The severance pacing was whack and they didn’t do a good job seeding certain plot twists or plot points for it to be effective lol

Whether this is a PR stunt or if TT has been given to Meta, it just feels like I’m being sold to the highest bidder bc in America, everything is for sale apparently

these comments always make me sad and grateful💞 I will be relaunching on YouTube (Link in bio to pre subscribe 🥲)
Well to give you your flowers now. Thank you for your writing tip series. I discovered you talking about Jade City and truly enjoyed the content you created. It along with a few other creators got me back into writing and reading for fun again so thank you.

brb crying
Content from you and other writers on Tik Tok is what gave me the confidence to actually start writing my own novel. It made learning about the publishing process so much more accessible. It’s a huge shame.
