Y’all… I’m lowkey on the verge of tears. The revised version of DH has reached the 10k mark from the Prologue to Chapter Five. You may be thinking Why is it a big deal? I’ll tell you. I’ve been struggling so badly for the past year or two to feel good about a story and reach a certain word count. I’ve cried over the fact that I never seemed to stick to a story, losing the connection I had once felt in the beginning. But now? Who knew the rewrite of DH would be my savior? I feel so close to this story that when I get up in the morning, my first thought is to get back to writing. 
          	
          	Now, to celebrate my milestone… I present to you Reckless Behavior! I will be publishing early, and I hope you enjoy reading this story as much as I enjoy writing it. <3

Hey y’all! I KNOW it has been FOREVER since a chapter was uploaded for either ongoing story, and just a forewarning, I may remove FS because I just don’t connect with it anymore. I have a lot on my plate mentally, though they are private matters, and I just can’t write about mental illnesses while I’m in this state. But TBT and BBH will be staying while I work on a lil surprise for you all, want a lil hint? It’s been long-awaited since I reworked the description of Devil’s Heat. 
          .
          .
          .
          If you guessed that I’m finally writing the reworked version of DH, then you are correct! I have a few chapters ready to publish, but first, I must write till Chapter Ten to know that I am serious about this. I think the motivation has come back to playfully bite me in the ass since I got this new adjustable height standing desk with LEDs and a monitor stand. Now I feel like a hot-blooded professional writer <3 Anyhoo, I will be updating BBH in the meantime while I write the reworked DH. 
          
          Again, I’m so sorry for being inconsistent, and I’m over the moon grateful to those of you who stayed to bear with me. Continue being my little rays of sunshine! 
          
          Also, I’m gatekeeping the title until further notice. :>

Hey, I noticed you said you were taking a break a month ago so I don't want to stress this!! but are you gonna rewrite " devil's heat " I remember reading the rewrite so I'm just asking?

h_erxin

@ReShOyO Yes! It's currently in the process of being figured out, but I'm stacked with a whole load of self-doubt and my internal problems stemming from the idea that I can never seem to finish writing a book. Rest assured, it will be rewritten as a separate story as soon as possible, and I won't be overwriting the current version of Devil's Heat. So I ask you to please be patient while I figure out my next course of action <3

I’m going on a hiatus, and my works will be paused for the time being. Not only because of my lack of involvement, but because of my plan to start vocational rehab alongside college. Being cooped up in my home for years has finally caught up to me, causing me great stress, anxiety, and bouts of severe depression. I need to get off my ass and do something for myself, not only to make myself proud, but to make all my friends and family proud. 
          
          The prolonged isolation is the reason for my lack of involvement in writing. I see no pleasure in it. My idea is that forcing myself to start vocational rehab and college will help me reignite my spark. Why? Because when I was still in high school, I wrote every day and had fun. Everything I wrote meant something to me. Now, I feel joyless while writing, as if it’s a chore. 
          
          I don’t mind losing followers for this, but if you decide to stay and believe in me, I sincerely appreciate you. 
          
          I don’t know when I will return to posting, so bear with me. But if you wish to reach me, my Discord user is xxraeraexx. Love you all, and thank you for all the support you’ve given me.
          
          Till next time, my lovelies <3

@h_erxin oh ok I trust that you'll come back cause you do I was just wondering why you leave after you make stories but thanks for letting me know the real 
Balas

h_erxin

@Atsumusthighss No, you don’t understand what I’m going through. No one truly understands what anyone is going through because every situation is different. I know you’re frustrated and disappointed, trust me, I know, because I feel that way with myself daily by continuing to do this. I can’t give you an answer for my actions without outing my personal life, especially since I am overthinking every word in this response. All you need to know is that I’m struggling, my depression diminishing my love for writing and everything I used to love doing. Getting better is easier said than done; you must know this by default. 
            
            Keep in mind that I am human, and no life is easy. We all fight our own battles, and we either win or lose in the end. And the reason my stories remain up is to act as a reminder to me that I am not giving up this time. It’s your choice whether to believe and trust me.

My thing is we understand what you're going through but why continue to come back make good new stories and say you're gonna continue them and make more stories then just stop and discontinue them and take them off your reading list so we can't read it but then you tell us this I just wanna know why continue to update us you been doing this for so long I've been reading your really good books and you just leave us in the dust why

I’m replacing Visions with a new IwaOi story called Finding Serenity. This is NOT because I’m quitting the story, but rather because I need to go back and start from the beginning. The current way it's going is giving me the ick. Whenever it is published in the near future, everything should be relatively the same, but with improved quality in writing and a stronger layout. This new project (ehe I’m excited) is a little different from my normal works. It’s similar to Pain & pleasure but different in many ways. The A/N will be published first, and then Chapter One will be posted this coming Wednesday at 5:00 AM MDT. However, the schedule to publish will be every OTHER week to avoid overworking myself since I have BBH every week. 
          
          Anywho… yeah. Go check out the Author’s Note for Finding Serenity! <3

Quick update: I plan on working on three projects. Bound By Honor, Visions, and a new SakuAtsu Dark Fantasy fic called The Black Terror. TBT is a multipov story, but it mainly focuses on Sakusa and Atsumu. Whenever it goes up, I don’t want to hear anyone “educate” me on the differences between dragons and wyverns. The DRAGONS in this story are two-legged and breathe only fire. Now, I have been obsessing over this idea for basically a couple of years. The plot? I will not say anything. 
          
          Onto the next matter of business: Bound By Honor chapters are set to publish every Friday at 5:00 AM MDT. VISIONS chapters are set to publish every Wednesday at 5:00 AM MDT. The Black Terror chapters are set to publish every Monday at 5:00 AM MDT. 
          
          I’m going to be spending time cultivating a few chapters of Bound By Honor and scheduling them to publish before I move on to another project. Visions will be next, and it may take a couple of weeks, or maybe less, because I’ve kinda fallen out. All I need to do is just write. Just write. That’s what you do when you find yourself stuck, even if it may seem difficult or even impossible. The final project to be worked on is The Black Terror. It may take a few weeks to a couple of months to get started, just forewarning y’all. This whole scheduling thing is a tough order, but since I want to veer away from doom gaming, this is just what I need to break out of that cycle.

Heya everyone, just wanted to update you and tell you that I decided to schedule for every Friday or Saturday to post Bound By Honor. The times should be the same every week if I pay close attention, but I have yet to think of what time on Friday or Saturday the first chapter will be posted. This came to mind about a few hours ago. I wanted to post yesterday, but things happened, preventing me from getting basically anything more than that Author’s Note done. And as an update to how the first chapter is going, I’m almost 1000 words in, and my goal is 2500. My motivation to write has been really great recently, since I got a sick new keyboard in the gradient color of black and off-pink. The brand is Aula F99 Pro, and the clicks are so clunky and creamy and satisfying. But it was pretty darn expensive compared to my last mechanical keyboard, which was around $80 USD. 
          
          Anyway, just wanted to share that small bit of information since I love my keyboard so much. 
          
          Stay safe, my luvs! Drink lots of water and stay healthy <3
