@Armed_Dane  lol!  No problems with a small hello!  Please stop trying to destroy your back!  You only get the one spine!!!! I hope you make a full recovery and can get back to work soon!
          
          I have never been to Europe.... although I recently found out I am 79% Irish from an Ancestry DNA test. So it’s a goal for my extended family to make it to Ireland and visit the two counties we came from.  I mean, we knew we were Irish, we just didn’t know it was that much or what counties.  
          
          My hobby also used to be a my other job before I began working with kids, I was a pastry chef and cake decorator.  I do a lot during the holidays and for special occasions/weddings but I make such a huge fucking mess in my kitchen when I do. I always regret it and say never again.  Until the next wedding... lol.  
          
          I am also really into music, all kinds but mostly rap. I have summers off, so I’m pretty much giving away what I do.  I will be in my flower beds and doing projects around the house.  We are done June 1st and I can’t wait.  I’m over it, the kids are over it... we’re all basically trying not to go Hunger Games on each other the next few weeks. 
          
          I am currently working on my break up chapter of the book.... I’ve had people write me and ask me to keep it going or write about them separately... I still don’t know what I’m going to do.  I’m still figuring it out. 
          
          Ok A.D.  sending love from PA... the sun is currently shining but thunderstorms coming.  Thunderstorms = scared dogs who will follow me around all night and be nervous  :( 
          
          Take care and stay safe!  J.J.

@Armed_Dane  here’s one theory I have.  Mac doesn’t like the limelight.  He doesn’t like a ton of PDA and he doesn’t like the whole red carpet/Hollywood scene.  Ari does.  Not that there’s anything wrong with it,  but with her rolling out  new album I think she wants the whole nine yards.  Someone like Big Sean who used to hang all over her and loved the spotlight like she does.  Again it doesn’t make her bad, it’s just that they are different.

@Armed_Dane  nope, I found it out from you.  However, I wasn’t shocked.  When Mac goes radio silent on his Insta that’s a dead giveaway there’s problems. He didn’t come to the Jimmy Fallon show with her or to the Met Ball last Monday. I’m going rock see what the blind gossip sites have to say about it and possibly form a chapter from  that. I’m wondering if there’s is someone else... her usual pattern is to wait a month then go public with the new person. I’m at work.... I’ll follow up with more later.  What a day.

@Armed_Dane Hi!!  I am so sorry you got hurt, I hope you are making a full recovery! I'm also glad to hear you have company while you're healing!  
          
          Wattpad has definitely been acting weird.  Their algorithm ranked my story dead last in the 'maciana' tag. Then, I stopped being able to view my book in reader mode in my own account, it says "story has been deleted."  I wrote them and they have at least fixed the ranking issue.  
          
          We are finally having warm spring weather here, I think it's finally safe to put the winter coats away.. lol.
          
          Thank you so much for promoting my book on other platforms, I appreciate it and I can tell when the unique reader count shoots way up!  I do like Ariana's new song, it's grown on me.  I thought it was going to be a ballad or more of a tribute song, I wasn't expecting a dance song. But I get it, it's time to put sadness behind and be happy.  I am wondering too if Mac will be on a song on the new album. She said on a talk show last week that she will be doing a surprise on May 20th, June 20th and then release the album on July 20th.
          
          I have had a few people ask me to write books about other couples... and I always say I think I'll stick with this one.  I've had some people ask me to write an even more fictionalized story about them.... but I don't think I could get into that either.  I think that market is pretty well served... there are stories on here about Ariana getting kidnapped, etc.  So I think I will stick with Maciana.. but thank you for the suggestion!
          
          Ok, I have two dogs here who are staring me down menacingly, demanding I get off the computer and take them for their walk, so I'm going to go... please take care and continue on your path to healing and wellness!  Much love from PA/US..... J.J.

@Armed_Dane Hi there!  I don’t cringe over the book anymore, that was only when I first wrote it.  Last fall I did some heavy re-writing and I’m much happier with it.  Now and again I will go in and rewrite or add a song lyric that is relevant. 
          
          I strongly think Ari and Malcolm had some kind of falling out from late August to late September.  Ariana can act like business as usual on her social medias... Mac can’t. His tone and  tenor change completely.  That goes the opposite way for him, too.  When they were reconnecting in early 2016,  he left so many hints, especially on twitter. This past summer tho, I think the touring, Manchester and being apart got to be too much for them.  
          
          Kudos to you and your Big Brother work! Kids today need all the help and support they can get.  They feel so much pressure to grow up fast.  
          
          I also want to thank you for your votes!  It’s the strangest thing to me... the book gets about 100 reads a day and no one votes.  I actually wouldn’t care... but when people search under the tag ‘maciana’ more votes push the book to the top of the list. 
          
          I don’t mean to rub it in.... but it’s going to be 80 degrees here on Thursday!! Spring is finally here!! 
          
          I’m always glad to talk to people about the book!  People message me all the time and ask if this or that was real or fiction.  I like this format... weaving real life events and fiction.  The lack of Malcolm and Ari news and social media posting make it hard to write new chapters tho.
          
          Thank you for your interest in the book! Take care and stay warm!  
          
          Love from (warmer) PA!! J.J.

@Armed_Dane Hello!  This is my first book, I wrote the first 5 chapters in about a week and a half.  They were horrible!  I cringe thinking about them.  I kept the framework of the story but I did some major, major rewriting and tweaking. 
          
          My interest in Mac and Ari comes from the soulmate aspect of their relationship, and generally being a Mac fan for many years.  I think it’s so cute how they knew when they first met that they should be together... but they had some more growing up to do. I can relate because I had a soulmate too, but we didn’t end up together.  I am married and am very happy, it’s almost easier to be with a non-soulmate because the soulmate thing can be very intense and volatile.  
          
          I work..... I work with adolescents.  It’s so stressful but I love it.  
          Take care!  J.J.
