guys, i want to be more active on here. i miss writing. i miss communicating with you all.
          
          the past years have been an absolute whirlwind. from getting covid during my final semester of masters, graduating, becoming a therapist, moving in with my longtime partner, and cycling between losing and finding myself, i just want to be able to pause and take a damn breath!
          
          i’ve had so many plans for so many stories (haunted, which is on hiatus due to lack of focus, new hayley fics which i haven’t had inspo yet) but i’ve been working on a secret book for about a year now. i’m about a third done. this is my baby.
          
          i would like to eventually publish pieces of it on wattpad, im just not sure about the receptivity of it. it’s very different than what i’m used to writing. it’s more adventure/sci-fi, but the characters in it mean so much to me. i want to feel comfortable sharing them with you guys. as always, this story has a looooooot of gayness in it.
          
          i want some feedback from you all. are sci-fi/adventure lesbian stories something you all like/read?

GUYS. GIRLS LIKE GIRLS HAS REACHED 100k ON WATTPAD, IM CRYING

the era of girls like girls has some to an end, and now ive been moving on to other thigns. when i wrote girls like girls and forever you and i, it was 2015. i cannot get over how long of a journey it’s been, and how many things have changed since then. i’m now at the end of my masters, doing my practicum as a therapist (!!!!!), and i’m continuously growing as an individual. my next literary journey is well on its way, and i’m so proud of it. the title of the book is called “the essence of being” and it’s not the same style of story that i’m used to writing. (there’s still going to be looooots of gayness though so don’t worry) thank you to all of you who have supported me throughout the years. i look forward to sharing this new story with you all.

I’m looking to collaborate on my newest project. I am in dire need of someone who is good at sketching/drawing characters since I know absolutely nothing about it. I have everything I need to create this project, except for art, and I really want it because I would love to see my characters come to life this way. DM me if you know anyone or are interested!

guys, i need some assistance. i need a cool name for a female character who’s a badass and has a sassy personality. dystopian vibes, apocalyptic environment, you know, that stuff. i picture shego (kim possible) whenever i think of this character. GIVE ME NAME IDEAS PLEASE (you will get credited when i post this new story)

CHAPTER 31
          
          
          
          
          
          
          
          
          
          
          who wants it

Mental health is a real thing. Anxiety is a real thing, and I have a really hard time managing it. Sometimes it’ll take me months to update, and I know it frustrates you guys, but I have to focus on myself. I’m really sorry for always letting you down when I don’t update for a while, I just have a hard time handling stuff sometimes but I’m trying to be better. I’m on my second month of my mindfulness journey, and I’m almost done my 30 day yoga journey, and I can honestly say I’m feeling a bit better. So I look forward to posting some more for you guys. Thank you for your support. Mel x

would love to collaborate with someone on a project (a new story). this person needs to be artistic, and have a sense of imagination! here’s a prompt: a forest, a bright light, and 2 girls (one dark haired, and one blonde). send me your sketches/drawings/video edits at turningpaage.wattpad@gmail.com
