Hi, everyone. I know I've been MIA for a while now, and I have to say I'm touched that so many of you have reached out to me either here or via Discord. It really brightened my recent dark days. :)
Unfortunately, after 3 months of fighting Neuroendocrine cancer, my father couldn't conquer his illness and passed away not too long ago. This means that not only am I heartbroken to have lost him, but that my family needed me more than ever.
I have already shed my tears and have spent all the words when it happened, so I don't have much more to say besides that this hit me harder than I could've ever expected.
ATM, I'm trying to wrap up my final assignments, prepare to go help my family and be together during the holidays. It's an eerie feeling going back home when I know he won't be there any longer...
In the meantime, while pushing through this obnoxiously intensive Master's (because, throughout all this, I somehow got drafted into the selection for the excellency programme) I finally managed to write again.
You know how they say, 'There's no better writing time than when you are having your heart broken and in misery,' or whatever. I just made this up.
From now on, I plan to prepare my chapters in advance to hopefully post without a hiatus (or at least not a long one; I might take breaks for my mental health now and then). So far, I got around a month of content, and all the chapters have been scheduled.
So, if any of you are still here, Backstreet Angels and I will be back on January 4th!
Let's read each other again soon. <3
'Til next time,
Reea.
