Hello friends, 
          
          I'm taking a break from posting on Wattpad for several reasons, the first being I'm burnt out from writing due to NaNoWriMo and the last thing I have in me is to write stories right now. The second is simply because  @Wattpad does not care about black, indigenous or asian writers. Yes. @Wattpad doesn't care about us and they haven't, not ever. They are performative and so are a lot of your faves on this website.
          
          As someone who has been on this website since they were fourteen and is now twenty three, this really doesn't surprise me. I've always known that Wattpad couldn't give two damns about anyone who wasn't white or at least, writing white orientated stories. That's a given. I've personally been passed over hundreds of times when I know I've deserved some recognition for spending almost nine years of my life on here. But Wattpad pretending to care and then easily passing over the voices of marginalised people in order to soothe the egos of white women who have done wrong? Yeah ya girl's tired. 
          
          Anyway, I'll come back and finish everything when I feel like writing them again. For now, everything is on hold or intermission, including Freestyle and Diane Young. I'll still be reachable on here if anyone needs anything but the best way to reach me is via Twitter (I push my twitter on here so much damn) @/saiiormood or my bookstagram account which is @/dess.reads. Give us a message if you need anything or even if you just wanna chat wass about something. 
          
          Peace everybody! See you all soon

Hey so i really like your books and i was wondering if I can make you a cover!
          

IK my last announcement hit with some of you and you’re too called out to say something so I’m just gonna say this. Next time you want to promote a group of under appreciated writers (in this case, black writers), make sure you’re continually showing them attention, reading their books and talking to them, to see if they actually want to be included. You just posting a reading list, following us and leaving it as it is is so performative and kind of disrespectful, especially when you forget about us in the space of two weeks. 
          
          
          Anyway! Do you guys follow me on twitter? I talk so much on Twitter and I promise I’m funny so follow me @/saiiormood :)

How y’all’s ‘Black Lives Matter’ reading lists doing on this glorious Thursday 

Hey lads!
          
          So I'm participating in NaNoWriMo this month but unfortunately, it's not for anything I'm currently posting on Wattpad. This means that I might slow all the way down with my updates this month! Hopefully I can keep up with everything but we know me (lol) and we'll see.
          
          Happy November! Here's to a new month. Stay safe everyone, eat well and take care of yourselves <3

HAPPY BIRTHDAY 

YO I got a question
          
          Do you guys feel like when you get to a certain point in your stories (writing wise) that you can no longer write? Or you no longer want to? And I do not mean this necessarily in terms of writer's block. It's hard to explain, but it's like you want to continue but you don't want to at the same time? Mostly because the story will be over and you do not want to write the part before the part before it ends? 
          
          I didn't use to feel this way about writing but honestly, since about mid 2015/16, it's become harder for me to finish writing things because I begin to pull away. I did it with the first Let's Be Birds. I did it with Slugger, Pink, just about managed to avoid this with Ethan Adams because I was 129843473% busy during that rewrite and didn't even have time to think about it let alone write, and also kind of with 1991 (but the reasons I find it hard to write that are to due with where the story takes me mentally). It's been happening with the new Diane Young and with Freestyle a bit too. 
          
          I guess I'm just asking about this because I wanna know I'm not alone. And if I am not, do any of my writer friends have ways to combat this? Lol IDK, I want to finish everything but at the same time, it takes a lot for me to move past the point of feeling like I cannot do it. So any advice? plz I am a small girl of 22.9 years old 
          
          
          Anyway, in other news, not withstanding, there is a double update today! One for Freestyle and Diane Young! You know, it's been nineteen Tuesdays in a row that I've updated Freestyle? I need a medal tbh, I haven't been this consistent since I was like 15 on here LOL enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey guys! I've posted a few chapters of the Diane Young rewrite - let me know how you're finding it! I'm thinking I might finish the whole thing by the end of the month, and hopefully have it all posted soon too, so you aren't waiting too long :)
          
          Hope you're all doing okay, and celebrating Beyoncé's birthday! I'm feeling a little out of touch because this is the first year in about 19 that I'm not starting school this September but it is what it is. 
          
          Random, but what do you lot think about vampires? I'm thinking of writing a vampire novel in my spare time lol

YO so I posted the first chapter of the Diane Young rewrite. Check it out if you want to and by 'if you want to' I mean check it out and lmk what you think please xx

Yo I’ve been rewriting Diane Young for the past two months or so mostly as a writing exercise for myself. However, I’m pretty happy with how it is so I’m thinking of posting it on here!
          
          So I’m pretty much writing this message to ask if this is something you lot would want to read. And if I do post it, would y’all want me to replace the old story or post it in a new one? 
          
          Lemme know how you feel on the matter or I just won’t do anything lol 
          
          
          
          Also - Freestyle! I’ve got a bunch of chapters up and I’d love to hear your thoughts. Check it out friends! :)
          
          さよなら!
