Hi! I have an announcement: 
          
          
          The Night Library Il is officially out of hiatus! Yay!
           
          After taking August to brainstorm more fun stuff to beef up the story, I finally have something I can be somewhat happy with.
           
          I will still have to do some major edits as I upload new chapters, so the schedule will be one chapter per week... At least until I get past the chapters that need slight fixing. 
          
          I hope you enjoy the story!
          
           
          And as always, thank you so much for reading!

Hi!
          
          Small update from my corner of our wonderful orange library: I’ve officially joined the Wattpad Ambassador team! You’ll see a pretty new badge hanging out next to my name now. 
          
          I’m really excited to step into this new role in a world I’ve been a part of for so long. I’m looking forward to helping out and keeping the stacks in order. If you need anything or just want to say hi, I’m here! 
          

So many announcements lately- sorry!  A lot is happening as I go back and forth on my works. 
          
          For any of you who read VII, I have some news! I'm finally finishing it! A year later, not too bad, right?
          
          I've published two chapters, and two remain: one final chapter and an epilogue. It really is ending, finally. I can be free from the guilt that I imposed on myself.
          
          I'm actually proud of myself for not abandoning it. It's not the best thing I've written, but it was and always will be my first child.
          Everyone knows first children are always a little kooky (I would know, I am one myself).
          
          Thank you to whoever decides to check out the story. Belated apologies to those of you who have been waiting for it for this long. I hope you enjoy it!
          
          (PS: should I also enter this into the Wattys? Decisions, decisions...)

Chapter 17 of The Night Library II- Unraveling is now up, and with it I bring news: this story is going on a short hiatus. 
          
          The reason is simple: I am not happy with how empty it feels. I'm currently working on editing the chapters I've already written, but the main reason it's on hiatus is that it is missing a major plot arc that I somehow just... forgot? 
          
          Anyway, this won't take very long. I hope to have everything ready to start publishing again by September at the latest. I technically have the ending sequence all written and ready, but something was missing between the point we stopped at in chapter 17 and the events that bring about the end of the story. 
          
          The new parts will be very Lucien-heavy; the focus will be on his lore and his current trials and tribulations, and where Isla comes in to make it all better. 
          It will probably be pretty dramatic. 
          
          As always, thank you to everyone who's been part of this journey, and to everyone who will join at some point. 
          
          I look forward to sharing the continued story of Isla and Lucien and their battles with themselves and the evil entities around them.

The Wattys are open!
          Which means I will finally take the leap and enter some of my stories into the running. 
          
          Am I scared? Yes.
          Will that stop me? No.
          
          So, the plan is to enter The Night Library I- Unfolding into the Wattys since it can be read as a standalone. I keep going back and forth on attempting to edit it, but I think I'll leave it as it is and hope for the best.
          
          Now, something I am less certain about: expanding A Soul Etched in Flame into a novel and entering that, too. 
          Thoughts? 
          
          Honestly, that was the plan since I entered it into the ONC. I have no real reason to change that plan other than cowardice, really... and maybe also laziness since it needs quite a bit of work and I'm still in the TNL II trenches.
          
          Anyway, consider this a Wattys entry notification. TNL I will definitely be there. ASEiF is still a bit shy, but she will probably enter too. Maybe she needs a bit of encouragement.
