          To be honest, I've delayed writing this message for longer than I'd like to admit. Simply because I must admit something: it was noticeable during the last time that I didn't stick to my uploading schedule, and the reason is quite simply that I couldn't. I won't try to make any excuses for myself, I know that I didn't keep my promise when it comes to that and I'm deeply sorry for it. And I feel like I owe you an explanation, so here it is:
          
          Life is an ever-changing thing and to adapt to some changes takes time. New routines must be found as well as a structure and that's what I've been trying to do lately.
          
          I will update the new chapter today and also try to keep the uploading schedule now that I think I found a routine. By now most should know that I am far from lazy and so I hope all of you can trust that I'll try my best to stick to it.
          
          Until later when the new chapter is out and all of you please stay safe and healthy!

•little update•
          
          Hello everyone, I know that I haven't been very active for some time and I just wanted to update you guys a little.
          
          The upcoming chapter will be delayed by some days because I'll get operated on Monday (nothing too bad or dangerous) and following that I will be bedridden some days.
          And as you all should know by now, I plan on using those days to be as productive as possible. 
          
          I sincerely hope that you can understand my reason and thank you for doing so. I also hope that all of you are doing well wherever you are because I know that in the last time a lot of- "cow manure" happened. 
          
          Enjoy your day/morning/night everyone and stay healthy!

•Q&A Part 2•
          
          Q: You said that Edith and Ruth are parts of you, then is Anna one too? Or is she based purely on imagination?
          A: Anastasia's character is very much based on how I used to be when I was younger and there you have your answers. But I'm very much convinced that authors need to rip themselves apart and put those pieces back together different in order to create a main character. Some of those pieces, though, are fictional and only that 
          
          Q: How can you be so creative?
          A: To me creativity comes naturally and I believe that it's something some people just have more of than others. But I don't know if that made sense.
          
          Q: How can you create a motive for yourself?
          A: Well I guess that also just happens naturally, at least unconsciously. Consciously, I only put the pieces together. 
          
          Q: Do you have to have a specific writing space to be able to write?
          A: No, I've written in almost any place one can imagine, though I prefer to sit in bed while writing. 
          
          Q: Do you prefer handwritten or on the laptop?
          A: When it's something for Wattpad then on the laptop. When it's just a thought then on paper, though my handwriting is a giant mess.
          
          Q: Do you first know the entire plot before you start writing?
          A: I'd say I know all the main and necessary events but sometimes I change small details e.g. I change character names in the 3rd draft or so. Generally I'd say I know about 70-80% of the whole entire story before I type a single word.
          
          Q: How do you keep the characters in their personalities so well?
          A: Because I know the whole plot first, I basically make the characters fit into the plot and before I start writing, I excessively take notes on how the characters should be. It's basically like meeting someone new and making up a clear image in your head.

•Q&A Part 1•
          
          Q: Do you already know the results of your exams?
          A: Yes and I passed all of them.
          
          Q: What languages do you speak?
          A: I only speak English, German and EU fluently. (That's why I mostly only use them in my stories)
          
          Q: Who out of your three main characters are you alike the most?
          A: When it comes to the character traits it's probably Edith, when it comes to the style then certainly Ruth and I aspire Anastasia's kindness the most.
          
          Q: After "His wife" ends, will you write more books about the war?
          A: Yes, I do plan on continuing to write historical fiction and some also during WW2. BUT not directly after "His wife" ends, some other story idea really yearns to be brought to live :)
          
          Q: This is an assumption but I really imagine you to have your life perfectly together 
          A: I'm just perfect at making it seem that way but thanks a lot.
          
          Q: What places do you want to visit in the future?
          A: There are a lot; the Falkland islands, Argentina, Ireland, Iceland, Romania, Russia,...
          
          Q: Are you a cat or dog person?
          A: A dog person, 100%. Dogs are simply way more loyal than a cat will ever be, also I don't have good memories when it comes to cats.

•important + q&a•
          
          I'm finally back!
          And for those who asked: yes, my exams went well and I want to thank everyone who wished me luck and obviously all of you for your patience. Because I am done with my exams, the uploads will be regularly again and I hope you are just as excited as I am.
          
          Btw, because of my upcoming birthday on the 30th of June, I thought about doing a Q&A as a special. So if you have any questions that you'd like to ask, please feel free to comment or dm me on either Wattpad or Instagram (@VictoriaConteville).
          
          Stay healthy and have a great day :)

•IMPORTANT•
          Hey, I'm still alive (somewhat at least) and I truly am sorry for not sticking to my upload plan, but I have some *really* important exams coming up and they basically take over my whole life without ever asking. (kinda like what the Soviet Union did with whole Eastern Europe)
          
          And because of that I wouldn't be able to update/sleep/live until the 16th of June 2021. Which means that that day the next chapter will be updated and I know that this seems like a long time and like a lifetime to me. (Seriously I miss updating regularly so much.)
          
          So I hope you can understand me and thank you all for your support. Until the 16th of June 2021 :')
          
          

I have a suggestion for a new story, you don't have to do it but I once heard about Adolf having maids that worked at his mountain retreat.  maybe you could write about a young girl being sent to work as a maid at the mountain retreat if you have the time, maybe?

•quick note•
          The next chapter of "His wife" will either be published tomorrow or Wednesday. I simply am extremely busy at the moment and because I know of the importance of the next chapter, I could not allow myself to let it be any less than perfect. 
          
          (There'll be another important announcement soon which I'll also write at the end of a chapter soon because it's *that* important.)
          
          Thank you for your understanding and stay safe!
          
          xoxo Victoria Conteville
