An update (not that anyone will remember me or care): Take Me to Mars is NOT going to be continued. It is hidden so I didn’t delete it, but I will NOT be re-publishing it just for re-reads. Reason being is because at the time that I wrote it, even though I was aware that the behaviors of the characters (in particular Mars) were quite gender-roley and even emotionally abusive in some cases (being grossly possessive, controlling, stronger than my female lead cause he’s a man, having a brutish personality etc) I thought it was harmless as long as we all know it’s WRONG. But being older now, I simply do not want to put out content like that because I find male characters of that sort horrible and disgusting and they piss me off. If I were to re-write Mars, I would at LEAST make Arden stand up for herself, point out his shit caveman behavior, and even make him more self aware of his faults. 
          	Anyways, tldr, although my story wasn’t necessarily harmful, it featured heavy gender roles at times and in some cases, heavily patriarchal views (because we all grow up brainwashed to the patriarchy, not that I knew what I was writing at the time). Despite trying to be inclusive as a writer, it does not meet my 21 year old selfs standards for inclusivity. ♥️ love to anyone who ever did like my writing, I am considering writing a whole new story because I miss it.

Oh shît my dude, lol I’m sorry I’ll get on it, I stopped writing cause I thought no one really cared so I was like meh okay I’ll stick to being an avid reader instead of a writer. I still have all my notes and general structure stuff so Take Me To Mars is not forgotten. I’ll get a new chapter out by tomorrow night.

And on top of it, by the last ten chapters I had three characters... every... chapter... the lack of characters makes me cringe at my own story. And I hate the "friends" from the beginning. At the time I basically threw in some dialogue but I never though out me flat characters. They still needed to be given personalities.

I unpublished it so it's just hidden. I'm going to go through it whenever I have the chance, but since it's so damn messy and not thought out I might actually re-write it. My characters personalities are confusing, sometimes they don't act the way they should, according to the persona I gave them, and to be honest, it's about abuse but she got abused three times...? Like Katya... what're you even doing. I think I'm going to plan it out, change it up a bit so it's less hectic, and write my notes on a google doc so I don't lose them like last time.
