Hi everyone, it seems I only have grim updates to share. I will keep this one short because this is no longer about me. It's about my mother and little brother, who my father's family will now evict.
          	
          	The legal notice sent by my father's family requires them to leave their apartment by January 31st. I have included most of the details of our situation in a proper text for the GoFundMe I created. So, please, if you have a couple of minutes to spare, give it a look. 
          	
          	The link: https://gofund.me/7cacbec1
          	
          	Even if you can donate only a few bills or can only share them, it would make the difference between giving my mum and brother a chance to continue their life and grieve in peace and the worst-case scenario.

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.

@randomlygore I am so incredibly sorry to hear about your dad. I can’t even begin to imagine how hard this must be for you right now. Please know that my heart is with you during this time, and I’m here if you want to talk to someone. Take all the time you need to grieve and remember you are not alone in this ❤️

@randomlygore I'm so sorry my darling. May his gentle soul rest in perfect peace. I'm praying for you. For now, take some time to rest, and enjoy the holidays with your family. And of course, if writing helps you, then do it! Just stay safe and take good care of yourself ❤️

Hello my darling

@iburnrice Hi girl, thank you for checking in. I finally came back online for a bit. I'm picking myself up and try to get my life rolling again atm... I'm planning to return fully in January if all goes well. I hope you've been well in the meantime. <3

hey hey! sorry to trouble you, but- since you're my judge for Artistic Genre Fusion category in Artistic Expressions Awards hosted by janefanfics, I wanted to inform regarding my work, "MISSION", the book as such has been taken down because I merged the series into original work, however, the content remains the same. If it's not too much trouble, would it be okay for you to refer from:
          
          https://www.wattpad.com/1466990935-bullet-train-to-murder-onc-novella-%E2%9E%B8-disclaimer
          
          and consider it in the same way? It's the same work, MISSION, but it has been merged to the parent work, "Bullet Train to Murder"
          
          Have a great day/night!
          Sara

Hey, just checking in. How are you doing? xx

torireneeharvey

@randomlygore Aw, hun, I'm so sorry. I just read about your dad. I'm so very sorry. I lost my dad, too, so I understand what you're going through. There's no way to describe the loss of a parent. I'm here if you ever need to talk about it. Take your time to get through this; I'm here for you when you get back or if you need a friendly ear in the meantime xx

First of all, I wanted to thank everyone who reached out to me here or on Discord for the kind words! It comforted me a bit and made me feel like I am not entirely alone in this. ♡♡♡
          
          Fortunately, the surgery went pretty well, and I am waiting for news from my family regarding what will happen now (cause my father is still under medical supervision). But the danger seems to have passed for now. 
          
          I also decided to move the posting schedule from Saturday evening (CET) to Sunday evening (CET) so that I can keep up with my other commitments *cough* like the damned master degree I got myself into *cough*
          
          There was no update this week since my brain couldn't plot and come up with new stuff since I was overwhelmed by everything in my personal, professional, and academic life, but I did work on the existing chapters. 
          
          This means that since my ADHD ass needs to do SOMETHING, I line-edited, reworked, and adjusted the structure of the first chapters and will continue for the rest as well. Now, after reworking the chapters, the story has an improved narration, logical order, pacing, and one or two more chapters. 
          
           I will upload everything this weekend, so don't be scared if you see a lot of notifications. I am just having a mad scientist moment. 
          
          Also, I'm looking for beta readers for Backstreet Angels. If you'd be down to become one, this is your chance to have your input and feedback considered for the story and get early sneak peeks. ;) 
          
          It was a long announcement, but an important one ahaha. Thanks for reading all of this, and I hope you'll like the reworked version once it's out ;)

@LyzDeWinter ahaha you're deffinetly in babes. knowing your writing, I trust your judgement

Hi guys, 
          Sorry if I am not as active as usual atm, but my dad has not too long ago been diagnosed with cancer and today things took a turn for the worst and he's being rushed for surgery and I think I'll lose my mind soon. 
          
          On top of that, I ve been working a lot and stressed so I think I missed one meal too many so this is not helping. 
          
          I'll try to post the chapter in time Saturday, but uhm, I hope y'all won't be too mad if it will come out a day or two later cause idk, I m not in a clear mental space rn. If anything, I feel a strongly nihilistic and beat up by the world so uhm, yeah idk what else I could say... 

randomlygore

Thank you everyone, for the kind words and understanding! It really warmed my heart to read the messaged, and it helped me feel less pressured and understood. ♡♡♡ You guys are the sweetest! People like you make me consider there is still good left in the world. ♡♡
