ngl sometimes I get super insecure about the length of tddup. like she is massive. written equivalent of the titanic. i wonder if you guys think it's too long :(
          	but, also like, I can't quite think of shortening the remainder of what needs to happen. it'd be such a pity

Does this mean you started uplaoding again?? Pleasesayyes..nvm I'll go check. Gurl I completed my mbbs I've waited THAT long...I LOVEEE your books. Please dont change anything. Keep the length, let me DEVOUR it. I am watching this paki drama called Zanjeerein and the whole start of a story with spouses dying thing reminded me of Zach and Rose so I just have to come back....(too long? Sorry)

Please don’t shorten the length..it’s their words that I fell for the book..how immaculately they express themselves. I just love reading it again and again and every time it gets better and better.

I don’t really use Wattpad anymore, but I randomly checked back because I still think about Rose and Zach sometimes. I remember when you first started writing TDDUP and I can’t believe it’s been 7 years!! Seeing your update genuinely made me so happy. I’m really glad you’re continuing the story. Take all the time you need, and welcome back.

TDDUP:
          
          First thing's first: yes, TDDUP will be completed. I'm NOT giving up on it.
          I've been writing the book, albeit very slowly, offline. I have 6 new chapters written so far but I won't be releasing them until I've written ALL remaining chapters and the book is done. This is so that I can begin releasing chapters on a regular basis without the risk of leaving you hanging in-between updates. It's more enjoyable for you and less stressful for me ❤️
          It's been nearly 7 years since I began the story - needless to say, I'm not the exact same writer. My perspective regarding a lot of things have changed (for the better, I hope) and the TDDUP version that currently exists is not what I 100% identify wth. But I'm not going to rewrite or change any of the old chapters (that's a massive task because of the behemoth size of the book already) - but should I decide to traditionally publish the book later, it'll definitely need a rewrite.
          
          Even now, writing the new chapters is tricky because there's so much I want to change in Act 3 and I find it really tedious to stick to the script of what's happened so far in order for the following chapters to make sense. I did consider at least rewriting Act 3 but even that feels overwhelming (Act 3 chapters are super long, with 10k+ word count for each).
          
          So I've made the decision to stick to what's been done so far but since I'm not 110% into the current progression of the story, you might pick up on it (?) Idk, I can't really say because I don't know what my writing sounds like to a reader when my heart isn't entirely aligned with it.
          
          But you've been waiting for so long & I appreciate that beyond words can say. So the remainder of TDDUP is, I believe, more for you than for me.
          
          I cannot promise a definitive date but I do hope to finish writing AND releasing the rest of the book within the year. Perhaps one day I'll be able to revisit the story from scratch and rewrite it into a whole new version that my heart & soul is in sync with ❤️
