Writing after a deeply emotional and stressful few weeks is a trip, and I apologize if this is not up the usual standard. My head is still all tangled up with personal life things, nothing serious or too bad, it's just been a lot a lot a lot. I have started planning the rewrites for this book to hopefully prepare it for actual publication, and I'm trying to not let that influence finishing the story I've already started.

Lily and Bel are going to be getting more intense and more... uh, *intense* coming up soon. I have a short, slice of life kind of writing exercise that I did for some of the Belles about their hobbies and daily lives away from the desk, if you would be interested in that, just let me know. 

I sadly did minimal editing on this, so I apologize for the errors. As always, I look forward to your comments, theories, edits, and general thoughts! 

Hope to post again soon

Kat 💜

Before I read this... Greg, please. Okay... here I go...

Amber D. Baker

Would love and be honored to read anything you want to post about the Belles!

Makayla

Anything lily and bel related we will read I promise 😁

Thornblade

Alright, time to read but echoing everyone so far on the slice of life! If you're in the right space to do it it would be a joy to read ❤️

Joedraj22

Anything you post will be read and that's a money-back guarantee

Sorkabeth

Haven't read the chapter yet, I always reread the last one right before reading the new one, it flows better that way, but I would definitely love to read that slice of life piece about the Belles whenever you feel like posting it. I do hope this week is less overwhelming for you! And that you get some really good sleep !

Jessica Hengel

Bring on the slice of life! Also, life is fucking stressful, no need to apologize for being human 💜

Syd San99

I need to call my therapist 😭😭😭😭

Emily Anderson

When are they gonna find out she can give up on reincarnation so she can have kids with Bel!!! I am wigging out over this! Also would love the slice of life piece, sounds like a lot of fun.

Kim Bowie

You and Lily obviously share the overthinking thing; this chapter was brilliant. As much as I looked forward to the details of the flight, I really can't wait for the loophole reveal!

Kristiane Laucht

Not gunna lie, your ability to write emotions so viscerally that we can feel each and every one of them is absolutely amazing. It also sucks, because now my heart aches, and is settling from emotional whiplash. Fantastic work, and well worth any wait.

Kat 💜

My heart! My heart! My heart! Very much the emotional roller coaster tonight! Bel POURED his heart out! I personally can't wait for the first "I love you!" I think we all need it at this point! Also... Greg, please and thank you 💜💜💜

?Eli?

Such a good chapter as always!! I can't wait until they find the loophole! Also I would read anything and everything hell's belles related lmao

Peter Psareas

So good as usual. I laughed and cried. Cannot wait to find out how Lily can have kids. They will be such good parents. In my mind I am preparing for the chapter where Lily and Bel spill all. It will take a while to read through the tears. I bet Luci tells them how. I bet pregnant Lily will be a hoot. As always thank you for this wonderful book. I want a first edition signed copy, with signatures from all the characters

Jada treglown

I have visions of this being an amazing series of books and then movies and I’m looking forward to it all so much, I’m so invested in these lives

Peter Psareas

Please care for yourself. Write when you want. Live well. I think we all worry for you at times

Van Brewer

Definitely up to standard. Intense stuff, indeed. Didn’t have any impact on me at all (😭😭😭😭😭😭). I had hoped that Bel would have known otherwise and been the one to break it to Lily, but you crushed that one. Also- I do hope your life is interesting-complicated and not depressing-complicated. Best wishes and regards!!

Ashley Poindexter

NINJA 😍🥰 You’re a woman after my own heart, Jaysea!! I loved Ninja in high school. Bel pouring his heart out to Lily like that made me cry. And Lily realizing she was in love with Bel echoed how I realized I was in love with my boyfriend, so much so that it made me cry AGAIN. Also, I want a first edition copy of the book, with each character’s signature, if at all possible.

Van Brewer

Oh, and your readers, I believe, are insatiable. We always want more HB!!

Diesel Frog

I would love to see a slice of life about the Belles

Kyokosreflection

We'd love to read anything you write! And you got me teary eyed at work with this chapter 😢 😭

Thornblade

Yep, this brought all the emotions I expected now that I have time to get back here. You do yourself a disservice Jaysea, you are an impeccable writer! We're so lucky that you share that gift and passion with the world to tell these stories, they are a true delight. Also I'm going to echo, whenever you get this fully published and whatnot if signed copies are possible I'm gonna need like two copies of the book so I can have a second copy once I destroy the first copy from reading it a million times.

Amanda W

Completely up to standard!!! Don't short change yourself! I cannot wait for the next chapter! As for the editing I found it easy to read...will be anxiously waiting for the next part. If this does ever get published will def be adding to the bookshelf (hopefully a hardcover edition will be available I'm too hard on my paperbacks) keep up the good work..I also hope everything is ok in real life ..things always tend to work out in the end. Have a good evening girl!

Sarah Jorgenson

I would Love Slice of life for the the Belle's!!!!!

Stephen Hogan

Amazing work, as every chapter is! I always look forward to these, so thank you for them. Keep up the amazing work! Also would love for some slice of life!

ava

this series is my current hyperfixation, thank you for your service 🙌🫣🫡

Kate C

Well you gave me a new word I had never seen before…susurration, I had to look it up to see if it was a real word…I love learning new things

Thomas Forrest

Another great chapter as always!! I absolutely jumped on the emotional roller coaster of the chapter, without a doubt! I see so much of myself in Bel, and I hope to find my Lily, but until then, I’ll continue to live out my fantasy’s through your amazing writing! Definitely can’t wait for the I love you (and whatever happens afterward 😏🔥😂), as well as the emotional turmoil that is bound to unfold between the two of them whenever they find out they can have kids. To be honest, I can’t wait to read it all! Please remember to take care of yourself too! Here’s to hoping things get better for you soon!

Mänu Wüthrich

Wjat a lovely thiing to wake up to! Thanks :)

Veronica Gordon

Yes most definitely interested in the rest of the Belles!! Love your writing, so much emotion

Kwon MaiLi

This chapter is beautiful. And while definitely not the same (my husband's not a demon prince and i am not dead), i can feel lily's and Bel's grieve about not having children... This chapter hits really close to home, but it is still as lovely as ever! Thank you so much for creating the Belle's, I've been watching the TikToks since the very first video, and it is a really big part of my life now. Thank you for creating a safe space, Jaysea, and hell (hehe) yes, i want those other stories!

Keith Frederick

Awesome stuff. Don’t doubt your abilities! I will gladly read any story you care to give us.

Samantha Johnson

Absolutely adored it. I always wish for longer chapters cause i'm greedy...but could not ask for better :)

Tara

Your descriptions make everything come alive!

Luraa Lack

Stop doubting yourself girl that chapter was as amazing as all the rest even though it was hard for you with all your personal life issues going on you still crushed it it might have even been one of your best. You worry to much you are an amazing writer and this chapter proves it.

Judy Sullivan

Definitely would love a look at the slide of life !

Judy Sullivan

That was an amazing chapter! Actual tears over here!

Bri_cola

Such an amazing chapter!! Amazing work as always, and I would love that slice of life chapter 💜

Van Brewer

After the third read, I’ve decided that you are 100% right, it’s not up to standard, and as penance you should crank out another chapter, say, tomorrow? Hope it’s obvious that I’m kidding… you deal with a lot of big feeling interactions. This time I noticed how you give space for all those big feelings to unfold so they don’t pile up on us. I know I am repetitive but your tradecraft, and the story, just continue to improve. Hope you can take some quiet moments for yourself to let your days settle down a little bit.

Embeth Arreyn

Well now I'm crying again. Btw, there's a missed apostrophe at the bottom of page 11. But also I was crying too much to care. Gods, I can't wait to see who's finally able to tell them she can stay and get deified, and read their absolute joy about it. Now YOU. You stop doubting yourself and apologizing for quality, because this was wonderful. I loved the beats of emotion in all the playfulness. I loved the scene of them talking in the field; it was so poignant. I loved seeing Lily surrounded by kids, and I kept having to remind myself of where they're going so I didn't cry more. Thank you for creating my favorite comfort series. Between this and your videos, I'm not kidding. You introduced me to ACOTAR, and this beats it. I reread this and rewatch your tiktoks more than I reread Sarah J. Maas books. So you take that, and you quit apologizing. And good luck with all the life stuff!! I'm really happy for you about your grandfather's Jeep!!! Oh, and I almost forgot, I absolutely want to read that slice of life bit you mentioned!!!

Marloes

Everything you write is not only up to the standard, it's exceeding it. This was so beautiful and awe inspiring. Your character creation shining through in the smallest of side sentences it incredible. I'm the one writing the Penny fic on AO3 and if I do character work a tenth as well as you, I'm happy.

Ben Preheim

I would love to read a slice of life chapter! We don't get to see nearly enough of their life outside the desk!

Jes Land

I agree with everyone. You breathe life into your work and I love every chapter. I look forward to reading the slice of life piece.

Xypher SkotI

Oof! This chapter gave me so many feels! I love love love Lily and Bel, I just wan to cuddle them both.

Nicola Allison

I love anything and everything about this world! Pretty sure I’d read Lily’s shopping list at this point!😂 edited to add: this may be my favourite chapter so far😍

Anna Warren

It was a lovely chapter. Rewrites are to be expected, the first version of a book is never the final one. I for one am so happy to be part of the crew that helps support you while on this journey. It is a gift to be allowed to see your process. It will be an excellent reason to reread the whole story again.

Kelly Semon

I know you were a bit stressed on this chapter but I wanted to give some specific feedback on one aspect I thought was really great- As I was reading I found myself noting that I could really see growth in the flow of your writing! Especially in the transition from one character perspective to another. After reading these the “normal” way I often use text to speech on my phone to help me with re-reads. It’s definitely not ideal for many reasons but it works. In some of your earlier chapters the shifts in scene/ character perspective can be kind of abrupt, especially without the visual cue of several line breaks. I really appreciated how in this chapter you still made use of small jumps forward in time but you introduced what was about to happen and picked up right after. It left us to fill in ourselves how Bel made Lily scream on the end of the flight ride but at the same time didn’t leave me thinking “I wonder what all happened in between those two paragraphs”. That was probably way too much explanation for a simple comment but I just wanted to be sure you knew your writing isn’t just “acceptable given your situation” it’s truly really great and getting better with each chapter as you gain experience 🥰

Sean

Loved the character development!

Sunita Buddhu

Yes there were some typos, but nothing too bad. Again, you handle the emotions well, balancing seriousness with humor and sexiness. Can’t wait for the “spicy time”!!❤️❤️

La Yuca Mala

I loved this episode, I hope we get to talk more of this in the next one ♥️♥️♥️

Elizabeth Werstein

I’m always down to read more about all of the Belles! And this episode is beautiful, don’t doubt your writing ❤️ I cannot wait for the chapter when they find out that they can have kids. I can only imagine lol.

DndGoblin

Quick question. Does Lilith have wings? When Lilith and Diana meet Lily mentioned that Diana wondered where Bel got his wings from.

Rachel Davis

This is quickly becoming my new favorite book. I can't wait till I can buy it and read it until it's as frayed and loved as some of the books in Lily's library

Tricia

It would be fun to have more about the Bells away from the desk!!

Scarlett_loves_Loki

Still reading, but I have kind of a random critique. Lily feels very connected to her last life, but I haven’t seen a lot of connections with her previous mortal lives. In your world are souls shaped by all of their lives (like would she know her previous parents) or does that go foggy after reincarnation (which makes me think she wouldn’t want to reincarnate because she would lose this version of herself with Bel and Sharkie)? Does that make sense?

Scarlett_loves_Loki

I thought the same thing! Glad I’m not crazy. I can imagine it might be hard to keep everything from TikTok as cannon, so maybe that was something that needed to change for the book.

Peter Psareas

You said this way better than I could. I wish we could let Jaysea know how much we love her and her stories. She never had to and never should apologize

Teos

Incredible as usual! Why do you have to do emotion so well you got me laughing and crying here!

Ari Finnie

Love this, would absolutely love to read your writing exercise about the belles too

Kristiane Laucht

Lilith doesn't have wings, Bel got his wings from his dad. I can't remember which chapter or episode that comes from though.

Thomas Forrest

If I remember correctly, I'm pretty sure that it says somewhere that every time that someone reincarnates, previous lives (and times spent in the afterlife) fade slowly. There are still some lingering memories, but overall they get foggy as more and more time (I think time would be the right word?) passes.

Embeth Arreyn

I mean, wish granted? She's totally able to read these comments, there's only like 69 of them. She's read and responded before. So feel free to tell her how much you love her work; I'm sure even if she doesn't respond, it makes her smile!

Renee Johnson

Love this chapter. And I would read anything you want to share about the belles

_jackieeeee

I would love any sort of slice of life or side stories for hell's belles!!

_jackieeeee

Also just finished the chapter. Amazing as always

Scarlett_loves_Loki

I thought that might be the case, but I could swear Ruggy said something about being afraid to go back to the mortal realm because she worked so hard to improve. I think she said something like ‘I know I’ll remember everything again the next time I die…’

Magik Bus

I am adding my voice to the choir of people who would love to read a slice of life Hell's Belles! Loved this chapter, and oof, my heart. Like I know things turn out great for them, I KNOW that, but I'm still like oh god what's going to happen. I am so, so invested in this. I've reread a couple times now, and it just tickles me pink, and I notice new things each time. Thanks for writing this!

ITn3rd

I think the slife of life stuff would be amazing, I love all the Hells Belles stuff regardless of written, or TikTok

Sarah Holden

Hi, yes, I would like to read the slice of life please

Kayla

Vic Hill

The slice of life sounds awesome!

HillArias

Andrew Parrish

Another wonderful read, can’t wait for the next one thank you!

Cassie Tudor

I feel the same way. I’m know they end up together but it makes me worried while I read. I’m so invested!

Lauren is Weird

Would love to read the slice of life please. Also loved this chapter.

Amanda Fair

I fall more and more in love with these characters every chapter.

Carla

Super interested in the slice of life thing!

David Chattin

i hope one day this comes to audible because its awsome

Brian

We need more of whatever you have.

Alexis Harris

I was finally able to become a patreon! Now time for me to play catch-up!

Meredyth Costa

If anyone is a mega hozier fan like I am and, you can’t tell me “I, Carrion (Icarian)” wasn’t written for this chapter 😭

Samantha Pare

I don't know if you're trying to go for the sound of the breeze through the trees on page 7, when you say susuration... but I feel like maybe undulations might work better?
