Hey, lovelies <3
          	
          	This announcement is, sadly, a long time coming. It’s something I’ve dragged my feet on for close to a year now, ever since the deletion glitch during last year’s ONC, but even more so the last few months. 
          	
          	This site has been my home for 13 years. But for a while, it’s felt less like home and more like…an obligation. 
          	
          	I’ve tried and failed to revive my love for the site where I found my voice, met some of my dearest friends, and have had a lovely audience that have given endless support to my writing. 
          	
          	I kept telling myself that the love I lost was because my mental health wasn’t well, or I physically was unwell, or any other excuse I could tell myself to justify staying on WP. But then, when my account goes inactive, it adds the extra stress of feeling like I need to be active—therefore perpetuating my incessant need to exhaust myself pumping out content and burning myself at every end. Then, I would rotate myself through events and clubs thinking that, maybe, if I reengaged, I would find a spark instead of embers. 
          	
          	If anything, it’s only made the decision more firm. 
          	
          	Maybe I’ve grown out of the site. Maybe the endless glitches have finally hit me, too. Or maybe the universe is reminding me that we won’t always have an answer. 
          	
          	But sometimes you have to let go of something hard in order to grow. 
          	
          	Soon, I will log out of this account. I just need to get my caffeine-fueled ducks in a row and book club work caught up. I’ll have a back up account purely because I need it to be in off-site communities I love, and I can’t stomach losing touch with friends because I’m not on here. 
          	
          	As for this account, I’m unsure. I may keep it up because usernames safety and whatnot. I may just throw it into the void so I’m not tempted. I don’t know. 
          	
          	I still have all my other socials. Please feel free to stay in touch. My writing journey is far from over, even if my Wattpad chapter has come to a close. 
          	
          	I love you all to the moon and back.

The legendary Phoenix has risen from his ashes, bringing the land of Astraela face-to-face with a creature once thought to bring ruin: a man named Emrys, whose control over hellfire is not as strong as his love for chaos and baked goods.
          
          Poachers have long sought after the Phoenix's wings, with ashes rumored to bring great power and immortality. When Emrys awakens with fragments missing from his wings and finds himself followed by those who wish to steal more, he teams up with Sage and Mystia---necromancers hiding in plain sight beneath the local tavern.
          
          But Emrys is not the only rare creature in their midst, and Sage soon finds herself at the wrong end of a bounty hunter's greed...
          __________
          Helllllooooooooo Keepers of Astraela fans!! Today, I posted the introduction and a sneak peek at "The Hunted," which is the first novella in the new "Astraelan Chronicles" series. These novellas are set years before the KoA series, following Emrys, Mystia, and Sage through their many lighthearted misadventures. This series is a fun break from the darkness of the KoA series, and I hope you all enjoy it as much as I have.
          
          The first chapter of "The Hunted" will be posted on December 25th, and updates will go up every Monday at 10:15am EST. This means that "Risen" will now be updated weekly every Thursday at 10:15am EST instead of biweekly =)
          
          Happy reading!! Enjoy the chaos!! <3

Writing offline is boring. Writing in a community? Now we’re talking.
          
          It’s been a while, Wattpadians! A while back, I had to take down my dark fantasy novel, Vision, for publication. Needless to say, my profile’s looked pretty bare for a while. But I’m back and kicking with Risen—book two in the Keepers of Astraela series!
          
          Originally, I didn’t plan to bring Risen’s first draft to Wattpad. First, I was going to keep it all to myself, and then I wanted to try doing early release chapters on Patreon. But nothing beats the community here on Wattpad. There’s something special about connecting books with new readers, watching real-time interaction with inline comments, and just having fun running trial-and-error with this series. 
          
          I’ll be updating Risen every Monday and Friday around 10:30am EST. As per usual, longer chapters will be split into parts for easier readability online! I have a good backlog of chapters built up to keep the twice-weekly updates running. 
          
          Please enjoy Risen! If you haven’t read Vision yet or currently aren’t able to afford it but still want to read the sequel, I’ve included a full summary to catch you up. 
          
          If you’ve been waiting for The Astraelan Chronicles to make a return, I promise it will. I’d like to wait until I have an official cover for it and have more chapters proofread for posting. But I will keep you updated!
