ANNOUNCEMENT:
          1. I am NOT stopping these stories.  
          2. To Repeat: I am NOT stopping these stories. 
          3. But I am BEGGING for understanding: I am going to be writing my original works. This will take TIME. Much of my time will be DEVOTED to learning how to be a better writer as I write my original manuscript.
          
          Guys - wattpad/AO3/Fanfiction.net have been my solace for over a decade, which is why I'm NOT STOPPING these stories.  
          
          But I need to try writing my original works: I'd rather die a failure, than die with regret. So I now, I need to try. And for that, I will need time. 
          
          I'm going to be writing "Keeping Fantasia" and "Friends Don't Do That" sporadically, because the characters and their stories are my mental sugar rush. But, again, it will be less frequent.
          
          This is difficult to write. These stories, this place, this community has been my fairytale sanctuary (which, again, is why I'm not stopping).  I love it here. I feel safe here. I am beyond grateful for the people who come to read the stories that came out my head and heart.  But I have to try. 
          
          So - here's to sporadic posting. Here's to an uncertain adventure ahead.
          
           "Second star to the right, and straight on til morning."
          
          oh yeah, one more thing.

Hi everyone -- I'm STILL drawing 908302938409 mermaids for MerMay, but writing  'Keeping Fantasia' and 'Friends Don't Do That' as well! Just going a little slower as I continue  to draw draw draw. Feels like mermaids are swimming in my brain 24/7 this past mo. As always -- keep writing, and if you are insta, keep your eye out for MerMay artists! They are ALL SO GOOD (I'm honestly just a little fish in big pond), but all the art is FREE for your EYES! Go support insta artists! 
          
          keep writing - I'll be posting again sometime in May!

DON'T WORRY I'M NOT GHOSTING AND I'M STILL WRITING KF and FDDT!!!
          But but but -- this month I am working HARD drawing for Mer May (what is Mer May you ask??? It's a daily challenge in May to draw a mermaid, based on a prompt)! Since my avatar is Ariel, the world's favorite mermaid, I can't pass this up.  I'm starting my sketches now, in dire hope that I can keep up with the load! 
          
           I'm also trying to broaden my art skills, which is hard but fun! SO I WILL BE WRITING EVERYDAY BUT POSTS WILL BE FEWER-ISH THIS MONTH. 
          
          And hey! If anyone is on instagram, find me on @gi.gi.key ! And if you like art, and you want to try MerMay, hop in, the water's great! 
          
          okay everyone -- keep writing

To avoid confusion - "Friends Don't Do That" is undergoing a few cover changes. Some people wanted to see Jinx a little more clearly on the front which I think is 3000% appropriate! Don't be alarmed if you see the cover change, it's still the same story

Hi wattpaders - fyi going on 2 week vacation. I'll be writing on the road and obsessing over my stories, but I won't be able to post. Damn the luck. Hopefully I'll have edited material to post in March!

Happy Holidays Wattpaders. IDK about your part of the world, but the snow queen is POUNDING where I live! Certainly will be a white xmas. Anyway - I had question if I was doing a Christmas short-story this year. Unfortunately no :( since I'm pushing hard to complete Keeping Fantasia. BUT -- feel free to revisit the XMAS themed stories I released the past 4-5 Christmas seasons! They are all "Making Fantasia" Prequels, and I think the messages are still pertinent. 
          
          Otherwise - happiest of holidays. As always, don't take your time for granted. Create, laugh, enjoy life, and push your brains into the world. 
          
          Happy Holiday Season. 
          Keep writing -

Hey it's me. No I haven't ghosted you (not intentionally). I'm in crunch mode for my  LAST test in late Feb. In March -- I'm headed back to Fantasia.  And I can't fucking wait.
          
          Headed back into my fortress of books and index cards. 
          See you all on the other side.

Happy Holidays Wattpaders. I take my LAST test in late Feb. In March, I will return to my stories.
          
          Don't take time for granted -- create, brainstorm, get off the phone and push you mind onto the world. Thank you for your patience as I study study study study study (and wish I was writing). 
          
          Happy Holidays.

Just curious: I would assume you’re not working on the Wendy Fairy anymore? I remember loving it. 

Remember me? I was utterly shocked to see that you were recently active on here. I have thought of you often over the years <3 If you find time, I would love to reconnect
