**Hi everyone,**
It’s been a while since I announced anything here—let alone published a chapter! I’m sorry about the silence, but life’s been busy (though good) to me. During my absence, I actually finished a side project: a novella. Unfortunately, it won’t be coming to Wattpad because of copyright issues, as you probably guessed.
On top of that, I’ve started writing a new project that I plan to traditionally publish in the near future.
So, what does this mean for **IRON AND FLAME**? Well, I still fully intend to finish the book—and maybe even the whole series. But for now, I’ll be playing around here with some underdeveloped stories that I think will be fun to write, though they won’t be part of my main writing career. I hope you understand!
As for when I’ll continue **IRON AND FLAME**—honestly, I don’t know yet. The story’s been on hold so long that I’ve kind of forgotten the world I created, so I need to refresh my memory before moving forward. Please bear with me.
On the bright side, I’m pretty active on Instagram where I share updates and slides about my current projects. I’m also planning to start a website someday—no exact date yet, but soon, hopefully!
That’s all for now. Thanks so much for sticking around. I appreciate every one of you!

# ⚔️ ANNOUNCEMENT: *IRON AND FLAME* IS ON THE CAMELOT HIGH FANTASY READING LIST!
I’m beyond thrilled to announce that *IRON AND FLAME* has officially been added to the **CAMELOT High Fantasy Reading List** on Wattpad! ️
For those of you new to the story, here’s a quick look:
> **One Crown. Two Claims. A War That Cannot Be Won.**
The death of King Adame Leafvale shattered the realm. His daughter, **Aalina**, scarred by grief and guilt, returns to claim the throne that’s rightfully hers — only to find a court of deceit and betrayal, where every ally is a potential enemy.
To the south, **Britius**, bound by an ancient oath and haunted by a blood-soaked past, struggles to unite the Etheri and claim his own crown. His path is paved with impossible choices and dark magic.
But in the shadows, an ancient enemy awakens. His thirst for vengeance is older than the kingdom itself, and he will stop at nothing to see it burn.
*IRON AND FLAME* is a story of power, betrayal, and bloodshed. In a realm where loyalty is fleeting and trust is a rare commodity, the cost of the crown may be higher than anyone can imagine.
---
Being added to the CAMELOT list is a huge milestone, and I couldn’t have done it without **you**. Every comment, every read, and every theory you’ve shared has brought Aalina, Britius, and the kingdom to life.
To my loyal readers — thank you for sticking with me through every twist and turn.
To new readers — welcome to the storm.
This is just the beginning. The war for the Thorn Crown is far from over, and the kingdom will burn before it’s won.
If you love stories with high stakes, epic battles, and morally complex characters, *IRON AND FLAME* is waiting for you.
Let the war begin.

Hi readers
I've decided to put IRON AND FLAME on hold as I'm in a deep hole with that story, ideas are not coming in at all and I don't seem them coming in soon. I'll continue reading and posting updates about my self care journey while trying to find the right inspiration to continue IRON AND FLAME which is no doubt by June or July which puts a big hole in my plans. I had planned to have the book done before mid-year but life has other plans right?
Also I'm working on a story that has been simmering in my head for a while, yesterday I reached the first milestone of 10k words which are specifically 12,009 words in total, I'm writing chapter three–not on Wattpad but on Reedsy, I plan on querying this WIP once it's done and polished which means it's nit coming into Wattpad, never! Sorry but the thieve's are a guild in this site and the creators are doing nothing to stop them so I won't put the work which I will be truly proud of here so someone can steal it and make it theirs.
But I'll still continue to read here, on occasion, and post about my self care journey but that's just about it. Well good writing then, I suppose.

Happy April Fool's Day
Today has been hectic, I'm trying to be happy as best as I can but there some people whom I'd like to squeeze the life out of them, really. Do they have to so annoying and irritating, I swear to God I'll be arrested for murder by the end of the week
Also Grey Monday went terrible, we couldn't find the perfect movie so we ended up watching Stranger Things and after bickering and arguing all night( I'm drained because we slept at four am after finishing season four, hell! I even stopped watching elite because of Stranger Things! And I need more, why did the cast have to be so perfect? Like why?
Anyways, after Stranger Things I'm thinking of watching The Expanse or some other thing that will entertain me more than Elite because season 4 seems to be about sex, sex, and nothing but sex
So tell me about you?

It's Grey Monday y'all
What's Grey Monday?
Well me and my friends do this every thirty first of march of the last Monday of march where we all wear grey clothes, watch movies with titles that have grey, or characters thay are morally grey or a character name with that's name grey, but book I read they don't so they're out. We would eat food coloured grey too but Seven Lords no, I would puke all over.
My morning run today was great really, I enjoyed it so freeing and relaxing. I also decided to publish the next chapter which I had finished long ago but wanted to stack them first before I actually published but I decided to publish away as I've hit a writers block. Not actually a block really but I just can't find the right way to start the chapter, you know the perfect opening line. Also I've been going through the manuscript Seven Lords know it's gonna need a heavy revision and rewriting by the time it's done so it can be perfect and I'm dreading the thought of it, but also excited to finish this book.
Considering the way it's going it might finish at 150k words or 175k words and that means longer chapters, the last one will be the longest in the book that for sure I know and I think I need to change the title, I don't know but IRON AND FLAME gives it a kinda ya romantasy vibe so I was thinking of something like
*A Conquest of Kings
*A Crowns Gambit
*The Crown of Thorns
Between these titles I don't know which I like best but somewhere in those lines, can you help me choose the perfect one?
Anyway here's the link to the newest chapter, or the newest-oldest if that makes sense

@neoniridescent I really hope I do, I'm not much of a big take on different things but I'm willing to try though
yukishan777
Today I did the most scariest things I've done in my life, like ever.
I deleted my Facebook account. Hooray!
I know, I know to some of you this means nothing at all but to me it's a step forward in my self help journey. Recently I've started showering more( more than once a week or unless I'm going to school) and been trying to be happy as much as possible. I know some of you think it's impossible, it's not it's just difficult and I plan on renovating my entire life that by the end of the year I want to see how many people will be with me when I finally come in to myself.
Tomorrow I will start working out, set a good writing schedule that will work for me, try to improve on my grades and no make excuses anymore because while I'm making excuses life goes on and it doesn't wait for anyone and I just got one to live and I want to make the best of it.
Very soon I'm gonna start going to support groups for LGBT, as you know I'm not gay since I don't like labelling myself but I'm definitely not heterosexual. When do I come out? Probably when I'm as faraway from my mom as possible and financially stable or I'll be living under a bridge or be inside a coffin before finishing the talk. And I think it's actually working guys, for one I didn't wake up with a knot in my chest or suddenly stress over something that I couldn't control, for once I slept peacefully and I plan to keep it that way.
Shout out anyone on Wattpad with LGBTQ character in their stories, I say thank you because yor characters helped me and still are helping me become a better me. Thank you all
❤️️

@yukishan777 Aw that's great to hear! Not sure about the staring lol, maybe people can sense your shift in confidence/mood? I get you though, I hateee getting stared at in public. Debate team sounds fun as well! And for uni: you're almost done with high school so just keep pushing forward! It was def a big change going from high school to uni but I'd think you'd really enjoy it.
yukishan777
@neoniridescent I would say miserable, as I usually do but in fact it's great, I've never been better. Though I wish people would stop staring, suddenly they've started staring so much that I feel undressed. I've also joined the debate team, and hoping they give us an interesting topic. I wish I was in uni, I just want to start working already, of get out of my mom's as soon as possible at least
neoniridescent
@yukishan777 Dang, it sucks that your run got disturbed but on the bright side, rain at midnight while watching tv is always a vibe! Also thank you for asking! I’m in uni/college and for this week, it’s pretty chill (but that’s cause I *just* finished the last of my assignments which was hellish lol). Final exams start soon but rn that’s a problem for future me. How about you?

CHAPTER 23 IS COMPLETE
Yay, I finished writing this last night and I just sat and looked at the word count admiring myself. 8603 total words for chapter 23, massive right?
I know some of you are used to the Wattpad standards of 1k-3k words in most stories and mine is a daunting task to take on. Some of you might be asking yourselves why don't I just reduce them. Well I can't. It's not about the word count for me but making myself as alive as I possibly can, making a reality out of a fantasy and I just can't condense that into a sloppy 1k-3k words that doesn't satisfy what I need the book to cover and what I need to be told. Cutting the descriptions would be good but that also means it will be less immersive than what I want it to be so you're stuck with a monster of 8k words of a fantasy chapter and as the story progresses it might increase or decrease. I will depend and when I finish I may go back and revise some earlier chapters making them more satisfying to me and the story of course because I'm not the creator of the world just a visitor who records the events happening as much as I can.
Last week was an amazing writing week, slow but amazing. I'm crossing my fingers that this one be amazing too. Also who's watching Elite right now? I need to vent like seriously hard right now.
Happy Reading and Writing

I wrote 3k words this week, hooray for me. Also has anyone seen the anxiety trend? It's making me wanna do the dance for The Shadow Rising because oh my god I finally remembered why it's one of my favourite series in WOT also how do you focus on audio books because I've tried listening to Sword Catcher by Cassandra Clare and uhm I can barely get into the book unless I'm reading and when I read I tend to zone out and not hear anything so, I need training sessions on that department.
Also what books to add to my TBR, any genre goes for me as long it's got compelling characters and plot
