TO MY LOYAL READERS:
          	
          	I am so sorry for my absence from Wattpad. I’ve been getting a lot of comments asking when The Forever Series will be finished, so I thought it was past due time that I give you some answers. Some of you may know that I’ve had my first baby 6 months ago. I love writing, but I love my daughter too, and with a partner who works away lots I have to prioritise my time to care for my baby girl which means I don’t have a lot left in the tank for writing. Being a mum is the best thing I’ve ever done but I’ve been a writer since the age of 13 (I’m turning 27 in October) and I’m missing it more than ever. I’m also looking to self publish a small town romance so in the tiny moments I can write, my time has been dedicated to this.
          	
          	Now, to answer some questions about TFS. First of all, Forever Mine has gone through a rewrite. Nothing too major, but I really dug deep to make it the best version it can be. It even involves some newspaper articles which tie in with the storyline. Hopefully sometime in the near future I’ll be uploading this. Next, Forever Yours. I have a vision of how the story plays out. I just need the time to get the words written down! I’m hoping that at the start of next year this will be getting uploaded, when my daughter will be 1 and it will be easier for her to be babysat by her grandparents.
          	
          	I’m sorry this might not be the news you wanted. I’m so grateful to all of you for sticking with me this long. I’m so so lucky!

Sweet Like Honey will not be uploaded this week as I recover from a cold. I’m sorry to disappoint but having a cold and being pregnant SUCKS because I’m not allowed any drugs. So I’m just riding out the snot wave. Uploads will resume their normal schedule next week!

@MimisAngel9 hahaha it’s awful!

Hello everyone!
          
          Here I am again, writing you all a message about me being AWOL. This time though it wasn’t due to lack of time or laziness, I have a really good reason! A few months ago I found out I was pregnant! And while it was such an exciting time it was also a brutal three months for me with the worst sickness I’ve ever experienced.
          
          I’m almost five months pregnant now though and I’ve been back behind my desk which has felt AMAZING. A lot of you are wondering when I’ll be resuming uploads of Forever Yours and I think I finally have a solid timeline. I’ve recently finished edits for my small town romance, Sweet Like Honey. I’m someone who can work only one story at a time, dedicating myself entirely to it. So with this being ready for Wattpad uploads, I’ll now be going back to The Forever Series.
          
          I love Roxy and Isaac’s story, but I feel like I just need to put a little more “oomph” into it for a stronger storyline and to make the stakes higher. I’ve also designed some newspaper clipping graphics to add to the story aesthetic which I’ve found really fun! So once I get details of Forever Mine polished for Forever Yours to make sense, the uploads will begin! Usually I don’t upload until I’ve edited but you guys have been so patient with me I’ll be throwing the chapters up as soon as they’re written.
          
          I’m so grateful for you guys sticking with me for this long. Lots of love xx

180,000 READS!
          
          Holy smokes! Forever Mine hit 180,000 reads!?
          
          I’ve been MIA from Wattpad, and writing, so the fact that people are still enjoying it while I’m a little Casper floating around is so heartwarming. 
          
          As always, thank you from all of my heart .

@MimisAngel9 First of all, thank you so much for your support! :)
            Yes. I’m hoping, hoping, hoping I’ll be uploading some chapters by the end of the year. I’m currently pregnant and I had a brutal first few months so I couldn’t even sit at my desk during this time. Now I’m out of the worst of it though, I’m just about to finish my small town romance edits and then I’ll be coming back to The Forever Series

Are you going to finish Forever Yours?

jfrussell

@Pebbiiej Aw no problem! I appreciate my followers so much so I always work hard to make an effort in chatting with them :) I’m glad you’re so excited! I’ve actually been working on some cool features so Forever Mine will be going under a good edit to match up with Forever Yours :)

@Pebbiiej As Thirsty Merc sang, someday someday…
            In all seriousness, yes. When? I’m really not sure. When I started The Forever Series I was unemployed living in the suburbs. I now work close to full time and live on a farm with lots of animals and maintenance so time is very limited to write. It’s killing me. But I have the outlay in my head, I just need to get it on paper
