Please check out The Plot Against My Love Life, I hope it makes you laugh!! Sometimes you see a short story prompt and you just get the urge to write it

Omg, I’m about to start rereading book 1 so I can remember everything, but all of my votes are deleted :(((((((

@ffairyfolk these Wattpad bugs are so funny at this point, like from a programming perspective, I don't understand how votes can randomly disappear.. but who cares as long as you're reading ❤️

Would you consider publishing the Ghost perfume series? I’d love to have a proper copy
natalisghosts
@aussie1846283 not even a question, it's something I've been thinking about a lot! I've started to look at Ghost Perfume to give it a round of edits, and I wonder if I could self-publish it before the end of the year ❤️

Hi! i can’t wait to start reading Ghost Thorns! are you planning on releasing chapters soon?
natalisghosts
@ave3344 Hi!! I'm really sorry for the wait. Basically my problem is that the cover is not ready, for unrelated reasons (including that my beloved cover artist has a full-time real job, isn't that weird ..) anyway, the past week I kept thinking that the cover might be ready soon, but I think it might be best to let it take the time it needs, and in the meantime, yes, I'll start uploading! I'm going to get the first chapter ready today so I will start releasing tonight or tomorrow :) thanks for your patience so far!

Hi everyone! Just some updates from me because I know I've been quiet lately and fell off the newsletter without explaining.
So first, I wrote a prologue from Michael's POV to Ghost Perfume that I think is LONG overdue. I uploaded it today so any new readers and rereaders can enjoy it. And if you're a rereader, I'd love to know what you think! If you wish you'd have had this prologue the first time, or if you'd have preferred not to know it hehe .. it's an experiment, adding this prologue.
Plus, the cover for Ghost Thorns should be ready by late June, so that's when I'll start publishing Book 3 chapters.
To be honest, I've been in such a funk for a while, feeling anxious, and like I make decisions with my life (like with focusing on writing) that are the complete opposite of the decisions everyone I know makes. Surely they're all right if they're acting this way, if they're pouring all energies, talk and worries into careers and marriages, they must know something I don't, and meanwhile time is passing while I make Ghost Thorns longer and longer without finishing it. Anyway I hate this insecurity, I never thought it would creep up on me, I used to be more carefree. Then it gets harder to write because I question the value of every sentence. I'm finally talking myself out of this state, and writing Michael's prologue helped because I think it's only now, when I got to nearly the end of Ghost Thorns, that I understand Michael enough to express exactly what he was thinking before the start of Ghost Perfume, and it makes me fall in love with him and feel less self-conscious about writing in general.
Love you all and here's to being carefree xx

LOVE the prologue! I feel like it’s a great snippet of Michael’s thought process and character before Rose’s POV fully begins. The prologue will be a wonderful touch for new readers (and a sweet re-read for others.) ❤️
Yay about the cover and new book chapters!! I’m so excited to read it. Your hard work and dedication to your passion is admirable. Cheers to being carefree and pursuing your goals in writing!!

Absolutely love Ghost Perfume and Ghost Silk! I just finished reading Ghost Perfume for the third time and am about to reread Ghost Silk As a reader, it's obvious how much love, work, and dedication you put into your writing. I'm looking forward to Ghost Thorns and all your future projects!
natalisghosts
@Pomegranate_Kisses Thank you so much! That you reread them is my favorite favorite thing to hear ❤️ I can't wait to start sharing Ghost Thorns (this summer for sure) once I like enough of the draft, though so far it has probably been the hardest of the three to write, but it's quite long already and getting there to a sharable form

If you recently subscribed to the newsletter, I'll resend to you today the last several emails with previews/additional scenes, so don't worry about missing anything from them. (I just found out I can do that x)

@ImNotGoingAnywhere that is so great to hear, I'll keep going on just the same <3 I was just laughing about the too many words feeling, since I still have it, together with the feeling that the book needs many more words. I'm very rational like that. Wishing you the very best too!!

@natalisghosts Hi Natali! I just read your writing diary and the scrapped but canon excerpts and I really enjoyed them, please keep them coming! Also, I definitely wouldn’t mind reading "too many words" if it means I get to enjoy more of the slow burn between Rose and the guys ❤ Wishing you the best of luck, I can’t wait to read Ghost Thorn! :D

I just finished ghost perfume and im about to start reading the next book, literally one of the best books ive ever read and am so excited to read ghost silk. I cant wait until the third book comes out!! Keep up the amazing work❤️
natalisghosts
Excited to let you know I'll send out the newsletter every 2 weeks (starting today) with a brief writing diary and excerpts for Ghost Thorns, and we'll do this till I begin uploading chapters to Wattpad :)
Anna has just started working on the book cover, so that's not ready to share yet, but I made a sort of mood board for the time being to stand in place of the cover.
Hope you enjoy it!
