Hi, friends,
I hope those of you who celebrate Thanksgiving had a beautiful, cozy day. I’m really sorry for going a bit quiet lately—I didn’t mean to disappear on you without an update, and I truly appreciate your patience.
I wanted to be honest and share where I’m at: I don’t have Chapter 32 written yet, and I’ve found myself feeling a little stuck on the best direction to take it. I want this next chapter to align properly with what I already have planned further down the line (especially where the story is eventually heading), and I don’t want to rush something that doesn’t feel true to the story or to you as readers.
Because of that, I’m going to step away from Where the Shadows Dance for the next few weeks—not a full hiatus, just a short pause so I can write several chapters in advance, re-center the narrative, and make sure everything moving forward feels intentional and cohesive.
Chapter 32 will be uploaded on December 19th.
My hope is that this small break will help prevent any more pushed deadlines, so I can return with steady updates and chapters that feel polished and meaningful rather than rushed. You deserve my very best, and I hate the idea of disappointing you.
Thank you so much for your understanding, your kindness, and for sticking with this story even during slower moments. Your support truly means everything to me, and I’m so excited to come back very soon with the next part of Ophelia’s journey.
Thank you ❤️
