Update on Hollow wing.
I can honestly say, thank god I longhand to keep up with my goals.
I just want to let everyone know that I am working on the chapter and the upload should be going up.
But for anyone new:
Hi my name is Alexia, this is my second novel but what makes my writing different is I try to give the most accurate writing of bipolar through living in it in the character’s mind.
So when the characters mind drifts off, you’re taken with it.
As someone who has bipolar CPTSD and ADHD, I felt that notebook accurately could show what it was like and so
With Hallow Wing on Wattpad is showing someone who is struggling with temptation and staying true with her faith while her mind is representing someone who deals with bipolar.
Ghost of Blackmore, which is available at Barnes & Noble is how grief with bipolar could show up. I decided to make the symptoms into my characters.
So each of my books, kind of allow a different lens while also still being horror.

Writing Hollow Wing has been a deeply personal and cathartic experience for me. As someone living with bipolar disorder, CPTSD, and ADHD, I've always sought ways to express what these conditions truly feel like beyond the clinical descriptions. With this novel, I wanted to bring readers into the raw and often confusing reality of a mind affected by these challenges — portraying the experience not just through explicit explanation but through the character's shifting thoughts and the subtle, almost dreamlike distortions of perception. One key aspect I focus on is how mental health struggles impact daily decisions, especially those involving morality and faith. My protagonist wrestles with temptation but also strives to stay true to her beliefs, illustrating the constant inner dialogue many people with bipolar might face. By embedding these themes within a horror framework, the story conveys the intensity and unpredictability often associated with mental illness, making it both relatable and gripping. Transcribing my handwritten drafts using tools like the Kindle Scribe allows me to slow down and engage thoughtfully with each chapter before the editing process. This hands-on approach helps me maintain authenticity and refine the pacing and tone, ensuring readers feel immersed in the character’s experience. I also explored grief in my other work, Ghost of Blackmore, where bipolar symptoms are artistically personified within the characters. This approach helps readers feel the emotional complexity firsthand rather than just reading about it intellectually. Each book offers a different lens into mental health while maintaining a suspenseful, horror-filled atmosphere. For anyone interested in literature that offers mental health insights through compelling storytelling, I hope Hollow Wing and my other novels provide both understanding and engagement. Writing from lived experience is challenging but incredibly rewarding, especially when it creates connections with readers navigating similar struggles. Feel free to follow along on Wattpad and join the conversation around bipolar portrayal in fiction — it’s important that these stories are told accurately and empathetically.
