Long time, no see, guys! How have y'all been? I'm dropping by to talk about what's happening with my stories (to those still awaiting updates). I'm still working on "Born from the Shards" and "Starry Wonders: Dreams of the Past" (btw, can't believe it's been 7-10 months since I last updated, smfh). Those two stories are kicking my butt, but I'm finally starting to get some motivation to work on them again. Hopefully I can have those updated soon!
          	
          	I'm currently focusing on the Starry Wonders rewrite and am in the process of reading the story in its entirety for the first time, taking notes and all for revision. (And oh boy, what an experience that has been.) This will be a *complete* rewrite of the story with new scenes and details. So, while it is the same story, it will be a bit of a different experience for those reading it again. ;)
          	
          	And can I just say how grateful I am to those of you who read SW? Because whew chile, these chapters are a dumpster fire and it's insane how my writing style has changed after four years. (Yes, SW came out four years ago! I feel ridiculously old just thinking about it.) It's been a slog to get through because of the amount of cringe I'm experiencing. But I'm getting through it. Slowly but surely. Wish me luck, guys.
          	
          	Anyways, thank you to those who have read any of my stories. I'm incredibly grateful, and I hope that you enjoy what else I have coming. If I can inspire just one person with my stories, I will have achieved my goal as a writer. Thank you! ❤️❤️❤️

@Daydayskid Hey there! Hope you're doing well, too. ❤️ And thank you so much for the feedback! I've been working on figuring out what aspects of the story to alter or improve upon, so this is really helpful in seeing what others want to read. Michael being child-like and sweet is one of my favorite aspects of the story, as well, so I'm glad you enjoyed it. I hope the rewrite meets your expectations! ❤️❤️❤️

@zan8901 i heard about “midnight sun” and i’ll definitely take this into consideration. i’ve heard that the movies took so much of the personality away from the characters. thx so much for the suggestion sis! <33

@THEKIMPRINT I really enjoyed them, haha. People clown on them so much (I used to be one of them) but Stephenie Meyer actually includes so much lore/backstory within the books that the movies are never able to touch upon, like with the Volturi, for instance. I'd recommend 'Midnight Sun' if you want Edward's POV. (You'll want to read the first book from Bella's POV to compare it to. Makes it much more interesting!) He's hilarious, dramatic, and absolutely insane, lol, and you get to learn more about the other Cullens, too! It also includes things like how, Edward, upon first meeting Jacob, is envious of (pre-werewolf) Jacob for being pure, good, kind, and unmistakably human, which he himself can never be. Makes me more sad we had to get such an intense, antagonistic love triangle when they could've been bros the whole time, smh. Also, there's some cool Edward and Seth interactions in Eclipse that I LOVED! Definitely wish the wolves and the vamps could have just been best buds 'cause there's so much potential there. . 
            
            Sorry. I had an opportunity to glaze the Twilight books and I took it.  They're not high art or anything, but they're a lot of fun. :)
            
            ❤️❤️❤️

@Feather144 It is not disappointing!  Your writing style puts me in mind of Toni Morrison!
