I had a dream. I actually had a dream! This is the third one.
          	1st was baymax, white bus, road to nowhere but so fresh and unpressed that the bus had to stop and everyone got out. I had got out too and everyone was looking around helpless. I think baymax was the driver.
          	
          	2nd dream I even journaled but I don't remember anything now.
          	
          	These 2 were back to back when I was purposefully breaking my rem cycle to catch them like 3-4 years ago.
          	
          	Then there was one yesterday where my dad was a doctor (he is not irl). I don't even remember the background details of that picture but my sleep was so light or perhaps so deep but I believe I sleep talked.

I said I was going to me on a hiatus until Jul 30, 2026.
          
          But it's not going to be that long. I'll be back on my birthday, 15th March, 2026.
          
          Writing has kept me sane and oh boy, do I need to that again. I'll be back to narrative heavy writing, improving and editing heavily instead of pleasure writing. So expect RH to take a back seat as I edit and bring to you the best version.
          
          And more focus on the non romance books I have. I know most of you are romance fans, but what is any life without a bit of love. So please, open my books, even if there is no romance, there will love, every kind of it.
          
          So while I get back to writing, that does not necessarily mean I will be uploading. Very few updates but I'll be open to discussing the art of writing and craft of editing.
          
          I will post my scenes and ask for feedback, and I'll be open to editing your exerpts/scenes on my conversations board. The idea is to improve the narrative and not focus so much on plot or character arcs.
          
          Keep writing.
          Never lose your inner world.

@pranavitummarakoti I feel you.
            further 2 platforms is just not worth it. Instead putting all efforts into one is better.
            I got to check PP out then. Coming to mine, I already put them up here for years now. My main project is A Run Home. It pretty much does not have any activity but whatever lol

@redderraven so reall! I agree w you 
            Rn I don't have opika to publish my books on some other platform,along with here.
            But maybe some day I will
            Cause fantasy/ contemporary and parallel world stories also don't have a reach here *inserts upside down smiley*
            My book ' In a parallel World: Parallel Professions' is not getting much reach!
            Only 1-2 readers are interested. For them,I'm not deleting. Otherwise I would've....
            Waiting for your adventure book to be published here.
            You spoke about it to me, long back that but wanna write adventure.
            I'll support that book even if no one else does!!!!
            Sometimes even 1-2 are enough even though it doesn't feel enough

@pranavitummarakoti girl TT
            
            The only reason I turned to romance because that was the only way to gain any meaningful audience on this platform D:
            
            In fact to be honest, I put my books on royal road where adventure and fantasy are more hyped and got bullied lol. I got a long way to go... I mean I laugh about how badly my writing was bashed there sometimes, of course, very legitimate guidance... but it became hard at one point and I turned to wattpad.

Mood swings are real.
          
          It's so hard to speak up when I don't like something...
          
          I kind of found this song for self-solidarity... It's been keeping me company for like 2 months now? It's named "Inochi ni Kirawareteiru (Hated By Life Itself)"

          The lyrics are quite beautiful. I think everyone whom life didn't give enough room to grow will relate to them.
          
          idk.. I just feel lonely. Either grew up too fast to forge proper human connection, or stopped growing somewhere unknowingly and started wanting to disappear.
