@Ayanokoji_Kiyotaka17
Man did the time go,
I'm sorry I've not been active in Wattpad in like EVER. But a lot has changed for me in recent times. I graduated from High School and yeah... It's been a lot.
But I'm back now, and I've been juggling a lot of things as of late. Is it alright if I ask what happened so I'm back in the loop?
Hey guys I think you lot need an update on how things have been since ngl I haven’t been checking my Wattpad a lot lately
SIKE APRIL FOOLS!
Nah I’m just kidding. In all seriousness it’s been nearly 2 months since my last announcement. I have done a bit of work on Vol 1. Chapter 13 - Fight to the Death.
I may get some previews up since I have written a fair bit since that last announcement but it’s been “bugger all.” School has been a bit of hindrance (Not in a bad way obviously) at the time of posting this I have one more exam I have to sit (On the last day of my current term - nice I know) and I have been getting stockpiles of new assignments and exams for my next term. So if I can keep my word which I have not been doing a great job of. Once I get over this week which is my final week of the term before I go on a 2 week break before doing it again.
I am hoping to get at the very least Chapter 13 & 14 done. The SS will need time before they get published and I’ll have to read and analyse COTE again as a whole since I haven’t been up to date and well as aforementioned life has caught up to me.
Health wise, it’s been a bit miserable. But I’ll explain that at the end of Chapter 13. Since it’s it’ll be too lengthy to elaborate here!
Sorry for keep y’all in the dark!
Just a check in for those curious into how I've been in and around Valentine's Day. I'm single for those curious sorry :(
I am currently swamped with schoolwork and I am somewhat gone from fresh sliced bread to burnt toast.
Sadly I haven't been writing for a while as a result of this and I have no confirmation on when Married Life: Karuizawa Kei will end Volume 1. Of course there will be more volumes as I promised but yeah busy times currently.
Although I have gotten better healthwise I have been going off like a kettle. It has been stressful and frustrating at the same time but. I'm confident I'll be okay but it hasn't been an easy week so far. My Mother has been concerned for me and at some point (At the time of posting) I'll be checked out if I have any clear signs for any health signs and get much needed support. I'll be upfront even long before I joined Wattpad it's been a painful journey last 4 years. But now help certainly has come at a much needed time.
Alongside Married Life: Karuizawa Kei which as of right now Chapter 13 is still around 45-55% complete. I am working on a new project and I've also spent a good amount of time working on it. It's not COTE related but it still is in the realms of romance. (You may have noticed it in my About Me)
It won't be like how I will set up the COTE fanfics I have lined up. But I'm sure you'll enjoy reading it. More about it in the future once more development has come out.
As for Married Life: Matsushita Chiaki. I still plan on doing that series and it will be similar in terms of structure like I've done with the Karuizawa Kei fanfic. I have a rough idea of what I will do I just haven't put keyboard to word documents yet
But yeah, just an update on how I've been. I wish I could work on them right now but in the midst of my final year of high school. I really need to perform this year and just be on top of everything.
Thanks for your patience it hasn't been easy.
Bit of an update with what has been going on
I'm back at school (Kinda) but it has been a shaky start to my final year in high school. As if the timing couldn't get better someone decides to turn the sun off and cried so hard that some areas where I live have been forced to evacuate and there are many roads that have been flooded out.
Fortunately I am not living in an area where flooding is a major concern but it has been difficult with school suspended temporarily until further notice and being prepared to be thrown under the bus with assignments etc. I have been focused on that.
Additionally having to stay put at home and also my Grandmother hurting her kneecap - requiring operations and that being the case for a few months after discharge I am slightly forced (For my good and whether I like it or hate it) to pull my weight up and do some of the tasks at home.
So I haven't done a lot of writing since the last announcement and with everything currently going on its unclear if I'll get Chapter 13 out however, I can and will upload a few more previews prior to release.
Also kinda haven't been on Wattpad a lot lately so in some ways this is also to clear up where have I been and all!
Thanks a lot for understanding I want to get Volume 1 completed preferably before March but who knows!
Ayanokoji out!
@anhs7442 I should be a bit more specific. It was a reverse 30. Which is you reverse in a straight line BUT you must turn your head and look constantly at the back windows with occasional checks to the left mirror to ensure you don't hit the curb and also you must stop if there are any cars coming. What I did was I don't think I turned my head once and was constant on my mirrors hence the Critical Driving Error (CDE) but apart from one mistake which ultimately is why I'm retaking it. Perfect all around. It's just admittedly leading up to the test I've only done a Reverse 30 once and it had been months but there had been a lot of emphasis on reverse parallel parking and I also find that I don't turn my head towards the rear window because I'm too reliant on my mirrors and also because what I drive it's a massive blindspot at the back. (I drive a ute)
@anhs7442 Oh and uh I forgot to mention it but 28th of Jan. had my driving test. Nearly passed I had a Critical Driving Error so welp. Had it not been for not turning my head while reversing. It would’ve been perfect. Got another one booked for the 25th of February so I’ll be back with redemption!
Little bit late to say this now but yesterday (at the time of writing) the 12th of January I celebrated my 17th birthday. I am finally 17 now. My driving test is a few weeks away as is the commencement of my final year in high school where I have 11 months of anything that i can describe of all school leading up to this point. All the triumphs, pain, joy, agony. Anything I can think of has lead me to this point. I have devoted a bit of time to preparing for school with it being 2 weeks away. I have made progress on my stories but I haven’t touched it a fair bit.
I do plan on finishing them just of course managing my time is an important skill I’m yet to hold let alone do.
As for my health? New visions have been given down to me and I have been a bit more joyful and energetic nowadays. I can still feel empty and all but it has definitely been lifted off my shoulders!
Planning to amp it up to the max my effort and give it my all. As I’ve expressed those stories should come real soon I just don’t have a specific date as of late!
Thank you all!
@DrOktoberfest Thanks a lot. Particularly in recent times mental health is no joke it really is difficult to reach out sometimes. It compounded if you do have a fear of what others may think should you reach out. It takes a lot of courage that's for sure.
@Ayanokoji_Kiyotaka17 Happy birthday my friend, I can understand that you don't have much time to write, for I am also taking a short time off from writing due to exam season. But hearing your health getting better is good news, stay strong and you can do anything.
Little bit better now start of 2025 has been okay been on the right notes.
Vol 1. Chapter 13 and 14 of Married Life: Karuizawa Kei
Chapter 13 is at least 40% complete and will likely get done today if I put my mind 100% on it.
I’ll try and Married Life: Matsushita Chiaki up and running as well immediately as soon as I complete Vol 1. of Married Life: Karuizawa Kei.
But I have been working and getting the groundwork on a decently sized project and it’s still a work in progress I’m still finishing out the groundwork for it but it will something that’s not anime related but still focuses on romance (I have a thing or two for writing Romance fictional stories it seems haha) more info will come out very soon and chapters will be released likely maybe the end of the month will see how things go!
Anyways happy reading and a bit of a late Happy New Year as well ahahaha to kickstart 2025!
I've been trying to manage my health, it's been nearly 4 years since I devolved into the state I currently am in.
Nothing has been driving me, not even writing, music. Nothing.
It's as if... I have been consumed by fire and just living life alone, cold, heartless, empty anything I could explain my environment right now.
Coupled with addictions, it's been tiring and exhausting nearly 4 years of my life potentially undiagnosed but showing clear signs I'm not okay.
I haven't spoken to anyone for a large part about how I am fearing vulnerability except for a single person who comforts me.
I'm still holding strong, I'm holding on still but yeah just been living my life on down and things that make me happy i sense is there for me to cope and get out of my low battery mode that is fighting off supposedly undiagnosed depression which sometimes I can show subtlety but no one will notice.
I still hold my word that Volume 1 of Married Life: Karuizawa Kei will be done by the end of this year it's just about putting my mind on it.
I hope I don't tear anyone up but I... Yeah, I'll end my typing here.
@HundredBlossoms In my case it's not necessarily about being a people pleaser. It's a bit deep rooted than that. I'm not anti-social but i do have social issues. Notably within school. I don't strive for popularity but at least having a good group of friends. But certainly, in some ways I have noticed sometimes... I do get used up, but I don't always notice it. I do question myself do I find myself compatible. Also admittedly, I do value someone's company as well. I don't mind being alone don't get me wrong but it's like a drug - if i overdo it. It can be miserable and all that. So there are a lot of holes and problems in life. Ofc I'm not proud it. I am heading into my final year of high school, and part of me is already looking forward to uni and the next chapter of my life but part of me knows I still have 2025 left and strive to get myself up from my broken and shattered throne covered in blood and out of the rut i have been in for years. Even someone religious like myself have these hidden battles and if i can get through it with someone's company it'd be better than always facing things alone :)
@Ayanokoji_Kiyotaka17 I’ve learned over the years that I need to be less of a people pleaser and be more self-centered. It’s worked out in my favor for my own confidence. It’s not like I’m too self-absorbed that I disregard other people. I just make it my own objective to make myself happy.
@HundredBlossoms Thanks, it’s never easy. Granted I haven’t helped myself and sometimes neglect self care but yeah. I do have genuine fear on how people react to when you have issues regardless of who it is. Even family members.
btw have you seen the breakup? if so thoughts?
Ic Ic thats fine @Ayanokoji_Kiyotaka17 of course real life comes 1st hopefully you get it sorted out.
@CSS655 I'll admit I've only seen the anime, interpretations and breakdown of events in Classroom of the Elite after the Anime so there are evident and clear gaps in what I know. So stuff like this I am more likely to miss even though I am quite analytic and always having an eye for detail. I could get the light novels myself. If I didn't have a fear about finance and stuff like that in this day and age haha. But yeah that's interesting to hear.
Updates!
More Haste, Less Speed will undergo a revision. More info will come out soon.
Vol 1. Chapter 13 on Married Life Karuizawa Kei is still being worked on and hoping to get it done sometimes this week as well as Chapter 14
At some point a preview of Chapter 14 will come out as the ending of Volume 1 of Married Life Karuizawa Kei etches closer and closer.
No work has been done yet to the 3 Short Stories but I'll cross that bridge soon.
