Hi loves I'm alive still!
          
          Haven't had much motivation to write lately tbh
          
          Anyway though, I am back once again to make the statement that I *do not* write BL. My target audience *is not* straight women. My target audience is *gay men*, because I write GAY, MALEXMALE ROMANCE.
          
          I bring this up because of a video I'm watching that's discussing queer romance in media (specifically Heated Rivalry and Bridgerton), and apparently a gay man got kicked out of a watch party for HR, which as I'm sure most of us know (even if you haven't watched it like I haven't) is a show about *gay men*. And it delved a bit further into the issue surrounding the fact that a shockingly large portion of gay romance(they lumped BL in with MM romance which is problematic imo but besides the point) is, and has been for a long time, written by heterosexual women for other heterosexual women.
          
          I do not mind that my primary audience is majority female identifying, however, I do hope that it is known, and if not then I am making it known, that this is not a safe space for fetishizing gay men in any capacity, this is a safe space *for* gay men, because I myself am a gay man writing stories that I want to see, that aren't tragic and bound to end in someone dying or an inevitable breakup without any reconciliation, or whatever other tragedy that usually befalls the queer couple in most queer media (Call Me By Your Name, Breakback Mountain and multiple others are prime examples of this.)
          
          Anyway, my loves, please remember, stay safe, stay happy and stay healthy my darlings ♡
          
          And please remember, this is a safe space and I'm here if ever you need someone to vent/talk to ♡

Hello my loves, I'm sorry I haven't been active, I've been rereading some stuff and trying to figure out what I want to work on, because I want to work on stuff, I just...blegh
          
          I've been really invested in Skyrim lately, feels good to enjoy it again after the last few years of not having played it.
          
          Anyway, not a lot is new going on. Just wanted to drop in and say I'm not dead lol

Hi my loves!
          I am still alive, I've just been dealing with getting over the flu, and having little to no motivation to write.
          
          I promise I'll get back to it soon, and you'll get the *extremely* late holiday chapter soon-ish.
          
          On another note, I started listening to Waterparks recently because I woke up to a recommendation for their new song ICE. And now I regret not giving them a chance back when Wattpad did that little partnership with Michael Clifford with that song he has with Awsten lmao (I also started listening to Michael but that's another thing lol)
          I think my favorite song is either Not Warriors, Lucky People, or Closer.

Hi loves! I'm so sorry for the lack of everything. I've been with my fiancé since the 21st of last month and haven't had time nor motivation nor means to update or write anything.
          
          However, I'd like to wish a very happy belated holidays, and a happy belated new year, my loves.
          
          Cheers to all of us, and a prosperous year! And please be safe this year, and every year! ♡
          
          Please remember my loves, stay safe, stay happy and stay healthy my darlings ♡

Hey loves, so I got a new chapter up of CYKAS, I may not get the holiday one up in time though unfortunately. I will try, but I leave tomorrow, and won't have time to work on it after that until I'm home and that won't be until either the first or second Sunday of January. I am going to do what I can tonight, but I do have a trial to run on ESO at 8:30 lol
          
          Anyway, I am so excited, this will be the first year I get to spend the holidays with my fiancé! If you'd told me five years ago that this random dude I started texting out of nowhere on Wattpad of all places would wind up being my fiancé, and that I'd be spending like 3 weeks with him in a different state, the first time not spending the holidays with blood-related family, I'd think you're fucking crazy lol

Hi loves! Just dropping in to say that from this year onward any and all holiday content I post will be in my new book.
          
          I put the only remaining published holiday stuff into it already (Zane and Eden's one shot, as well as the two chapters of TMYLM), and I'm working on this years holiday stuff too.
          
          I can not make any promises about publishing it on time however. I'll be going to spend a few weeks with my fiancé on the twenty first, and I unfortunately will not have the time nor space to be writing while I'm there, as well as I don't intend to bring my laptop with me which atm is the place I do my writing.

Hi my loves! I'm really sorry I didn't say anything yesterday, but happy belated thanksgiving to those who celebrated!
          
          I'm really sorry I've sort of disappeared, the last couple months have been hard for me to find any creativity. I do plan to start a holiday/Christmas/new year themed short story at some point soon, as I usually do, but as far as my main projects I really don't know, and for that I apologize. ♡

Next chapter of KHO is up, it is on the shorter side, but it's out lol
          
          I've also decided that KHO will be one of the shorter books I put out because Tay and Aiden don't *need* a lot more after this. Which, me making the book shorter does mean there will be a lot of time skips, and some plot points will be sort of brushed over (An example being me skipping over the years between Aiden and Tay living in Paris to them moving home. To clarify, I won't be entirely skipping them living in Paris, it's just an example)

In the words of Blink-182 "Nobody likes you when you're 23,"
          
          It is my birthday today!
          
          I will not be working on anything today most likely (I have been working on stuff just in the background)
          
          Anyway, my loves, please remember, stay safe, stay happy and stay healthy my darlings ♡

Hi loves! I finally got that final bonus chapter of Broken Wings up!
          
          It ties BW and Love Letters (formerly Always and Forever, Yours) together.
          
          Anyway, I'm still playing with some new ideas, and also playing around with KHO, and LL. I do kinda wanna work on TMYLM more, but I'm kinda at a loss where to go with it. More so, how to get where I want to go with it, rather.
          
          I've also been busy on an alt account working on some little <100 word things, which has been fun, and has somewhat gotten me into writing again.
