happy new month, everyone!
i wanted to post this announcement some days ago, but i didn't for two reasons. one, to gather all my strength and courage. and two, i wanted to see who'd notice that Clouded Hearts has been unpublished. no one did, and honestly, i'm not mad. really. asides from the fact that everyone's busy with their lives outside this app, it just shows that CH... was not it. i know it, and you might not want me to feel bad, but you know it, too. when i began writing CH last year, i could sort of tell it wasn't the one. and even though i was adamant to somehow, in respect to my goals for this year, finish writing it, it was time to let it go. i feel terrible. i really do. if you've been here from the beginning, you'll know that this isn't the first book i've done this to. not the second. not the third. i've started and dumped so many promising ideas due to writer's block, and eventually, lack of motivation. it sucks.

@ageofanxiety please don't apologise, Renée! to hear you say that Clouded Hearts actually meant something to you means everything to me. thank you for existing, and thank you for being your amazingly awesome self. i'll never take your love, support, understanding, and everything that makes you you, for granted. i can't wait for you to read Ride Or Die. i hope it'll make you proud. also, thank you! i'm even more excited to grow through this era with you. i love you so much. ❤️
@dauthoraa Hi. I'm really sorry for not noticing sooner, but honestly, Clouded Hearts was one of the few books I genuinely enjoyed reading on Wattpad. I never once felt "this isn't it" or that it wasn't worth anyone's time, so I feel terrible for being so late in saying that. Regarding unpublishing, I completely get what you said. I felt something similar when I wrote my first book. I knew it was rough, probably terrible, and that it wasn't meant to be. But I never unpublished it, mainly because it was my first book, and I didn't want it to disappear entirely. So I understand the feeling of letting go, even when part of you wants it to stay. I just want you to know that this doesn't take away from how much I appreciate your work and your heart in your writing. Clouded Hearts meant something, and it always will. I'm so proud of you for recognizing when something no longer serves you and for giving yourself permission to nurture the writer in you. That kind of self-awareness takes courage, and it's actually inspiring. I cannot wait to read Ride Or Die. And I'm here for you, cheering you on, no matter what. Also, happy belated official-adult vibes! Yellow sounds perfect for this new era, and I'm excited to see you grow through it. I love you. ❤️
today's my birthday!
@dauthoraa Happy belated birthday, Dara. So sorry I missed this announcement. I logged in back to Wattpad after a LONG time, so . . . Anyway, wishing you all the best and sending you my love.
Hi dauthoraa, hope you're all good and having a great week so far.
I've just started reading your story on your profile and love it. Enjoying it very much.
Keep up with the amazing work, you're a very gifted writer. :)
@Cindles2199 hi! i'm glad you're enjoying CH, thank you so, so much! i hope you're good and having a lovely week, too! <3

@MiniMoxx you're welcome, Alex! i really enjoyed it!
hey'all! wow, it's been a while :)
i just wanted to pop in to let y'all know that i'm alive lol. i did fall ill this past week, but i'm better now! i also want to apologize for the delay in CH updates. i know y'all are tired of hearing it, but writer's block has been hitting me HARD. but! because y'all keep reading (we hit 500+ reads!!!) and voting for CH, irrespective of my sporadic updates (which i'm SUPER grateful for!!), i'm going to punch my writer's block in the face. so that means y'all should expect an update or two this week! stay tuned!
also, happy super belated new year! i hope 2025 is being good to y'all so far! i love y'all so much! ❤️
xo, dara.
@dauthoraa I love you more, Dara! Take care, don't stress, and we'll be here celebrating you always!! ❤️❤️
@ageofanxiety RENÉE!! i missed you too, queen! thank you for all your kind words and support. i appreciate you so much, and i love love love love love you! ❤️❤️
@dauthoraa Aaaaah DARA HI!!! I missed you! So glad you're feeling better, and don't you even worry about the updates. Your writing is worth the wait! And 500+ reads?!?! You deserve ALL the love!! Go easy on yourself, and when that update drops, we'll be READY! Love you sm!! ❤️❤️❤️"
