About that second message I promised... I wanted to be honest with you guys about why I’ve been struggling to stay focused and why everything is taking a little longer than planned. Whether I’m writing Celestined or re-editing Dawnfrost, I’m genuinely giving it my all. Life has just been… intense lately. Somehow in a good way. In an exciting way.
          
          Some of you might already know this, but I’m a university student. an engineering student, actually. And right now, I’m deep in exam season.
          
          During these exams, I’m constantly surrounded by massive, complicated math problems. But honestly The math itself doesn’t bother me at all. It’s the opposite. Whenever I’m solving a problem, my mind just… opens up. The logic triggers something creative, and suddenly all these incredible story ideas start pouring in.
          
          It’s kind of funny—and painful at the same time—because I’ll catch myself sitting there in the middle of a study session, staring at the wall for hours while an idea takes shape. I love it because my story is growing. I hate it because my actual study time disappears. 
          But anyway… that’s not even the main thing.
          
          As some of you may know—or maybe not—I live in Iran. And right now, my country is going through a massive, historic transformation. I don’t want to get too political, but it’s impossible to ignore the reality of living under a dictatorship that controls almost every aspect of our lives.
          I’m sharing this because, as someone trapped by geographical fate, my heart feels heavy—and full—and I needed to let these words bleed out somewhere. 
          
          I don’t know if I’ll be able to post the next update, or if I’ll have to delete this one just to stay safe. 

Hello everyone 
          I hope you’re doing well and that 2026 has started beautifully for you... full of hope, joy, and the promise of reaching your heart’s deepest dreams. I truly wish you all a year of growth, success, and light.
          
          I know it’s been a while since I last posted, at least not as frequently as before when I was actively writing Dawnfrost. I just want to clear something up: I haven’t disappeared, and I haven’t stopped working. Quite the opposite, actually. I’m currently rewriting and editing Dawnfrost from the very beginning. fixing its flaws, strengthening the story, and giving it the attention it truly deserves.
          
          In the middle of all this, I completely forgot to post an announcement and explain what’s been happening with the new story you’ve been reading lately: The Night Executioner. This story is, in fact, the first half of Dawnfrost, now being revised and reshaped. It will eventually become Book One of the Dawnfrost Crown series, which itself is the first series in a much larger universe called The Aragas Legacy. I have countless ideas for many other characters—some you’ve already met, some you’ve read about, and some you don’t even know exist yet. Because of that, this journey will likely be a long one. And when this series finally comes to an end, I’ll probably move straight on to another.
          
          To be honest, The Aragas Legacy is only the beginning of my story as a writer. It’s the foundation for future series I haven’t even fully planned yet. and it may take years to reach them. Writing full stories is very different from jotting down raw ideas, and it takes time, rewriting, and a lot of patience. Right now, I’m working on shaping those ideas into something worthy of being shared with you.
          
          I’ll explain more about what’s going on behind the scenes in my next message—as a writer, this space feels like the one place where I can speak openly and honestly with you. 
          Thank you for staying with me 
          

Thanks for voting for my playlist based on my main character from my fantasy book Naima. I hope you enjoyed it.

Hi everyone!
          ​I wanted to give you a quick update on what’s happening behind the scenes. Currently, I’m right in the middle of my university finals, so things are a bit hectic!
          ​I’ve decided to rewrite and edit Dawnfrost from the very beginning. Looking back at the earlier chapters, I’ve realized there were quite a few flaws and logic gaps—it’s actually a bit caving/embarrassing to read now! :) But I’m working hard to polish the prose, fix the pacing, and improve the story's logic. I tend to focus a lot on details, which can slow things down, so I’m trying to keep that same atmosphere while making the rhythm faster and more engaging.
          ​I’ve finished editing up to Chapter 2, and I’m starting Chapter 3 today. You might see some new sections added or changes in the middle of the story, so I apologize for any temporary confusion!
          ​Regarding Celestined, I’ve hit a bit of a writer's block and haven't touched it for about two weeks. With exams going on, I’m putting it on a short hiatus to focus on the Dawnfrost edits. However, we all know how studying makes everything else seem more fun—so don't be surprised if I suddenly get a burst of inspiration and drop 3 chapters overnight!
          ​I can’t thank you enough for your support, your critiques, and for taking the time to read my work. As a writer, I often miss my own mistakes, so your feedback is truly a gift. I’m doing my best to make this story the best it can be.
          ​Thank you for sticking with me. I hope you enjoy reading the new version as much as I enjoy rewriting it!
          ​Love,
          Ayda

@crazygirlgs 
          Thank you so much for the mention and the kind words! 
          ​And absolutely, I completely understand the amount of work writing a book takes. That's fantastic that you're making steady progress on your first chapter. consistency is the most important thing!
          
          ​ ​Regarding the writing process, to be honest, I mostly write when my mind is cluttered as a way to empty it out. Escaping into the world I've created really helps my mind become organized and calm again. Of course, the writing journey itself can get very messy and chaotic sometimes, and you might get lost in your own thoughts and ideas!
          ​The main reason I was able to write it in eight months is that the core idea has been with me for about ten years, and I've been working on it in my head for a long time. I only recently decided to formally turn it into a book. So yes, having some of the ideas and the general structure ready beforehand definitely helped me move quicker.
          
          And also ...I outline heavily beforehand and try to write at least 1,000 words a day. But honestly, everyone's process is different. Just keep going with your pace! You've got this!
          ​Good luck with your writing journey!
