Paula

Hi, it's Paula passing by to say hello! This past year's been full of surprises, some of which kept me from writing full-time, but that's a story for later! :) 
          
          Just saying Great Expectations is going on vacations again, because it needs a great deal of rewriting, at least in its first part. It's Great expectations about a troublesome project at this point, but it's still a worthwhile challenge that's taking me on a whole writing adventure!
          
          And a rollercoaster in so many ways that I can't explain yet without spoiling you! Quick update, I'm well into the story's end, by now, which means that Great Exp amounts to 54 chapters and counting. 
          
          Next comes editing and rewriting, so I can safely bet it won't be up for another few months, until I've reworked it properly to connect loose ends together. 
          
          Till' next time!
          
          Writerly yours,

When Phantom Bullet's best elements who happen to be frenemies partner on a mission together, things are meant to go south. Will Phantom Bullet's reputation suffer from their disagreements? 
          
          Meet the loli and her talking cat from Phantom Bullet's side in this new chapter!

To be fair, it's been quite a rough month during which I had a lot on my mind and didn't feel like writing a lot. Things are looking much better now and I can't wait to write again!  
          
          For my comeback, I'm introducing you to the whole backstory behind the creation of Tales. Besides, I've added an indicative table of contents to guide you through this wild ride of a story's' progression. Happy reading! On another note, Great Exp updates are coming very soon! Stay tuned for that too!

Massive update incoming! 
          
          From today on, Great expectations about a troublesome number and other stories is back online  as a precaution measure due to unfortunate circumstances. Long story short, better safe than sorry, as the saying goes.
          
          First, I'll republish existing chapters and then I'll regularly update new ones from 28 to 40 that were pending publication up until now. There's a lot of them just because I've had a blast continuing the story up to Chapter 41 and beyond.
          
          Last call for departure to Mars again, it's time for me to resume on updating Great Exp!

Tales’ second chapter is out! For Hireki, the question what would you do if you had five minutes left to live is taking a drastic turn. On the verge of death, how will he get out of trouble?

After a long, very long hiatus, I finally present you with the continuation and conclusion of When the birds stopped chirping, which I have been promising you for a long time!
          
          While the resistance in the depths of Setforth Woods is organizing itself as best it can in the face of allegiances and animosities, Lost Island is becoming a literal battlefield. As for Fallen Wings, he finally decides to rise from the shadows under his true identity, ready to take on the Party once and for all. What will be the outcome of the merciless battle between the Rebellion, helped from afar by Fallen Wings, and the Party for the future of Heavensgate?

          On the menu of this outcome packed with upheavals, challenging relationships, chance reunions, a suicide mission seemingly doomed to failure, and bittersweet summer mornings await you in the final act of the Summer of  Blazing Hearts, which will forever mark the memory of the protagonists, and that of the generations to come after them! Stay until the end, the main story will be followed by an epilogue that is equally emotional!
          
          A few months ago when I introduced Calling All Angels, I told you to prepare yourself emotionally for what was to come. Actually, I was referring to that part of the story that beautifully concludes the Summer of Blazing Hearts! 
          To say that writing it was an emotional storm is no exaggeration, as I put my heart and soul into it from beginning to end to put an end to six and a half years of joy and pain in beauty! And also, I must admit, ending up on the fate of Fallen Wings was no small feat! To give you an idea, when the fallen king of heavens throws himself headlong into battle, at what price in the name of freedom will Heavensgate find peace and democracy?
          
          Stay safe and take care I wish you a good reading!

In regards to this very special day for me, which marked the end point of When the birds stopped chirping's first draft one year ago today, I will be sharing with you some news about my cherished birds.
          
          After a long, very long writing break, without any further delay (says a patented procrastinator!) I'll publish soon When the birds stopped chirping's last chapters that have been sitting on my computer for a very, very long time! I've been long ovedue in sharing them with you and I do apologise for that.
          
          You may have noticed in my New Year's message that an epub version was available on my ebook reader. My dear protagonists travelled to a publisher on January 29th, 2020 and I'm waiting to hear back about them! So, for the past year, I have been mentally preparing myself for the plot twists in my aspiring author's career that may come in 2021! When I mentioned exciting developements, that's what I was talking about!
          
          What's more, I must inform that my protagonists' overseas adventures don't end there, since some of my new projects for 2021 and years to come are directly related to them.
          
          See you for the continuation and conclusion of When the birds stopped chirping that's been long overdue, so I can talk about what's coming next without spoiling you!

To kick off 2021, let me introduce to you my new visual identity made with my amateur graphic design skills and my trusty almost ten-year old DSLR camera! New year, new me in the making; this is the perfect time for dusting off my creativity! To read more about my creative process going into this, you may continue reading below!
          
          I'll preface this message by saying a lot happened behind the scenes to kick off 2021 with a fresh start, learning from my successful trials and mistakes; every bad experience is a lesson that is adding to the challenge overall, which is to step up my game! My new visuals aren't as refined as I wanted them to be, but it only means there is room for learning and trying more! 
          
          Since the last time I posted a chapter of When the birds stopped chirping a few months back, I've finally gotten back into the gist of creating! I'm going to explore new ways of making my content more authentic to reflect the person I am and the things that I like. It will be a lot of experimenting at first, but I'm up for the challenge!
          
          My chosen color scheme will be based around bright shades that I feel characterise me the most: purple that is my brand's predominant colour, beige and blue that represent to me the act of writing, red-pink that is one of my favourite colours.
          
          For more backstory, when I resumed on my publication schedule last year, I had to choose between publishing When the birds stopped chirping's latest chapters on a regular basis, work on my other stories and designing my brand. At the risk of putting too much pressure on myself, I chose to focus more on getting you new chapters of When the birds stopped chirping as soon as possible, to be honest. Now that I'm in the process of changing myself, I have to rethink my publishing strategy in many aspects, and there is no better time than this new year's beginning to start anew! 
          
          See you later for new, exciting, developments, thank you for reading!

Happy New Year 2021 everyone!
          
          After a lot of reflection and questioning, in the midst of a new chapter of my life in the making, I'm back in duty to give you some news and share with you what's coming next for this new year that starts now! 
          
          I hope that it won't be simply the matter of my good resolutions and that I will continue to publish more regularly than I have done in the last few months! Of course, I'm not coming back empty-handed! Upcoming, the end of When the birds stopped chirping, the continuation of Great Expectations and much more to come in January! I'll tell you all about it in due time, I have plenty to tell you!
          
          Best wishes to all of you for a happy, creative, and certainly better New Year than the last one! See you soon for new developments, take care of yourselves and your loved ones!

Within Setforth Woods, peaceful days feel like a respite before the storm. While Thorn finds refuge by Senku's side, the old man's knowledge unveils a whole new part of Heavensgate's history. How long will this serenity last? 
          
          On the side of hostilities, the resistance is reorganising in Chapter 42. Summer Of Love And Betrayal:
