Hello all! 
          
          For someone who loves monologue-ing, I haven't said much recently. That's because I was writing a whole other book that I'm wanting to query. Now I've finished its first draft, and though it'll go through a battery of editing sessions, what this means is that I'm free to write more stuff that I can post on THIS platform! I haven't forgotten THOSS. New THOSS chapter up, by the way! Hoping to catch up on reading, too. 
          
          Life updates: I have a job! Corporate, and I got transferred to a different department that I like better. The hours are fantastic and stable. Also, Hollow Knight Silksong just came out, so I'll be doing that for the foreseeable future. Oops! 
          
          It's nice to be back. Thanks for sticking with me, and happy reading.

Hi everyone! New THOSS chapter up! 
          
          Wanted to take this time to talk about me and writing. These past few months I've been stepping back from this site because I've been drafting a novel that I'm planning to query. I've been having a fine time writing! 
          
          That said, I don't think I'll stop publishing on here. The community is great and sometimes you just want to see people yelling in the comments. 
          
          Life update, I'm trying to get employed. Right now I'm probationary AND in training, but I'm hoping it gets regular. Anyway, happy reading!

I'M NOT DEAD!!!! But I AM graduating! In a week or so! 
          
          Hi all! Done completed the 600 required hours for my OJT, wherein I had all the responsibilities of a programmer and zero of the pay. What this means is that I am not yet free to write to my heart's content because I still have to get the documents sorted and alter my dress for the commencement rites. 
          
          Insane move on my SECULAR institution's part to enforce gendered clothing when it'll all be covered by a toga! An irksome detail for me and the other queers (especially the trans students, but we did fight (re: write letters and drag them all over social media) to have whatever haircut we wanted, so there's that), but I fancy myself as something of a tailor and by god it's going to look good. 
          
          However, you can expect somewhat regular updates as my hours free up, like right now. New THOSS chapter up! Happy reading!

@KargaTapas Dam that would suck. I remember gradutating high school last year and they were lenient enough to at least let us wear what we wanted for formal as long as it was presentable, of course i wore a suit with my bestie. But when it came time to graduation the school only said uniforms nothing else, not even dying hair (unless for formal because grad was 2 days after it).
            
            Yes I am in a different country to America and possibly you to but they still weren't happy when the indigenious kids tied flags around them or wore special atire's over their uniform-however they didn't crack they just glared. But however that is a totally different subject from the gender enforced clothing but I still find it quite anoying that eventhough we couldn't wear formal uniform (thank god they didn't because then they would have made us wear skirts and or pants for boys and girls) everyone still had to stick with the shorts and shirt of the school uniform.

Hello everyone! 
          
          Planning to upload the remaining couple chapters of The Thorn all at once in one big cluster. Probably later or tomorrow. Keep an eye out for the ending!
          
          In other news, what have yall been reading? For Wattpad I am reading through the GGAWOL sequel "Heaven Is A Prison" by fellow Christian mythos enthusiast @the-red-jester.
          
          In terms of print, I've started on "Demon Copperhead" because I liked the cover only to find out that it is American David Copperfield (not really, more story-beat wise)! I am not usually a bildungsroman enjoyer because a lot of people write such grating children, but it has biting prose. 
          
          Anyone got recs? Books are so goddamn expensive where I live and I can no longer find it in my heart to blind buy. Anyway, happy reading!

@myhabibti Just looked at it on Goodreads! It sounds like a very wistful read *added to TBR*
