*VIRTUAL HUG*

ugh thanks girl! My brain feels like jelly, I had an anatomy exam this morning and just finished my physics one. I can’t wait to just go home tomorrow and not have any responsibilities for a few days!

I just remembered I still haven't replied to your message! But happy birthday girlfriend! Hope you have a great day! <3 <3 <3

LOL, I was like, "Where did she go?" But thank you my darling Patricia. It was indeed a great day. Thank you for the birthday wishes. I love you!

LISAAAA! How are you? :D

Hey lovie! I miss you. I'm pretty good. I'm trying to get my brain back into writing mode so I can finish the story conversion I was doing. Not sure why I can't focus on anything lately. But otherwise, I'm good. How are you, my darling?

Lisa! I honestly don't know how to begin this. But first of all, I want to let you know how much I enjoyed reading Stardust and Gift Exchange. I was glad I didn't look them up on the prompt list because you had me reeling with every twists and turns especially Stardust! I totally didn't see 'that' coming. And I just really loved Reagan's character! She's funny, smart, kind, and she takes no sh*t.

(2) Gift exchange was a fun read as well! I would love to see Josh join some kind of reality show someday. And like always, I love your brain so please write more! Love you!

Aw, girlfriend. I love you! Thank you for taking the time to read my Secret Santa submissions. Even though they were both very different, I had so much fun writing each of them. Many times, I go for the angst when I’m writing a one-shot, so Gift Exchange was super fun for me because it was just a straight up comedy/fluff piece. I kind of had to brainstorm and write that one on the fly, and for some reason a lot of my of my funniest/craziest stuff comes out when I’m most sleep deprived. (See: both of these submissions and The Mermaid. LOL!) It definitely had a different tone than what I think I’m usually known for (maybe?), and I love that. I’m really happy other people enjoyed it as well. 

Stardust was much more planned out, obviously, as the length shows you. I was originally going to write another story. In fact, I started writing another story, and then I decided it would be too long, and I would never finish it. Then I came up with this random idea, and I loved it. But then I started to write it, and I didn’t know how the hell I was going to express what I saw in my mind in words. That was a difficult task. But once I finally figured it out, the rest just kind of flowed out of me. Then it just grew and grew and grew until it was longer than I know I ever expected. I worked on it nonstop for about 2 weeks, often in the middle of the night because apparently that’s when my brain is the most interesting. Ha ha. 

I really appreciate the fact that you loved Reagan’s character so much. I know you usually read/write Joshifer, so I’m really flattered that you connected to one of my original characters so much. I loved creating her. I loved creating this “alternate universe” version of Josh. In fact, both my stories had AU versions of Josh, which, funny enough, despite all of the stories I’ve written about him in the last four years, I’ve never done an AU version of him. That was a lot of fun, and I want to do some more I think. We’ll see! But I will be honest. I love a lot of things I’ve written. I’m proud of a lot of things I’ve written. I think Stardust is up there with one of my favorites, though. It has so many different elements in it. So of course I’m some really happy that the people who read it enjoyed it so much. And of course I’m very happy that the people I wrote these stories for enjoyed them so much.

Thank you for saying you love my brain. My brain was seriously in disarray for the last several months, and I couldn’t get anything to come out. Then all of this flowed out of me, so I was happy to be writing again. I wish I could write more. I definitely wish I could write as much and as often as other people do. But I’ve never been able to do that. I kind of just go where the inspiration takes me. I’m definitely hoping to write more this year, though I don’t know who or what it will be about.

And you know I love your brain, my dearest Patricia. You write so well, you hit me with the most incredible angst, you make me laugh so hard, and you also employ such interesting techniques with your writing as well. I wish you would write all the time, too! (Still waiting for you to send me the third part of Gone. K thanks bye!) I’m going to send you a message about your submission because I told you I would bug you when you posted it. Ha ha.

I love you, my friend. Thank you for these messages. <3

Hope you had a wonderful Christmas, Angela! <3

Thank you, honey! I did! I hope you did as well. I’m so blessed and thankful to have so many wonderful tumblr friends. How did you spend the day?

[myusernamehere]

Let me just tell you that I love reading your tag novel <3 <3

LOL, thanks love! A lot of times I just feel like I’m talking to myself in the tags. Ha ha. Glad somebody appreciates it. <3

One of the best things to come out of my Tumblr experience has been discovering you and your blog. You've made my time here worth it and I am just so freaking happy you exist. Pass it on to the people you feel the same about. I guarantee that they need to hear it and will more than appreciate the sentiment. Everybody can use a little love around here. (PS I miss you too).

My Patricia! I miss you so much. I’m going to respond to your fan mail in a bit, but thank you so much for sending me this message. You know I feel the exact same way about you. I love you, chica! <3
