I’ve decided to take down Wicked Games in Wicked Hearts for now. The more I reread my writing, the more I realized it just doesn’t reflect what I want it to anymore. I poured a lot of myself into that story, and Laila will always hold a special place in my heart, but right now it feels like the best thing is to step back and focus on something that inspires me again.
I don’t want anyone to think this means I’m done with writing altogether — if anything, it’s the opposite. I’ve been falling in love with the Boys of Tommen universe, and I’ve decided to turn this account into a space where I can really dive into that world. It feels right, and it feels like where my creativity wants to go.
Thank you to anyone who supported me through Wicked Games. It means more than you know. Stories may change, projects may shift, but the love I had for writing those characters will never leave me. Laila will forever be part of me, even if she’s resting off the page for now.
