UPDATE PT. 2:
          	
          	But I wanted to end this by saying I really appreciate all of the support and love of my story. When I eventually update, I think you guys will seriously fall in love with the amount of character development I have added, for every character--even the side characters. I felt Alecto was missing something. it was almost emotionally flat, rushed even. When writing, I didn't have set plan/plot for the story. But now that I do, I'm hoping the process will travel along much sooner. 
          	
          	I have also added an extreme amount of detail into Laura's life in Chicago. Look for new characters here!!!! I felt that was a major piece of the story that was missing. 
          	
          	Through maturing over the last year, the message of my story has changed. I realized that many of you are taking Laura's character to heart, and I just want to spread my personal beliefs into that. Don't worry, it won't get political in any way. But I realized that many parts of my story were spreading the wrong message for young women, even though Laura isn't necessarily always a good character. I have strengthened her morals, and the battle she faces between her heart and mind. Simply the essence of being a teenage girl has been implemented into the story in a major way. 
          	
          	I love you guys so much. Please be kind if you reply to this. Harassing me to update won't make me want to update, so you're just ruining it for everyone else.  Anyway, thank you for all the support and love. 
          	
          	Before anyone asks, I have no idea when I will update next. That's pretty much remained the same for the last year. I do apologize if anyone has read the story and gotten to the end, just to be disappointed in me not finishing it. I know how annoying that is. All I'm asking for is some patience. Being an adult is extremely difficult, and in this economy!!!! I have a lot of personal responsibilities, and to protect my identity, I won't get too much into that. But just know, I'm doing my best.

Hey author, I’ve been following since there was only a few chapters of Alecto and supported your amazing writing ever since. And tho I completely understand the nature demanding of life and it’s responsibilities, mixed with having to write and develop a story like yours would be draining on your end and maybe hard to manage all at once. I do think it’s starting to become for lack of a better word disheartening as a reader. As someone who has eagerly checked your page throughout this break eagerly anticipating the day I’ll see an update of some sort. If you could just provide a realistic timeline as to when you’ll actually upload because the unknown of it all is what’s making people constantly ask when you’re updating next. Or if you can just release what you have and update at your own pace rather than us waiting years on end. All love and support to the author and I hope my tone reads as lighthearted and genuine as I feel while typing this. Hope you’re okay author fr

UPDATE PT. 1:
          
          hey y'all, 
          
          it's been a fat minute since I posted on here. I honestly didn't realize it had been so long since I posted an announcement on here. So, I guess I'll give you guys a life update. 
          
          As many of you know, I'm currently in college. I actually recently had my 20th birthday, so... love that for me LMAO. I've also been working a bunch, and next month I start back up in school. Life has been absolutely insane since I last updated Alecto, back in June of 2023. 
          
          I'm still working on rewriting Alecto, and I know you guys will be mad I'm not done yet. However, I'm not going to update until I'm completely confident in my writing. Sadly, because of how busy I am, I haven't been writing as much as I would like. 
          
          I'm actually responding to this on my computer because I haven't opened the Wattpad app on my phone in literal months.  
          
          I don't really know where I was going with this. I've been running on fumes since February. It's a problem LMAO.

Heyy girlie just finished reading alecto 
          First of all ur amazing like srsly Alecto is srsly one of the best badass books I've read and srsly not kidding. I'm so heartbroken after I've read your a/n message.
          Normally I don't read ongoing books which have not been updated from a long period of time but I trusted u on this. One of the author who wrote a wonderful book had your book in the "would die to read for the first time" list so I thought that u might have been done with the book and kept it ongoing cause it's book1. 
          Second of all I know it must have been tiresome for u and that writing about the characters of your book in such a in-depth must have took a toll on you but I swear, its such a pity that this book has been left ongoing and that no one is gonna know the end of Laura's story its like your thoughts have been left unfinished and ik what I'm asking for right now is a big thing considering u have a hella lot of important work in your life but we all literally miss your humor and want to support u in finishing ALECTO
          
          I'm writing this message in hopes that u see it and understand us or maybe even reply cause I'm literally concerned about u after reading your message about how the dark character of your book took a toll on u and how your mental health was broken after that. Pls atleast just reply and let us know how u are and if u can continue your book!!
          
          Wishing to see you reply!!
          Ilysm <3
