WHAT DIDN’T END — A LITTLE PAUSE
          	
          	I’ve decided to temporarily unpublish What Didn’t End.
          	
          	This story has grown into something much bigger than what I originally planned, and after sitting with it for a while, I realized I need to rewrite it properly, not just edit a few chapters, but rebuild parts of the story the way I now know they deserve to be told.
          	
          	Cassie and Tavi’s story isn’t ending.
          	
          	It’s being rewritten.
          	
          	I want to give them the story I originally imagined, but with the depth, emotional weight, and character development I’ve discovered along the way.
          	
          	So if you’ve read WDE before, thank you for being there for the first version. And if you’re new here, wait for them. 
          	
          	Some things are meant to be rewritten.
          	
          	Some things are meant to remain.
          	
          	And some things…
          	
          	just didn’t end.

Today, I learned of the passing of Dr. Kent Carpenter.
          While writing Silent Reefs, I spent countless hours reading about Philippine marine biodiversity, and his work was among those that shaped how I saw the sea, not just as a setting, but as something worth protecting.
          
          Sierra would cry knowing this. Isla Verde of Monteverde was heavily inspired by the Verde Island Passage, a place Dr. Carpenter helped bring global attention through his research. Long before it became fiction, it was a real ecosystem studied and defended by scientists like him.
          
          I have thalassophobia, but through works like his, I learned to love the ocean more than I feared it. That love found its way into Silent Reefs.
          
          Beyond his research, he also served as an expert witness for the Philippines in the South China Sea Arbitration, helping expose the environmental destruction of coral reefs and marine ecosystems in the West Philippine Sea.
          
          Thank you for your work, Dr. Carpenter. A small part of it lives on in fiction.
          
          If you loved Silent Reefs, don't stop at loving fictional reefs. Fight for the real ones too.
          
          Rest in peace.
