          Hi! How are you?! I messaged you on discord! Wanna talk there?

I have risen from the perpetual grave...
          
          I know, nothing new, right? But I've returned to about 800+ notifications and gone through them all. That said, if you've tried to reach me in the past (maybe a year?) and I haven't gotten back to you, please try me again.
          
          In more exciting news: I have been working on my stories in the background and will be updating the version on here soon! Thank you to all those who have been reading, commenting, and adding my stories to your lists. It means A LOT and surprises me every time, especially since I've been so inactive on here. You are the best!
          
          I aim to self-publish next year (hold thumbs for me), so maybe you'll get your hands on a physical book sometime soon! I might also end up taking some chapters down later or applying for paid chapters, but that's not happening in the immediate future.
          
          Prepare for new chapters of:
          Nocturne of Nightmares
          In Between Fangs
          AIM
          
          
          Much Love & Happy Reading! 
          I hope you're all doing well and that the year has been good to you ~*

Yeah... Imagine accidentally deleting an entire novel...
          
          How's everyone doing??? It's been a week. I hope you all received some love and romance even if from yourselves (one of the best and most important kinds of love is self-love if you ask me)...
          
          A quick writing update: I've been finishing up Nocturne of Nightmares for real this time, so I'd like to start posting the edited chapters on here for you to enjoy, since a lot of you seem to be engaging with that story in particular. Yes, I notice you and you are most appreciated!!! I am not quite sure whether I'll be updating AIM afterwards or In Between Fangs, since they are both going through a big makeover, but keep an eye out for that if you're keen. 
          
          Aaand that's it from me. Oh, and I'm slowly getting back into role-playing, so please check out my Teen Wolf role-play or feel free to invite me to anything you think would pique my interest.
          
          Much Love & Happy Reading!

UPDATE: THE RECOVERY UTILITY WORKED AND I COULD ACTUALLY CRY

Accidentally deleted Nocturne of Nightmares: A Retelling from my computer today... I've never been more grateful to have a story up on Wattpad in my life.
          
          Trying a recovery utility, though, just in case I can still retrieve the file somewhere.

Wishing everyone a Blessed and Very Merry Christmas (late as I am, doesn't matter, I love you guys)!!! And a Happy New Year*~•

Who remembers Meet the Robinsons..?

Dear you,
          
          Yes, you!  If you're ever interested in writing, or improving your writing, for any reason, I have a bunch of FREE resources and online classes that I'd be happy to share! Just send me a PM.
          
          Happy writing!!!

I'm considering rising from the dead, but it's also quite nice here...
          
          Hi, my dear followers,
          
          I hope you're all well (^w^) For the sweetest of you who have been wondering: I am doing good. I'm a mom now (whoa!), so I have been kept very busy, lol. Now, I have even less time to write than before, so my updates on here (and anywhere) have been at a bona fide standstill.
          
          It feels like I'm walking into a ghost town here. But, I am happy to say that I've been trying to progress with AIM on the side, and even happier that this week has been a good one for the Nocturne of Nightmares Retelling!
          
          I admit, I recently watched Heartstopper on Netflix, and the cuteness overload really inspired me to *write the damn ending* for NoN! So, that's my goal for the week! Write it, and maybe design a proper cover for it. I originally wanted to publish the book, one copy, for myself, for my own guilty pleasure. But I was curious as to whether anyone would be interested in buying their own..? I'm starting to work on other really cool projects as well, and intend on opening up a shop soon (any advice on that would be highly appreciated)! I'll let you know when that is happening, and would really love to see some of you there.
          
          As always,
          
          Much love!
          
          And Happy Reading
          
          (^v^)

Remembered that old teen wolf rp of your's today, literally haven't thought about it in ages. 
          Which, in turn, made me wonder how y'all are doing.
          So, how you doing?
