Heya, folks! Once again, I apologise for the radio silence while I recover and get better. Thank you all for your patience and well-wishes at this time. 
          	
          	• Let's begin with a minor health update. I am slowly getting better with each passing day. On Tuesday, due to struggling to breathe which was affecting my sleep, I was prescribed some steroids for my nose to use for ten days. They've been working their magic and building the muscles up, which is slowly helping me to breathe more clearly. I'm now on the mend, but it's going to be a long road before I feel like myself again. 
          	
          	• For anyone wondering, I have been well-hydrated and rested the last bunch of days. I've mostly been monitored by my parents and puppy (who hasn't left my side). My boyfriend has also been an absolute star for taking over some of the more physically taxing chores, like walking said puppy. Most of my time has been spent either sleeping or watching something on the telly for a little bit. 
          	
          	• I will slowly but surely become more online the more I get better. Today, I'm starting off slow and easy - reading and replying to my notifications. That's my one and only goal for today. Nice and easy to get me back into things. 
          	
          	That's all. I hope you all are well and staying as safe as possible this flu season. Remember to keep rocking no matter where you are in the world. Until the next announcement.

@katiegoesmew Thank you! They really are. I don't think I would have gotten through most of this week without him by my side. ♥️

Hi, darling, I've got a quick question for you regarding your Madalaed-centric Post-Battle of Hogwarts one-shot request. <3
          
          Would you like me to write it as a multi-POV one-shot--rotating character perspectives like I write in all of my fanfics--OR, do you want me to solely write it in Ms. Maddie's POV? <33
          
          As always, take as much time as you need to decide & reply. There's no rush & I'll gladly look forward to your answer whenever it comes. <333
          
          ~Love you 3000, Lizzie

SkullantacySmith

@SunsetMercer I'm glad it's helping to spark some exploration. I can't wait to read it when you're done with it. Take as much time as you need. 
            
            Good luck with your goal! I hope you make loads of writing progress on it, but no pressure if it isn't complete for when you want. I'm happy waiting patiently for it. ♥️

@SkullantacySmith Sweet, and no, I don't mind at all. It'll give me a chance to explore various POVs in the Post-SWW {Second Wizarding War} setting, which will be particularly interesting, since it'll still be a WHILE before we reach that era in MitM! <333
            
            Thank you for the feedback, sweetheart. My ultimate goal for the day is to finish & post that for you & your fellow "Toil & Trouble" readers' enjoyment! <3333
            
            ~Love, in every lifetime & universe, Lizzie Lupin

@SunsetMercer Hiya! That's not a problem. 
            
            Ooh, now you mention it, the rotating point of view would be brilliant actually if you don't mind? ♥️

Heya, folks! A quick health and activeness update. 
          
          I'm still no better. I went to the doctor's earlier today and now have an ear infection. I've been given some antibiotics, so hopefully they'll do the trick. The flu symptoms have lessened, but it's taken a toll on my body. It'll probably take a while to recover and return to my usual healthy self, or thereabouts. 
          
          I am having little bouts of feeling better and up to doing things. To be honest, the paracetamol is helping with that otherwise I would sleep every day away. As the week goes on and I (hopefully) continue getting better, I'll start to catch up on my notifications and maybe little bits of writing here and there. 
          
          Thank you to anyone and everyone who has been reaching out to wish me well or join me in commiserating this flu on any of my socials, including here on my message board. I have briefly seen them, but will reply to you when I feel better to do so. You are all wonderful. 
          
          Take care of yourselves while I am away from my keyboard for what may be a little longer than normal. ♥️

SkullantacySmith

@SunsetMercer That's all good to know! A good night's rest is the best way to begin the day. Can't wait to read what you have in store. ♥️♥️♥️

            Ooh, I can't wait! Looking forward to what you come up with. Yes, rest is very important. ♥️

Heya, folks!
          
          I know I've been absent this week. It looks like I will be absent for a little bit longer too. These last few days I've come down with my third consecutive cold. 
          
          To be fair, at the nursery I'm working at, the parents keep bringing in their poor children while they're really ill, running a temperature and wiping snots on every surface before we can grab tissues to wipe their noses. I'm not the only staff member unwell because of this and the kids are dropping like flies because of it circulating. The joys of working in a private nursery! 
          
          Anyway, I won't be online until I recover a bit more. I'll get to all my notifications when I feel up to it. Right now, I really don't. 
          
          I hope all of you guys are doing well. Now, I'm going to let this cold wipe me out.

Heya, folks! Here is an update of what I am planning to do in December, as I've had a few ideas while writing tonight. 
          
          • Firstly, I was beginning the rewrite on what will be chapter 10 of In Every Lifetime, You earlier this evening. The update for this might come a little later than everyone expected because I have a new idea how to rewrite the chapters that I want to try out over December. This also coincides with another idea I had. 
          
          • My main stories, both In Every Lifetime, You and The Mourninghelm Mysteries, will be going on hiatus until sometime in the new year. I have fallen behind my update goals due to one personal issue offline or another, so I want to take some time over December and the new year to catch up a little and get ahead. 
          
          • This doesn't mean I won't be writing over December or not working on any of my projects. Next week, I will be doing a final edit of chapter 8 of The Mourninghelm Mysteries which will updated on my alternative profile, editing and formatting the rest of my Fanfic Bootcamp entries in My Little Fanfiction Corner, and editing/revising the current chapters of In Every Lifetime, You for continuity errors and anything else that I think could be improved. 
          
          • Springtime Latte will still have updates every Saturday for the rest of this year and well into next year! 
          
          • There will be a new project coming on New Years Day 2026. Here's a hint: it's to do with my favourite subject ever that I studied for five years, music. What could this project possibly be? Guesses are welcome! 
          
          Once again, thank you all for your patience and your support on my projects. Keep rocking and stay safe, folks!

Heya, folks! I am officially back online after my day away, and with it comes a bunch of things to update you guys on. 
          
          • My boyfriend and I had a lovely day out for our anniversary. We really enjoyed Wicked: For Good, and we went for a meal at a buffet place we really like. It was so much fun, and we even fit some shopping in too. Thank you to anyone who wished us a lovely day. We really enjoyed having the day together!  
          
          • I have a project coming up, which is scheduled to be uploaded on the first of January next year, on my birthday, as a special present for you guys. All the parts are now ready to go live for then, but I'll post some teasers about it through December. 
          
          • Finally, chapter 8 of The Mourninghelm Mysteries has the extra parts I wanted to add written into it. I will do some quick editing of this early next week to make sure it is somewhat polished before I update the current version on my alternative profile. 
          
          • Tomorrow, I am out for the morning and a little bit of the afternoon to spend some time with my parents, but after that, I have some more writing goals I hope to accomplish. I'll keep you guys updated! 
          
          Thank you all for your support! Remember to keep rocking and to stay safe!

SkullantacySmith

@SunsetMercer Thank you! It's nice to be back online, though the day off was appreciated. 
            
            Yep, I can't wait for you all to see what I'm coming up with!!! :D 
            
            Aww, thank you! I hope you'll enjoy them as much as I've enjoyed writing them! ♥️

Heya, folks! A quick update before I sign off completely for the night. 
          
          • I won't be online tomorrow (Thursday 27th November). It is mine and my boyfriend's anniversary. Tomorrow we will have been together nine years. We'll be celebrating by going to the metro centre (basically, a big shopping centre near to where I live) to see Wicked: For Good and then we're going to look around the shops and have a meal together. It's going to be a fun day!
          
          • I'll be back online on Friday and I hope to make progress on a chunk of my writing goals then. Which ones, we'll see, but I'll keep you guys updated like usual. If there are any updates, messages, etc. I'll get to them then. 
          
          I hope you all have a wonderful remainder of your day/afternoon/night. If I don't say it before, to all my American followers and friends, happy Thanksgiving for tomorrow. In the meantime, keep rocking and stay safe! ♥️

            No problem! Just thought I'd give a reminder since I mentioned it in passing last week. 
            
            Yes, it's good to be back! ♥️♥️♥️

Heya, folks! A mini-update about this week's writing goals that I hope to fulfill since I have a bit more time on my hands compared to last week. 
          
          • Today, I'm working on a few things. I won't reveal what they are right now, but I'll update you guys when they're done. 
          
          • I hope to edit chapter 8 of The Mourninghelm Mysteries and get chapters 9 and 10 finalised so I can schedule their release dates. 
          
          • I also hope to finish chapter 10 of In Every Lifetime, You, so that can also be scheduled to be updated. 
          
          I think that's everything. I still have some community work to do and the odd book club read, but otherwise I should be able to get these goals done this week. 
          
          Thank you all for your support! Keep rocking and stay safe! ♥️

Heya, folks! I apologise for the radio silence this week. Work has been hectic and I've been working weird hours to normal, which is often the way of private nurseries in the UK. Anyway, here's a bit of an update on what's happening. 
          
          • Today, I will be focusing on any community work I still need to do and getting through my notifications on Wattpad. There is a lot I haven't kept up with this week, so getting through that is my priority. 
          
          • Any updates to writing projects will be on hold until next week hopefully. I should have more time than I have had this week. Though, next Thursday is my nine year anniversary of being with my other half, so I won't be online then as we'll be spending the day together. 
          
          • Finally, I just wanted to let you guys know that I have passed my driving theory test. I am officially one step closer to driving myself places. I think I am going to get booked in for my practical with the help of my instructor during next week's practical lesson as I'm getting closer to being test level, so there'll be that to look forward to at some point next year. 
          
          That's everything I think you guys need to know for now. If there's anything else you guys need to know, I'll keep you updated. 
          
          Thank you all for your support, like usual. Keep rocking and stay safe! ♥️
