⟡ welcome, welcome ⟡
a quick note: this was filmed a while ago, over many weeks. as you'll see in the video, I went straight into revision, sending it to beta readers, etc, which is why it took me so long to get this vlog uploaded lol. if you're new to my channel, this is me documenting "the end" of my drafting process for LOCAL HEAVENS, my adult scifi/cyberpunk novel. (but of course, drafting never truly stops in the editing stage )

LOCAL HEAVENS began all the way back in 2020 and since then, has taken many different forms. the premise is something I've always been passionate about, and after so many years, I'm quite proud of what it has finally become in this draft :)))

other projects mentioned:
SWAY WITH ME UNTIL WE BLEED (short story) forthcoming w/ Augur this year
