Hi all - sadly I didn’t win the Wattys or get on the shortlist for The Annual Frenzy. Consequently, I’ve unpublished it and hope to get it self published.
          	Thank you all for your support!! :)

Hey everyone! I hope y’all are having an amazing start to your fall! 
          
          I’ve been gone for a few months to decompress after writing “The Annual Frenzy” but am ready to get back to writing and reading on here! 
          
          Feel free to send your works to me over private message - I would love to read some! 
          
          Happy Monday! :)

"The Annual Frenzy," as promised, is COMPLETE!
          https://www.wattpad.com/story/313873974-the-annual-frenzy
          
          30 chapters and an epilogue. Hours and hours of work. Only 2 and a half months! I am so proud of myself, and I can't wait to see what you all think! 
          
          Wishing all other writers GOOD LUCK in the Watty's! And most importantly, wishing all the best to my lovely readers, my most loyal supporters, and everyone who helped me accomplish a dream of mine: to write a 50,000-word story! 
          
          Onwards and upwards, my friends!

Good afternoon all! I hope everyone has been having a great week so far! I've been updating LIKE CRAZY this week, trying to get The Annual Frenzy done by 11:59pm tomorrow. 
          I have about 2 more chapters to write and then the brief summary for the Wattys judges. 
          Chapter 27 was just posted, and you can expect the next three as well as the epilogue to be posted before that deadline tomorrow. 
          Happy binge-reading ;) 
          
          Another big thank you to all who have supported my work lately! I really appreciate it, especially considering this summer didn't really pan out the way I'd expected (with my breakup and all). 
          
          As a kind reminder -  for those who I agreed to do read-for-read with, please don't hesitate to reach out. With everything erupting into chaos in my life, I may have forgotten to read your story. Make sure to call me out on it, and I'll make sure to read :) I'm here to support fellow writers as well, I've just been preoccupied lately with finishing my own story and taking care of myself. 
          
          Anywho, happy reading and have a great rest of your Thursday!

Hello, my lovely followers and readers of "The Annual Frenzy"! I'm planning on writing 10 chapters in the next week and a half! Wish me luck!!
          I'll be posting about five chapters a week for the next two weeks, so get ready to do a lot of reading! 
          I appreciate all the support and love over the past two months. With my breakup, I was feeling very lost and alone. It helped to have writing and my readers to keep my spirits up! 
          Onwards and upwards. Next stop - the Wattys 2022!

Hi all - as some of you may know from my most recent update of “The Annual Frenzy,” I had to break up with my boyfriend of 2 years. I’m an emotional mess to say the least. I feel like my heart has broken in two. 
          
          I still plan on finishing TAF before august 18 in time for the Wattys, but I’ve realized I need to take perhaps the next week to just breathe and take care of myself.
          
          Accordingly, I’ll be publishing chapter 20 tonight but then won’t be publishing another chapter for about 7 days. 
          
          This does mean that I’ll be posting more than 3 times a week after my break in order to finish before the Wattys. 
          
          I hope that’s ok with everyone, and I truly appreciate the loving support. Thank you all. Writing over the past month had brought me so much joy when I wasn’t feeling much of anything. I’m determined to finish and enter it in the Wattys and I’ll keep the promise I made at the start - it WILL be marked complete by Aug 18. I just need a small rest. 
          
          Thinking of you all! I hope everyone is having a good week and you know that someone out there cares about you. 
          
          XOXO - A
