Hiya, lovely peeps!

I love the written word. I love books and fanficiton and blogs; I just love reading in general. When I first picked up reading in 2016, I expected stories to be just that - stories. There’s a plot, characters do this and that, reach climax and end plot. I didn’t know that ‘themes’ and ‘depth’ and ‘feels’ were ever in those stories.

I’ve never been glad to more wrong.

Hiya, lovely peeps!

Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. Thrice is a pattern.

Happy New Year, lovely peeps!

(A month late, but whatever.)

Six months ago, I made a blog recapping everything I’ve done for the first half of 2023. And since the new year has come, it’s time for the recap of the latter half of the year.

Hiya, lovely peeps!

In light of my most recent blog post, where I highlighted my favorites from my comedy shelves, I have decided to do the same thing to another one of my closed shelves - slice of life!

Arranged alphabetically, with a little commentary, here are the highlights!

Hiya, lovely peeps!

Last year, when I remade my library, I mentioned something. I created a new personal rule - none of my shelves shall go beyond 100 stories. You know, for ease of finding the stories I want to re-read.

Last year, I closed Best of Comedy (1). Last week, I closed Best of Comedy (2).

Hiya, lovely peeps!

And wow. Wow.

When I first published Ladybugs Awake, I made a corresponding Behind-the-page. In it, I said that I was so genuinely surprised by the reception and expressed my gratefulness to all of you.

And then you proceeded to shatter my expectations.

100 upvotes? 100 upvotes? It baffles me how well this story is doing.

Bonzour, zot tou!

Roughly translates to “Hello, everyone!”

You know, it’s just occurred to me that I’ve never actually talked about where I’m from. Sure, I’ve mentioned it here and there, but never in detail.

Time to rectify that. 

Hiya, lovely peeps, and greetings from Mauritius! ‘Tis a small island country off the east coast of mainland Africa, with a population of around 1.3 million people.

We did, lovely peeps.

We did it.

When I first started writing in May 2020, I never imagined, never dreamed that we would ever grow so much. But our little family kept growing and before I knew it, we hit one hundred.

There a lot of you now. And I would like to express my undying gratitude to each and every one of you.

Hiya, lovely peeps!

Holy stars. Wow, just wow.

When I posted the story yesterday, I wasnʼt expecting much. It did gain a lot more views than I was expecting (200 in less than 12 hours), but it was a little slow on the upvotes (a mere 7 in 12 hours). I told myself, “Okay. No biggie.”

And then I woke up this morning.
