The Ghost is alive >_> 
          	And by Ghost, I mean me.
          	
          	Happy Halloween, everyone!
          	
          	On one hand, I'm happy to report BSS has hit 300 reads today and I'm really truly grateful for that. 
          	
          	Unfortunately, thats about the last of my good news. Despite a couple fun blips, I've been dealing with severe burnout and its really taken its toll on my mental health. I wish I could navigate the part of my brain that doesn't want to cooperate with me but it's been a struggle. I don't talk about my autistic/depressive burnouts, normally I just disappear for a long time and eventually hurt my friendships which I really hate doing so I'm trying to learn from this. I hope anyone reading this will understand and hear me when I say I love you and I promise it has nothing to do with you. 
          	
          	I'm trying to get better about communication but everything feels like a lot now. Definitely not an excuse but I hope its worth something. 
          	
          	I'm hopefully planning to continue updating BSS come next Sunday. 
          	
          	Happy Hallows Eve my lovelies and thank you for understanding.

Heads up! (Mostly to our friendly neighborhood stalkers) 
          
          If you are one of the many spam decorating the comments section of Beneath Skin and Song or any other works of mine, you will be deleted the second I see a phone number/discord link/Instagram, etc. This isnt the appropriate way to go about it even if I believed you were an artist. 
          
          I've grown tired of reporting and replying. I'm over it. So any comments of this variety will be deleted immediately whether you follow me or not. 
          
          Thank you for coming to my Rant. 
          Have a magical Monday lol

@AriaOfStorms Unfortunately, it's a tech vs tech battle, and the bots find insidious ways around the prevention measures. I escape the worst of it by not posting on Wattpad, but they also hit Inkitt once in a while too.

@AriaOfStorms 100% and as we speak, one of them, 2 months old Wattpad account just purple prosed an ads on one of my book. Like they never stop! I wonder how they got the idea and if it never worked!

@AnnamitaMuscaria Honestly! Their comments are too colorful and honestly a little pathetic, like, if you want me to trust you, maybe read some of my actual book. A chapter, a paragraph, but these people can't even be bothered to know the MCs name!!

Hey friends!
          
          Surprise, not so surprise update, but Chapter Five is officially posted and ready for reading!! 
          
          After a long battle with this stupid illness, I finally had the energy to complete the editing for this chapter and get it live! I do, however, still intend to update again on Sunday if time allows so stay tuned for a double update week!! <3

Happy Sunday Lovelies~ Almost Monday...
          
          I'm sorry to say there was no update today. After a chaotic week I caught a cold and haven't managed to use my eyes long enough to do the finishing edits on Chapter 5. Hopefully I'll be up to updating Monday or Tuesday, it entirely depends on my bodies cooperation. 
          
          If you haven't given Beneath Skin and Song a look yet, I highly recommend it.
          
          Huge Thank You to the Amby's for passing both DHH and ASOL into Round 2 and a GIANT congratulations to everyone who made it. I'm sorry I haven't replied to the celebrating and everything, I just don't feel well. 
          
          Also huge shout out to my friends Dee and Cate for making it onto the Wattys Shortlist. 
          
          Terrible week to get sick right? 
          
          Love you all. Have a great night!

Happy Sunday, Shifters! ~ Been dealing with Migraine madness this week so I've been MIA. Hope you're having a good September. Here's a sneak peek of Chapter 4!
                                              ~~~
          “It’s not like they can make us timeless like you–”
          
          “Actually, we’re going to accomplish something even greater,” Counsellor Warrens explained with a sly grin. “Our latest medication will allow the four of you to become human for the length of the mission with administered dosing throughout your stay in Kutcani.”
                                                                               ~~~
