hi, friends! 
          	
          	I emerge with a new thing! everyone say hi to Stubborn Petty Teammates (or SPT, because I like its silly acronym title), an adult romance with hockey (which really needs more goalie love, so I provide), rivalries and roommates, and that one time I became convinced I could make southern accents hot: https://yamur.dijitalkalp.com/story/406344998
          	
          	it will be updated as much as possible while I work on it. I already have a decent backlog, so it should be frequent (:
          	
          	I hope everyone is having an enjoyable week!

Hello 
          I stumbled upon one of your books and i would like ask. 
          How do you make your book covers

yumyumcheeks

@kae-ruby Oh Thank you very much

@yumyumcheeks The cover for Crushed Hearts was made by Wattpad! The designer’s name is Louise De Ramos. They made it for me specifically for Wattpad Originals, so l don’t have any other information on how it was made, unfortunately.
            
            My other cover designers are @lantea- (for Brightest Star and the Starlight Series), @-MilaSteele (for Always/ Never and Wynne Can't Swim), @Nicoismysenpai (for Paper Masks), @randompeephere (for The Edge of No Tomorrow), and graphicallykiara (for Puzzle Pieces, who is sadly a deactivated user now). I request from different graphic artists a lot to vary the look across my profile and spread some love around to the amazing people we have here on Wattpad, so l recommend to search around for open “graphics shops,” as there are tons of amazing ones with incredibly talented people.
            
            If you want to make some covers yourself, I recommend Canva. The rest of my covers not mentioned above were made that way by me, with pictures sourced from Pexels or other copyright-free sites.
            
            Hopefully that helps! Feel free to ask any other questions! (:

Oh I thought it was an app you used in making it although, i am not in need of a book cover anytime soon. But I won't mind you referencing me the cover artists for future purposes

housekeeping check-in, hi :)
          
          Brightest Star got an Amby! It’s been a few years since I’ve thought about this story so I’m very thankful <3
          
          CH standalone progress is going. slowly, but it is going. I will likely be editing it to post during my spring break.
          
          In the meantime, I caught the hockey romance bug, so I am posting a new thing in March to make up for the long wait. It’s just as fun, just with less imposter syndrome stress as I work through finishing the Crushed Hearts standalone, and it has been giving me a great brain break, so I figured I’d share it and see what happens.
          
          No ONC for me this year, but feel free to chat about yours if you’re entering! ♡♡

@kae-ruby Congrats on the Amby!

happy Friday! just dropping a note that Crushed Hearts has been marked complete (: the total coin price seems to be currently set at 60. chapters already unlocked will remain as such.
          
          my message board will be the spot for updates going forward for my writing progress (as often as possible!) while I work on future projects offline.
          thank you all so much for the support!! ❤️

hello, friends! It's that time... spooky day!! It's also the finale of Crushed Hearts <3 read it here: https://yamur.dijitalkalp.com/story/372779664
          
          Saying goodbye to a story is always hard, and this one meant so much to me. While this is the end of the road for me in Originals, I am so grateful that Wattpad took a chance on me, and my stories, and saw something in my abilities. I am also so grateful for anyone who read it and enjoyed, because you are all the absolute best!!
          
          housekeeping updates, or the "what now?" updates:
          I am taking a break from regular posting for a while. I prefer to post once I'm confident in the draft I have, which means I will be waiting until the story I'm working on is fully done before I put it on here. Currently, I'm making my way through the second standalone in the Crushed Hearts series, which can be read without the knowledge of the first one. It will also be totally free to read!
          I plan on posting with updates as much as possible, so as to keep me accountable, while I write. I am also bouncing around with different plans and tandem secret-working on other drafts (more sports, lots more romance, workplace romance?) so I also have new, exciting things on back-burners to explore.
          
          This experience has (I feel) improved my writing by bounds, so I'm not leaving the contemporary space anytime soon. I guess I live here now.
          
          Enjoy your spooky day, everyone! Keep being awesome!!

kae-ruby

@laurendoubleu THANK YOU!! The secret tandem writing totally should be a Tanner contemporary romance where he just has a little fun time falling in love and the wacky time machine plot is just like. There LMAO
