Goodbye May! Hello June!
          Funny thing about June is it's the anniversary of everything, the year I started my work, the year I finally started writing ILL, the year I would start watching video game announcements, all those kinds of things. But having written this story, what makes me happy is the excitement and support from my friends and family around the world and to be honest, even if you guys are busy with so much stuff in your life, I wouldn't really mind it. Nevertheless, whoever wants to read my favourite story, I wanna ask: DO YOU WANT TO READ IT?
          
          I know I said so much about Hannah being a famous children novelist with demons and secrets she's hiding from the people she loves but when writing her, I wanted to differentiate her from my previous protagonists as in my previous stories, they're mostly like us, normal human beings going through the worst of times and her being a famous children novelist made me want to experiment with that type and as time went on, I fell in love with her, not because of fame and money, it's because of who she is, how relatable she is and how she remains humble. Sadly it's a story about a woman who has everything in her life but now must face losing everything she loves which makes the story suspenseful and emotional throughout, even if you fail to realise it. 
          Hannah, Irene, Jamie, Lyla and Kelly are inspired by myself, my sister and the people I love throughout my life but when it comes to the virus and the suspense of feeling those symptoms, even if you fail to realise it, inspired by my morbid curiosity and research.
          
          The idea to release the story in half on June 13 and 15 was so that one, people can get to the story quickly and read it on their own pace and two, to celebrate Father's Day to all Fathers around the world.
          
          I can't wait for ILL to be online on June 13 and the thing is, I'm not done with this journey after all. Whoever finishes it, go to me cause I have something planned for the future of ILL.

What a Spring Bank Holiday this week is going to have but for America, it's Memorial Day where we pay our respects to the soldiers who have given our lives to protect their country for the American people while we Brits get to enjoy a Spring Bank Holiday filled with cold winds, dark clouds and rain, I have to admit that sounds like my kind of weather.
          
          Since today is Memorial Day and the start of a one week holiday, I think I kept this character long enough, one I should really introduce to my readers who are starting to get interested in this type of story. 
          Sad part is, I should have done it on Valentines Day.
          
          Hannah is not only a humble children novelist and a sister, she is also a woman filled with regrets, secrets and demons. The one regret that's going to be revealed is when she chose to focus more on her work over her personal life. The same goes for her romantic relationships.
          
          But in this story, she reunites with her old love and a part of them still love each other. The name of her lover is Jamie.
          
          Jamie is also a video game developer alongside Irene and it was Irene who introduced him to Hannah and from there, Jamie and Hannah started dating but Hannah's work and popularity drifted them apart so by the time the story begins, they have already broken up. But when you love someone so much, you would do anything for them. 
          That is Jamie as he would be involved in what Hannah is going through right now but what scares him the most is that the two of them drifted apart before, with the mysterious virus Hannah caught, their chance at rekindling their romance is tested as Jamie fears, they'll be drifted apart again, this time forever! Along with the secrets and demons Hannah has been hiding from the people she loves.
          
          ILL is a psychological drama thriller with body horror elements. For how I'm releasing it, it will be split in half. The first 22 Chapters will be online on June 13, the final 21 Chapters will be online on June 15.
          As such, ILL releases on June 13

It's almost there, starting today there's this week and three more weeks left till Friday the 13th, thinking of the date feels like a coincidence cause when I thought of June 13, I didn't realise until later that this date is actually Friday the 13th. In fact, the reason why I chose this release date is because it's close to Father's Day, Hannah and Irene were raised by their father, only him, their mother, that's something that will be revealed sometime in the story, and their father took the hard way and that way was what allowed the sisters to become the women they are today while also providing them love, comfort and attention, anything a daughter and a son wants from their parents.
          
          ILL is a slow burn psychological drama thriller with body horror elements and...
          I think I already told you a summary of the story but while it goes through the main plot, it will also go through two other plot lines.
          In total, there are three plot lines and in the end, it all comes together to bring the story full circle. The first plot line is basically the main story, the second plot line goes into the past during Hannah's book tour where she meets Lyla who is an important character in the story and one you need to pay attention too as it could help explain how Hannah could have potentially caught the virus. Lastly the final plot line goes into Irene in order to see the impact Hannah's illness is causing to her and everyone around but Irene the most as the sisters are very close and this illness could bring those two apart forever.
          
          When going through these plot lines, my best advice is to read carefully and pay attention as it would not only answer how Hannah got the virus, it can also allow you to learn more about Hannah herself.
          Like I said before, the plot twists were written as predictable and unpredictable. There are times you may catch it, there are times you might miss it. It's all how you read it.
          
          ILL releases on June 13 2025.

What is a virus? A virus is an infectious agent that infects every living organism around our planet, these include plants, animals, bacteria and humans. 
          
          Every virus is different, for starters, there was the Great Plague that killed and affected hundreds, thousands, millions in the 17th Century. Then there was the flu which became a pandemic in certain years, mostly held in the 20th Century until medicine evolved, allowing everyone to provide relief. But then comes HIV/AIDS, a sexually transmitted disease that can only be transferred through sexual contact between two human beings. And then comes the modern times in 2020 where the latest virus, COVID started affecting everyone around the world.
          Along with those viruses, there are many more such as TB (Tuberculosis) or Malaria. 
          
          The thing is, viruses always find a way to evolve, to make us humans look stupid. But like how us as humans are born, there are potential viruses that can be created, the thing is, we just don't know it.
          
          The same goes for contact, as in this story, the virus Hannah goes through, it's mysterious and the thing is, just like every other virus, the symptoms slowly begin to form and we wouldn't know it until it's too late. For anyone who wants to read this story, you may say make it more suspenseful, the answer, no because it's not like that in real life, the suspense in there is how the character is feeling. 
          I call it hidden suspense where let's say in one chapter, you came across this part of the story but you didn't feel anything, you would just think it was typical, nothing scary at all but in fact that's when the suspense starts to happen and despite the slow burn drama that goes on, the suspense starts to increase, just like real life, when you're beginning to suffer early symptoms of covid or cancer and that is slowly starts to develop.
          
          ILL is fictional but it was written on the mindset to represent and replicate real life.
          The story releases on June 13 2025, aka Friday the 13th

June 13 is almost there, what's funny is that the release date I'm planning to release ILL on is basically Friday the 13th, now I'm surprised! Writing ILL is one of the best stories I ever wrote. I'm so happy how people responded to my last character reveal last week but today, I just feel like I want to tell a true story.
          
          A long time ago, I went on an almost four month trip around New York, one of the best things I've done in the summer but when I came back to my home, I started feeling ill. At first it was just colds like hay fever or the common cold but as time went on, it started getting bad when I would go through fever and terrible headaches. I don't quite remember this event but it felt like it lasted for weeks or more than a month, took me some time to recover. But it was there the mysterious virus came to my head and as time went on, I felt more and more interested exploring this type of concept.
          
          Hannah wasn't originally gonna be the protagonist, she was supposed to be the lead character of a short story prequel that would lead into the events of ILL, but when I started writing it, I realised a short story format wouldn't work, it would lead to the character and the story undeveloped and rushed. I love Hannah so much I eventually promoted her into the protagonist for the main story. This was a decision I would never regret as it made me love all the characters.
          By the time I made it to the final chapter, most of me didn't want this story to end, I really didn't, I felt there was so much more to explore in this world and most of all this mysterious virus, unlike my past stories where once it's done, I move on.
          
          June 13 is more closer than ever but if you decide to read it, let me know cause I don't think you would regret. If you're interested in learning about the process in writing this story, let me know :).
          
          Otherwise, I advise you take time reading it cause it's going to be a scary, heartbreaking, suspenseful, emotional ride. Speedrunning isn't advised

On February, I revealed the release date of ILL and gave you a small glimpse of what to expect in the story. From feedback, some people were expecting something exciting but what can I say, can't spoil the exciting stuff. Sorry!
          On March, I revealed two main characters joining aside Hannah, a little girl in Dubai called Lyla and small details regarding Hannah.
          On April, I revealed Hannah's sister, Irene.
          Since April 9, I did promise I'll provide even more updates throughout May and today is the beginning as we near the release date.
          
          From HOME to MASTERMIND, every lead character has a best friend that's always there for them, to guide them on the right path or to bring new, exciting memories. 
          Or they're there just to annoy them! Just like Irene
          
          Well Irene isn't that bad, I think Hannah's friend is much worse!
          
          I'm joking, I love writing that character and man, just like how Hannah and Irene are feeling towards her, she's still a pain in the ass due to her unhealthy antics but what the sisters love about her is that she's always there whenever they need her.
          
          That girl is Kelly Angel.
          
          Hannah's best friend and editor who was the person that gave Hannah the success she achieved. She's an outgoing wild cat who needs those girls to put a leash on her before she loses all her money, loses her job or probably end up in jail. But what Hannah loves about Kelly is that Kelly is the one friend who can make her laugh, smile and distract her from anything that's bothering them. 
          
          The same goes with what the story is now as Kelly chooses to be there for her but as the story goes on...
          Hannah has her secrets, her demons and her regrets. Kelly may know some of them but not completely all of them, or maybe I'm wrong.
          
          ILL is a psychological drama thriller filled with body horror moments as Hannah slowly becomes affected by the mysterious virus, and shocking twists, predictable and unpredictable, that can either make you sympathise or hate her.
          
          ILL releases on June 13 2025

What's the best part of having a brother or a sister...
          So many things to say regarding this, they always keep you up, maybe they annoy you or maybe, they are the reasons why you become who you are, they're the ones who motivate you, uplift you and most of all, be there for you, making sure you're safe and protected.
          And maybe ensure you're dead 
          
          That's something I could say regarding my relationship with my sister, the terrible advantage of having a sister who is way younger than me, young enough to be my daughter if not for teen parents.
          
          Having a sister or brother is always a special moment but in ILL, this relationship serves as the vital point of this entire story. 
          
          Alright that's enough of me mentioning how much I adore my sister cause I'm so drowsy today and I feel like since Hannah's been the centre of attention and introduced a little girl who I chose to reveal after realising she's basically the main character in basically more than 50% of the story, I think I should reveal why I'm talking about sister, brother stuff.
          
          Hannah might have caught an illness but this story is also focusing on another character as a way for me to explore how Hannah's loved ones are affected over our lead going through a mysterious virus that's slowly affecting her. 
          That character is Hannah's sister and her name is Irene Grayson.
          
          Irene is a video game developer and Hannah's younger sister, by three years of age. The two sisters are very close but with Hannah's illness, their relationship is put to the test as Irene doesn't know what to do, she wants her sister to feel better, doing everything to take care of her but at some point, she might need to face the possibility of losing her.
          
          Irene to me is a very special character for me with her own subplot but that's not the only focus she's getting as I have plans for her, for the future of this trilogy.
          Wait did I say trilogy!
          
          ILL releases on June 13 2025, more updates on the story will be revealed next month, stay tuned!

In October 2023, a young little girl was talented in so many activities, karate, gymnastics, ballet and many more because I can't keep count of how many activities she did. Then one day, this big brother of hers was in the midst of writing his third story and seeing him write, she decided to write her own story. That story was called Little Girl, a story about a young little girl whose parents disappeared and the only way to get them back, was to do some good deeds as she learns her parents disappeared because of her behaviour and attitude. 
          
          She wanted to write the story so much, she wrote it on her notebook. Despite her mother not liking it due to feeling it would be a negative influence on many children, she kept on writing it and now, she was able to write it and thus, she decided to spread it out to the world.
          
          That author's name was A...
          
          Oh wait a minute, she's not the author, I thought she was, why the hell was I given this script to write in this message, why am I just realising this just now, stupid idiots. 
          In fact Hannah was basically a cheat, a fraud, she stole this story idea and turned it into her own. What a cheat . No wonder she's hiding secrets from her fans.
          
          But maybe she isn't . Am I right or wrong, goddamn I don't know what's real or not .
          
          April Fools!
          
          Man I love messing around, good thing I decided to promote this story on February, otherwise, no one would know who Hannah is. Wait a second, I didn't write a lot of descriptions on Hannah.
          
          ILL is a psychological drama thriller, releasing online on Wattpad on June 13 2025 with a set of 8 chapters being released every three days. 
          And also Little Girl is actually a REAL short story written by me and my sister, if anyone's interested, let me know.
          
          I'm even thinking of releasing the prologue for free, why, maybe I'm just too excited  or writing a sequel, maybe two sequels I don't know, I hate being creative , it's hurting my head 

I want to introduce you to someone, someone very important to the story:
          
          '“Did you know that Hannah Austin is inside the hospital right now?” Lyla becomes surprised, she loves reading her stories.
          “Oh, she’s here?”
          “Yeah.” Lyla smiles. Finding it cute.
          “That’s good.” Before letting her head down. Making the nurse realise she’s feeling
          down. Not in a happy mood as always.
          “Lyla, you can’t always be like this.” She says.
          Lyla doesn’t say anything, she hasn’t been happy ever since she’s been inside the
          hospital for almost three weeks, she should have been out of the hospital two weeks ago until she coughed blood out of her mouth and then passed out. “When will I go home?” The nurse doesn’t know how to answer it. A difficult question to say to a little girl.
          “We don’t know. What you’re going through, it’s hard to determined what it is. The blood test we did on you to check what you might be having, it’s normal, not even anything that might allow us to determine the type of illness.” The nurse did a blood test after she passed out for a couple of days, not being able to wake up.
          Lyla doesn’t speak, she remains silent, just keeping her head down and the nurse...
          She doesn’t know what to say to her next, she could only remain silent, knowing what she’s about to say next isn’t really a good one.
          The thermometer picks up, taking it away from her armpits, her temperature is normal, only 34.2 degrees. She’s not going through a fever but the headache and cough remains.
          “Look at that, you’re not completely sick. Anyways, if you don’t want to go downstairs to the hospital theatre to see Hannah, then you can come downstairs, eat. You don’t always have to stay in your hospital bed. Otherwise, if you want to remain there, I’ll just get my colleagues to deliver the meal to you.” No response from Lyla, the nurse raises herself off the bed.'
          
          Meet Lyla, a little girl who is going through a mysterious virus but that's all I can reveal for now.
          
          ILL will be online on June 13 2025 :)

The moment we were born, a journey begins and there are many journeys we all go through. Whether it's a new job, to find new love, to reconcile with the people you were formerly estranged too, to find redemption, or to find what your purpose is. We all have a purpose in this world, we just don't know it until we live out different journeys, always seeing what we like, what we don't like and how these journeys impact us. 
          
          We always go through journeys throughout our lives...
          But sometimes that journey may end up being short.
          
          Not everyone is lucky to live out their journeys in figuring out their purpose in this world and who they are. But for people who realise or don't realise that their lives are about to be cut short, the only thing they could do is look back to the past and see what you could do with the rest of your life.
          
          This is Hannah right now, people have felt she has already found her purpose in life, she has everyone who loves her, family and friends, she has it all. But not everything is happy...
          Hannah has done things she has regret, memories she refused to reveal, secrets she chooses to hide from her sister, her father, her friends and her fans.
          
          There's nothing she could do to fix those mistakes.
          And now there's a mysterious virus that wants to destroy her.
          
          What she doesn't know is, she wouldn't realise it until it's too late.
          
          If you were going through something and there's no cure, what would you do? I'll be honest, I would have spent the remainders of my life with the people I love because they are the reasons why I choose to keep living. My advice today and for the rest of the week, be there for them, take care of them in their time of need and even if some people don't want help, it's okay because they don't deserve you, the ones who are there for you are the ones who deserve you :).
          
          ILL goes online on June 13 2025 and before release, think about everything you have done to get yourself there and most of all, take care of yourselves ❤️
