July 2025 Updates

Hi, everyone! I hope your July has been going well! For the first time since April, I’m finally not doing these updates last minute. :) Anyways, my updates are below.

• I worked a bit more on my ren sisters story and, of course, on the TDQP sequel. My sister and I had originally outlined the TDQP trilogy back when we were about 15 and 12, and then I re-outlined it roughly four years later. Now that I’m almost 24, I’m thinking of editing the outline again. My understanding of the world has grown so much since my sister and I first conceived this project, and I know my worldview will continue to adapt and change. It’s been fascinating seeing how this story grows alongside me.

• I’ve been re-reading The Silmarillion the last few months, and it’s been interesting seeing how much sibling relationships and dynamics make up the story. 

Anyways, that’s it for this month! I would love to know what collaborative projects you’ve been working on or sibling-related stories you’ve been reading in the comments! This month, I urge you to support USCPR’s Water Is Life Gaza campaign, which is a Palestinian-led project that delivers clean water to families displaced by Israel’s ongoing genocide. I also encourage you to support Refugees in Libya, an organization advocating for refugees throughout North Africa and Europe. Finally, please support the Massachusetts Bail Fund, which is an abolitionist direct service organization that pays bail for those who cannot afford it.
