eyuuhh

Hello, my dearest readers and followers,
          
          I know I haven't uploaded a chapter this week, and I'm really guilty about that. I don't know what's wrong with me, but I'm still stuck in the restaurant scene where Trevor confessed to Damian.
          
          I couldn't write the continuation chapter kay ganahan ko namnamon ang confession nila. To be honest, it really did pain me more than it should, and it saddened me kay basin dili nako mahatag ang exact continuation nga inyong gihulat.
          
          Sakit paminawon ug sakit lantawon nga ari lang sa guro ni kutob. I actually didn't know that I'd go this far regarding the confession, but I know there's something deeper behind it, and I wish I could justify Trevor's confession in the next chapter. And I know it will take time.
          
          So for now, please support Book 3 (GL). Please, until the end, support me. Palihog lang, please bitaw ni.
          
          Kidding aside, nagsakit gihapon ko. Wala ko kahibaw kung na-feel ba ninyo akong kasakit karon. I know akong story dili gyud kaayo siya mahimong favorite sa tanan, kay hinuon sad, wala pa man ko na-mold gyud as an author unlike sa inyong mga favorite authors. But I assure you guys that I'll give you a story that's new to you.
          
          Update lang ko puhon kung makaya na nako. Yearner pod tawn ko, guys, maong nasakitan pod tawn kog maayo. (Mayntag kamo sad)
          
          Anyway, thank you all. I love you.
          
          P.S. Ari lang sa ko mag-update kay wala koy ka-talking stage nga ma-updatan.
          
          P.P.S. Actually guys ganahan gyud ko na maka experience nga mo demand mo sa ako og update  sa next chapter (for pressure) pero hinuon sad kinsa ra bitaw pod ko. (Pero kiligon gyud ko if ever, sama sa kakilig nga akong madawat taga basa nako sa inyong comments.)
          

I've seen a lot of comments confused about Cherry Nikki Angeles's gender, especially since my characters often use she, him, and other pronouns when referring to her.
          
          I want to take this opportunity to clarify that Cherry Nikki Angeles is transgender. However, she came out later than expected to my other characters, which is why some of them still use both she and him pronouns when talking about her. 
          
          This is not meant as disrespect or an insult; rather, it's because they were used to addressing her that way before she came out.
          
          For many of the characters, adjusting to this change takes time. Some of them are still learning and adapting, while others have already fully embraced and respected her identity. 
          
          Their different reactions are intentional and reflect how people often navigate similar situations in real life. I chose to keep this detail for the sake of authenticity and realism in my characters and their relationships. 
          
          Not everyone changes overnight, and I wanted to portray that process honestly. The mixed pronoun usage is part of the story and character development, not an attempt to invalidate Cherry's identity. 
          
          Cherry is recognized and respected as a woman within the story. As the story progresses, you'll see many of these characters grow, learn, and become more mindful of how they address her.
          
          Thank you to everyone who has asked questions respectfully and taken an interest in understanding the character better.
          

Hi, Author-nim! 
          
          I finished reading the latest chapter yesterday, and I could say that it’s really worth the wait. Every word shows the depths of what I think they actually feel at that moment. I could also say that I can relate to Yuri, yearning is not something you should romanticize or casually use just because you feel like it. I hate yearning, maybe not the same as how Yuri does, but in ways it pains me just by the thought of it. Yearning is deadly. It’s a deep emotion that for me has no words to convey how it actually felt like. Yuri hates being yearned, while I hate being a yearner. Yearning sucks.
          
          Thank you for your wisdom. May God continue to bless you with intellect that open senses, comforts a broken heart, acknowledge the outcasts (or whatever they call it), and most importantly, gives hope. I will wait again, but it’s fine, because I know it’ll be worth it. 
          
          To more books you have yet to write, and I have yet to read! 
          You are sure one of a kind. 
          
          

I’m sorry for the delay in uploading the next chapter of Murmurs of the Autumn Wind. To be honest, I found it difficult to write the depth of their emotions, the longing, the yearning, and the ache that lingered within them. There are feelings I know my character is experiencing, yet I struggle to find the right words to fully capture them.
          
          As a writer, there is nothing more frustrating than knowing exactly what a character feels but being unable to translate it onto the page in a way that does those emotions justice. Because of that, I kept revisiting and rewriting parts of the chapter, hoping to convey their heart more deeply and authentically.
          
          I feel a great deal of regret and disappointment for making you wait this long, but I also didn't want to rush a chapter that carries so much emotional weight. Thank you for your patience and understanding. I truly appreciate everyone who continues to support Murmurs of the Autumn Wind, and I hope this chapter is worth the wait.
          

Happy Pride Month everyone. Whether you're out, questioning, or still in the closet, remember that coming out is not a duty, and you should never pressure yourself or anyone else to do it.
          
          Because coming out is not a requirement to be valid. Your identity is yours, and you deserve to share it on your own terms, in your own time, and when you feel safe and ready.
          
          Pride is about celebrating who you are, not meeting other people's expectations. So this month, be kind to yourself, respect others' journeys, and remember that every experience is different.
          
          Happy Pride Month. ️‍

I actually have so much trouble writing the next chapter of Murmurs of the Autumn Wind.
          
          It’s just too deep for me to write right now. The lines are glued inside my head, and everything about it feels so painfully gut-wrenching that it genuinely hurts me to the bone. Because of that, the update might take a while. Honestly, I’m scared to write it.
          
          I’m really sorry about that.
          
          P.S. No one’s demanding for an update, I know. I just wanted to let you all know because I honestly feel like I won’t recover from this chapter once I finally write it.
          

I think the update might be delayed. I’ve been having issues with Wattpad after the recent update, and it’s getting stressful because the stories I’ve written aren’t saving properly and keep turning back into blank spaces. When I check them after saving, all the lines just disappear.
          
          I’m not even sure if it’s a bug from the update or a syncing issue, but it’s been happening repeatedly, and it’s making the writing process really unreliable.
