I've had a few people ask me when the sequel to "Too Nice", "Too Much" will start receiving updates. In the sneak peek I published, I said that I wanted to publish another book that I am working on before making updates to the sequel. So far, I am 11/30 chapters into that book and I hate the direction it is taking.
First off, let me start off by saying that the book I am currently working on (title keeps changing) will deal with some serious themes. Currently, I am not doing those themes any justice with what I have written so far. After reading on Wattpad for so many years, I've begun to pick up on some of the bullshit the platform worships. For example, romanizing mental illnesses.
Fuck. That. No.
I have a lot of young readers and I will not expose y'all to that. In all honesty, it's not even an age thing. No age group should be exposed to that nonsense. We all need to come together and agree that genitals are not the cure for mental illnesses. Most stories on this platform about mental illnesses tend to lean towards the "I found my man/woman and literally every problem I had before I got fucked is solved now!" plot when that is rarely the case. That pisses me off and it makes me even angrier that I've fallen down that rabbit hole. I refuse to take this L and I will continue to edit it even if I have to start over. When it comes to serious topics, 1 chapter of realism is better than eleven chapters of garbage.
Another reason why it's taking me so long to write this book is because of the amount of research I am doing for it. Some of the serious themes that occur in this book I have never experienced. I want what the characters are going through to be portrayed as realistically as possible.
So, unfortunately, it may be a while before "Too Much" receives any updates. I apologize to everyone who is following its progress and thank you for sticking by my side despite my inactivity.
Mask up, social distance, and stay safe!
