hey everyone.
          	
          	i wish i was coming back with good news, but i'm afraid things never really go well for me. i'm not sure where to start and if there is even anyone still waiting for an update, but if there is even one person waiting, i don't want to keep you in the dark. so as you might know, after a certain personal event in december, i kind of started spiraling, and had to take a break from writing in january. i just couldn’t focus on anything, had way too much on my mind to spend so much time on born lucky. the plan was to wait it out a little, wait for things to calm down, so my head would be clearer.
          	
          	believe me when i say, i was absolutely determined to get back to writing. even just a few weeks ago, i was still making plans for new chapters, and trying to ease myself back into the rhythm. unfortunately, as you might've guessed, 2026 did not go any better for me. without getting into too many details, over the past three months, my dad lost his job, and my mom was diagnosed with cancer. quite frankly, i feel defeated. i'm not sure what my family did to deserve this constant deluge of horror, but i digress. my own health hasn't gotten any better either, so... it's too much.

@wangzihaosgf i hope things get better for you and they will! stay strong and know that we are here and will be waiting for you whenever you feel like coming back, focus on yourself and your family, sending prayers and hugs, also i missed off limits so much so i'm here to read it again, thank you so much for your efforts and the masterpiece you created, it will always remain my greatest read of all time!! i hope you know how much your work means to me, the connection i got with it, i read it at one of my most difficult time and i think thats why it has more impact on me, the amount of happiness i had gotten from reading each chapter, entering a whole new world forgetting anything else for a while... it was truly special, i just want to tell you that these hard times will pass too, i was in the exact same position last year, it taught me alot of things from a whole new perspective. dont feel angry at yourself for not being able to continue the series, your health and decisions matter and we understand. just know that dark times can never stay for too long,  never lose hope love! Thank you for everything Lucia

if i had to list all of my symptoms it would be longer than the bible and i am, as always, completely abandoned by the many doctors i've seen :/ so uh i'm trying my best to come back and be productive again but i don't feel like i have a lot of power in this situation...

hiii, no problem! first thing i'd say is to wait for a more active period, bc wattpad's kinda dead atm. summer tends to be a bit better! tho that might be different in the non-kpop af sphere, i'm not sure. but the main piece of advice i'd give is to start with a manageable project. don't be like me lol. a reasonable amount of slots, a simple premise, and not too many chapters! writing a whole story is hard, but the shorter the easier. and if that goes well, then you can be more confident when you move onto meatier projects. i made that mistake with off limits, and while i did finish it, i think it's weakened by its length. with born lucky i really tried to tighten things up, and i think (hope?) the pacing will be better for it.
          now the other thing i'd say is to actually go in with a plan! a lot of people prioritize cool concepts over story and end up realizing after like 2 chapters that they don't actually know where their story is going. yes, forms will bring in additional details and plot points, but you can't rely on them entirely! it's really important to have the main frame somewhat clear in your mind, and then be flexible with it when you get other ideas from the appliers. in general i'm a very big outliner so i don't rly know how pantsers do it. but that's sort of my process ^^' writing is sooo much easier when you already know *what* you're going to write
