Hiii love your stories I’ve binged all of them. I’m Ghanaian so it’s nice to see African bl books cause they’re so rare. I was just wondering if you could put your POV changes in bold or underlined. As well as highlighting when there’s a time skip or a flash back cause it gets confusing sometimes. If you could also translate the Xhosa into English when it’s integral to understanding the story that would be great ❤️❤️ ❤️

@Imthatbiach Thank you ❤️.
            The initial plan was to translate most of the dialogue but it often disrupts my flow. The second option was to translate after I've finished the draft but I often get excited and publish without translating. But always try to make the paragraphs reflect on the conversation.
            
            But I'll try to work on translating.

I am completely ignorant so I apologize in advance but what is Xhosa? What part of the world is that?

Ah okay thank you for the synopsis, I’m thoroughly enjoying your writing & am definitely interested in keeping up with your work. I’m grateful for what you can share, I think I’ve seen a video on social media of boys saying their names in their native tounge with clicks. I’m truly happy to learn, this is why I love this app <3

@pinkXkisses I'm just glad to have people read my stories regardless of the language being foreign to them. (⁠ ⁠◜⁠‿⁠◝⁠ ⁠)⁠♡

@pinkXkisses Xhosa people are a tribe in South Africa. They speak isiXhosa. The language is known for its wide variety of clicks and South Africa's first black president Nelson Mandela. I love talking about my people and culture but there's only so much I could say in a wattpad comment section .
