I have to say that I love Echolite so far, I don’t know if you have any social media so I’m unsure if you've just stopped uploading here or in general. Either way, I'd love to see where the story goes, and I hope you're doing well. I don’t use Inkitt often, but I check in every few weeks to see if Echolite has updated. I really hope you haven't dropped the story, I'm a big fan of it. ❤️

Phewhh. Got my 8 chapters done ooohhhhh we are now raising the stakes. Submitted it to Wattpad's contest and Inkitt, and now looks like I need to promote them both more actively online... somehow. If anyone has thoughts or ideas where would be the best place to drop the link and description, do let me know. I might just hot Bluesky, Reddit and Tumblr, see how it goes. Since I just pumped 3 chapters this week I will take next week off, focus on promoting, and come back March 1 with something new. <3

I just realised I somehow snoozed and fell off the edge of the planet but the New Year, New Story Writing Contest on Inkitt AND the Just Writer It 8 Chapter Challenge deadline on Wattapad are both February 28 and I have 10 days to add 3 more chapters so... *cracks fingers* Get ready for a tripple upload.

Excerpt from my first Character Interview on my blog for Echolite, Chapter One :)

Serafima: Jin-Haru, how do you feel about your introduction to, essentially, what the reader can expect throughout the book?

Jin-Haru: We meet my character in a very vulnerable, fragile state. Really not at his best. And before you really know anything about him, who he is or what happened, he starts singing. If the rest of the story will give a lot of build up and context to the lyrics, here we just go straight into it. It's raw. It's a song about how my charcater feels frustrated over the fact that things just never seem to look up for him, and he kind of knows why but also doesn't quite understand why.

Serafima: It's quite neurodivergent-coded, if I can say that as your co-lyricist.

Jin-Haru: Sure. But what the first chapter says about him, more than anything is the fact that—look, my character said way more in his musical number than he even spoke in the entire chapter I think. Mason just talks and talks and doesn't shut up.

Mason: [laughs]

Jin-Haru: For two chapters, in fact.

(Why, yes, you can find back-stage stuff on my Patreon if you wanna dive a little deeper into the story or me as an author at patreon.com/collection/1939534)

Oh noo, I was really getting into The Awesome Adventures of Superhero Pornstars but looks like the author removed it from Inkitt because I can't find it anymore (T_T) I was kind of excited to see where that was going. Oh, well, time to catch up on reading @AnnaNym's "The Bittersweet Taste Of Ashes" <3

Please forgive me for the spamming as I try to figure out how the wall works on Mobile, tryping and copy pasting is really hard. :D

Had a loooong and tedious moving out of my old place, moving into a new place, but now I'm getting back into reading and writing this week. I'll be posting two chapters this week, and two chapters next week, so I can catch up with Wattpad's "Just Write" 8 Chapter Challenge and Inkitt's "New Year, New Story" competition. Chapter 4 out today, Chapter 5 coming tomorrow!

Thank you, all of you new readers who added Echolite to their lists, reacted, commented or gave a review. I no longer feel like I am writing into the void, and I'll be thinking of y'all while writing to get chapters out faster!
