          I hope you're doing well. May Allah grant you complete ease, peace, guidance, and forgiveness.
          
          Will you check out my story? I've only published one small part and I don't know if and when I'll move forward with it, but I'd love to see what you think of it!
          
          I can't share the link here for some reason , but it's called "Reality On Hold".
          
          I only have two published stories, so it'll be easy to find In Sha Allah.

I really wanted to update before Eid, but subhanAllah :') 
          
          Anyhow! How was your fast today? May Allah accept from all of us. And I pray your Eid is a wonderful blessed one ❤️  

Updated Chapter 41!

Guys, okay, most of you second me on the Trilogy idea, and I have news: I found a name for the third book! But I had to change the second in the process to fit the whole theme. 
          
          Book 1: Scarred
          Book 2: Scourged
          Book 3: Weathered
          
          If you want to know how I made sense of it, read further.
          
          *slight SPOILERS for books 1 and 2, if you haven't read up to chapter 40*
          
          
          Book 1: Scarred
          The Meaning: Born from old trauma.
          
          The Arc: We enter the story with characters who are already damaged. Simma has her history, Ilyas has his past burdens, and the world itself is recovering from "The Great Collapse." They carry the marks of a previous life. This book is about surviving with the wounds you already have.
          
          Book 2: Scourged
          The Meaning: The active crucible.
          
          The Arc: This is the brutal centre of the trilogy. The characters are thrown into the teeth of "The Reaction." It’s the Scavengers, the chips, the mining camp, the whips, the fighting pits, and the systematic attempt by the regime to strip away their humanity. They are actively being beaten down, tested by fire and violence.
          
          Book 3: Weathered
          The Meaning: The ultimate survival.
          
          The Arc: To be "weathered" means you have faced the absolute worst storms the world can throw at you, and while you might be worn down, smoothed at the edges, and permanently changed, you are still standing. The rock doesn't break because of the weather; instead, it endures and comes out different. I feel like it implies a quiet triumph. They survived the scourge, and now they are part of the landscape and cannot be removed.
          
          They cut us (Scarred), they tried to break us (Scourged), but we outlasted them (Weathered).

Salam! I am writing chapter 41 and 42... Brace for heartache you guys :') I am totally not evil. 

Assalamu Alaikum! 
          
          Guys I have a delimma. 
          
          Scarred was originally supposed to be a stand-alone. Like a 50-something or so story. But then I started writing it and it fleshed out into something big and I decided to make it a Duology.
          
          And the second book Unburned was supposed to be 50 chapters or so... Then I started writing it and( yes you guessed it) it is now 40 chapters and we are just nearing the ending of this arc, with a full second arc in the book.
          
          So now it might be at an 80 chapters count of so. And I am wondering, should I just make it a trilogy? (the upcoming arc could actually be a book of its own with how intricate it's going to be) Or should I stick to this format of a Duology?
          
          So far I've decided the books into parts.
          
          Scarred:
          
          PART ONE: The start of the book, ends with Simma spiraling out of control and grief.
          
          PART Two: starts with Ilyas' pov and ends with them reaching the Sewers.
          
          PART three: The current part, which is theier arc with the scavengers and Oz and this whole camp thing.
          
          PART four: will be after they are free... And a lot more will happen with twists and turns and if they'll ever find the sanctuary or face the Reaction.
          
          
          So part Three has been 40 chapters so far, and perhaps another 15 chapters to it's conclusion.
          
          
          And part Four could potentially be a book of its own. With its inciting incident, its mid point, climax and conclusion (and finally the epilogue and conclusion to the world of Scarred) 
          
          
          This will all still remain in one published book on wattpad. I am asking this as in the grand theme of things.  As when I do publish this book one day Inshalla ♥️
          
          
          I am conflicted. And in the case that we doooo have a third book, it'll be the Ghuraba' Trilogy, and I'll have to figure out a name for the third book. 

Assalamualaikum wa Rahmatullah how are you sister?
