Chapter 3 of The SpellCasters' Quest is up.
          	
          	I've been feeling fatigued for a while now, with headaches on a daily. Hence my low/inconsistent wattpad activity. But I'll drop in when I can.

@swayski It is supposed to be. But, you never know, it could go on longer if necessary to give it a good consultation. You know? Would you like to give it a try?

Hi! I hope you’re doing great. I’m not sure you’d remember me but we used to do r4r about two years ago until I disappeared off wattpad. I saw your announcement and thought why not say hi and apologize for leaving you hanging. I hope you’re doing great. Take care!

@berrypie12 Hi! I in fact, do not remember > < but thank you for reaching out. This was real courteous of you. Which story of yours was I reading?

A'ight, so, I've posted the first chapter of my latest project 'The SpellCasters' Quest, where we meet our FMC Miria as she finds herself in a nightly predicament.
          
          I had hoped to release this story earlier, but I fell into a creative slump, somehow. I suppose life outside wattpad got quite draining. But I'll be striving to post chapters weekly over the weekend.
          
          Blessings✨️

@rikaaraji468 Honestly, your story isn't going anywhere. You don't have to punish yourself for not writing as much as you expected. In my case though, TDRB is 2 yrs old now yet still not complete.

@ShigureShinyGaze Thanks. Heaven knows I'll need it.

@Jthiya Ah yes 'winning her back' does fall the same category. It rightly describes the second part of To Charm of a Knight ^ ^
          
          Are you writing something offline? I am, too. I had hoped you'd read my upcoming story while I take up your Wattys entry. Rather than you embarking on 90 whole chapters > <

          I often watch book reviews and movie reviews. These days, not as often but still do. Some of them I agree with, some I don't agree with. Some are learning experiences while others feel like a product of hate-reading/hate-watching.  Something that occasionally came up with these reviews was pursuit of love.
          
          When does persistence (in love) become harassment? How does a suitor know that the one being pursued, rather than playing hard to get, is a subject of unwanted
          advances/affection?  Some people say that in the game of love, the most persistent guy will win. How will he win?
            -He wore her down until she eventually *settled* for him.
          -Because he was persistent, it showed he was serious about her, and thus she came to trust and accept him.
          -Through his persistence, she eventually came to appreciate him and return his affection.
          
          Can unrequited love truly be returned because someone is persistent in their advances? How does one tell the difference between unrequited love and 'playing hard to get?' for lack of a better term. Where does one draw the line between wooing and imposing? These questions eventually cross into consent territory, where the object of affection rejects her suitor (once, twice, over and over) but the guy simply doesn't get the memo! Which can translate into not respecting her decision. 
          
          This blurry territory is something I had to work through while writing what I call the second part of To Charm A Knight, where Raziel and Claire's dynamic undergoes a shift. Yes, it was really...*ReALlY* fun to write, but also challenging. Well, y'all will probably let me know your thoughts on this.
          
          Okay, rambling over. See y'all in a comment section or conversation board somewhere.

@rikaaraji468 Sure. Will do the same with your novel. See you in the comments section. Soon... ❤️️

@Jthiya I didn't even know you were reading!  I can understand not finding the time to read; it's not like Wattpad is our entire life. I'll take up In His Arms this weekend, because I'd prefer to finish at least one current read before I take up another one. Again, good luck with the contest and see you around ✨️

@rikaaraji468 It sounds good. Yes, I'm writing that "winning her back" story offline. Actually, I started To Charm a Knight, but I got really caught up in this Wattys entry story and the hectic circumstances of my life. I literally stopped reading for a while as a result. However, I completed and turned in the In His Arms story for Wattys today. That's a lot of work completed. My username will appear frequently in the comment sections starting tomorrow. And after reading the first section of your To Charm a Knight story, I was undoubtedly captivated. I'll see you tomorrow in your comment section. ❤️
