The month of love is here! And so is the month of reading romance *_* 
          
          How often would you like me to update these stories in the month of Feb? 
          - In the Name of Love 
          - 27 Bowls of Ice cream 
          
          No promises but I will try to work my schedule basis your inputs. After all, it is the month of love and my chance to play Cupid (for my own characters) which is totally on brand so why not? xD 
          
          Let me know your thoughts. And as we welcome a new month, how did the first month of this year treat you?
          
          My month was absolutely stressful, to say the least. But hey, escapism to the rescue, it took me right back to reading - I have read 5 books in Jan 2025 (my yearly goal was 7 books). Lol. Btw I am planning to read a lot more on Wattpad this year (counting Wattpad books towards my reading goal) so feel free to share your recommendations.
          
          As always, I love you and I’m so grateful to have you here <3
          
          Your turn. Share your thoughts in the comments :)

Surprise, surprise! 
          
          Basis majority choice, welcoming a brand new story to this orange world. Say hello to Sandhya's story about finding love in a magical town. Performing spells may feel like the easiest trick in the book to find love - but what when you realise each spell comes with a consequence?
          
          How far would you be willing to go for love? Read here and let me know -

          Happy planetary alignment to those who celebrate. Make a wish and it might just come true <3

@dustychalks I know you've already picked the story to start, but no. 3 has my vote. Hope to see the story soon on this little orange corner of the internet. :)

Okay so my follower count here just went from 2.26K followers to 2.14K in a day. A day later, we're at 2.03K followers. At this point, I don't know where it's gonna stop.
          
          Like I get the logic behind this (Wattpad deleting inactive accounts as I'm told) and all, but honestly it's just disappointing and demotivating when I'm convincing myself to keep writing and come back to Wattpad in spite of working and burning myself out at my job all day.
          
          I know I shouldn't care about numbers much but let's be real here. If any of you have any piece of advice on this, I'm all ears. I'm truly at a loss of understanding and don't know how to process all this.
          
          In the meanwhile, I'm also considering and re-evaluating the idea of writing and posting my stories here due to multiple reasons. If you're somewhat interested in reading my stories on this platform, please drop a hi or something in the comments?
          
          Thanks. And to all my current 2030 followers + all my readers, please know that I love you way beyond I can express. You make writing and living worth it. Thank you for existing ♡

New year, new questions (and new stories?) 
          
          2025 has started with an insane amount of random plot twists for me.
          
          7 days into the year and I've created 2 new story plots out of thin air, made progress with 4 different stories and got back into feeling the joy of reading.
          
          While we walk into the rest of the year, I want to ask YOU for some advice. If you're here, please comment on the below poll to let me know your pick - which of these stories would you like to read next? It will truly make a difference. Thanks ♡
          
          OPTION 1
          
          A reverse grumpy x sunshine story about heartbreak, hope, love and lots of metaphors.
          
          (Contains fake dating, enemies to friends to lovers, mystery, mythological refs and will urge you to introspect.)
          
          OPTION 2
          
          An Indian arranged marriage story featuring a billionaire and his rebellious fake wife.
          
          (Contains enemies to lovers, grumpy x grumpy, found family tropes and will make you feel cosy and loved.)
          
          For more updates, follow me on Instagram. Wishing you all a very happy new year. May all your wishes come trueeee ♡♡♡

Option 1
            Actually this year, I started with reverse grumpy x sunshine (with heartbreak, twist and enemies to lovers trope) 
            
            But i m really looking forward to ur version of option 1. So my vote goes there.
