Hey Darlene! It's been so long, I hope you're doing well. I was recalling my old friends from Wattpad and I knew I had to talk to you. I'm so happy as one of the early readers of Tattooed Hearts that it has been published! 
          
          On another note, would you be willing to help me with my academic research survey? I need diverse opinions on the Representation of the Indian Queer community on Wattpad and I'm sure your voice will add incredible value to my research. Or if you know anyone who might be interested in helping, that would be great as well. 
          
          It'll only take 5-7 minutes to complete the survey. Your responses are completely confidential and your consent is very important.

Hey Darlene!
          
          Thank you so much for following me. I appreciate your support.
          
          Happy reading (and writing)!

Hey everyone! just a reminder that Tattooed Hearts will be removed tonight (EST)! I've finished editing and formatting for the published version, and I'm so excited to share it with you! Than you so much.
          
          xo, Darlene

Me: I want to be a Wattpad creator.
          
          Also me: Doesn't meet the requirements because I have't updated a story at least once in the last two weeks and at least six times in the last three months and I want to self-publish my stories so they'll be taken down anyway so what's the point?

Hi darlings,
          
          Over on Instagram I just dropped the official cover for Tattooed Hearts and the release date: April 16, 2024. 
          
          What does this mean for you?
          
          You will be able to get it in your hands.
          
          Unfortunately, that also means, I will be taking down chapters and only leaving a 4-5 chapter sample of the book which will happen March 15th to give you those who recently added the book to their reading list a chance to finish going through it.
          
          I want to thank you all so much for your continued support. Honestly, if it wasn't for you all and this community I would have never shared my words. I really appreciate you!
          
          xo,
          Darlene

@angelwings4141 I have a few different disabilities, both physical and mental. The main one is TAR syndrome, I was born with an absent radius bone in both arms.

I may or may not be writing a second story for ONC… let’s see how it goes.

I had the honor of being a featured author this month on @NewAdultReads 
          Thank you for the opportunity! You can check it out the interview here!

Deadline for round one of ONC is coming up in a few weeks. 
          
          Did you submit already? Or are you waiting last minute like me?
          
          New chapters are coming soon for Sweet Deception.  I had a migraine the past two days and have been working slow on the chapter I’m writing, but I just finished and I can’t wait to get it out to you!

Hello! Thank you so much for adding my book to your reading list, I hope you enjoy it!! :)
