Hello! It's been a whiiiiillle. For those of you who are still following me, thank you. I've been focusing on school for the last handful of years but am wanting to get back into writing because I miss doing it for fun, not just for my studies. 
          
          I am currently working on two stories. I would love, love, LOVE feedback on them! General positive comments and engagement is always great, but if you could offer a few tidbits of something constructive, too, that would be fabulous. I do have a Twitter account for my writing (@montblanca) if anyone has an interest in that :) Anyways, here's the low down: 
          
          The Goddess of Blessed Death - If you like Greek mythology, exploring/confronting gender issues/dynamics, Hades-Persephone-type lovers, Hades and Persephone, Hercules, and more, welcome lol If you are interested in Thanatos, Death deities, and potentially learning more about ancient Greece as I share some of my research involved in writing this, you'll enjoy this one! 
          --> https://www.wattpad.com/story/255845692-the-goddess-of-blessed-death
          
          The Vampire King [title a W.I.P.] - For those who like vampires, exploring vampire themes and motifs and stereotypes, cross-cultural exchanges and communication, human/vampire relationships and power dynamics, power imbalances, enemies-to-lovers, blood-drinking kinks, war aftermath, politics and the scheming that comes with it! 
          --> https://www.wattpad.com/story/255796271-the-vampire-king
          
          I am in grad school so wish me luck with keeping up with everything lol, but seriously, I do want to commit more to writing and would love to use Wattpad and AO3 as platforms/communities to find the motivation to do so. Looking forward to getting back into the swing of things and building a steady habit of writing! Hope to hear from you all on my latest works :)

@NSavage1 Another thing (wow, I'm out of practice with this stuff lol)....  Updates are scheduled to be every other week for each of the two stories. That'll look like posting on TGBD one week, TVK the next, then TGBD, then TVK, and so on. I will update if there are any changes. If I happen to have an unusually free week (doubtful with grad school but you never know with all this self-quarantining), I might be able to post twice that week (once for each story) if I'm not wiped out. Again, thank you, thank you to all!

Oh! I also got a minor (almost a major but not quite) in creative writing, so hopefully, now that I'm back, I've improved a lot compared to previously! It also means I've taken workshop classes, so I won't mind and will actually very much appreciate some constructive feedback!! If you do decide to critique, I simply ask that it remain specific (rather than just, "It's too character-based:" how so/why? what can I do about it in your opinion? etc.) and respectful. I want my account to be a safe space so hate will be deleted, whether it be in "critiquing" or being rude to another wattpadder. 
            
            With that little disclaimer, I'm looking to my continued improvement, even though my studies are no longer focused on creative writing, and I hope getting back into this will give me that chance and a little push forward. If you are able to engage with my latest works, I look forward to it!! :)
