Hello my lovelies!
          	
          	I wanted to let you all know that there may not be any updates for HTHAS for the next few months—most likely until May.
          	
          	I’m currently taking classes and also doing an internship, and with both of those combined, I won’t have the time or energy to write consistently right now. I didn’t want to disappear without explaining, so this is just to let you know why things will be quiet on my end.
          	
          	Please understand that because I’ll be busy, I won’t be able to answer update requests. I kindly ask that you don’t ask for updates and instead patiently wait for a message from me announcing that I’m back and ready to continue.
          	
          	Thank you so much for your patience, support, and love for this story—it truly means more than you know. I’ll be back when I can give HTHAS the time and care it deserves. <3
          	
          	With love always,
          	Charry

D/N still sits by the door. Not because he expects anything—just because that’s where he saw you ([Name]) last.

@CharryLatte Reminds me of Odysseus’ dog, Argos,  and Hachiko. Both were loyal dogs who waited for their masters until the very end

Hello, my lovelies!
          
          I owe you all an apology. I’m truly sorry — I know I haven’t been updating my books as I should, and I’m painfully aware that I’ve been slipping further behind on my schedule. The truth is, I haven’t quite been myself lately. A great many things have been happening all at once, and it’s left me in a place I don’t particularly like—with who I am right now, or where I stand.
          
          It hurts to admit this, because over the past year and a half I’ve had the absolute privilege of reaching so many of you—wonderful, supportive, and inspiring people who have given me more warmth and encouragement than I ever imagined possible. You all deserve nothing less than my very best, and right now, I’m afraid I’m not there.
          
          So, for a while, I’ll be taking time to re-glow—to find my footing again, to heal, and to become someone who can create with love and joy once more. I don’t know how long it will take (quite a long while, I imagine), but I promise I’ll return when my light feels a bit brighter.
          
          Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for your patience, kindness, and understanding. Truly, it means the world.
          
          With love always,
          Charlotte

Hi Charry!! I’m currently preparing to participate in NaNoWriMo, and am wondering if u have any writing tips or advice for beginners?

Hi love! Here are my rules to writing HTHAS:
            
            Start with emotion, not exposition - Hook readers with how a character feels before explaining why they feel it
            Make every sentence pull double duty - If it doesn't reveal character and move the plot, cut it
            Dialogue should sound like real people with secrets - People rarely say exactly what they mean— use that
            Let silence speak - Sometimes, what's not said hits harder than a monologue
            Characters need flaws that actually cause problems - Perfect people are boring, and boring doesn't sell
            Pace like a heartbeat— fast, slow, fast - Tension lives in contrast, not constant chaos
            Write the scene like it already happened - Confidence makes your world feel real
            Use metaphors that bleed - Go vivid, personal, and make them hurt if they need to
            Cut every sentence you're keeping just because it sounds pretty - If it doesn't serve the story it's vanity
            End your work, chapters, etc. like you just ripped the rug out from under your readers - Make them need to turn the page, not just want to
