in life, you have two decisions: be like percy by becoming a hot gay lawyer with a drinking problem, or be like christopher and be a smartass know-it-all

one more chapter until "say my name" is finished >:) then itll be kept up for a bit here before i take it down and have it officially published, so read it while you still can!

"say my name" has been updated as well! im impatient and really wanted to get this out

nadia's art is done so i'll be putting it in the second chapter of "say my name" 

i forgot!! so i commissioned an artist on tumblr to draw arno and nadia. shes got arno done so now im just waiting on nadia. i really recommend checking this artist out!! her tag is @mayearns and what she does is amazing.
          so im gonna upload arno's picture on the first chapter so yall can see my beautiful son

the fact that "say my name" has hit so many reads in these past few months has me sobbing like a lil bitch GOOD LORD. thank u, dear readers. you are so amazing and im so happy you guys (and girls and nonbinaries and everything inbetween) appreciate this story. its so much fun writing it so im really glad others like reading it just as much ❤❤ also pls excuse my spelling mistakes and grammatical issues. im going through, editing, and refining it

say my name - im thinking of cramming in two chapters of flashbacks to the camps bc its only 5 more chapters until it ends but i feel like there hasnt been a lot of info on the backstory. im gonna do a lot of brainstorming on it to figure out what are the most important details that need to be included bc the rest will be in his prequel. chances are, 16 will be a flashback chapter. but also im gonna try to write 2,200 words in these next 5 to hit my 40,000 word mark so  

im going through "say my name" and editting it and i found so many grammar issues, mispellings, and missing words ): wattpad has been erasing some of my words and i know this bc i have it all in my google docs and none of it is missing like here. im gonna edit it all again

if anyone wants to -
          id really like it if any readers interacted with me. like tell me your thoughts, what you think should (or is going to) happen, any questions or comments, or any suggestions. that would be really cool and i wouldnt mind it a bit
          
          with that being said
          "say my name" is going to be coming to a close in the next few chapters. a lot will happen. and i mean A LOT. also on my tumblr soon, i'll be posting a photo of arno's official art. i'm commissioning an amazing artist for it so im super excited to see him in full color and to share him.
          i hold arno really close to my heart. ive put a lot of myself into him to tell both my story and to process why i feel things the way i do. hes my absolute child ❤ so seeing others enjoy his story as much as i enjoy writing him warms my heart.
          i'll also be writing his prequel when the story comes to a close, but im not sure if i'll upload it shortly after or not. i want to start again on "chienne noire" once this one is done, but im doing more research and asking more poc about their experiences to write it accurately

yall oh my HELL say my name has reached 201 reads. i have never once thought id actually get this far. i only started to write it bc i played metro and went "yo thats cool as shit but now i want more and to control every aspect." then i started to write this book and got lost in it, so i made it all 100% my own original work. im just -- thank u, u cute lil funky beasts. ur amazing. i love u lil babies with all four of my hearts, u wild minx babey u
