I just submitted 'In The Name Of Family' for the Watty Awards and… I’m honestly still crying. This story took something real out of me. It’s more than fiction. It’s pieces of me—my pain, my hope, my healing, my heart—all wrapped into these characters, these pages, these moments.
I finished it with 11 hours to spare, shaking, exhausted, proud as hell. Whether anything comes of it or not—I already won. I told the story I needed to tell. I showed up for my voice. And that means everything to me.
So if you’ve been reading, supporting, or even silently lurking—thank you. Thank you for being here while I bled onto the page.
Go read it. Or reread it. Or scream with me. Because this is huge and I’m not gonna pretend it’s not.
Love y’all. Truly. -Destinysmagical
