Came back here after so long and oh god, I have so much work to do regarding my books. And as if 5 incomplete published books were not enough, I already have some great ideas for 3 more books! 
          	
          	I can't promise anything because life has a way of making sure I never fulfill my promises, but I'll try to update a chapter of My Days, Story through my eyes, Hidden Mysteries and Time-pass Time Travel. 
          	
          	The upcoming chapters would be interesting though, that much I can say because I've been spending a lot of time plotting them. Anyways, how is everyone? People who are online, please drop a Hi, would love to have a conversation!

Hi, how are you? I hope you're doing good. I just wanted to ask you, are you planning to update the next chapter of The Story Trough My Eyes and My Days In Indraprastha, right? Cuz i'm always waiting for the next chapter for both story, i wish to know about the whole story. I hope i'm not giving you too much pressure. Have a nice day

@ sssm2569  Aw, thank you so much for your reply! ^⁠_⁠^
            
            No need to apologize at all. Your studies are the priority, and I’d much prefer you take the time you need to write a chapter you’re truly proud of than push yourself to rush it. I can really feel the care and effort you pour into your writing, so I’m genuinely looking forward to whatever you share next. I’m wishing you all the best with your academics ( I hope everything goes really well! ) 
            
            As for what I’d love to see in both books, I’m especially fond of the scenes that highlight the bond between Subhadra, Krishna, and Balaram. Their sibling relationship is one of my favorite parts, and I’d adore seeing more warm, caring, and playful moments between the three of them not only in Dwaraka, but also whenever Krishna and Balaram visit Indraprastha. I think it would be so wholesome to see them spending time together despite living in different kingdoms, showing that their bond remains just as strong after Subhadra's marriage.
            
            I’d also really enjoy seeing more of Subhadra’s personal growth and the role she plays, particularly during her time in Indraprastha. She’s not just Arjuna’s wife, but also a princess of Dwaraka and Krishna’s sister. It would be beautiful to see how her wisdom, kindness, and the way she was raised shape the Pandava household and even the kingdom itself. Giving her a meaningful role of her own would make her character even more inspiring and layered.
            
            But of course, these are just small hopes! I’ll enjoy the story no matter which direction you take, because I have full trust in your writing.
            
            Thank you again for replying. Please take good care of yourself, don’t overwork, and best of luck with everything! I’ll be here, patiently waiting for the next chapters whenever they’re ready :)

@nebulascape Heyy! I'm fine, thank you for asking. I hope you are doing good too! 
            
            Firstly, I'm so sorry for not publishing in a long time. In fact, I'm equally waiting for everyone to read the upcoming chapters because I did put in a lot of effort and thought into it. But the issue is that I've been so caught up with my academics and my obsession with publishing a perfect chapter is really holding me back.  I will try my best to publish the next chapter of both the books really soon (within this month). And please don't worry, you are not giving me any pressure. In fact, I'm really glad and happy to hear that people are still waiting for the upcoming chapters of my books. By the way, is there anything you'd like to read in particular in both the books? I could incorporate that:)
            
            You too take care and have a great day ahead!

Somebody needs to block my access to the published chapters because I just spend all my free time editing rather than writing new ones! T-T
          
          A serious question to all the writers: How do you guys overcome the urge to edit and actually write new chapters?

@sssm2569 a very interesting question indeed. I have edited my trilogy over and over again. While writing itself so many times. And after the books were completed - I edited them thrice and honestly still I feel it can be made better. I still find grammatical errors in some places too. 
            
            But I push myself to finish writing the book first and then do the editing so at least we have a blueprint in hand. We can always then go ahead and, make changes to always make it better. Develop more plots or reduce something. 
            
            In my case , it started as a single book then went on to become a trilogy.
            
            I hope it helps in some way <3  You'll do it.

Going through a very dreadful exam phase right now. Can't wait to be back here and start writing again! Got a lot of ideas, and I'm just going to put it out there without stressing on its perfection! 
          
          Will be done with exams this week! And you guys can expect regular updates from next week! :)
          
          How is everyone doing by the way?

Readers ask me why I haven't updated the next chapter of My Days in Indraprasth yet. It's not that I don't want to, but the fact is that I'm really scared to publish it. The current track is pretty dark and though I mention the reasons for every action and reaction of the characters, I'm so not sure of how the readers will perceive the character doings and plotline. I went all out while planning the track in my head, but the writing process is really making me reconsider whether it's okay and acceptable to have such a plot with the Mahabharata characters.
          
          That being said, you guys can expect an update before the next week. (I'm just gonna shut my mind and publish it! )

subhadraarjun

@sssm2569  Go ahead and publish it, dear. I don’t think it’ll be a problem for me at all. It’s not like you’re pairing the real couples of the Mahabharata with others or adding too much adult content the way some people do, writing whatever they like in the name of fiction.

That's normal. I found a name for it when readers intentionally come in with their own expectations to a book two words: 'stealth expectation' when the brain of reader makes up things that are never meant to happen. I get those comments consistently. 'Stealth expectation' was defined by Brené Brown in one of her books alongside its companion: 'stealth intention' readers have no idea these things go on in their minds as they read stories.
