It's been a while. I hope everyone has been doing well these past few years. 
          	Man, looking back feels nostalgic. Skimming through my old stories and seeing all the reads and the follows and suggested changes, it feels magical. 
          	I know this may be obvious, but I want to make it official for those who may still be reading. I have no more intentions of using Wattpad as a source of my writing. I will not be finishing "Swamp Called" even though for years I had thought about it and brainstormed so many ideas! With college and work and just life in general, I don't have the time or energy to do it anymore. I always felt a sense of guilt for not keeping a schedule for writing on here, and I felt like a failure as an author for delaying parts and stuff. But I don't feel that anymore, don't get it twisted! These past few years, I have lived and learned a lot of things, made new friends and somewhere to call home. I see Wattpad as where it all started, my dream of becoming a famous author and gaining hundreds of thousands of followers. "She Came From the Forest" now has over 20k reads, up 10k since I last checked years ago. Wow!
          	I have been working on an official novel as of late, one that is more suspense and horror rather than just fantasy. As much as I have ideas for characters, I cannot say that I do not still think of James and Tera from my story, my first characters from something I posted that people seemed to enjoy. They will live in my heart until the day that I put the pen down (or in my case, close the laptop :D) 
          	I don't know where life will take me, but I don't think anyone does since nothing is ever guaranteed. Plans change, that's universal, and so do hearts. To those who stuck with me through the pandemic, to those who served as inspiration to me realizing my dreams further, thank you, and I love you all. You gave me the confidence I didn't have and more, and I can never repay you all.
          	
          	Take care, everyone, sorry that I almost exceeded 2000 words XD

Hey guys. Just to let you all know that book 3 of the James and Tera series is officially online! “Swamp Called” is the title of it.
          The first five chapters have been posted already, and I’ll be working on the sixth this weekend. So hopefully you guys can look forward to that.
          Love you all, as always, and thank you for the support for the last few years, even through my inconsistency.

Hey guys, it's been a minute! Let me know how everyone is doing, I would love to chat and just vibe with my followers, and if you're not a follower you are also more than welcome! <3
          Anyways, just an update. I will no longer be titling my chapters. They will just go by numbers now (I have changed this for both of the books. Book 2, however, I decided to leave the title images at the top for dramatic effect, and also for the reason of me being too lazy). 
          But as always, I love you guys, and I can't wait to bring you the next project I'm working on.

Hey guys. Just a quick update. For the epilogue of book 2 I changed the ending and a few other things. Just wanted to give you guys an update :)
          
          On another note, it feels nice still getting notifications of people liking and adding my stories to their reading lists. It truly amazes me how I still get attention even though I’m, like, nonexistent for over a month at a time before posting something else.
          
          So I really wanna thank you guys, it means a lot. I have so much coming for the next book, I swear

Okay so I know this may be random, but does anyone else notice how many werewolf stories include the name Luna? I mean I’m not bashing anyone who is working on a story with that name but I mean c’mon, be a little original. 
          It’s a great name, don’t get me wrong. And it’s especially a great name for a werewolf, but it’s so overused! Think of more unique and creative names!
