@stupidityatpeak Hello! Hi!
First of all, thank you so much for checking on me. It means a lot. I totally understand how exams take over life sometimes. I am also a student, so trust me, I get the stress and the focus it demands.
I was really trying my best to balance studies and writing for everyone, especially because the story is at such an important point. I kept posting with the hope that maybe engagement would grow, since I truly believe in the storyline. The low response lately felt quite discouraging, so I decided to step back a little.
Writing is something very close to my heart. It is my peace and my passion. Right now, I want to give attention to my studies and take care of myself rather than force the story and spoil its essence. I haven’t fully planned anything yet. When my exams are done or when my inner writer suddenly wakes up, I may continue again. If responses to the last chapters improve, that will definitely push me forward, too.
Maybe I will return after 4-5 months once my exams settle down. Till then, the story is on hold. I just want to come back with full motivation because the peak of the story deserves love and excitement.
Also, a little note: sorry I could not reply earlier message, but I did include the part you requested in the story. I hope you liked it.
Thank you again for your sweet message and for always supporting my writing. Your words truly gave me a big smile today.
