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.

well, that's probably enough of that. as much as i've enjoyed my time with apply fics, engaging with them as i used to is just not sustainable anymore. i might pop back in here from time to time, i don't know, but i definitely won't be posting anymore. thank you to everyone who read my works, whether off limits or born lucky. it had been a long time since i'd shared any of my writing, and it helped me regain some confidence that i could make something, anything, and have it connect with others. i hope i'm not done creating. thank you, and be well!

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
