Me, not having uploaded in 2 months: Oh my god why chapter is taking forever to finish 
          	
          	Also me, finishing a chapter 6 times the length of a normal one: ...oh, that's why

My idea is simple terms is a world where Mystics: magic users and Humans: magicless are divided due to a war that happened centuries ago. 
          Mystics ruling and protecting the continent with their magic, and Humans serving them in safety as they lived lives their station allowed. 
          It was a peace, a balance, but there was always this division, this oppression, as humans longed for lives robbed from them by crimes of their ancestors. 
          However, there was a bridge between the humans and the mystics: Evergreen Academy 
          A magic school for humans, for humans who graduate this school are deemed Mystics by society and a freed magic in their blood.
          Getting into Evergreen is no easy feat, each year tutors are sent from the academy, for each tutor to pick seven apprentices who they believe can pass the trials, the entrance exams. 
          And only those who are invited by the tutors can even participate in the entrance exams. 
          Most humans do all they can to be picked by a tutor, working effortless so that when they turn fifteen they can be whisked off to Evergreen Academy and live a life of magic and wonder. 
          Dia was not one of those people, they were the eldest of their siblings, and were set to inherit their families' land, farm, house, everything. 
          They felt obligated to take care of that land, to take care of their family, they didn't want to be whisked off into the world of Mystics, they wanted to stay in their village, their home. 
          Yet their parents wanted a better life for Dia, so Dia did their best, to not disappoint their parents while at the same time not holding a shard of doubt if what their future would be, no one in their village had even be chosen as an apprentice in twenty-five years and they failed the trials... so there was no chance Dia would ever be one.
          Yet... a visiting tutor witnessed an act of kindness from Dia, and that sealed their fate...

@Creepy-Face Firstly, sorry for not responding in a while. University life got busy. Secondly, I think you should write your own book on this concept, cuz it has a really cool premise. I know it's something I would read

This is a bit random, but I have an idea for a magic academy and I wanted to share it with you and see what you think.

            There she found a little nestling that had fallen from the tree, an innocemt baby bird.
            It wasn't injured, so Dia made the decision to climb up the tree and put it back in its nest. 
            Once she had delievered the baby bird, she went back into town as the compeitions for the tutors were starting soon, and for her parents, she'd do her very best. 
            Unknownbenowst to her a tutor had been watching, they got bored of the festivities and went out into the woods, and just happened to witness Dia saving the baby bird. 
            With that single action, Dia had changed her fate, and the tutor had found their apprentice.
            Once the compeitions were done, it was revealed that two of the three tutors that came to their village would be picking an apprentice for the trials and hopefully Evergreen Academy.
            The first was the son of the failed apprentice from twenty-five years ago, the other was Dia.
            This shocked and excited the town, even the youth who weren't chosen had hope.
            After all more tutors may come to their village-they don't host a festival everytime tutors come to their village, only for the first batch, the rest of the tutors who may come still get treated incredibly well and instead just watch the recording of the events from magic crystals-and with two already picked from their village, they had hope that they may be too. 
            Dia's parents are thrilled for her, while Dia is distraught, but hiding it, she did her best for her parents because that was their wish, and she'd continue to do her best for them, or guilt would consume her heart.

            The tutor that choses you becomes your mentor both for the trials and the academy if you pass the trials. 
            Once a tutor invites you, you will start traveling with them immediately as they continue searching for their other six apprentices or they start heading back to the city where the trials will take place. 
            This is so they can train the apprentices on the way.
            When tutors come by the villages, towns and cities will often hold festivals in their honor. 
            With the fifteen year old youths being the stars of the show, showing off their talents in various showcases the town sets up, and doing interviews with the tutors before being lined up with the tutors annoucing if any earned the right to be their apprentice. 
            Most humans spend their lives training in hopes of being picked by a tutor, Dia, placeholder name, was not one of them. 
            Dia was the eldest of too many siblings, she felt responsibility to care for her siblings, her family, she didn't want to leave them. Though it was more than just obligation, she was content with her life in the town, with her friends, with the future she saw for herself. She didn't desire anything more, but her parents did. They wanted all their childern to have the best possible chance at a better life, and Dia was always an obedient daughter. 
            So she did her best like they wanted at school, but she always did it with this certainty that she would not be chosen.
            After all, it was twenty-five years ago someone was chosen from their small village, and they didn't even past the trials. (Which they were still incredibly bitter about and often put pressure on their sons to do what they could not) 
            So Dia was confidant she wouldn't be selected, and so when the trio of tutors arrived she stepped back.
            Dia was never the most fond of festivals, she often found loud noises to be overwhelming, and preferred the quiet.
            So she went out into the woods, to get a break from the chaos that was the festival.

hey, thanks for motivating/reminding me to upload. Still don't have a social media started up yet. Again, not sure when to start. Plus, my midyear exams start in a week, so I need to focus on those anyway. Probably means I won't be able to upload much in June

@ChiletaWrites Again, I'm sorry for making you wait. Things got pretty chaotic on my side of the world, but I won't bore you with the details. I can't promise that I won't go into another hiatus, but if I continue to find little bursts of motivation to write and complete chapters more often, like I did today, then I might finally get back into the swing of writing like how I used to when I was writing book 1 and some of my other stories. 
          
          To answer your question, no I dont yet

this message may be offensive 
So...this year's been off to a busy start. 
          
          I'll admit, my upload schedule in 2024 was absolutely abysmal (largely due to burnout and lack of motivation, which is something a lot of my readers likely already know). So I set a goal for myself that, for 3 out of the 4 stories I'm currently working on right now, I'll be uploading monthly, while Elementals will be uploaded either once every week or once every 2 weeks. Or whenever I feel like it.
          
          However... January's been off to a really busy start, with me starting my last year of highschool and pouring more into my studies than ever to get into a good university. 
          
          And I haven't uploaded a single chapter. At all. 
          
          To my Beyond Worlds, Springlocked and White Wolf readers, I've already gotten started on this month's chapters for each of them and should have them all out by early Feb. All I need is a little time to get my shit together. And for my Elementals readers, you'll have to be a little more patient. This newest chapter is really wrecking my ass right now, so I'm not sure when exactly I'll be able to upload it. Hopefully soon, then I can get started on the next one as soon as I do. 
          
          Anyway, I'm sorry for not uploading this month. As I said, I've been busy and couldn't find the time or energy. But I promise, I'll get those chapters to you all ASAP. Thanks for your patience.

Good question. 
          
          You see, the Elementals series is meant to have 10 books by the end of its run. Maybe 11 if I feel like it. When I made the first covers for Elementals all I had was the 1 cover image that I just edited and added the title of the book on, and I figured that doing that for al 10 books would feel way too repetitive, despite the changes I made to each cover depending on the plot of the book. So I decided to redo them. 
          
          That and book 2's cover just felt off and I wanted it to feature the main villain more than it did Alex. 
          
          (There's also something that happens later that warrants a darker cover, but I'm not gonna spoil it for ya)
          
          If the cover is off-putting, then I'm sorry. But for now, it's here to stay.

It has been a hot minute since I announced anything, and with school over for the term, I feel I should update everyone. If you're not interested then feel free to skip.
          
          Story updates have been slow. Writer's block has been a pain these past couple of months and I feel even more sluggish with the chapters Ive been uploading lately. I do still wanna write tho, and with all this free time I now suddenly have, don't be too surprised when I update all my books at once in the coming week. 
          
          My academics improved since last term and that's given me a confidence boost and a whole lot of motivation to just...do stuff. Honestly, it feels great, and I hope that I can keep this energy up with my final exams right around the corner. 
          
          My mental health is getting better. Slowly, but surely, I've been feeling less drained emotionally and, lately, more satisfied with the way that I'm feeling or the things I accomplished during the day. I've still got a long way to go, but it's improving. 
          
          Not much else has really been going on in my life; some improvements, some areas that need improvement, and the occasional fluctuations in motivation that make my upload schedule an absolute mess. That's one thing that probably won't change in the near future, but I'm nothing if not consistent in my inconsistency, I suppose.
          
          That was just a little update for anyone wondering. Stay safe, happy and healthy as you can, and keep reading.
