Hiiiiiiiiiii! Of course I remember you! Don't be silly. I've missed you so much.
I've been missing a lot of people recently, since I'm rarely active here. I currently in the middle of my second pre-boards... My Board exams start on 29th Feb, so... yeah. Life's been pretty hectic. I've barely written last year.
I did take down Stars on Canvas, initially because people couldn't see my updates, and then I decided to stick with that decision because I realised I did not have the time to dedicate myself to the book as I had promised. I miss it, too, honestly. I wanted to re-publish it once my Boards were over, but... well, I've actually made a few changes and developed the plot a bit more. The changes are minor in theory, but make a huge difference to the structure and character arc of my plot, and I think it's a better decision. This also does mean I'll need to do a tonne of more research. So... I've decided to keep my original publishing date of Christmas... So... SoC would be officially republished on 25 Dec, 2026.
I feel a bit cruel making everyone wait two years, considering the insane amount of support I received as a first-time author...
But I believe it'll allow me to deliver better quality writing, as well as a more developed storyline, and since I'll have a significant amount of break before my new school begins, I'm planning to first reorganise my chapters and solidify the changes to the plot, before speed-writing as much as I can within that time. It'll also allow me to fix anything and practice writing again if my skills have gone sloppy, so-
Yes.
I'm doing well, and hoping for my Boards to get over with...
I promise SoC is still very much alive, and I'm very excited to publish it again, especially since there are been new developments in the fields of art and astronomy.
I hope you're doing well, too <3
