Guys, genuine question. Do you think I update too quickly? Should I slow down a little? I usually update every night because I genuinely have all the time in the world right now, trust me 😭 The chapters aren’t rushed, but I’m wondering if updating so often doesn’t give each chapter enough time to breathe or the book enough time to reach new readers. I’ve noticed that books sometimes seem to grow more when authors wait longer between updates, so what would you guys honestly prefer? Should I keep updating every night, once every two days, twice a week, or once a week? Let me know in the comments because I don’t want to slow down if you enjoy the nightly updates, but I also don’t want to accidentally keep the book from growing the way it could.🫩

God, one of my biggest pet peeves on this app is when people make reading lists that publicly shame books 😭 Positive lists like “the best” or “good reads” are completely fine, but lists titled “horrible book” “bad” or literally just 🤷🏼‍♀️ feel so rude. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but if I disliked a book, I would simply stop reading it. I would never publicly label someone’s work in a way that might ruin their confidence or make them not want to write anymore. And this is not really about my books. I actually hate seeing other authors treated that way. Maybe I’m just overly empathetic, but it feels completely unnecessary. Okay, guys I’m done crashing out now. I just had to say it 😭

@herdevotion I know what you mean. I'd seen a reading list of someone calling books "absolute trash" and my heart hurt for the authors.  One of the authors even requested for hers to be removed. ☹️

@herdevotion ew, people do that?? I didn't even know, that's so mean 😭 if you don't like it, don't read it 🥴 why publicly shame someone just because your personal taste doesn't align with the author's?

 #1 in sapphic and #1 in angst. I am baffled.
          
          Angst out of 301k stories 
          Sapphic out of 9.02k stories. 
          
          Thank you so much guys. Seriously. Thank you for reading my work for supporting me. For loving my girls as much as I do.❤️ I truly love you.

Guys, today my heart is genuinely broken. Hayden Panettiere’s passing was completely unexpected, and my jaw literally dropped when I saw it on social media. With the amount of celebrities we have lost this year, it has been a lot to process, but this one gave me straight up chills. Ice Princess was one of the movies that inspired my ice skating universe. Michelle Trachtenberg’s passing already broke my heart, so finding out that Hayden is gone too has left me in shock. I genuinely loved that movie, and I’ll definitely be adding a small tribute at the end of the first book to honor them both.
          
          Rest in peace, Michelle and Hayden. :(( forever ice princesses.

Soon I will be publishing Our Last Summer, but this time, you guys will have to survive it chapter by chapter. To my old followers, you probably already know which book I’m talking about. If you don’t reread books, you’re good. But if you do, prepare yourself because I will be changing things this time. The book will be longer, and so will the love story between I & I. It will also reflect how much my writing has grown and matured since then. And to my new followers, prepare yourselves, because this is the one book I’ve written that will probably break your heart.

The way the title changed but I know exactly which book this is. Ima reread it since you’re changing things but I’m so scared.
