Hi guys.
This has been a long time coming, and I can’t keep putting it off. I know many of you have noticed how inconsistent my updates for Troubled Steps have been, and I feel like I owe you an honest explanation.
To start with, I want to be clear: I no longer consider myself a Kylia shipper. At first, writing this story felt fun—playing with reality a bit, creating a space where people could explore that dynamic. It felt like harmless escapism. But as time’s gone on, it’s started to feel off.
I began writing less than a year ago, but I’ve grown a lot since then. And with that growth came discomfort. I’m no longer okay with reshaping real people into a version that fits my (or anyone’s) fantasy. Do I think Kylie and Malia look good together visually? Sure. But do I actually want them to be together in real life? No. There’s a big difference between shipping fictional characters and turning real people into stories. That line feels blurry now, and honestly, I’m not comfortable with it anymore.

Because of that, I’ve lost my inspiration for this fic. The reasons I started writing it just aren’t there anymore. I’ve tried pushing through, but every time I do, it leaves me with this awful pit in my stomach, like I’m doing something that goes against my gut.
On top of that, everything going on with Kylie lately has made it hard to feel safe or even welcome in this fandom. I still appreciate her as a singer, actress, and artist. But the way she’s been handling certain situations lately just doesn’t sit right with me. And I’m someone who can’t stay quiet when something feels wrong (like I’m doing right now.) That’s just who I am. I believe in being honest, even when it’s unpopular. And I think Kylie, as someone with influence, should’ve done the same.
All of that to say; I’m taking a break. It’s an open ended one. I don’t know how long I’ll be away, but please don’t expect any updates in the meantime. I’ll try to wrap up Troubled Steps after the break, but I can’t promise anything. Right now, this story is making me feel more anxious than inspired, and I don’t want to keep forcing myself to do something that doesn’t sit right with me.
To those of you who truly enjoy the book: I’m so sorry. I never meant to disappoint or hurt anyone. But I have to stay true to my values, and right now, that means stepping back.
Take care.
I’m really sorry.
- Millie.

Alguien que me haya hecho caso y que esté leyendo “Mi Sargento”?
shitpostingmillie
Hey guys! Para mis lectores que hablan español, acabo de agregar una historia a mi reading list, se llama “Mi Sargento”. Es una adaptación, está recién partiendo, pero la veo muy prometedora. Vayan a ver que tal, y háganle saber al autor/a si les gustó!!!
El autor/a ha subido de 1 a 3 capítulos todos los días, así que eso también es agradable

Writing on a writers block its like blow drying the head of a bald man. You do all the work, it just doesn’t make any sense
