Joh joh joh, I am cryyyying....!!
With excitement!!! Okay, okay. So, uhmmm, I had been going through some DEEEEEEP writers' block these last couple of months.
Yes, dat ting, man. Bathong, bathong. (Mam Khize accent) And the reason was because my last laptop was snatched right up and taken to never -gonna see it again- land. The notes for my books were not all fully backed up at the time. So I lost all the "world rules" for each book, story structure, plot twists, characters and their descriptions, the WHYs to the WHATs of certain scenes... ALMOST EVERYTHING. I only had like the synopsis and a couple of written chapters backed up.
And shiiii nooo way I remembered everything from my head hey.
Okay anyways THE POINT of my excitement is because I tend to go on and on and on when I'm excited about something and when I started creating and writing Universe I babbled on and on to a friend via WhatsApp about the book I'm starting...
Guys... literally YESTERDAY, I remembered that I babbled to him about the book back in 2023.
And guess what??
HE LEGIT had all those messages and VNs still saved and resent them to me!. After all these months, that's all I had to do???? And tjohhhhh let me tell yall how much crucial information I had forgotten!!!
I'm so happy I got those notes back. Especially for Universe because the research and making things make sense and fixing loop holes, FINDING LOOP HOLES, never mind fixing them
Alhamdulilah.
2025 HERE WE GOOO!!!!!♀️♀️♀️ Writing hat on!!
Also a huge thank you to everyone who has read commented and voted on Universe so far. The appreciation is tenfold. Universe is only on 1.4k reads but to me it's a really big milestone in my aspiring author and struggling artist journey
