New chapter for The Boss & The Assistant is out!

I just finished watching "Fellow Travelers," which is a miniseries about two gay men from the 50's to the 80's. The show had me BAWLING. It was so beautiful and heartbreaking. It was also unapologetically gay (like a lot of gay sex that did not shy away y'all). 
          
          It reminded me of when I was in high school and I was so passionate about LGBTQ+ rights. I still am, but I lost the drive as I got older. When I first started writing on Wattpad, same-sex marriage wasn't federally legalized yet. My high school banned a girl from wearing a suit to the prom. It's crazy because we've come so far along but now it almost feels like we've gone back as well. This realization really got to me this morning, but then I thought about little high school me putting up the good fight. Kids today are doing that too. I want to do that too. 
          
          I feel so motivated to write even more, creatively and politically. I think you guys are going to get more stories from me about beautiful queer people :) and the world is going to get pieces from me about why she would actually give a damn about each other.
          
          Thanks to all of my followers <3

Just a friendly reminder that you can buy a copy of the original "The Boss" as a paperback book on Amazon :3 If I'm being for real I am trying to buy a house and any support from a purchase of this book would go towards a down payment on a home!

          And if you don't have the $15 plus tax (which is totally fine) then you can always support me on ko-fi as well!

@permanentlypink thank you so much! Have you received your copies yet? Please let me know any other feedback you have on the publishing quality. Amazon's publishing service can be a little rough to work with lol. But thank you for your support!

@katieshakespeare I just bought a copy! (I actually bought two) It's wonderful! Although I'm a little confused by the lack of page numbers... but otherwise it's wonderful! I loved it so much I had to buy a second to make sure that I could keep one copy nice a pristine and the other gets to be beat the fuck up from my reading. Thank you!

@JadaaHeree yes! I've been wanting to rewrite it forever but didn't want to entirely replace the original story. It should be finished soon!
