Hey guys! 
          	
          	I can finally say it, my exams are officially over! After three intense weeks of nonstop studying and stress, I’m relieved to be done with them. It was tough, and that’s why I haven’t been as active here as I would’ve liked, but I can confidently say it was worth it. Everything went well, and now I can finally shift my focus back to writing and interacting with all of you ^^
          	
          	I’ve really missed being here, and I can’t wait to dive back into my stories. I’ll most likely be posting an update tomorrow since I don’t think I’ll be able to finish an entire chapter today, but stay tuned! My goal is to finish Light A Flame next week and stay consistent with updates for my other books as well. I know some of you have been waiting patiently, and I appreciate that more than you know.
          	
          	I also want to apologize for not being very active on this platform. I know it might have seemed like I disappeared, but I was actually more active on my Instagram, where it’s easier for me to stay connected and interact with everyone, even during busy periods.
          	
          	That being said, I’m really excited to be back, and I hope you all are too! I’ve got a lot planned, and I can’t wait to share everything with you. Hope you’re all doing great, and thank you so much for your patience and support.

@Renlyye  She did say that but with her other books that she had to update, it was hard to find time last week to finish it. Don’t worry, LAF will be over the second you know it :) just be patient with her, she has a life as well outside of wattpad

Hey, how have you been? I have a quick question about Star Boys. What’s the age gap between the characters, or is there none? I just want to picture it better. Also, another question— is the Joshua book going to be very dark, or not really? That was a question I forgot to ask on Instagram.

the8buddy

Hello there! I’m doing great, I’m actually working on the next chapter of Starboy right now. So, Ruby has just turned 20, while Mingyu is 25. As for the book about Joshua, yes, it’s going to be very dark, maybe even darker than Inferno Hearts. It’ll delve deep into trauma, mental health, medications, and the reality of life inside a rehabilitation center. Expect a heavy atmosphere, plenty of triggers, and a raw, unfiltered look at these themes.

hello author! just wanted to come here and say i love your stories so so much and all of the chapters are so beautifully written  the drowning scene and the part when Ara finally told them what she was going through in LAF made me cry alot  
          
          i'm so hooked on LAF and FTLY and after seeing that you're back here, i'm really looking forward to how LAF ends and how the storyline in FTLY will progress!

the8buddy

Hey love! Thank you so much for this message, it means so much to me. Knowing that my stories resonate with you, especially those emotional moments in LAF, makes all the hard work worth it :) I’m so grateful for your support, and I promise to give LAF the ending it deserves while taking Forced to Love You on an exciting journey. I can’t wait to share what’s next, and I hope you’ll love every step of the way!❤️

If only you knew how much impact your writing has on me. This is the best news I’ve heard in months. I started reading your stories and found solace and comfort. I want you to know that people look forward to your story, people love you adore you and admire your work. You should always remember that. 
          
          I am so excited for what’s to come. Thank you for making these little changes to hundreds and thousands of lives.

Hi! This is such a sweet message, thank you for the beautiful reminder :) You should know that I also look forward to each and every one of you when I share a new chapter because your thoughts and support mean the world to me. Knowing that my writing brings comfort and joy to so many is something I never imagined, and I honestly can’t find the right words to express how much that means to me.
            
            Thank you for being here, for supporting me, and for reminding me why I love doing this. I appreciate you more than you know.
