I just got home from the airport, and I realised that Violet Eden now has a little over 2k votes and over 200 votes.
          Thank you, guys. Truly. <333
          
          PS: On the plane, I had some time to think, and I decided that the next book will be some sort of remake of 'An Encounter'. It will be a Felix (and Hyunjin) x OC. Right now, I'm thinking of calling it ' So We Meet...'  I started on the character aesthetics, and I can't wait to show you guys. I wanted to make it a duology, but I don't want to have any book marked as ongoing by March 2027.

hey guys,
           so I  changed my pfp.

Okay, so… I’ve got a few hours left before 2026, and I wanted this to be the last thing I say before the year ends.
          
          Thank you. Like genuinely, deeply, thank you for being with me throughout this year and for supporting me the way you did. Every vote, every comment, every single notification has meant more to me than I can explain. After going through all of 2024 barely getting any of that, my heart has been so, so warmed this year.
          I also want to say thank you to all the friends I met through books on Wattpad. You guys mean so much to me, and I really hope I’ll still be seeing you next year, reading your stories, screaming in your comment sections, and maybe even communicating outside of Wattpad. You made this space feel like home.
          Thank you for getting An Encounter to 6.2k reads and 270 votes, Evergreen to 36.1k reads and 1.6k votes in less than a year of uploading it and less than half a year after finishing it, and my youngest baby, Violet Eden, to 1.7k reads and 176 votes in just three months of starting it. That is honestly insane to me.
          Thank you for every comment, especially the encouraging ones, and for the constructive criticism, too. I see it all, I appreciate it, and it’s helped me grow so much. And thank you so much for 87 followers. 
          This might also be another year where I don’t get albums (I got albums in 2024 without my parents' permission) or go to tours, but that’s okay. Loving music, stories, and art has never been about how much you own, but how much it means to you—and trust me, it means a lot to me.
          Next year, I hope to be more consistent, more creative, more on time, and to become the author you truly deserve.
          
          I love you all so much. Happy New Year 

PLEASE READ!!!
          
          guys, so....
          I honestly wouldn't be pissed if you gave up on An Encounter. I think the reason I continued with it even when I was struggling wasn't good enough, and I should have ended it way before I did. I spent a while reading it and it is actually cringe and unrealistic asf, and I deffo will not be continuing it. But I spoke to my cousin, and she loves it. She also thinks it has some sort of fairy tale and real-life fusion going on, but she also thinks that you guys probably would want the in-group ships. So, what we have decided is that in 2026, I'll be writing Violet Eden and hopefully making bi-weekly updates, so I can finish it by September. Then, maybe I'll write a sequel, and I'll also be working on another book. Now I need you to decide, Is the second book going to be :
          1️⃣ a rebrand of ‘An Encounter’ (with new detail, possibly even new names)
          2️⃣ a book with new ideas, most likely a Minsung-centric.
          
          *It wouldn't come out until at least July. 
          
          Additionally, I'm considering creating a Discord server next year.
          
          
          Anyway, have a Merry Christmas and expect to see a Violet Eden chapter tomorrow and on the 31st, but I'll be taking a brea,k so there'll be no update until the 10th.

So, I have an English Language exam tomorrow, and this is the first time (in my memory) that I have ever panicked for an English test, exam, whatsoever. I go to an international school, and I'm jealous of my classmates who are taking English as a second language, like it's so easy, and some of them speak English like it's their first language.  
          
          
          ALSO, thank you, guys, for 100 votes and 1k reads on Violet Eden.

Oh my gosh, guys. Thank you for 30K reads on Evergreen.

Guys...
          
          *An Encounter* means more to me than most people know. When I first wrote it, I was hopeful in a way only a 12-year-old can be — wide-eyed, gentle, a little lost, but full of dreams. I wasn’t confident, but I believed in that story because it felt like the one place where my heart made sense.
          
          Almost two years later, I’m not that girl anymore. I’ve grown, bruised a little, and learned a lot. I’m dealing with school, heartbreak, and turbulent relationships — especially with my parents. I found my real self somewhere in the middle of all that, and she’s stronger… but she’s tired, too.
          
          I realised I used all my light on *Evergreen* and used the rest trying to protect *Violet Eden* from going dark. And when I looked back at *An Encounter*, there was nothing left to give. The story felt like a version of me I can’t reach anymore.
          
          So after a lot of thinking, I’ve decided to discontinue the book. Not forever — just until I can come back to it with the same love it deserves. I hope everyone who cared for it can forgive me. I want to fall in love with *An Encounter* again, even if it means rewriting everything or changing the entire world around it.
          
          Thank you for waiting for me, even while I’m still learning how to wait for myself.

Guys, so remember how I wanted to edit an encounter, because the story lines weren't adding up, and I thought it sounded cringe? Yeah, so I realised that I was changing the story lines instead, and I don't wanna do that. So instead, I'm gonna not edit anymore, and leave the book the way it was, but rather I'll put the edit in a new book. I apologize for my messiness and indecisiveness, but I'm having a bit of a problem with my writing. I am gonna continue writing the original book though

Guys, I forgot to announce it earlier, but the prologue of my latest project, Violet Eden, is OUT NOW, and the first two chapters are coming out on Saturday. If you are interested in reading it, then go check it out now.

Guys...
          
          So like, there is this person who kept commenting on 'Evergreen'. At first, I was happy(like, why wouldn't you be if your book was getting more engagement), then I realised that the comments were progressively becoming aggressive and kinda disrespectful. 
          
          I think the person came for one ship and wasn't getting as much of the ship as they thought they would, and they just resorted to insulting the other characters. You may not see it if you open the book, but because I'm the writer, I see all of them and the time they were posted.
          
          This is just a rant, but can you guys please be respectful in comment sections? I don't mind criticism, but it has to be constructive.
