          	While I’m still trying to get the creative juices flowing for chapter 4 of my latest book, I wanted to take care of something real quick! When I returned to Wattpad, I was searching for anyone still active in the Tolkien community—old friends and new faces—and I’m happy to say I found them! Because of that, I’ve decided to finally retire my original username, JulesForest17 </3 This was my very first account, and I’m so grateful for the lifelong friends I've made. ♡ I believe I’ve reconnected with everyone who remembers that name, so its time for a new era!

hello dear friends!
          
          I haven’t been feeling my best lately—this weather has been stirring up the worst of my chronic pain, and work has been busy with production season starting. I genuinely don’t know where the time has gone. I’m going to do my best to post a chapter update this weekend. The snow may change my work schedule, but if not, I’m so sorry for the delay. I promise I’ll make it up to you by double posting chapters after the fact. 
          
          Namárië, ~Lalwen

In rereading some passages from the Chronicles of Narnia- (y'know some light research for my book), I found some nuggets of info I had missed before. Undoubtedly because I was a teen reading them the first time, and probably didn't see it as important. 
          
          Although there's not much detail in C.S.Lewis' work about stars-- I found some fascinating things I had missed. Such as- Coriakin is a fallen star (⁠@⁠_⁠@⁠) TOTALLY FORGOT THAT-- the fact that he was a magician too is what I always associated with his character. As well as-- STARS REGENERATE --✨ like WHAT?! They come down to live among the islands, as these birds bring them a fireberry every morning from the VALLEYS OF THE SUN!!! Which makes them YOUNGER! And that's why constellations in the sky change. Now I'm definitely a bit rusty on my Narnia lore, hence me rereading these beautiful books again. But am I crazy to think that not everyone remembers these fine details???

I agree, I will probably do books first. Then audio later

@JulesForest17 That's a good point... I'd say books first, and start with Magician's Nephew. In my opinion, it's the one that's the most specifically geared toward children.

@JulesForest17 • Omg, hi! Happy New Year! I'm so sorry, I was wishing everyone and then completely forgot to wish you :( I had a feeling I missed someone oof.
            I'm good, I'm actually pretty laid back! I hope you get some free time in this new year, and I hope that it treats you kindly! I'm sending you buckets of love and good vibes! <3

I- Jules (can I call you that?), I literally went to my library a while ago and found 'Much Longer than Forever' on it, began reading and wondered WHO THE HECK IS THE AUTHOR TO THIS BOOK AND COULD I TALK TO THEM?
          
          AND THEN A FEW DAYS LATER, WHEN I SAW YOU FOLLOWED ME, AND I BASICALLY CLICKED ON YOUR PROFILE TO SEE HOW IT WAS (casual me business, nothing sus here) I ACTUALLY FLIPPED SEEING THAT YOU WERE THE ONE WHO PUBLISHED IT. LIKE WHA??
          
          I mean, no offense or smth, but I was genuinely shocked that the writer of one of my fav books followed a random person who read their book just like *snaps*
