Hey ya’ll, I wrote another chapter of LHoSH and it is so beautiful but the more I look at it I can’t help thinking it might not be as pivotal as I’d like it to be :/
          	They say that when you write a book, you should write the one you want to read. I for one like fast-paced situations where we get to know the characters as the adventure continues and this doesn’t feel like that…it’s long enough to be it’s own chapter but I have to work on shortening it to fit it into the real next turning point.
          	
          	Anywayuh
          	Thank you for your time :)

After 7 LONG months, I’ve officially risen from the dead. R4Rs…let’s catch up. I’m excited to see your progress and catch up on reading <3
          
          That being said, everything you read on my Wattpad is a manuscript and I’m 100% serious when I tell you: it WILL be traditionally published someday. I WILL be asking for arc readers, sending signed copies, etc. SOMEDAY. And as covert narcissist as it sounds—you should be so honored to watch it unfold on my journey to The #1 New York Times Bestseller List.
          
          Manuscripts are NOT meant to be perfect. I’m open to the idea of editing, but I will no longer break my neck to meet an impossible standards. Primarily because so many of you enjoyed my writings without me doing so in the first place. I don’t know everything about writing. And that’s okay :)
          
          In the wise words of Taylor Swift, “You are not going nowhere just because you are not where you want to be yet.”
          
          This is the YET. I WILL get there.
          And that goes for any of you with bigger plans for your writings, anyone who was handed an UNFAIR REVIEW, anyone that just stresses and stresses because you need that chapter to be perfect—loves, you are doing something HUGE already. You are WRITING A BOOK. Not everyone can say they did that and you have the capacity to get it written! You. Are. Talented. And don’t you forget it <3
          
          A special thanks to @HappyCoati thank you so much for checking on me when you did. You really motivated me to come back and never give up on the chapter of my life. You’re a real one, and crazy talented. I missed reading DTOD sm and I can’t wait to get back into it ❤️❤️
          
          That being said, I’m off to fix some profile stuff up and I hope you’re all ready for a beautifully crafted, expertly outlined, with characters sculpted to be ultimately better— rewritten version of: Little Horror of Sunny Hill.
          
          Yours Truly,
          J.C. Agguire

@HappyCoati I’ve missed being here! Life has put me on such a hectic journey for the past few months and I’m so glad to see a friendly face at the end of the tunnel. Thank you for all your support. I haven’t forgotten a bit of DTOD because I’ve been so excited to read it. It’s seriously been lingering in the back of my mind as motivation! ❤️

@AgguireWrites007 I can't begin to tell you how happy I am to see you back, and how proud I am of you for regaining the confidence you deserve to have. You're not a covert narcissist, you're an amazing writer with an ambition that fits your talent, and I hope I'm on that list for getting a signed copy one you get published!! 
            This little update has made my day. Can't wait to read your new chapters, and to see you again in the comment section of DTOD!! <3 I've missed you

LIFE UPDATE:
          I will attempt to complete the first chapter of Keep Running on the 27th. My prologue will 100% be uploaded at midnight, EST. In the past month, my life has been nothing short of a disaster. My best friend died, I moved out spontaneously, and I’m inching myself closer to stability away from my terrible family.
          
          Thanks for everyone who has stuck around.

Hello Everyone.
          I am back and here to stay. Keep Running will be released on JUNE 27th, 2022.
          In the meantime, I apologize for any inconveniences created by my absence in R4R partnerships.
          My passion for writing has returned but it took a long time.
          As you all know, my best friend died in a car crash on June 1. He was the Harry to my Hermione, the Laurie to my Jo March, and most importantly, the Kyle to my Carmen (quite literally. Kyle Santiago was HEAVILY inspired by him, and shares the same birthday: April 26th.)
          As you can imagine, it was a devastating blow and I still can’t make it through the day without getting choked up. For so long that man was my everything and I haven’t spent a day without him since I was thirteen years old. He knew everything about me and loved me unconditionally.
          I can’t say how active I’ll be as I mourn.
          
          I’m very eager to share more of my first draft of Keep Running with all of you. A lot has changed and returned to what I originally planned and Stan is the new protagonist which couldn’t be more exciting.
          
          Thank you all so much for your patience.

@-sadbrunette82102 I've been thinking a lot about you ❤️ glad to see you back

Hello everyone.
          
          My life is on a downward spiral from bad to worse. As my sister retrieved my nephew from my care tonight, and all I could think about was the crappy review I’d gotten, she gave me the news that one of my best friends passed away in a car accident this evening.
          
          The events just unfolded moments ago, so as you can imagine I’m in shock writing this. Needless to say, I will not be active on Wattpad for a few days. I scheduled Keep Running to be republished next Monday, but that will also be postponed. 
          
          

AgguireWrites007

@HappyCoati hey, thanks for your kind words. Hopefully I’ll be back soon but I honestly can’t focus on anything I love without feeling stressed until I know he’s placed to peaceful rest. I gotta say, I’ll never forget this message. The past five days have been the worst time of my life.

@-sadbrunette82102 I'm so sorry this happened to you, that's horrible :( 
            Take some time off to rest and recover, we'll be still be there for you when you come back ❤️

ATTENTION READERS OF KEEP RUNNING.
          
          My long-awaited review has dropped and I was commended for my patience (: But I gotta say I’m disappointed in the result. I must have forgotten who I asked for it from because what I got in return was a blatant disregard for all common sense about what was being read, total deconstruction of my storyline (that was loosely remembered by the reviewer to begin with), and overall spiteful comments about what I had written.
          I understand having grammatical errors. That is something I can correct, and I looked forward to this review because the reviewer is so educated about grammar and all of its forms.
          But NEVER have I read something so blatantly IGNORANT and UNIMAGINATIVE about character perspective, and my ability to convey a story to my readers.
          It kind of scares me because people will read the said review, form an entirely false opinion, and go about their day believing I’m a SHlT WRITER. I could go on longer about how annoyed I am, but these messages have limits so:
          
          ⚠️As per previous announcements, R4R will continue as normal (meaning I will still read your works to maintain our schedule)
          BUT Keep Running will be unpublished so I can edit what I have to please my inner child.
          YOU DO NOT have to re-read any progress you've made when it's been replaced, and I will DM each of you the changes made if you so desire.
          
          you can read the infamous train-wreck of a review here:

          Lastly, thank you for reading this far. If you yourself have any complaints about Keep Running or any helpful advice feel free to reply here or DM me. I need it at a time like this.

@-sadbrunette82102 Exactly. It irked me badly honestly. Don’t take the review to heart, they clearly don’t know what they’re doing.

@HappyCoati I had such high hopes because this person reviewed LHOSH and did pretty fine with it. They made solid points that I also saw as an issue with that work but this felt like it was reaching and completely different from my expectations. It hurt even more that it took so long to be released.
Responder

AgguireWrites007

@_Rizz_ THANK YOU! It was really the disregard for ANYTHING about my characters that irked me. I’ve put so much effort into them and their lifestyle and it kills me to see someone just nitpick everything that should be self-explanatory by analyzing the plot (something you’re supposed to do as you review.)

Guys I found my old cellphone from when I was 13. I’ve found several silly memories on it, from a gallery chock full of Dipper Pines and Carl Grimes, to a weird selfie I attempted without my front camera, and a fanfiction that made me laugh my a$$ off. (I was surprisingly good at writing for being thirteen, but the escalation of the storyline was complete crap!!)
          	But what has made me the happiest about finding it is the music library. My 13 year old self was so damaged but so optimistic. I really needed this to remember who I was when I was like Carmen and Stan, but also to motivate my current self. There’s so much childlike innocence inside that stupid little cellphone, and I’ve reconnected with a song that I used to listen to to keep myself alive.
          	My childhood was, to say the least, not ideal. But I was still so happy and optimistic because I knew no different. Children are so resilient because they don’t understand the gravity of any situation they find themselves in. From such a young age, I was aware that my life wasn’t normal, but I chose to stay happy. I found something else in the gallery of the phone too, one of my favorite quotes:
          
          ❝you can never choose where you come from,
          but you can always decide where you go from there.❞ — Stephen Chobsky.
          
          	Children are so wise without realizing it. If you have a child in your life, remind them they’ll miss their current mindset in a few years, even if growing up is so hard!
