please read

~ this is a very, very rough first draft. So, if you have any critiques or constructive criticism, it is very much welcome, however you probably won't notice any changes until I (inshallah) finish this story and move onto the editing phase.

~ a tangent to that point, i am not american. This means that i have to research the smallest of details and i am not always so well informed. so, if you notice any small mistakes geographically, about law, about the weather; any of that boring stuff, please point them out! however, note that I am not really caring for those details in my first draft.

~ tangent no. 2,  the mc is an aspiring cinematographer. I literally know nothing about it hahah. so please, if any of you guys are educated on the subject, message me and help a girl out lol! there will be probably a lot of mistakes regarding that. also, there will be spanish in this book and I don't speak spanish, so if there any mistakes, please let me know.

~ please don't be a silent reader. i know everybody says this and that's because it matters. i have already written about fifteen chapters of this story and i wasn't planning on posting it. alas, i decided to share it. share. that means i hope to spread even the tiniest bit of joy throughout my stories and that i hope to get feedback as well. it's nerve-wrecking enough for someone with anxiety to post their stories, but without feedback, it's even worse. it leaves all the room for me to worry and fret and get no sleep. please let me sleep lmfao.
