October 2025 Updates
Happy October! Thank you for stopping by. My updates are below.
- I finally finished the ren sisters story and actually gifted it to one of my sisters for her birthday, which was fun.
- Speaking of my sisters, I had fun hanging out with both of them this month! I got to see each of them three times.
Thanks again for stopping by! You are welcome to share your collaborative art projects and sibling updates in the comments! This month, I encourage you to support The Needle of Hope, which raises money for Omar to tailor clothes for children in Gaza, the Sudan Solidarity Collective, which is raising money to support food distribution in El Fashir, and the Ohketeau Cultural Center, which is a Native-led cultural center that supports Indigenous people in Central and Western Massachusetts.

September 2025 Updates
Hello! I hope your September treated you well. My updates for this month are below.
- I worked a little more on the ren sisters short story. I’m in the final scene I have planned, so I’m hoping to finish writing it soon.
- I also visited Hunter this month, and we watched Adventure Time together, and that was nice.
Thank you for checking out my updates and you are welcome to share your collaborative project updates and general sibling news in the comments! This month, I encourage you to support AIDESEP, an organization in Peru that supports the rights of Indigenous peoples along the Amazon. It appears that you need a Peruvian identification number to support them financially through their website, but you can follow their social media accounts for more information about their actions. I also encourage you to support On the Rise, a Massachusetts community and Safe Haven for women, transgender, and nonbinary people moving through homelessness, and to follow Refugees in Niger, which brings attention to the Black African refugees protesting the neglect and human rights abuses they are facing in Agadiz.

August 2025 Updates
Hi, all! I hope you had a good August! I have this month’s updates below.
- I worked a little more on the ren sisters short story, and hopefully, I will be done writing it by the next update.
- I have made the decision to put The Dragon Queen’s Prisoners sequel on an indefinite hiatus. I re-read the first book along with my original plans for the sequels, and I have just changed so much as a person since I wrote the first book when I was in high school. And I have decided I would rather work on other stories than continue working on this one. Fortunately, I don’t think anyone except my father even read the first one, so I don’t think this news will really affect anyone. I will still keep the first book up on Wattpad for those interested.
Anyways, that’s my updates for this month! I would love to learn about your collaborative art and sibling-related projects in the comments. This month, I encourage you to check out the National Black Food & Justice Alliance, a coalition supporting Black self-determination and food sovereignty in the US. Additionally, The Okra Project is a mutual aid collective supporting Black Trans folks through food and housing security and mental health support. I also urge you to support the Rohingya Community Partners’ fundraiser to run a training program for Rohingya refugee youth and girls.

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.

June 2025 Updates
Hello! I hope you are well! My updates for June are below:
- I worked more on the ren sisters short story and I should be almost done with the first draft soon!
- I also worked more on The Dragon Queen’s Prisoners’ sequel. I’m still in the Nala chapter but it’s progressing forward.
Thank you for reading my updates! Please feel welcome to share any collaborative or sibling-related projects you are working on in the comments. This month, I encourage you to donate to the Sameer Project, a Palestinian initiative working to provide medical aid, supplies, and food in Gaza. Also, please check out ‘Āina Momona, a community organization working toward environmental health, social justice, and Hawaiian sovereignty. Thirdly, Hope Relief and Rehabilitation is a Sudanese organization supporting people with disabilities, particularly in the Nuba Mountains, where famine has been declared.

May 2025 Updates
Well, hello a bit later than usual this month! I hope you are all well. I have written my updates for this month below.
- I wrote a bit more of The Dragon Queen’s Prisoners sequel. It’s a chapter from Nala’s perspective, and diving more into her emotions has been interesting.
- I also wrote more of the ren sisters short story, and it’s been a journey diving into their complicated relationship.
That’s all for this month and I would love to hear about what stories you have been working on or sibling-related stories you recommend reading below! This month, if you live in the US, I encourage you to contact your congresspeople to urge action regarding the ongoing forced famine in Gaza here and to advocate against cutting SNAP here. Please also review Saroyah’s Twitter list here for updated information regarding the continuing humanitarian crisis in Sudan. For more resources and organizations to support, please look here.
April 2025 Updates
Hello! I hope you are doing alright. My updates for the month are below.
- I wrote more of the ren sisters story and did a little more work on The Dragon Queen’s Prisoners sequel. I also now have a Neocities site and Wix blog that you can find on my Carrd.
- On a sweet note, a friend got me into Bluey, and the sibling dynamic between Bluey and Bingo has seriously been reminding me so much of my sister and me when we were little.
As always, thank you for checking out my updates! Please share your writing updates and any sibling-related stories you’ve been reading/watching in the comments! This month, I encourage you to support the Basandja Coalition, which lifts the voices of Indigenous and local communities in the Congo Basin, and FiveforFive, a collective fund for trans women in the UK.
