Hey, you probably don’t remember, but a few months back, you commented on a story of mine called ‘Chasing Shadows’ that has been on hiatus for a quite a while now. This is mostly because I got busy, had a complete lack of inspiration and didn’t know at all where the story was going.
To refresh your memory, the story is about a homosexual boy named Asher and his older brother Trace, and what happens when a new friend, Jenna, starts to develop feelings for him.
Have I lost you yet? I’ve been going on for far too long now anyway, haha. All I want to tell you is that the story is slowly coming back to life after an extended period on hiatus. I’ve made a new layout, written a new description, and completely re-written the first three chapters that are now available for you to read, provided you are still interested.
I appreciated your previous feedback so much and just wanted to let you know about these developments. I hope that you keep reading and I’d love to hear from you.
Stay golden,
Becca Arrington.

1) YOU CAUGHT MY OLIVE THEORRRYYYY!! :D That was, in fact, a tiny little reference to HIMYM.
2) You commented at exactly 11:11 and that is really cool.
3) Ahaha, I'm glad you liked the "less is more" thing. tbh I hear it more in the "way too much makeup; less is more!" way, but the architecture thing is so much more poetic.
4) A;LDKJL ;KAS;DKL LA;KSD HER MIDDLE NAME IS JASEY RAE OMG I HATE MYSELF. I was literally scrabbling for little ways to put song lyrics in (alex writes songs about her! spoiler alert.) so I got lazy and went, fuck it, just make her have her middle name be one of those. Next thing you know, she'll be a stripper called Maria too! (just kidding that won't happen, but she might know a stripper named maria in the future ehhh)
5) Oh god the porch sequence the porch sequence caused me so much agony. I don't know how to write these things, it was so weird. I imagine it's what writing, like, a sex scene feels like only, um, on a much smaller scale. (that wasn't a really well thought out analogy)
6) IT'S ALL GOOD, DON'T WORRY. I have a bunch of things going on too, most of which I've procrastinated on so I'm doing them all right now at 12:40am when they are due tomorrow morning and oh yeah did i mention i'm kind of sick? BUT I WILL SEE YOU IN A BIT. (also i have been given the go ahead by my madre to dye my hair so WOOOOOO i'm making that my winter break project)
