Today, my Wattpad account turns four and I turn 22. To have 11 completed works to my name, including a novella with nearly 1,000 reads, has been a gift and something I never would have been able to accomplish if not for the support from this community. Thank you to my readers, my followers, and my fellow writers for inspiring me to keep moving forward. I plan to keep at it as we enter 2026, and maybe, just maybe, you’ll hear about a new project sooner rather than later this year. 
          
          Until then…
          
          Happy reading (and writing, living, & loving),

Thank you so much for adding my Shorty's story to your collection and for all the feedback. I can't wait to read yours 

Since I missed out on The Shortys last year, I told myself that I wouldn’t let history repeat itself this year! “Beige Faux Fur” is a short story set in 1962 Illinois and is my OFFICIAL entry for the 2025 Shortys! I can’t remember the last time I published back-to-back works, but this story and “Sea of Sunken Letters” were just begging me to put them to paper! 
          
          Thank you for all of the support, and as always… 
          
          Happy reading,

You have one more supporter!

Hello again, 
          
          I recently found out that my latest short story, “Sea of Sunken Letters” has officially qualified for Round 2 of the 2025 Amby Awards! I know I shouldn’t have favorites when it comes to my story collection, but this one comes close. ❤️
          
          Congratulations to all of my fellow followers/writers who made it to Round 2 as well! The competition seems pretty steep from here on out, but I’m grateful for the recognition nonetheless (and the nifty sticker). 
          
          See you all later, and as always…
          
          Happy reading,

Hi

Greetings to all of my Wattpad supporters from far and wide, 
          
          Happy Amby Awards season! Like many out there, I decided to participate in one of Wattpad’s largest contests this year. “Sea of Sunken Letters” is a short story that takes place in 1961, a “calmer” year in the decade that brought some big changes to the U.S. With family tensions and a twist, “Sea of Sunken Letters” is one of the longest short stories I’ve written, and I can’t wait to see it find its readers. 
          
          This year has been a rough one, and there was a point where I did not think I’d return to this platform. Or writing at all. But my love for the art is too deep, too engrained in who I am, that I couldn’t imagine a life without it. I appreciate all of the love and patience my readers have shown me and my stories, and I will get to that novel one day. 
          
          Thank you all. Truly. 
          
          Happy reading,

Hello my lovely supporters, 
          
          What a lifetime it has been since I last checked in. “Dishes and Dreamboats” was my last project of 2024–all the way back in May! I apologize to those who have supported my work and have patiently waited for me to support theirs. I wish I could share a picture of my Wattpad library right now just to let you all know that your works are top priority. But, I’ll have to ask you to take my word for it. 
          
          I’ll keep this short, as today marks my 21st birthday and my third-year Wattpad anniversary. Wattpad is one of the only platforms I’ve felt comfortable sharing my work, and I am thankful for the contest wins, the nearly 1k reads on my novella, and the beautiful writers I have met during this three-year journey. 2024 might have seemed quiet for me, and it was. I’m still finding my way, and I know the sun will rise again soon. ❤️
          
          In the coming weeks, I will be sharing updates on my debut Wattpad novel. I’m anticipating a summer release, where we’ll be taking a trip to the 1960s! Stay tuned, and for the first time of 2025…
          
          Happy reading, 
          
          Stephanie xoxo

@Ab_Ochuwa Hi! Thank you for reaching out. I’m doing okay, I’ve just been very busy with schooling. How are you? I see that you’ve published a new novella! 

Hi! Thank you for being reading my story so far and your wonderful comments on it. It genuinely lifts up my spirits. You are truly a lovely reader.
