          I got jokes fr fr.

Officially in my Wattpad Ambassador era!!!! Eeeek!!!

It is done. The page has been turned, the story has begun.

I’m kinda, sorta participating in the ONC this year…
          
          I can’t believe I just said that publicly. I think I’m gonna be sick!
          
          Bye!

Totally forgot to mention on here that I finally have a Substack!!! Ahhhhhh! I knowww, this is monumental guys! I’m trying to be committed to being more present online and sharing more of myself and my art with the world. As someone who’s always struggled with a deep fear of being perceived, this is kind of a big deal. (Lmao I’m not just being dramatic as usual.) 
          
          I plan to share exclusive details/updates about my professional writing journey and my ventures into the abyss of traditional publishing on there. Juicy tid-bits about my WIP’s, upcoming Wattpad projects, geeky literature stuff and just philosophical fan-girl ramblings about life and my very niche hyperfixations on cinema, poetry, music, anime, and all the fun stuff I almost always have my fingers dipped in. So yeah, come join the fun on there! Here’s a link: https://substack.com/@aleeyahadebayo?r=6p9ad&utm_medium=ios
          
          And incase it’s unclickable (is that even a word?) I’ll put it up in my bio as well. Okay byeeeee!
          
          Until the next time I emerge from within the folds of darkness again.

Hey guys! New chapter of ‘BLOODSTONE ACADEMY’ will be up by noon today. Also, don’t forget to check out the VERY important author’s note on Chapter 32!!!
          
          Have a lovely Sunday!✨

It seems people won’t stop newly discovering my older books, ‘The Unwanted’ and ‘BLACK’ so I’m just gonna put this here as a general/public PSA. Those books were written eons ago (an exaggeration obviously lol) and I was about 15/16 when I wrote them. I’m in my early twenties now and my writing as clearly evolved drastically. This is not to say that I don’t still hold an immense amount of love for those books, because I do. I love every single character I’ve ever created dearly and will always fight for them to the death (no exaggeration here), but as a struggling/healing perfectionist, it PAINS my soul every I time I notice an error I’ve made and quite frankly these books are LOADED with grammar errors loool. I’m mortified at the thought of anyone reading them. But it also simultaneously warms my heart to see people still continue to take interest even after so long and still continue to form attachments to these characters that I myself will forever be attached to. So yeah, this is a warning to not expect too much if you’re reading my older works and also, thank you soooooo much for sticking around. (Finger hearts ^^)

Guys, do you have any really good Wattpad recs? It’s been a while I properly read anything on here and I need a break from my research paper on Dostoevsky(send help). 
          
          Keep in mind, I don’t mind reading anything tbh, as long as it’s written well. But I’d say my vibe as of this moment would be dark fiction; vampire, gore, dark academia, romance ofc...etc. (yeah, I know I’m supposed to be looking for the complete opposite of those since I’m taking a break from Dostoevsky, but let’s just ignore that ^_^)

Just realized I never published the ‘Preface’ chapter on BLOODSTONE ACADEMY. *face palm*
          
          Anyways, it’s up rn along with three new chapters and more to come later tonight. I also just realized I never shared the fandom name I came up with for the book lmaoooo. It’s in the preface chapter, so go check it out and let me know what you think about it. I honestly really love it lmao. I did a little squeal and a dance around my room when I came up with it a few months ago at 3am. Hehe. I think it’s a very regal sounding name tbh. It makes me feel badass. Elite? Yeah, something along those lines. Very fitting for vampires, or vampire-wannabes in my case. God help me. 
          
          Ive also decided I’ll sign off my rants on here with it from now on ^_^ Okay. Bye. Back to work for me.
          
          *sobs.

Seriously, it’s impossibly despairing to juggle a life of 9-5’s when all you are in every fiber of your being is an artist whose sole purpose on earth is to make art.
          
          I hate it here.
