hey !!
          	
          	remember that time in march when i was like i'll give u an update soon 
          	
          	and then i vanished like 2 weeks later?
          	
          	sorry!!
          	
          	For those of u who checked in on me: thank you. More than i can express.
          	
          	the things that happened, in roughly chronological order:
          	
          	1. I moved out! And i wanna say, generally: it's been good. I think I've got friends? In the same city as me? And I think maybe they like me. So I have a social life now ! Hence the initial pause in updates
          	
          	2. I nearly died ! Arguably a couple of times. Health is a weird thing. I'm working on it, I'm in no situation of imminent threat. Like: i'm fine. But there were a hott few months where I was Not Fine. Hence the disappearance that has 83 people reeling, I'm sure. 
          	
          	3. I've not been well. This is related to point 2. I'm gonna have to take a break from my job for a while. I'm hoping with the added time I can focus on my health, have some free time and start to return to Wattpad (!)
          	
          	TL; DR
          	
          	I'm   b a c k. 
          	
          	Updates for WITHOUT THE DRAMA will start tomorrow. I'm gonna try and do em daily for a bit, c how that goes. I'm still just doin what I can manage- honestly, trying to figure out what that is. 
          	
          	I won't be reading people's works still for a while yet. I don't take reading other people's stuff lightly- I put a lot of thought and concentration into it so I can keep track. I don't want to restart reading until I'm certain I can do a good job. I understand if that means people don't feel that they can continue reading my works for a bit. I'll be in touch once I know...what I'm doing, and what I /can/ do.
          	
          	Thx for not givin up on me, gang. Can't wait to be back 
          	
          	yours,

Lol your bio is one of the best I’ve ever read. Can’t wait to read your works!

Thank you so much for adding it!! I hear you about getting back into that reading groove. Also, I’m so glad to meet another person who loves The Road; most people I meet think it’s too dark!

how r u doin, gang?? what's up, what's been goin on?
          
          tuq_joi, i hear u cry, we wanna hear what's going on with u!! 
          
          How kind of u to say so. Well, u know me. I've been floating around the ether lookin for a new hat. I'm thinkin a beret-meets-witch-hat-kind-of-a-deal. It's like a witch hat but it's not pointy, the whole top is a rounded flat bit like a, like a beret. You know? I think it would be a fashionable accessory. Versatile, too. The witch beret could be worn in all season imo. 
          
          Anyway, WITHOUT THE DRAMA chapter 12 is up!! Oh boy, time flies. ADVENTURES FOR A THOUSAND YEARS chap will probably be up in 10. idk. we'll see. 
          
          much love,

OK i know i said I was back last time, and then I wasn't /rly/ back, i get it, it's confusing. 
          
          i don't mean to toy with 85 hearts, i swear to u, not my intention. But hey, I am
          /coming/ BACK in my Own Personal Way and Method. I've been reading some people's stuff (quiet shout-out to emotional rollercoaster 'That's All I Have to Say For Now' by @ClaraYami, quirky horror-thriller  'Heart Graves' by @StrangeMcWeird and fantastic urban fantasy 'Seeking the Light' by @AletheaLyons)
          
          And I've been Doing Stuff!
          
          I was lucky enough to win the Adventure Category of @WattpadSeries Create a Trilogy competition !! @MediaDirectory kindly made me some of the coolest covers ever for THE ADVENTURES OF MO (u can c em now I've swapped em all over and uploaded them it's v cool). Thanks to them while I'm here- it was a clearly-run competition and magnificently handled <3
          
          I've also been madly trying to keep up with WITHOUT THE DRAMA updates- they're happenin, ok?? What more can u ask. That they be good? Jeepers. 
          
          But tuq_joi- i hear this cry from deep within the ether, the voice is both young and impossibly old- what about daily updates to ADVENTURES FOR A THOUSAND YEARS?
          
          lemme just cup my hands around my mouth so u can hear me deep within the clutches of the alternate realm: 
          S O R R Y
          W O R K I N' 
          O N 
          I T
          <3
          
          much love (as always)

Hello Tuq Joi! 
          
          Sorry, I don't want to intrude, but I noticed you being a follower and reader of fantasy and romance authors. Maybe you’d like to give the supernatural fantasy-romance ‘Regent’s Blood’ by M.J. Stephanos a chance as well. I’m a fan of her book and I think she deserves more readers and followers. 
          
          Best Regards GrandCookie
