          Good morning all!
          
          Last semester was...something, all right. Over break I was going to work on my story, but I had to give my hand a rest since it started hurting. Probably due to my Major dealing with Art and my Minor dealing with writing, so I pretty much non-stop used it over the semester.
          
          Please remember to properly stretch your hands! Do not be like me!
          
          This semester I will be taking mostly writing classes, including one dealing solely with Fiction. I’ve debated with myself and decided to wait on updating the book until after this class. This is because the class is— of course— extremely heavy with writing, and I will learn more about the process and techniques that make up good storytelling. I want to just focus right now, that way when I come back and continue the book it can be with confidence and quality.
          
          Surprise updates are not off the table. Sometimes I get the impulsive urge to write a couple chapters. With this in mind I will not be putting the book on an official Hiatus.
          
          I hope that things in your life are going okay. I know online schooling and work is extremely stressful, as is time management. If you feel upset at something you failed to do, just remember: Your failures do not define you or your worth. That is decided by you and you alone.
          
          Thank you very much! :)

          Hello everybody :)
          
          Sorry I’ve been dark for a while. It’s been pretty hectic with essays as of late, and I recently got sick. Luckily it wasn’t COVID, though I’m still not sure exactly what it was.
          
          So I’ve been trying to recover my strength while continuing to be swamped with schoolwork and my job. I will be honest, I am not sure when the next chapter will be out. Just know that I am continuing to think of the story and what comes next.
          
          I was not very happy with the last chapter, so I may go back and edit it before I release a new chapter. I will keep everyone updated!
          
          Stay safe and thank you for your patience ❤️

          It is as I have feared- one of my professors is particularly...um, difficult.  To say the least.
          
          I’ve been pretty swamped with work, but I’m planning to finish most/all of my work today.  Tomorrow is a holiday when classes aren’t scheduled, so I’m going to spend the entire day writing!  Expect an update soon!
          
          As always, thank you ❤️

          Sorry readers, no update last week.  Moving is one thing, cleaning is another.  It took an entire week.  I am very tired, haha.
          
          My University classes start today as well.  Like I mentioned before, I will try to post two updates a month.  Please be aware though: my degree is geared toward Art, and like how time and research is done to write papers, I need time to research and complete my projects.  I don’t want to get stressed out and decide to put the book on a cold hiatus, or worse, scrap it- I doubt the latter will happen (seriously).
          
          Some good news, now!  I am taking a writing class and an editing class this semester, so my hopefully my writing will improve!  I’ll work hard to not disappoint you guys and myself.
          
          I’ll still try to get at least one update out this month.
          
          Thank you ❤️

          Update might be next week, this depends on how my move goes over the next couple of days.  The University semester is also starting up soon, and though I will be spending a large amount of time at home, I still need to be on campus to use certain hardware and software that I have NO ability to afford at the moment, haha.  This means that updates have the potential to get slower- even so, I am still aiming for twice a month since more interest has been shown.
          
          Thank you so much ❤️

          New update tomorrow!  I just need to go through and proofread at least one more time, then maybe I'll be satisfied- at least as satisfied as I can be with the draft as it is now.
          
          Look forward to a brief touch on the magic system in the world!

          Hello readers!  I hope you are having a wonderful time, wherever and whenever you are.
          
          The next chapter for for my story will be out sometime within the next two weeks, probably next week unless I meet some major hang ups.  Sorry about the delays, but I’m still doing a lot of research and rule making for the world it takes place in.
          
          Most of this stuff won’t actually be mentioned in the story itself, but it is always important to clearly understand the dynamics of the reality you create as a writer.  This helps to gauge realistic reactions from both people and nature, and there is less time spent on mulling over what should happen or how it should happen.
          
          One of the aspects of my research: accents and dialects!
          
          This is more focused on dialogue than the world and its rules, but I thought it’d be fun to mention.  Giving characters regional speaking patterns helps to mold them into an individual.  Of course, letting their personality lend itself to how they speak and what they say also does this- but I’d like to go a little more in-depth this time around.
          
          Thank you so much for your feedback! ❤️
