Since the start of 2026, I have found myself gaining a recent hyper-fixation on Tom Cruise.
          
          Before you guys try to convince me that it is a bad idea, hear me out. I am already aware of the Scientology BS.
          
          Before, I didn't think much of him, except that time when he played Lestat de Lioncourt in Anne Rice's movie adaptation of Interview with the Vampire in 1994. Other films, such as Jerry Maguire, Collateral and American Made, were the only films I had seen that had him in them.
          
          Until I watched the first four Mission: Impossible films and Top Gun. I'll admit, I can see why people liked them so much, and I don't blame them because I like them as well.
          
          I'll now add my list of favourite movies featuring Tom Cruise:
          
          - Mission: Impossible 2
          - Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol (fourth movie)
          - Interview with the Vampire (obviously)
          - Mission: Impossible 3
          - American Made
          - Top Gun (1986)
          
          The reason I'm posting this now is that I have seen pictures of Tom Cruise playing a rockstar character named Stacee Jaxx in Rock of Ages, and I'm planning on watching that movie so I can make a fanfic about it.
          
          This involves My Little Rae of Sunshine because I am on the verge of rewriting the entire trilogy and restarting from scratch. I enjoyed and spent a lot of time investing in Sixx:A.M. three years ago, but over the last few weeks, listening to their music (which is really good) doesn't feel the same after working on a fanfic series. "Behind the Silver Moon Lining" took over a year, and I repeatedly made changes to "Modern Vintage Vinyl" whilst at college and constantly thinking of ideas. The process was draining most days, but I wanted to push through and finish it so that I could move on to something new.
          
          My idea for this concept fanfic is almost similar to the plot of "My Little Rae of Sunshine" and "Behind the Silver Moon Lining", but mushed together with the plot of "Rock of Ages" (ONCE I HAVE A CHANCE TO SEE IT).
          
          What do you guys think I should do?

I am tempted to write a fanfiction about Lestat de Lioncourt after watching the new teaser of "The Vampire Lestat" on Reddit. However, I have not yet finished reading The Queen of the Damned.

Greetings, my fellow Wattpad community. I hope you all had a nice Christmas to yourselves.
          
          So, this is the last day of 2025.
          
          Very strange as to how we went from the start and ended at the finish line. This year has been... stressful. Finishing college, re-evaluating friendships and relationships I thought would last, turning 20, figuring out this new transition into adulthood and finding peace maybe?
          
          I know I haven't been as active this year, working on projects, I've been trying to catch up, while juggling not doing anything in life, but I think the only positive has been, writing-wise, completing "Behind the Silver Moon Lining", "Modern Vintage Vinyl", and "Riders of Havoc, Volume 1" (Volumes 2 + 3, with a chance at two more volumes to complete the set, will be coming around summer/autumn 2026, so very soon).
          
          Next year's set list of unfinished works will be:
          
          - Riders of Havoc, Volume 2: Three Demonic Treasures (currently in editing process on Docs, will be published sometime between January and February)
          
          - Riders of Havoc, Volume 3: BLOODY POWER FAME (work in progress)
          
          - Project Camouflage will undergo a rewrite
          
          - Electrified 2: Spark of Dreams (unfinished)
          
          - ELEKTRA 3 will be in development soon (but it might be under a different Marvel character name since I watched Thunderbolts* this year, and I loved it)
          
          - Crazy Noisy Bizarre Town (unfinished)
          
          - Saints of Los Angeles (unfinished)
          
          - Remember the Time (unfinished, might need a rewrite soon)
          
          - An unnamed AMC+ "Interview with the Vampire/The Vampire Lestat" fanfic is in the works
          
          - Poetry/short stories coming out soon (I know I mentioned it previously to release them, but I never got around to it)
          
          - A new series based on true events from the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic, called "The Joys of a Treeless Plain," is in development and set to be a five-book series with different titles
          
          And that's all the upcoming stuff, folks. I hope you all enjoyed 2025, and I'll see you in 2026! ❤

Merry Christmas everyone x

Happy 67th birthday to the sleaziest bassist of Mötley Crüe, Nikki Sixx!!!

I couldn't sleep, so I will do another update post:
          
          I'm going to spend the next few months (hopefully) working on Riders of Havoc Volume 2 (and maybe start volume 3). The draft's halfway there, just got a few more chapters left before going through the editing process and posting on Wattpad.
          
          Also, there's been another update on Volume 1. I've decided to section the rather longer chapters into 2-part chapters instead (see chapters 9 to 16). I was a bit worried that I might bore you guys if I kept a long chapter containing everything that's going on, so I thought about breaking it down so that there wasn't too much to absorb all at once.
          
          But if you do get notifications about updates, then that was me adding pictures and cleaning the chapters up a bit.

A new scene has been added to Chapter 7 of Bonnie and Clyde '86. I was intending to add it in, but completely forgot last minute in the final draft, so after noticing how short the chapter was, I managed to extend it a little.

This year has been a goddamn nightmare. Aside from dealing with a ton of crap regarding personal issues, writer's block, and STILL trying to find employment, I'm calling 2025 the year everybody is dropping like flies left, right and centre—which is beyond diabolical.
          
          Tell me HOW THE HECK we've not only lost Ace Frehley of KISS, D'Angelo and the bassist from Limp Bizkit in October???!!!?!!?!??!
          
          Now who the F is next in the next two months? Mick Jagger????? Seriously, WHO ELSE? I really thought Ozzy's death was the tip of the iceberg, but I guessed wrong.

So, it has been a while since my last update. I've been dealing with a lot of stuff regarding not being in college, family stuff and just life. But I'm managing okay. 
          
          Recently, I've been trying to write up the sequel to Riders of Havoc, Volume 1, and my writer's block has been bothering me throughout. But I'll get it done eventually, maybe before the end of this year or next January.

So, I've turned 20 today. Finally shedding the teens and entering adulthood feels pretty overwhelming. Either way, happy birthday to me. I thank my auntie, cousin and my counsellor for celebrating this milestone with me. x
