Checking in to say I'm totally swamped still and it has delayed my plans for my project here on Wattpad. I am certainly not going to be giving up on it but my activity will be less over the next couple of weeks as I'm helping a family member recover from major surgery. I'm sorry the chapter release has been delayed but I'm forced to prioritize. I'm hoping my schedule will settle down in the coming week as I'm very exited to continue working on Umbilical.  Happy reads!

Just a quick update. I've been a bit preoccupied the last few days with a family member that needed some emergency surgery. Will be catching up with everything on Wattpad in the next couple of days. The next  chapter for Umbilical should drop on Wednesday. It's a few days later than I would have liked but I'm hoping it'll be a good one. Happy Reads!

Chapter 5 of Umbilical is now available to read! A big thank you for the votes and all the feedback. It really means a lot. I have also had the privilege to read some of your work as well which has made my Wattpad experience even more enjoyable. Keep writing and happy reads!

Alright, so I know I said that it was coming out on Wednesday but it's been ready for a few days and I got a bit impatient. Chapter 4 is live and available to read! This one's a bit of a cliffhanger but don't worry. I won't leave you hanging for that long. The next chapter should be out this weekend.  :D

Can’t wait to read.

It's been a pretty hectic week but I've finally made some time to catch up on some reading and writing today. Will be doing some edits on Umbilical Chapter 4 and prepping it for release on Wednesday. Stay tuned if you want to find out if Lara's crazy plan can get her any closer to finding Kali. I'm really feeling for her this week as I just celebrated my own baby girl's fourteenth birthday. Shout out to all moms out there and our kids that inspire us to be unstoppable when we need to be.

Chapter 3 of Umbilical is out and I'm totally psyched to share it with you guys! As always, I'm looking forward to your feedback and comments. I really appreciate them. I've tried to split this one into slightly smaller paragraphs. I figured it might be better for this platform. Enjoy and happy reads!

Just doing some editing on Chapter 3 of Umbilical and vibing with some wicked horror music. If you want to listen to my playlist as you read check out the album Tormented 2 by Revolt Production Music. Happy reads!

Hey Maria! Thanks for the follow! I got your message, and honestly I like horror stories as well, and one of these days I gotta start making a few. I would love to bounce a few ideas off of you when I get around to it.

@DarkMatter1234 Honestly, I think it helps with writing too. A good, well rounded story needs diverse elements. Plus you never know what might inspire you next.

@Maria_Alexieva I understand, horror isn’t my specialty but like you I try a little bit of everything.

@DarkMatter1234 Sounds like fun. Horror is my preferred genre for reading and writing but I do enjoy a bit of almost everything else too. I like to try and keep an open mind.
