Happy Wednesday from the East side of the world!
          
          I haven't updated A Heart for the Clockwork Curse since last week. Sorry, I was busy with plotting my ONC. It's a shiny new story, so I was excited about it and put all my focus on it. The first chapter will be out soon. <3
          
          Then I'll get back to updating AHFTCC. 
          
          Just wanted to drop that short update.
          
          Happy Reading!

@HeideHunt Yes I did! No, this year as well, I came up with three stories prepared although, I believe one of them will go overboard with 40K+ words so I won't enter it for the final round.

@poeticstardust_ That's great. I remember you had multiple stories last year. Are you focusing on just 1 this time?

poeticstardust_

@HeideHunt Yes, I am! This time I came up with a story which I am sure I will be able to complete within 40k words while balancing my schedule. I don't want to drop out like last year!

Aleja nodded without further inquiry. Despite being shielded by the Order all her life, she understood how people from the market worked. Generosity was a debt around here. And if one didn’t pay their dues, they would find themselves at the bottom of the ocean, with sharks tearing flesh off their bones.

          Chapter 4 of A Heart for the Clockwork Curse is out! I'm trying to get more than a chapter out every week since I already have most of the story done, but line editing is really crazy. Making me feel less confident about my writing because no matter how many times I go through a chapter, I feel like it's not good enough. Sigh...
          
          But I'm pushing it out anyway! 
          
          Happy Reading!

Aleja despised the scent of paper. She had nothing against it, but every time she came into the assembly chamber, the whiff of parchment chained her to a stack of photographs of men to choose from.
          
          Aleja's POV is expanded. I had a hard time developing her personality because she was so one-dimensional in the novella. So, I hope her voice is much better in this version.
          
          Chapter 3 is out! Happy Reading!

I've been having this glitch for months now. The one where my account removes people from my following list. Last night, a support helped to figure out what is happening, and turns out it's related to clicking on notifications. If anyone else is experiencing this same issue, here is what is happening.
          
          - Anyone you follow adds your story to their reading list.
          - You receive a notification of the activity.
          - You click on the notification to redirect to the RL.
          - Your account will automatically remove this person from your following list.
          
          This is already escalated for some tech support, and I'm still waiting on the fix. But for now, it's best to not click on the notification (if your account has the issue). If you want to view the RL, just navigate to the person's profile and go to the RL.
          
          I hope this helps.
          
          @QuinceArchFortes, I recall you having the same issue. You were on point about those who add stories to RL. But the issue was clicking on the notif. It seems not everyone is affected tho. I did a screen recording and submitted it to support, so you might want to do the same to include your account for the fix.
          
          @Elibees, I believe you may be experiencing the same bug. So, I thought you'd like to check this and submit a ticket too. 
          
          Shout out to @Senonurtjahjo from the support team for helping to debug this last night.
          
          Thanks!

Heyo, @Heide! I don't know if that was an intentional update, but was your work “A Book Nerd's Guide to Falling in Love” supposed to be only up to chapter 3 now? I am just curious, I was confused because last time I checked and read that, it was a complete 3-part book (I think around 20 chapters?) not only 6 pages. Hoping to had this clarified, thank you! ^-^

She searched her memory for tales about demons, told to her as a child. In most stories, they came from other worlds, forged by vicious flames or violent waters. In all, they emerged as cunning tricksters, bringing nothing but destruction and suffering.
          
          I accidentally published chapter 2!!! Welp, if it's out, then it's out. Bonus for the readers!
