Hello. It's been a while hehe. These are just some general updates as of January 18th, 2025. Could be personal or wattpad related. Keep reading if you'd like!

001: So I know some of y'all saw the small rant I posted about cheating. Quick recap. My brother's girlfriend cheated on him and they broke up. Well, here's an annoying update: They got back together. Yes, I know. Curse him out all you want because I do it too.

Here's how it went.

Apparently, he said she was texting some other guy on WhatsApp, he saw it on her phone, confronted her, she said nothing, and left. Then she kept taunting him the whole day about it, showing up to his job and all even with her dad. For what reason? I don't know. But my brother told her dad what happened that day and whatnot.

So, two days after the breakup, she left everything he ever bought her at the front door. Now, that same day, they met up in her car near the entrance to my house. They talked for like an hour. Wtf yall need to say for an hour? Anyways, same thing happened the next day.

She said he was just a friend that wanted to see her and that he came from far. (Possibly our home country, Cuba). Regardless, doesn't excuse her behavior of telling him, "Yes, come into my house!" Like honey, you have a boyfriend.

Anyways, she excused with the "he's just a friend" shit, and said "oh he's super young too". My brother told her to bring him over so he could be the judge of that. Stupid, I know! So she did apparently. She gave him her phone and his phone so my brother could check the messages.

Look, I don't give a flying fuck if it was real or not, but she fucking ran away when he confronted her. I don't want to fucking hear it. It took her two fucking days to call my brother back and show him her phone? Yeah, cause she was fucking thinking about what to do.

And yet, they got back together because he ate it up. Again, I don't give a shit if it's real or not, but now she's clearly gonna see him as someone who's easy to manipulate because clearly, he just got manipulated.

My father said he doesn't want her in our home anymore thank god. My mother doesn't want to see him either.

Forgot to mention, my brother is 30 years old, she's 25. They're grown ass adults okay? Not kids. This stupid behavior of them both is so immature.

002: I saw this one trending online. I forgot if it was Threads or X, but I found it ironic.

So, an author published their book on Amazon or something, and the funny thing is that readers discovered AI in the book.

Funny, I know!

Crazy because I'm always complaining about AI use and all in books for my awards, but here are actual authors using it in their books? Pfff.

And it was obvious because the AI portion said, "Certainly, here's how to enhance your passage..." IN THE MIDDLE OF A TEXT OF THE STORY!! Keep in mind, stories are edited and revised before published, but how come no one saw this?

Yet, the author excused it saying they used AI for minor editing. Yeah, sure. That quote from ChatGPT clearly shows that it was not just a "minor edit" your phone passage was refined, which is clearly what AI does in these scenarios.

I'm just baffled. This is an actual published author. And crazy yet, they published like three books in less than 90 days or something. Possibly all with some AI enhancing.

003: I know some of you saw I opened a new awards called The Lacrimosa Awards. Do make sure to participate! It will open in February!

As for The Trivia Awards, KTH judging is currently taking place. I haven't judged my portion of the books yet because I've been busy with uni, but I promise you there won't be a delay! Keep voting in the Most Liked category!

004: I went through my drawers and closet today and found a lot of clothes I don't use. I'm donating some to the people back in my home country. At least those things that are still good.

(Ignore the cute unicorn on the side).

005: A fellow High School and College classmate of mine is currently battling Stage 4 Lymphoma. If you don't know what it is, it's cancer, and it has spread to her lungs. She's only 18, this is very unfortunate.

Her family is gathering funds for her surgeries and expenses, if you could help donating it would mean a lot! GoFundMe is safe and protected for donations. 1, 5, 10 dollars, everything helps!

006: Wattpad literally gave me a heart attack cause mfs don't say anything. Most accounts that have a higher following or have been active for a long time have lost MANY followers for the past like three or so days and wattpad said nothing.

I sent a ticket and they explained that it was because they were deleting inactive accounts. If you're account it inactive for approximately five years, it will be deleted!

I went from 4.72k to 4.67k in these two days. I was scared fr thinking I was cancelled. I'm like what did I doooo?

But yeah, it's them. I saw users with like 10k losing followers to 9.2k in less than twenty four hours. It's crazy.

007: So! I'm missing only 3 chapters to finish editing Money Means Nothing. Currently there are 21, I think, chapters published out of 40. I know I did say I would start editing King of Hearts next, but I shifted my focus to The Little Bean due to a burst of ideas.

So the current progress is:

- Finish the last few MMN chapters.
- Write TLB.
- Rewrite KOH.

Currently, TLB teaser is out, so please check it out!!

Anyways, that's all for my updates of today! Stay safe! I lob yall!
