Hi everyone,
I just wanted to drop in with a little life update.
I’ve been meaning to update The Game of Shadows and also upload a small introduction for Blade of the Falling Dawn, but the past few weeks have been… a lot. After New Year’s Eve, I was completely wrapped up in editing my first book, and just when I finally finished and sat down, ready to write the next chapter of TGS—life decided to intervene.
I’m currently dealing with a slight fever and a shoulder sprain that needs a few days of proper rest. Nothing serious, just inconvenient and very bad timing.
Writing hasn’t been easy physically, so I’m taking a short pause instead of pushing through and doing it halfway.
I wanted to let you know that the stories aren’t forgotten. They’re very much alive in my head, and I’m genuinely excited to get back to them as soon as I’m able to write comfortably again.
Thank You and Take Care Everyone,
Dusk

Hi everyone,
It’s been a while since I last checked in. I’ve been spending a lot of time lately in the world of Still, With You (heavy editing, and now it’s finally done!). As a writer, this story—with all its quiet moments, slow-burn tension, and the unspoken space between Aria and Reyhaan—means more to me than I can really express.
I want to be honest for a moment. Lately, I’ve felt a little like I’m writing into a void. I see the views growing, and that truly means so much—but sometimes I can’t help wondering what you’re feeling as you read. Do you connect with Aria’s imposter syndrome? Does Reyhaan’s journey resonate with you? Are there moments that stayed with you longer than you expected?
I never want to pressure anyone or intrude on your reading space, but if you’ve been following this story and have even a small thought to share—something you liked, something that made you pause, or something you’re curious about—I would really love to hear it. Your words, more than you might realize, help me keep going.
Thank you for being here with me in this story, even in the quiet.

Hey there! I'm a writer, and it would mean a lot to me if you gave my book a read.

As we step into 2026, I just want to pause for a moment and say thank you.
Thank you for being here, for the love, the patience, and the quiet support that mean more than you know.
And to the friends I’ve made here @aa_ushi16 @QueenAscaria @_Jane_D_O_E @JazstStories_ @MoonlightWritxs @TheCrimsonHood15 and @TMWhibzzy @ALARTSUJI i thank you for turning a writing app into a place that feels like home.
I wish each of you a healthy, happy, and genuinely wonderful year ahead—one that’s kinder than the year we’re leaving behind.
To my Wattpad family: thank you for sticking around, even when I’ve been a little quiet. I’m sorry for being inactive and for not catching up on your stories yet—but I promise I will. Your words matter to me, and I’m looking forward to diving back in soon.
I also promise this: I’ll be bringing you more stories this year—stories I hope you’ll feel, question, and maybe even get lost in for a while.
Here’s to new beginnings, better days, and a 2026 that treats us all a little more gently than the last one did.
Happy New Year. ✨

I found your story Still, with You to be beautifully crafted and detailed and I love your wattpad profile. I was wondering if you would like to vote for my fantasy book Naima sometime.

@MadisonCiabattari, Hey there! Thank you for your support—it truly means the world to me! ❤️❤️ I’ve also added your book to my private reading list and can’t wait to dive into it ASAP [currently have too many other books in line, might take a little while] Thanks again!

It’s the holiday season, and as this year comes to a close, I’ve been thinking about how much of it felt like a re-year for me—
Re-access. Re-start. Re-set. Re-consider.
This year taught me something important: it’s okay to fall behind.
It’s okay to pause.
It’s okay to not know what you’re doing or how you’re supposed to do it.
If you were breathing and trying to survive, then you were doing just enough.
And this isn’t just my story. It’s yours too.
You’ve had your own ups and downs, your own unfinished plans, abandoned resolutions, moments where everything felt delayed or out of reach.
So let me say this to you, clearly and gently: you did well.
Even if things fell apart.
Even if you lagged behind.
Even if you failed.
You’re still here. You endured. You kept going.
That takes courage—and it deserves recognition.
I’m glad you’re here.
I’m glad you’re reading this.
And I hope the coming year meets you with a little more softness, clarity, and kindness than the last one did.
Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year, everyone! ✨

Updates will follow in 2026, which sounds too far yet too close for some reason, since it's the end of the year and everyone deserves to celebrate and be with their families.

If you missed it, Chapter V: Fractured Pattern is already live.
The investigation stops circling and finally names the shape it’s been avoiding—old cases align, riddles are spoken aloud, and the room grows uncomfortably aware of itself.
What was once background noise becomes a pattern.
What was once silence starts watching back.
And now, we move forward.
The next chapter will be different.
For the first time, the story steps into Elena’s POV.
No promises of clarity.
Only a new angle—and the unsettling feeling that some truths were never meant to be observed this closely.
Catch up if you haven’t.
What comes next changes how the game is seen.
