Hello! A pleasant evening/morning/afternoon to everyone :)
          
          I just logged on Wattpad with a hot cup of tea in my hands, browsing cluelessly through the paranormal genre only to end up almost spitting my tea out as i recognised both my books sitting smugly on the hot list. 
          
          Never did I imagine that both of them would be ranked quite impressively despite me being gone for a full month.
          
          Thank you all so much for this honour. It made me feel so loved and happy, making me believe in myself :) Thank you again for making my evening :)

Hey everyone, As you all might have noticed, I haven't been socialising much on Wattpad nowadays. I realise how it's been 10 days since I last updated Touch of Destiny and how it's been more than two weeks since I last sat down to type even 50 words and it's killing me.
          
          My dad doesn't know that. Unfortunately, since this is my last year at college, I'll be graduating and the grades matter a lot.  I skipped my one extra class today, Just ONE class because I just felt I needed a break to just stop and breathe, get some space from all the chaos, you know? 
          
          Life in the family has been tough as it is and today, me skipping class tipped them over the edge, I guess and I'm not a person who skips classes, ever!
          
           My dad thinks I've been spending time here 24/7 and hence, today, I received one of the worst ever scoldings. He thinks I'm addicted to WP and I'm jeopardising my life. I just stood there as he yelled, unable to even prove my innocence. He just wasn't listening and said some pretty harsh words that still sting my heart and make me wince.
          
          Therefore, I have to stop typing and quit WP  till I finish my final year at college. This hurts me so much but I am left with no other choices. It's either this or delete my account forever. When I finally score good marks, I can shove it in soceity's face and get back to doing what I love...typing.
          
          I'm so sorry guys and this breaks my heart in ways I cannot explain. I'm really sorry but I'm going to go on a hiatus till May 2016. I will still hang around and read, socialise on WP but not like before so please do forgive me if I am a bit slow and a bit detached.
          
          I know I'm not a very popular author here on WP for me to be typing this elaborate message but I have made some pretty awesome and lovely friends here and I just wanted to let you all know what's happening.
          
          Typing this hurts me more than you can imagine but I have to do this. Dad's the one setting rules around here. 
          
          for the last time, signing off,
          -DG <3 :'(

@dolly_gem Wattpad will always be here….always. College won't. It is four years (commonly) and that is four years in which you will never be able to revisit in the same mind, the same body, or the same time. College is a thing you do and are done with. Wattpad, and writing and reading, it sticks with you forever. Always remember that. You can always return, always step through the wardrobe again.
            Best of wishes,
            -jack

Hey everyone ! Hope you are all having a fantastic week :) I'm aware of how I haven't updated Touch of Destiny for almost a week and I'm sincerely sorry.
          
          Ever since I joined some science tutions, I've struggled to find some balance between my writing and college. It's so hectic!
          
          Anyway, today's Friday so that means I'll get some free time and I'll try my best to get a chapter up today :)
          
          Thank you 
          -DG <3
