If I’m currently reading your book, please note that my reading speed will be slowing down significantly over the next month and a half. I’m not giving up on your books or abandoning them, I promise!
          
          If you see your story on my “Currently Reading” list, know that I’m fully committed to finishing it from start to finish. I’ll still pop into your comment sections from time to time sporadically. 
          
          If you’re waiting on new chapters for any of my ongoing novels, the same rule applies. I’ll update when and if I have the time, but otherwise I’ll resume regular posting in the spring next year. 
          
          Thank you so much for understanding ❤️

✨Fantasy Roulette - Just Putting Out Some Feelers✨
          
          Okay, hear me out, Wattpad Fantasy and Sci-Fi friends.
          
          What if we collectively write a fantasy novel together? Like a game of chance, but with plots, characters, and way too much emotional damage.
          
          Here’s the idea:
          >> Each author writes one chapter (1,000–3,000 words) continuing from the last one.
          >> You can introduce up to 1–2 new characters in your chapter.
          >> You can kill only ONE character per chapter, though you don’t have to. 
          >> Everyone gets credited via their Wattpad handle for the chapters they write.
          >> I’ll set up an email so authors can send chapters anonymously via email or Google Docs.
          >> After every five chapters, any authors who want to contribute a second chapter can hop in.
          >> We’d give it a go early next year, depending on interest.
          >> The story will be set in a traditional fantasy setting with a princess, a knight, and a monster (or something like that).
          
          Imagine the chaotic masterpiece we’d end up with! A living, breathing fantasy epic stitched together by every kind of imagination on Wattpad.
          
          Would you join something like this? Just putting out feelers right now.

Those of you who have read "The Fallen of Atlantis (A Short Story)" may have noticed that I’ve changed the title of the Wattpad story to "Short Stories of Atlantis." From time to time, my intention is to upload a 3–4 part short story here as inspiration strikes.
          
          Over the next week, I’ll be posting parts of "The Scholar from Atlantis (A Short Story)" in this book which I drafted last winter. I hope you follow along and enjoy!

I have a question, Wattpad friends and readers. Do you think it’s better to post short stories separately on Wattpad or group them together as an anthology in one Wattpad book/story?
          
          I’ve had one sitting in drafts for a while, originally written for a contest, but never posted it. Now I’m debating whether to upload it as a new chapter under "the Fallen of Atlantis" or give it its own home on Wattpad.
          
          Short story and one-shot writers, how do you usually handle this?

Holy granola! All of Flames was unpublished, and I had to republish it today. If you are getting all those updates, I'm so sorry for flooding your notifications. Jeez.

Miss Ivy’s goals for November have inspired me to write as much of “The Flames of Atlantis” as I can this month before I take a (hopefully short) Wattpad break next month.  So if you see chapters go up at unexpected times, that’s what’s up. 
          
          Having said that, I posted Chapter 30 yesterday. Come follow Ibris as he uncovers what’s inside the hidden labs they found in District 2. And, of course, Ibris forgot an important engagement amidst all the chaos. 
          
          As an aside, the next chapter will be written from Drake’s POV.

✨ Book Shoutout ✨
          
          I wanted to give a big shoutout to Archana Ramakrishna (@ArchuArchie) for her novel Rakshasi. I truly admire the way she conveys human emotion through dialogue while weaving in cultural themes surrounding Brahmin Indian families that both Indian and non-Indian readers can understand and appreciate. The humor, pacing, and plot progression are all wonderfully balanced, making the story enjoyable to read. The FL, Rakshasi, is a firecracker who defies many assumptions of what an Indian woman is expected to be. She’s a breath of fresh air, and her backstory (rooted in generation and childhood trauma) is handled with depth and care, never overdone. Rakshasi is such an engaging novel, and I’m really looking forward to exploring more of Archana’s work.

Hiya Wattpad Fam,
          
          I hope your weekend is going well! I managed to carve out some time to get a bit of writing done this week. Woohoo! I’ve just uploaded two new chapters of "Whispers of Jasmine." In them, we continue the train journey to Jaipur and learn more about Robin’s friends and their connections to London and the wider British colonial world. Come join the adventure!

          I’ve also uploaded a short chapter of "Princess Noor and the Djinn’s Veil." In this one, we learn more about Kael’s background and discover that Felfel is, in fact, a fluffy bear who loves treats and cuddles above all else.

I learned today that Short Story Ambassador's at @shortstory added "The Bound Heart of Prince Zayd" to their Novelettes (10–20K) reading list. I’m very grateful for the recognition. 
          
          This little story first came to me on Christmas Eve last year, and now it has sparked an entire novel titled "Princess Noor and the Djinn’s Veil," which I’m currently working on here on Wattpad. 
          
          Thanks again, Ambassadors @shortstory!

My writing speed is slowing down significantly as the weather gets colder, for reasons that would make for an entirely different novel. Nevertheless, I’ve somehow managed some chapters of “The Flames of Atlantis” and “The Whispers of Jasmine" this weekend. 
          
          Come read about Nora and Esa’s next steps into their budding relationship. Do you think she’s finally going to tell Esa her **big** secret?

          And in Whispers of Jasmine, we meet Holly’s cousins from Calcutta and learn a bit more about the Dumas background in Europe. Then we head off on our trip to Jaipur and meet a few new friends. I promise these chapters won’t let you down. Come for the historical fantasy and stay for the sass!
