「 Kei's Check-In ! 」
          	
          	Hello Everyone!
          	
          	My finals ended almost two weeks ago, and my performances went well! Sorry for going M.I.A. again. I've been going through a reset now that all the academic pressure is over. #academicweapon is now burnt and recovering. I still check my school site to see if assignments are due.
          	
          	I'm currently working on the next chapter, so please be patient. I am also dealing with a bit of a fever again, and had a bit of a stressful few days because of my water boiler bursting and flooding the kitchen. 
          	
          	I hope you all have been well and that those with/had final exams are taking needed breaks. I am so proud of all of you! Cheers to the end of another academic season! Much love to you all!
          	
          	Warmly, 
          	Kei <3

Finals were actually no joke this time around, so trust that we get it. Silver-lining is that they are done and stress will fade.

Hey, would it be okay if I took some inspiration from your book for a book I'm writing?

_keikirei

@seraphinaburns No worries! I’m glad you’re all better! That sounds wonderful! I look forward to see what you create

i’m sorry it’s taking me so long to respond. I got really sick, but I’m all better now but when I said I wanted to take inspiration I just meant kind of like how the story began

@seraphinaburns Hi love! Sure, I don't mind. May I ask what aspects you're taking inspiration from? :))

          Hello my lovely readers,
          
          As much as I wish I could say I have a new chapter upload today, unfortunately, I am skipping this Saturday's upload again. BUT I will do my best to finish the CH. that I have written most of already by next week. After that, I probably won't post for another two weeks.
          
          I'm on the last stretch of my spring semester with finals in 3 weeks. And I have tech week for an upcoming performance I am a part of. I have had no time to write with all my rehearsals and studying as a full-time student. Truly, my sincerest apologies. 
          
          Reminder to not overwork yourself. I am doing my best to do the same, though my lack of sleep is evident. Grab a snack, drink some water, work hard, and laugh a lot. 
          
          Much love to you all!
          
          Warmly, 
          Kei <3

Take your time, like you said, not overwhelming yourself is the best thing you can do right now. Especially because this time of year is probably the hardest because of a good bit of classes are finishing up with finals. It’s brutal and I wish you the best in your finals and in your performance.

「 FEEDBACK REQUEST! - The Stars Aligned 」
          
          Hello my readers,
          
          As I continue to write my fanfic series, I have a few feedback questions if there are some of you who'd like to answer. 
          
          1. With my writing and my tendency to write semi-long chapters, do certain scenes ever bore you? Like anything regarding development between my OCs (Cato, Reyna, Clementine, Ethan, and Hyacinth) that don't have much to feature of the CCs of Twilight. 
          
          2. With my writing, I would like any constructive criticisms. I feel like sometimes the tones I portray are overly dramatic unless I'm overanalyzing my writing. 
          
          3. How is my pacing? I expect New Moon to be one of the longer books of the series because Hyacinth's and Paul's relationships develop a lot more, and so will more of Hyacinth's origins. I know we're only reaching chapter 10 and Hyacinth just moved to La Push. 
          
          4. I think most chapters range from 5k-7k word count, but recently they've been past 7k, around there. That being said, are my chapter lengths sufficient? Do you guys feel like there are parts being rushed or dragged on? 
          
          Those are the main feedback questions that have been on my mind. 
          Chapter 10 of The Stars Aligned is almost finished, but classes have started up again, so no upload this Saturday. I'll get it up as soon as I finish. It's early morning and I haven't slept, so goodnight or good morning, have a lovely day!
          
          Much love!
          
          Warmly, 
          Kei <3

            Thank you, both! I appreciate the feedback and it makes my heart warm to know what you feel! Let me know if there’s anything specific you hope to see, but other than that, thank you for being supportive readers regardless.

Honestly this is one of the best fanfics i’ve read, I check almost everyday to see if you’ve posted a new chapter yet bc of how good the pace is, that you don’t overdo much of anything! Keep up the great work

@_keikirei I don’t think the chapters are actually long at all, the pacing is quite great. Also when scenes that seem dramatic come up it doesn’t entirely feel that way, Hyacinth is actually not too reactive when it comes to certain things. But no keep up the great work!! Nothing needs to change.

          Hello, my lovely readers!
          
          If you saw my initial post, no, you didn't.
          I will be posting two chapters this Sunday, March 15. It's Spring Break for me this week, so I've been staying up and writing with the time that I have. Like right now. I haven't slept, and it's morning.
          
          I really do apologize for the lack of updates. I see your comments wanting more, and I am doing my best to find the time and motivation to write. I adore each and every one of you. 
          
          Thank you for your patience! Much, much love! <3
          
          Warmly, 
          Kei <3
