Hello, readers! 
          
          Currently I am mainly working on a new book project that I will be publishing soon here on wattpad (hopefully by Feb) & as my little side-quest, I am also finalizing the outline of 'The Supreme Witch' Book 2 of AWT. 
          
          I am super excited for the new story idea (fantasy!) I had in mind rn & I can't wait to share it to y'all soon hehe, so for now, ayun muna ang main focus ko sa pagsusulat before continuing AWT (which serves as my pahinga rin muna to refresh my brain haha.)
          
          Saka na ako mag-update ng chapters for the AWT Bk 2 once matapos ko na yung new book project na nasimulan ko (But rest assured pa rin na by this year ko itatapos 'yon & in this year ko din itutuloy ang pag-update ng new chapters ng AWT, yey!). I don't wanna pressure myself in updating two different books at the same time, baka kasi magwawala pa ako pagganun (lol) lalo na't may college responsibilities pa akong bina-balance plus I'm not really good in multi-tasking & I've got bad attention span ://
          
          Anyways, ayun lang for now, thanks for listening & stay tuned for future updates! 
          
          
          
          

Cheers to another year survived! Staying was our bravest win ✊
          
          Happy New Year everyone! ✨

BOOK 1 — Veiled Secrets of the Ashburn Witches Trilogy — is now COMPLETE.
          
          After 521 days of writing, rewriting, and refusing to quit, natapos ko na ang BOOK ONE \(T0T)/ <333
          
          This is honestly the best gift I ever gave myself this year <333
          
          Thank you to everyone who supported this story—every read, vote, and quiet cheer meant more than you know.
          
          And just so we’re clear—Book One is only a preamble to something far more sinister.
          
          I repeat. SINISTER.
          
          Anyway—ayown lang.
          
          Happy holidays! *insert xmas emoji kasi ayaw ni wattpad magpalagay* xoxo

Oops, my bad! 
          
          Hindi pa pala ako nakapag-update last week but I'll try to update by this weekend. For the meantime, I've been juggling a lot of school responsibilities rn (lalong-lalo na sa research namin na nakakagigil) kaya hindi ko ma-finalized agad yung mga drafts ko kasi I keep shifting from task to task at time to time, and heck, it's burning me out knowing school is something I thought that I'm just doing it for survival and it is something na pampawalang-gana lang siya sa life for me . . . meanwhile, writing novels is my true calling, my number one pahinga talaga huhu. 
          
          Anyways, majority of the chapters are fully edited! Sa tingin ko, mas better na siyang basahin hehe. Aminado akong nag-iimprove ako . . . so lmk whatchu think of the improvements sa mga chapters & stay tuned for the new updates! <333

          Hello to the dearest readers of AWT! 
          
          While working on the new updates, I'll also start self-editing the already published chapters. Don't worry-- no scenes will be changed. I'll just be polishing scene descriptions, fixing dialogues, removing redundancies, correcting typos and cleaning up some wordings. If you've noticed something about my writing style, yes, I do lean a lot into internal narration and character thoughts--- especially Sythria's. She's a deep thinker, and I really want that to show in her character (She wasn't nicknamed as Sage for nothing duh). Pero syempre, I always remind myself to keep things balanced: narration + scenes + dialogues. And honestly? Parang nag-iimprove na din ako sa part na 'yon iiih. 
          
          Anyway! I'll still update anytime I can. The new semester already started and I'm trying my best to juggle writing with schoolworks para makapag-update at least once a week. We're only a few chapters away from finishing Book 1 (AAAHH), and I can't wait to talk about all of it with you in the Book 1's final note hehe. 
          
          Yun lang! Salamuch, and stay tuned for more updates <333

Hi, follow back:>

          Halooooo everyone!
          Chapter 43 of AWT Book 1 is out now! <333
          
          Like I mentioned in my previous announcements, even though I already finalized all the scenes and their designated chapter numbers, there are still times when things don’t go exactly as planned (T---T)
          
          For example—Chapter 43 (yep, the one I just updated!) was originally supposed to have two scenes. BUT I ended up splitting it into two separate chapters because cramming them together totally messed with the pacing, plus, the second scene is super action-heavy and I didn’t want it to feel rushed huhu.
          
          According to my notes, we’ve got 17 chapters left. Yey! I’m trying my best to finish it by the end of October hehe (maybe not kasi tamad ako eh), kakatapos lang din ng finals namin so may free sched na ako now bago mags-start ang new sem namin.
          
          Also before anything else, please take care of yourselves okie? I know life can be shtty sometimes, but you, my dearest fellow human, are tougher than you think. 
          
          You've survived too much and that means there's still something in you that wants to live, even if it feels exhausted. Let that part of u to reach out for help, okie? 
          
          You’re like a tough cookie — soft inside, but still holding your shape no matter how many times life tries to crumble you (and yas, maybe with a lion’s heart too, rawr ). You got this. 
          
          You’re doing great, humans. I promise. <333

          Hi!
          
          As a Psychology student, I felt offended after seeing a post that tried to diagnose an author’s “disorder” based on the personalities of their fictional characters.
          To everyone reading this, here’s a friendly reminder: fictional characters ≠ writer’s diagnosis.
          
          Writers don’t mirror their disorders in their stories.
          
          They mirror humanity—raw, flawed, and real. 
          
          This is exactly why we shouldn’t normalize the stigma and misconceptions about the field of Psychology. Not every complex behavior or personality trait automatically means a “disorder.” Please—let’s learn to be more sensitive, accurately informed, and willing to understand beyond surface-level assumptions. 
          
          Writing about certain emotions or flaws doesn’t make someone “mentally unstable.” It makes them human. It makes them aware. That’s the essence of storytelling.
          
          Please, stop labeling what you don’t fully understand. Psychology isn’t guesswork. It’s empathy, research, and depth.
          
          RESPECT THE FIELD.

          Hey guys! 
          If you’ve read any of my stories, you might’ve noticed a few inconsistencies in my writing — like grammar, word usage, or even my em-dashes suddenly deciding to change lengths for no reason (Nagloloko kasi si Wattpad minsan eh huhu).
          
          Just a heads up: my books don’t go through any proofreading process! Everything’s self-edited, straight from my drafts on Google Docs bago ko siya ma-copy paste dito huhu (T—T).
          
          Also, confession time: I’m honestly not that bothered by technicalities when I write HAHAHA. I focus more on the story itself — the plot, the flow, the emotions, the message. The “heart” of it all. So if you notice small writing quirks, just know I’m giving more attention to storytelling kaysa sa strict writing mechanics (Yeh.)
          
          Still, I always try my best to make the scenes clear and easy to follow! I just hope you guys enjoy the flow and understand where I’m coming from hehe.
          
          Additional reminder nalang din pala, I noticed how I am consistently updating every week hihi. I love writing stories so much I usually make time for it even with all my academic responsibilities piling up and sometimes, mas inuuna ko pa mag-sulat kaysa magreview/gumawa ng assignment eh HAHAHAHA. That being said, expect updates every week for AWT Bk 1!  (No specific day, no specific no. of chapters to be updated—I write whenever I can) Based on my notes, we only have 19 chapters left (It may changed somehow kasi may times din na I end up dividing the scenes into chapters huhu) bago matapos yung book 1! (Yey!) 
          
          Anyway, please take care out there — with all the news lately about earthquakes and flu viruses, stay safe and take care of yourselves, okay? Amping mo tanan! <333

⑈:47
          
          In case you're wondering, yes, the Ch18 & Ch19 of AWT Bk 1 that just recently updated are one of the new scenes/chapters that has been inserted to the plot! I may not have published the recent new chapter specifically on the release schedule (Which is either on Wed, Sun & Sat) but because I had so many things to do as of in the moment---midterms are coming  up so fast so I had to prioritize school for now (ugh) but that doesn't mean I'll put the book updates on hiatus. I'll update as much as I can, anytime!  
          
          Hehe enjoy the updates! Thanksss <333
