Hello everyone, this is Jona.
I want to share an important update—I will be changing my pen name to Eirwhis. This means I am signing off from the name you know, but I will continue writing in the future. After more than three years of writing under this name, I believe this change is for the better.
Throughout my writing journey, I have been open about my experiences on social media. Unfortunately, I have felt that some people, driven by jealousy, have impacted my creative freedom. Because of this, I have decided to take a step back and write under a new identity.
Lately, I have felt restricted in my writing. Knowing that many people now recognize me—even personally—has affected how freely I express myself. My username is directly connected to my real name, which limits my creative freedom. I want to write without fear of judgment, and I believe adopting a new pen name will help me achieve that.
There were moments when I considered quitting writing altogether, but I realized I could never let it go so easily. I know I just need a break—a chance to rebuild myself as a writer. Changing my pen name is a part of that process.
If anyone asks about my previous name, just tell them I ran away—haha. I am doing this so I can write freely again. It’s difficult when many eyes know who you are, and while some are supportive, others seem to wait for your downfall.
For now, I will be taking a step back to rest and reset. My project 'Spill the Beans' will be on hold for the time being. I may focus on my studies and possibly wait until after graduation before returning, but I cannot say for sure.
I hope that when I come back, my passion for writing will be fully restored. Thank you all for your support, and see you again soon.
This is JY, signing off.
