Chapter 81 of To Charm A Knight is up!
          
           We take a peek at the aftermath of the battle of the skies, as well as an antagonist's perspective.
          
          An update in two weeks...dare I say I'm getting my groove back one step at a time, lol.

From posting weekly to posting once a month...my, how far I have fallen. I hope everybody had a good festive season/holidays. As for mine...well I barely had time to myself, much less to write. This time of year is always really busy and tiring for me. Now that it's done, I hope to keep posting To Charm A Knight.
          
          Chapter 80 of To Charm A Knight is up; filled with tension and action. The climax is here, and I would hate to keep y'all waiting too long in between chapters. I request you send me some perseverance, motivation and creative energy so I can be more consistent. Heaven knows how BADLY I need it.
          
          Meanwhile, I've also been inspired by my fellow writers on here to write something for the festive season. Everyone was/is moving forward with their creativity, and I felt/feel like I'm lagging behind. It was supposed to be posted before the New Year, but I didn't want to embark on a new project and later abandon it (as I have done before. Many times.) So I'll hold off putting it up until I have completed it. It's a short story with the theme of New Year's, and I'm almost done with it offline. Expect it within the coming week✨️
          
          See y'all in comment sections and message boards❤️

          Talk about soundtrack when writing fight scenes. I just wanna share what i am currently listening ahah.✨

After way too long, Chapter 78 of To Charm A Knight has been posted! Chapter 77 was posted some two weeks ago, in case you missed it. I'm hoping to get back into my weekly posting schedule and into some of your comment sections. So yeah, you'll be seeing me around. Not often, but I'll lurk, definitely.
          
          I  haven't finished To Charm A Knight offline like I thought I would, but I've made some progress with writing it. And that's enough reason for me to return here, I suppose. This story has put me through a lot, actually. When I first got the idea, I intended it to be a quick, lighthearted, wholesome read with some dark fantasy sprinkled in. But the further I fleshed out the plot and characters, the longer and darker the story got. So I started doubting myself, and the direction it was headed. (I'll talk more about this once I finish the book, probably, but I think the state of mind and heart I was in might have actually influenced these darker elements)
          
          Anyway, we're approaching the climax of the book, and I was hesitant to write it because of the way it explores said elements, and how connected they are to Raziel. In fact, I considered cutting a lot of it out, partly because of that, and partly because it's getting lengthy. But something a good friend of mine on here (@ProlixRemedy, hi✨️ ) said stayed with me and kept me pushing through. This isn't my story I'm writing—not really, but my characters’. It's Raziel’s story just as much as it's Claire’s. I'm only the instrument cursed and blessed with putting myself in their shoes. So I'll keep doing that.
          
          On a lighter note, I hope y’all are doing well! Come say hello❤️!
          
          

Hey there, Rika. I just dropped by to say hi, ehehe.❤️✨

It’s high time for you to return to Wattpad land, miss. 

Reference is made to an announcement I made about a month ago. I haven't written since then, and I'm still struggling to. I have the plot outline, and I know what happens till the end, but I can't bring myself to write actual, coherent words. It could be because of the changes in my life, or it could be a 'me' problem, inherently. I'm inclined to believe the latter.  I was fretting last week because I didn't have a chapter to post. Normally, this is enough to motivate me to write; the fact that I have a goal to accomplish. This time, the issue feels deeper. And I think some time away from wattpad would benefit me. It has become somewhat of a god to me, and I don't like that.
          
          I'll be away for as long as it takes me to finish To Charm A Knight offline, which might be a month or so. Perhaps my creative spark will light up before then, perhaps it won't. I just don't want to rush myself, or the process.
          
          To those who have been keeping up with my stories todate—chatty and silent readers alike—I'm grateful for you. I can't guarantee that I'll be back soon, and I don't want to rush myself to return. So I can't ask you to wait, but I hope you'll be around to see the story finale once I come back.
          
          For those who aren't caught up to the latest updates in my stories, it is your choice to either pause your reading or continue. I won't be able to respond to you, but we'll engage when I return.
          
          To those whose stories I've been reading or planned to read, I'm not pulling the plug. We'll hear from each other eventually.
          
          I'll release one more chapter of Swapped Fate: Unravelling probably Monday, complete pending bookclub assignments and then *snaps fingers* vamoosh.
          
          See y'all....later? Yes. Later.

          This task left kindly do it.. 

Chapter 7 of Swapped Fate: Unravelling is up! For the first time, we follow Lea's perspective as she spends some private time with Adrian, resulting in a progressive step that should have been taken a long time ago.
          
          One of my favourite things about writing on wattpad is that I don't have to follow the traditional writing rules. Wait, is there a rule on writing in different perspectives? Not sure.
          
          Anyway, 'Swapped Fate' is written in first person, largely through Mavis' eyes and feelings. This time, I wrote this chapter in third person because I'm not as comfortable and intrinsically connected to Lea as I am to Mavis. I hope it doesn't throw readers off too much.

@rikaaraji468 thank you!!!!! ❤️ that is so so sweet!!! It makes me so happy to hear that!!! Loving the growth we have seen in both of them so far and i can’t wait to read more!!!! eheheh >:D
