Heyyy sweet babies,
          	
          	Don’t throw tomatoes at me, but I’ve been re-reading the story and…I think I want to redo it all. I adore the story, the characters, the whole vibe—but it’s just not quite the version I want it to be yet. I’ll keep this version up while I’m rewriting, though, so you’ll still have it in the meantime.

Hey sweet babies,
          
          So I realized I’ve been saying Coleman instead of Woodbine when it comes to Braxton’s house or her last name . That’s totally on me! Coleman was the original name I wanted to use, but I ended up going with Woodbine because I felt it sounded better — I just forgot I made that change . I’ll be going back and fixing it!
          
          Also, I’ve been thinking… I’m not sure I want Izamari and Dareyon to be endgame. I love them, but the more I sit with it, the more I feel like their connection is better as close friends rather than something romantic. Would that be a dealbreaker for anyone? I’d really love to hear your thoughts ❤️

Hey sweet souls,
          
          I'm back! Thank you all so much for your patience and support—it truly means the world to me. 
          
          I've been revising more parts of What We Made of Ruins and starting in on some new ones. Another chapter (or maybe two ) should be out very soon!
          
          I’m endlessly grateful for every read, vote, and just your time. You’ve kept this story breathing, even during the quiet moments.
          
          Sending you all my love—thank you for being here. 
          
          With all my heart,
          Laye

hey sweet souls,
          
          just wanted to leave a little note here to say thank you — for reading What We Made of Ruins, for sitting with these characters, even if only for a moment. whether the story found a home in you or simply passed through, your presence still means the world to me.
          
          i’ll be stepping away from posting for a while as i gently revise the remaining chapters. the heart of this story is still beating, still becoming — and i want to give it the time and care it deserves to grow into what it’s meant to be.
          
          thank you for your patience, your kindness, your quiet support.
          i’ll return when the story is ready to keep unfolding.
          
          with love, Laye

@Tanaria0 Aww thank you so, so much, lovebug.  I’m sorry I’m just now seeing this, but your words really meant (and still mean) a lot. I’m so grateful you’re enjoying the book—more is definitely coming soon. Thank you for being patient with me

The longest parts of What We Made of Ruins so far have lived in these corners:
            
            ✨ Bayou Belle: Where Love Lights the Candles
            ✨ Where Love Set the Table
            ✨ Where the Warmth Lives
            ✨ We Just Figuring It Out
            
            each of them holds a piece of the ache, the softness, the becoming. and i’m so grateful to those who held space for them — whether it resonated deeply or not at all. just knowing it was read means more than i can say.
