Hi, everyone :)
          	
          	Expect an update for You Again tomorrow! We're nearing the end of this book, about 10-15 chapters left. And just an FYI, ALL of these chapters are going to take longer to edit because there's SO much happening and I want to make sure the feels are FEELING and there's enough momentum to gain readership for the next book in the series. 
          	
          	There's so much I've changed (but for the better, in my opinion) since I first wrote this story back in 2018 and I'm SO SO SOOOOO ready for this book to be published and have a physical copy of my book after all these years. I've really loved reexploring Katie and Leon's mind and heart as well as rewriting their story and seeing your reactions whether you've read the story before or you're reading it for the first time. 
          	
          	Thank you all for the continued support and patience ❤️

Hi, everyone. As some of you may or may not have noticed, I've been MIA for most of 2023, whether that be on social media or Wattpad. I know I don't owe anyone an explanation, but I feel that it's necessary given how many of you do care about me and want to know if I'm alright. So here it goes. 
          
          2023 has been one of THE most challenging and depressing years for me. I've gone through many changes (some positive, some not), I've endured a lot of trauma from my health complications to grief to just overall negativity and challenges that I won't get into full detail here, and stress, LOTS of stress. 
          
          And now that I've reached yet, another year without reaching my goal of publishing You Again, I've found myself getting especially disappointed because this is NOT how I wanted it to be. I've hardly written at all this year, and that's saying a lot considering all I've done is write for a solid 5 years. It's absolutely heartbreaking to me. But I just haven't been feeling myself these days, and I'm really trying to get it together because I miss writing and I miss my readers so, so much :(
          
          I'm making it one of my main goals in 2024 to get back into the swing of things when it comes to writing. I have so many ideas for my past books that I'm editing and even new books that I can't wait to share with you all. 
          
          In the meantime, I hope each and every one of you have a good holiday season and I wish you all the very best❤️

Hi, everyone! It's been a while since I last updated You Again and I just wanted to reassure you guys that I haven't forgotten about Leon and Katie, I've just been incredibly busy and struggling with some personal issues. I'm going to try to update soon as well as get caught up on my R4Rs❤️

I've been debating whether or not to post this as it's personal and I don't have all of the answers just yet, but I've decided that I'm going to need all of the love and support I can get from my friends and family.
          
          On Tuesday, I had an ultrasound done on my kidneys to check for a hereditary illness called polycystic kidney disease. Prior to my ultrasound, I was positive that I would get results stating that I was in the clear and didn't have it. But during my ultrasound, I felt a shift in energy and knew something wasn't right deep in my gut, and I'd told my Mom that afterward but she insisted that I remain positive. Unfortunately, not even an hour had passed when my doctor had called me to confirm that I have cysts on both kidneys and more than likely have the disease and that I need to see a kidney specialist.
          
          There's so much up in the air with my health and to say that I'm not scared would be both a lie and an understatement. I'm feeling so many negative emotions right now that I won't get into publicly, but I'm trying my best to stay as positive as I possibly can. 
          
          I'd really appreciate it if everyone could keep me and my family in their thoughts, prayers, positive vibes, or whatever else you may believe in during this time. As you can imagine, this news is taking its toll on everyone involved. Thank you all in advance❤ I love y'all❤ 
          
          I'm going to try to get a new chapter out for you all as soon as I can. For right now, I'm trying to focus on my mental and emotional health as I process all of this news so please continue to be patient❤

@jenzieforlife101 thank you so much❤ unfortunately there's no way to heal/recover from the disease, there's a medication to slow down the progression of cysts but that's about it. That's part of what makes this diagnosis so difficult.

I’m so sorry to hear that, hon. Take care of yourself, take a break from writing, do whatever it is deemed appropriate and necessary for you to be at ease and safe. Take care, hon. I truly wish you all the best and pray for a safe recovery ❤️❤️

To my current and future R4R:
          
          If I've already read your book, and you've yet to start mine or communicate with me on why you haven't, I will NOT continue reading yours. The whole point of doing a R4R is to gain readership for BOTH parties, not just one of us!
          
          Don't get me wrong, I'm all for supporting fellow and upcoming writers, but if I'm doing a R4R with you and not getting the same type of support in return, I feel used and I will not tolerate that as it isn't fair to me.

@krissy_writer yes, this is very frustrating! :-(

krissy_writer

@Pollyf79 yes, that's exactly what I'm going through right now! I've read a couple stories in the last month and a half, most of which were ongoing (which is fine), but the writers I'm referring to haven't done the same in return or given me some form of communication on whether or not they'll read my book or why they haven't yet. And some of writers were the ones that asked me for a R4R in the first place. 
            
            Like I said, I'm ALL for supporting my fellow writers, but this just isn't my definition of supporting one another and helping each other grow. If anything, it's using the reader (in this case, it would obviously be me) for their own personal gain and that isn't cool.

@krissy_writer I feel this! I've been pretty lucky with any official R4Rs I've been part of, but I have occasionally in the past just  been ghosted by one or two after they've barely read a chapter and I've read far more of theirs, and you do just end up thinking "why am I bothering?"

To anyone I may be doing a R4R with: 
          
          I'm sorry I haven't gotten to your book yet, I've been realllly busy. I'm more than likely going to read the ongoing books first since there's less chapters than the completed stories, but I'm making it my mission to get caught up/read your books in March! ❤
