first published date though, and if their "version" starts to attract attention, that might be a good time for you to bring it to Wattpad's and readers' attention. There would be nothing wrong in doing that, I think.

StardustHex

@DennisRoyer Yes, it was an orange badge, unfortunately. And I agree completely, creators and ambassadors should be held to a higher standard, both in conduct and creative ethics. Thank you so much for your kindness and understanding, Dennis! It means a lot. I just hope this serves as a quiet reminder that integrity should always come first in any creative community. ♥️

StardustHex

@anneperaltanovels Thank you so much, truly ❤️ That means more than you know. I’ve chosen not to name or report anyone. I don’t want to turn art into conflict. My post was meant as a quiet reminder about integrity, about protecting the soul of what we create. At the end of the day, I’d rather keep writing and let the work speak for itself. We build stronger stories and communities when we lift each other up instead of copying what’s already been created.

✨6K READS IN TWO DAYS?!? I’M SCREAMING✨
          
          I don’t even know what to say right now.
          Six thousand new reads in just two days?? You guys are absolutely unhinged (and I love you for it). ♥️
          
          When I first wrote Sins of the Flesh, it was just me, a laptop, and way too many feelings about faith, love, and ruin. I never imagined it would find this many hearts. Seeing your comments, votes, posts on your message boards... it means more than I can ever say.
          
          To everyone reading, re-reading, bingeing, crying, sinning with me—thank you. You’re keeping this story alive in the most beautiful way. ☺️
          
          And if you’ve moved on to Sins of the Damned… buckle up, babes. The next descent is darker.
          
          Forever cursed (and grateful),
          — StardustHex ️✝️
