hi zingxinners and friends!
how's your pen holding up?
as for mine… well, it finally ran out of ink.
i don’t know if it’s for a short pause or a long one,
but for now, i’m setting it down, hoping it’s just a rest, not a goodbye.
2024 has been a year of reflection.
for months, i kept wondering if i should give up this little dream of mine.
with so many drafts untouched, outlines abandoned, and updates delayed,
i almost did.
but i told myself: finish what you started.
and now that i have, maybe this is the right time to take a breath.
for 3 years, i’ve poured my heart into this space
into humory conversations, sweet banters, and bittersweet endings.
into every note passed between characters,
every inner thought you read,
every laugh and heartbreak.
and i’m proud of every bit of it, because i carried it with you.
you — the readers who stayed, voted, commented, recommended,
turned my stories into your favorites,
and gave meaning to every update.
you’ve been the anchor to my messy outlines.
the reason i kept going.
but now, life is calling me to other priorities.
so i’m putting this dream on pause.
maybe i’ll return when i’m ready.
maybe when the stories knock on my door again.
maybe, when it’s still allowed.
and when i do,
i hope you’ll welcome me back.
for now, this is me
resting.
recharging.
and i know id miss you.
i purple you.
always,
zingxi
