          	Hey everyone!! :)))
          	
          	I just wanted to make a little announcement because… school is starting again. 😭
          	
          	Yep, as I mentioned in my previous message, 12th grade—my last year of high school. Somehow we made it here. 🥹
          	
          	I remember starting my first year of high school and it was at the same time where I started writing and now look at where I am.
          	
          	Now, with the new law in my country about phones not being allowed to be used at school, I already know that I’m going to be a lot less active than I usually am. And honestly, even when I get home, I know I’m going to have a hard time finding the energy and space to sit down and write.
          	
          	But!! I’m still going to try my best. ❤️
          	
          	At the same time, I think this might actually be something good for me. I think I need this little break—not necessarily from writing completely, but from feeling like I constantly have to write, update, meet expectations, and keep up with deadlines.
          	
          	Lately, I’ve actually been rereading some of my older books, and I’ve realized something about my writing.
          	
          	I feel like I’ve been missing something.
          	
          	Not necessarily in the story itself, but in the way I write my scenes.
          	
          	I’ve noticed that I don't always focus enough on the little details—the way a character moves, their expressions, their body language, what they're feeling in the moment, the atmosphere around them. All those little things that can make a scene feel alive.
          	
          	Sometimes my writing feels very quick and dialogue-heavy, with one thing happening after another, without giving myself enough time to actually visualize the scene and let the emotions come through the words.
          	
          	And I think I know why.

          Hello everyone! 
          
          It’s me again! As promised, I wanted to stop by and give you another little update about how I’ve been doing and what’s been going on in my life.
          
          I know I haven’t been the most consistent with my updates lately, and I’m aware that I said I’d try to check in more often. But honestly, these past few weeks have been a little difficult for me in some ways. I’ve had my ups and downs, and there are still things I’m working through.
          
          I’m taking things one day at a time and, most importantly, trying to focus on my well-being. I’m learning to give myself the time I need instead of constantly feeling like I have to be productive or keep up with everything.
          
          And honestly? I’ve been having a really good summer. 
          
          I’ve been able to enjoy my time without feeling that constant pressure I sometimes put on myself. I’ve been smiling more, laughing more, spending time with the people I love, making memories, and simply enjoying life.
          
          Even when things are hard, I’m learning that it’s still possible to have good days. I can have difficult moments and still laugh. I can struggle with something and still enjoy the little things. And I think that’s something I’ve really needed to learn.
          
          So, while everything isn’t perfect, I can genuinely say that I’m doing okay. I’m taking care of myself, working through things at my own pace, and trying to appreciate this time in my life.
          
          And since I promised to keep you updated whenever I could… here I am!

            So please be patient with me. If an update takes longer than expected, know that it doesn’t mean I’ve forgotten about my stories or about you. Sometimes, life simply needs to come first.
            
            For now, though, I’m going to enjoy the rest of my summer, keep taking care of myself, keep smiling, keep laughing, and keep making memories. 
            
            And whenever I can, I’ll continue coming here to share little updates with you—whether it’s about my writing, my life, or simply how I’m doing.
            
            Thank you, as always, for being so patient and understanding with me. Your support means more than you probably realize.
            
            I’m incredibly grateful to have you here, and I hope you’re all having a beautiful summer, taking care of yourselves, and enjoying the little things too.
            
            See you in the next update! ❤️

(Part 2)
            
            I also wanted to talk a little bit about what’s coming after my summer break.
            
            As some of you may know, I’m going into my last year of high school, which is honestly crazy to think about. It’s going to be an important and probably very busy year for me, and I already know that balancing school, my personal life, my well-being, and writing is going to be challenging.
            
            Because of that, I want to be honest with you now: my book updates probably won’t be as consistent as I would like them to be.
            
            There might be times when I update regularly, and there might also be times when I disappear for a little while because I need to focus on school or simply take some time for myself.
            
            And I know that might be disappointing sometimes, but I hope you’ll understand that I would much rather take the pressure off myself and focus on my studies than force myself to write just because I feel like I have to update.
            
            My books aren’t going anywhere. I’m not going anywhere. And most importantly, I’m not going to stop writing.
            
            Writing is something I genuinely love, and I still have so many stories, ideas, characters, and plans that I want to share with you. I just want to be able to write them because I want to, not because I’m stressing myself out trying to meet a schedule.

Hello everyone! 
          
          I wanted to stop by and give you all a little update because it's been a few weeks and I promised to give you updates here and there.
          
          First of all, I hope you're all doing well and taking care of yourselves. I also want to thank you again for all the kindness, patience, and support you've continued to show me. It truly means the world.
          
          I'm happy to say that I'm doing  better than I was a few months ago. I've been spending a lot of quality time with my family, enjoying my vacation, and focusing on myself. Taking a step back is something I really need, and I'm grateful I’m giving myself the time to recharge.
          
          One thing that surprised me is that, despite being on vacation, I found myself feeling inspired to write again. I never expected it, but I ended up finishing my Vernon book in less than three weeks (in which I published the last chapter today)! It reminded me how much I genuinely love writing when I allow myself to do it at my own pace instead of forcing it.
          
          As exciting as that is, I also want to be honest with all of you. Over the next month, life is going to get much busier for me, so my updates probably won't be as consistent. I'll do my best to write and update whenever I can, but I don't want to promise a schedule that I might not be able to keep.
          
          I'd rather surprise you with an update than disappoint you by missing one.
          
          Thank you for always being so understanding and for supporting not only my stories but also me as a person. Whether you've been here since my very first book or you've only recently found my page, I'm incredibly grateful that you're here.
          
          I hope you're all having an amazing summer (or winter, depending on where you are!), making wonderful memories, and remembering to take care of yourselves too.
          
          Thank you for staying with me on this journey. I can't wait to share everything I have planned with you, one chapter at a time.

Part 1
          
          Hello everyone,
          
          It's been about a month since I announced that I would be stepping back from writing due to my health and school responsibilities. 
          
          First of all, I want to thank every single one of you for your patience, understanding, and support during this time. It truly means more than you know.
          
          I wanted to come on here and give you all an honest update about where I currently stand.
          
          Thankfully, I am doing a little better than I was before, and now that my exams are finished, I have a bit more time and energy to dedicate to writing. However, I am still focusing on myself, my health, and finding a balance that works for me. Because of that, I want to be completely transparent with all of you: I will be taking my time with both my ongoing stories and my upcoming projects.
          
          This summer is going to be quite busy for me, and I don't want to create false expectations by promising constant updates that I may not be able to deliver. You all deserve honesty, and I'd rather move at a pace that is healthy and sustainable than push myself into endless sleepless nights trying to meet deadlines. 
          
          Writing is something I love, and I want to continue loving it without feeling overwhelmed by pressure.
          
          I also wanted to be honest about something personal. Alongside everything else, my family and I are currently going through an incredibly difficult time. A close family member is very unwell, and we have been told that they are not expected to recover. As you can imagine, this has been emotionally overwhelming for all of us, and I am doing my best to be present for my family while also taking care of myself. I don't share this to ask for sympathy, but simply to help you understand why writing may not always be my first priority over the coming weeks or months.

Also—I meant to write  ‘Beneath The Silence ‘and not the ‘Shadows’

Part 2
            
            I also wanted to clarify something regarding my new Seventeen series. While I recently introduced the series, my current plan is for it to continue in 2027 (hopefully), after I have finished working on my upcoming books and completed some of my ongoing projects.
            
            Right now, my main priority is finishing Missing Ink, which has been incredibly important to me. And since June 29th marks the debut of Vernon and The8's unit, V8, I wanted to celebrate by updating the first chapters of Accidentally Yours, Beneath The Shadows, and, of course, Missing Ink.
            
            Most importantly, I want to leave you all with a small message.
            
            Please take care of yourselves.
            
            Your health, both physical and mental, matters more than any deadline, grade, job, project, or expectation. Never be afraid to take a step back when you need to. Never feel ashamed of asking for help. Life can become overwhelming, and sometimes the strongest thing you can do is acknowledge that you need support.
            
            This summer has already started changing my perspective on many things, and for that, I am grateful. I hope that by the end of it, I will be in an even better place as I prepare for my final high school year and the exams that come with it.
            
            To all my readers, whether you comment on every chapter or quietly read from the sidelines, I appreciate you equally. I hope you're doing well, and if you're not, I hope you remember that it's okay to slow down, breathe, and give yourself the same kindness that you give to others. Don't be afraid to step back and enjoy life for a while. I understand more than you may think, and I see you.
            
            Thank you for staying with me on this journey. Your support, patience, and understanding mean the world to me, and I look forward to continuing these stories together. One chapter at a time.

Hey everyone…
          
          I honestly didn’t think I’d be writing this on a random Thursday evening, but I think it’s time I’m honest with both myself and all of you.
          
          For the past few months, I haven’t really been doing okay. I’ve slowly fallen back into the same place I was in a few years ago, and it’s been one of the worst feelings to experience again. With exams getting closer and everything piling up, I haven’t felt like myself at all lately.
          
          I’ve been losing my spark, my motivation, and even my passion for things I normally love, including writing. 
          
          Writing used to be my escape, the place that made everything feel lighter, but recently it’s started to feel mentally and physically exhausting to constantly keep up and update. I kept trying to push through it and convince myself I was okay, but the truth is I’m not.
          
          So for now, I’m going to be less active than usual and take a step back for a bit. I really need to focus on myself, heal properly, and try to find that happiness and excitement for life again because right now, I feel very far from it.
          
          Please don’t worry too much about me, and please know this wasn’t an easy thing to admit. I just don’t want to keep pretending everything is fine when it isn’t.
          
          Thank you for being patient with me, for supporting my stories, and for staying here even during quieter moments. It truly means more than I can explain. 
          
          I hope one day I’ll come back feeling like myself again and when I do, I want it to be genuine.
          
          Take care of yourselves too.
