Dropping in to give a progress update :3
          
          First, editing The Bet for publication has taken me wayyyy more time than I thought it would =') When I started the process, I naively thought that it only needs a few new chapters, a proper ending, and some detail changes. I currently have the first 33 chapters almost done with a few of them needing some polish and filling up, and so far, the story has grown by about 50k words. I still have 12 old chapters to edit, and a small handful of new chapters to add =') I believe that once it's done, it has grown almost double in size. It started with 107k words, probably ends with around 180k words so I've added a lot of new stuff all over the story :3
          
          I've also made the decision to keep At the End of Nightfall on pause ='( If this The Bet project had been much faster and simpler, I could've had time to keep working on Oliver's series, but right now I want to focus on getting The Bet done as fast as I can so it won't become one of the unfinished projects I have hanging around, especially now that I'm 3/4 way through already =') It will take me at least 2 more months to finish, but at least the finish line is getting closer :3
          
          I will also keep updating Save Me From Myself at a steady pace, with updates coming every 10-15 days, since my dream is to get the book 2 self-published before the end of the year as well :3 This is the oldest series I have that never got finished (started in 2014 I think), which is why I chose to work on it instead of Mouse and Wolf =') 
          
          I also took down some of the books I had up here and saved them as drafts, one of which is Safe Word Sunlight, but one day it will be back once I can continue writing it :3  I just can't say which year that will happen =')
          
          It is my dream to have all my books finished and published as physical books, and I will get it done one by one :3 it's not a fast process, but I do promise to keep working as hard as I can :3

Hi Dollygrand! Ik this may not be important to you, but I’ve just finished my AP LIT exam as of today! I just wanted to say that The Mouse and the Wolf has genuinely given me such an impact in how I’m able to read books and connect with characters, and I hope you feel a little happy at the fact that I was able to use your book to answer one of the short response questions, which felt with a conflict between the old and the new, wether it be values, worlds, or experiences! I was extremely happy to use your story, and it motivated me to write a whole essay about it. Thank you for writing these stories, and wish me luck on the score! (I need a 4-5 on it)

Hey, I've had Counting Minutes on my offline reading list for at least 2 years now and I keep rereading it every few months because I love it so much ❤️.

Save Me From Myself has a new cover! What do you guys think? (also new chapter should be dropping today!)

Heyyy Author ❤️
          I absolutely love your series 'The Mouse and The Wolf' It's amazing  I can't seem to be able to put it down  
          I just wanted to know ur update schedule for the 3rd book 

Looks like Wattpad is rolling out a new feature, Social Feed (a little bit like the old News Feed they used to have). It became available for me today, but I believe not all users have it yet. You can find it when you click on your notifications if you already have it :3
          
          I don't have all the details, and I'm basing my assumptions on things I've personally noticed, but it looks like you can see when people you follow add new stories to their reading lists, and it also seems to be showing some of those said reading lists.
          
          This feature is probably going to be very exciting for us authors, and I definitely am cheering it on because it helps us with discoverability :3
          
          However, the reason I'm making this post is to note that if you are reading stories you'd rather not want your followers to know about, you might want to add them to your private library instead of reading lists =') Reading lists are public, library is private (as far as I know)
          
          Another thing I want to point out that this is a great way to help out the authors you like by adding their stories on your public reading lists, but also it's a great way to discover new stories to read if you follow other readers who enjoy the same stories you enjoy :3 
          
          I hope this will breathe new life into this platform, and help more readers and stories to find each other :3
