          	Okay but writing a male version of The Little Mermaid has been an extraordinarily fulfilling journey.
          	
          	Stepping into this story has forced me to stretch far beyond standard character tropes and create a protagonist whose core strength lies in gentleness, curiosity, and an open sensitive soul.
          	
          	Navigating this dynamic highlights just how rigidly society often restricts male emotional expression, demanding stoicism or aggressive masculinity while leaving little room for vulnerability, wonder, or soft spoken depth.
          	
          	Unpacking these layers through Ansel's perspective ( my character) has taught me so much about the art of character development, proving that a male hero can continue a story through empathy, resilience and emotional richness rather than traditional toughness.
          	
          	It has been a powerful reminder of how refreshing it is to challenge cultural norms on the page and give voice to a different kind of masculine grace.

@Notnoorbutfizzy hiii dear just a heads up before you dive in, Sea of Stars is actually a gender bent gay romance (with Ansel as the mermaid!). I completely understand if that isn't your usual genre, so no worries at all if it's not your thing!

September is National Suicide Prevention Month, a 30 day stretch dedicated to raising awareness, breaking down deep seated stigmas, and reminding anyone fighting a quiet battle that their presence on this earth still matters. Mental health struggles often thrive in isolation, convincing people that they are a burden or that things will never improve. 
          
          September exists to disrupt that narrative, to remind us that reaching out for help is a sign of profound strength, not weakness, and that no one has to navigate the darkest nights alone.
          
          To anyone who is currently fighting a quiet battle, feeling overwhelmed, or wondering if the world would be easier without them...please stay. 
          
          Your story isn't over, your presence matters, and you do not have to carry the heavy things all by yourself. It is completely okay to not be okay, and asking for help is one of the bravest things you can do.
          
          Let's make a conscious effort this month to check on the friends and family members who always seem 'strong,' normalize asking for help, and ensure everyone knows that free, confidential support is available 24/7.
