Sorry for the following rant.
          	
          	It is so disgusting to see people on social media mocking male K-Pop idols by calling them gay, girls or robots. Instead of congratulating Korean artists for breaking the mould placed upon them, insecure keyboard warriors attack them because they don't uphold the toxic masculinity hegemony. 
          	
          	One woman on a post congratulating Stray Kids for being the first K-Pop group to attend the Met Gala (which they slayed) attacked them by asking if they were a new girl group since they all wear makeup. Instead of seeing this comment as a racist, sexist and xenophobic remark, she said "they should leave the makeup at home then." Do people not see the double standards in criticising male idols for makeup, when they praise Prince, Bowie, KISS, Harry Styles etc? Not to mention every actor who stars in a movie, TV series or play? It's double standards.

@Chatayer I usually do. Today, though, guess I must be more hormonal than usual so it affected me more.

@Hopeless_roMINtic Better to ignore them altogether. People like that will always exist, unfortunately.

I am officially 85% done with editing my new book, Steps To Home. I have 13 chapters left, and then it will be uploaded and ready for you to read. 
          
          I already have my next book half planned (and another five after that). I am an author who needs to plan everything before I start writing.
          
          The next book's entire plot is all mapped out, and so are most of the characters. I still have to plan out chapters and do a lot of research about America - particularly New York and Hawaii. If anyone lives/has lived in either place, would I please be able to pick your brain about a few questions?

yes ma'am. Just shoot me a dm. Good luck with editing!

@Hopeless_roMINtic Stop if you love me. Let my slow ass catch up, please lol. 
            
            But yes, your physical therapist was right, and as you should. <3

@Arait007 thank you! Once I finish editing, I'll get some questions together for you if that's okay?

Something new is coming very soon!
          
          I have finished writing my third book, which is called Steps To Home. I am taking off my writing hat and putting on my editing one, so 
          hopefully it won't be long until this one is ready.

@Hopeless_roMINtic I have absolute faith in you!

M&B is about to cross 100k reads soon, and all I can think is it's about damn time. Congratulations on one of many milestones! <3

Chatayer

@Hopeless_roMINtic One of my friends on here is exactly the same way lol. Lady even creates Spreadsheets for this purpose. 
            
            I can't wait to read it. Hope you finish it quickly! <3

@Chatayer I'm definitely a planner haha. Some might say I'm anal about planning but if I try to wing it, my anxiety is off the charts. 
            
            This book has lots of different facets to it. It has parallel universes, secret villains and I've tried to convey my OC's mental struggles more. I love this book but it reminds me of the naughty toddler who gets into mischief while their older siblings are well behaved

@Hopeless_roMINtic That's great. What time do you think you'll be done, and wwy was writing the third one harder than the other two? 
            
            You're clearly a planner, and I love that.

It's been a few months since I published Music & Butterflies and Sanctuary, and it warms my heart seeing all the love the books are receiving. I honestly didn't expect anyone to read them, yet M&B is nearing 90K reads! 
          
          I have been busy working on my third book, and I'm ⅔ of my way through with 46/69 chapters written. I can't wait to finish it and set it free so I can write the next book I'm planning. I have plans so far for another five books after my fourth one, so there is a lot in the works!

If you're an Atiny and like fantasy/magic books, you'll love Take Me Home. I couldn’t put it down. It was so good! Filled with well developed characters, plot twists that are not redundant or placed there 'just because', and great writing, the book is a really good read. Go check it out if you enjoy Ateez and show the author some love!
