I started writing 'He, the Series' when I was in high school.
I was a lonely, queer virgin and I low-key hated myself. But there's credence to the whole 'it gets better' trope because low-and-behold... it got better.

I spent my teenage and young adult years dreaming up plots, getting to know and love my characters and writing over 100,000 words. Now over 15 years later, I've scrapped almost all of that original writing, but it doesn't feel like a waste. It helped me cope, helped me through an abusive relationship, helped me find myself. 

I've still kept much of the essence of the characters (like Nick still has an accent because that was and still is sexy af) and some of the original plot points (with many sappy, familiar romance novel tropes). But I did want to break the mould on some Romance Genre clichés. I wanted to create self-aware characters who understood they weren't perfect and that their partner couldn't be perfect. I wanted to write damaged humans who weren't fixed by love, but who wanted to fix themselves for love. I think I've done that.

So with my post-25 adult brain, I'm revamping it into something I love now, and something I know I would have loved back then. 

I hope you love it too. Please bear with me as I continue to push out chapters and edit. Feedback always welcome. (PSA: I will ALWAYS pick the British spelling.)

And don't worry, I'm no longer lonely, no longer a virgin, no longer hate myself. Still queer tho ✌️
