Hey guys! A short story that's been in the works - shouldn't divert too much from my main projects but I do want to get it out there because it's very close to my heart. Updates will come a few days apart as it's already written, and the whole thing should be up within a month! https://www.wattpad.com/story/69970340

Wattpad! HI! (Anyone still around?) So, a few updates. I have finished my Master's degree! In the process, I have triggered a major episode of clinical depression! (Woo! (Not woo...)) So I have more time to write, and I hope to be back - my counselor told me I sound like a story-teller without me mentioning my writing, which made me feel good, and creating things is a direct anathema to the bleak pull of the void. I have time to be here now and I hope to be writing, but I am fragile and navigating the first weeks of my first anti-depressant prescription. (So far this includes tremors, extreme photosensitivity on already pale skin, and other fun side effects.) So expect to start seeing some things from me as I get rolling but nothing regular or predictable yet. That's it for now in terms of oversharing. ;)

Hi everyone! Thanks to all new followers and those who have added Inkblots to your reading lists. I'm sorry for falling off the face of the earth. I (unexpectedly) got accepted into Oxford and I have been getting through tons of paperwork and life-changey stuff and preparing to do a trans-continental move. (Eek.) That won't be until September but I'm afraid for now my writing has been tabled. I do think there's a nearly finished Inkblots chapter that I will get posted, but otherwise... the drought continues. Sorry!

Hello to all my lovely readers! I wanted to update you on why I suck right now. I'm in the middle of application to English Masters Degree programs, and things are pretty hectic because I procrastinated severely. So I'm manically over here GRE prepping and typing my Statement of Purpose and such, and my 'fun' writing is getting neglected. (Side note: if you are an academic with humanities application experience and you want to PM me and provide feedback on my SoP, I'll love you forever.....)
          
          For those of you who care not at all about my grad school but very much about your reading, the good news is I have a chapter of Inkblots that's only a few paragraphs short of ready to go. The bad news is after that you're in for a dry spell. Bear with me!

Helloooo friends. Um, I wrote a story for @AdventureCommunity 's contest, "To the Seas." But it won't be in the contest because (this is so embarrassing for an adult to a college degree to admit) I really didn't know what GMT stood for timezone wise and kinda just glossed over it and assumed Eastern time.
          
          So if anyone wants to read said not-going-to-be-in-contest-after-all story while I lick my wounds of embarrassment and disappointment, that is here: https://www.wattpad.com/186346971-a-breath-of-ecstasy-short-stories-flash-fiction

Hi, everyone! I wanted to let you know that I've put together a sort of brainstorm/photo inspiration board for each of my three full length projects (Inkblots, Gatebound, and Chasing Chaos).
          
          You can find those here if you're interested: http://weheartit.com/laurel_coronet/collections
          
          Some things will hopefully look familiar, but it's also a fun window into my creative process, and could even serve as a sneak peak for what's ahead in those stories!

Hi, everyone! I wanted to apologize for disappearing for two weeks. I was out of town, followed by a cold, followed by a horrific stomach flu. The good news is I'm alive.
          
          The bad news is Wattpad is telling me I have no notifications. This is clearly a lie. :( So I'm very sorry if I don't acknowledge comments or new followers!
