what i’ve been doing and why updates are so slow:
          
          - making bracelets and rings from really small beads
          - journaling
          - writing for work
          - self-studying languages
          - trying out new crafts
          
          soooo… i’ve been doing a lot. i’m still slowly writing my fics, but i’ve been trying to focus more on taking care of myself. i’ve been quite active on insta, but it’s mostly just me sharing what i’ve been making. i’ll try to update something here soon and i still have a lot of story ideas in my drafts.

Hi, I’m Martina! I’ve been writing and reading on Wattpadd for a few years now. I really loved your Kol Mikealeson fanfiction “We Belong”, it’s a wonderful story! I am attending a language course at university and I wanted to ask you if I can translate your story into Italian, so that it can reach a wider audience who will surely love it as much as I do. Obviously I don’t ask for anything in return, I’m happy to do it and in this way I can gain experience in the field of translations. I obviously recognize all your rights, specifying that it is a translation and quoting you several times. Let me know what you think, it would be an honor for me!

hello, wattpad is being a clown and setting titles into question marks. i’m still waiting for updates on this, but you guys can check out their article of sorts regarding it through the link below. apparently, it’s happening to many stories here. hopefully, they can address this soon

hello. so besides my anxiety attack, i recently got sick. i wasn’t able to write anything for days, especially for work.
          
          since writing for work means money to survive, i’ll have to prioritize getting my groove back on that first before i get on with the updates again. but expect regular updates for my xo, kitty to start again next week. i also have the next chapter for izzy scheduled before getting sick.

Me: depressed 
          Isadora and Kol exist together 
          Me: less depressed 
          
          Thank you 

an update from yesterday’s trigger:
          
          said trigger practically slandered my friend who defended me. they even admitted to leaving negative comments because they enjoy getting a reaction out of people. my friend has also found their negative comments on other books. they have no idea how powerful words can be, especially with how much work writers put into their work.
          
          please treat people with kindness, especially strangers. we never know what anyone is going through.

it’s that time again where i get anxiety about that specific fandom. i still love it and i share that with my friends, but there is still a level of toxicity in my comment section despite my constant reminder to be kind. 
          
          if you don’t like it, feel free to leave. you don’t have to comment hate when you don’t even know how a certain writer works hard for it.
          
          tropes exist, yes. it can make some things predictable. but you have no idea how much thought a writer puts into it to make that trope theirs and put a twist of their own.
          
          as much as i love my books for this fandom, it’s exhausting and i’m constantly discouraged from writing for it because of the negativity around it.

fixed the playlist for the songs used in my xo, kitty fic. check it out on spotify, i guess, if you’re looking for recs for korean songs:

check out this edit by my bestie @writingmagic to celebrate 300k with we belong: https://vt.tiktok.com/ZS8TBxBGW/
          
          i took down izzy’s stories as a coping mechanism. but when something happened, editing and working on her story became my healing. so to celebrate 300k, the first chapter of waste is back up and the third book is already in the works. wish me luck and thank you guys for your unending support!
