Not me getting notifications about ONC and getting real tempted to come back to Wattpad to join the fun 
          	
          	(P.s. sorry for lack of updates about my mental health and for taking my books offline. I've been reworking Arcane Extinction into a full length novel, but Blood & Brass is on hiatus. I had a rollercoaster of a 2023 but slightly better outlook for 2024)

@IngridPalmerPitt SO with you. SUPER stoked to hear your 2024 outlook is promising. I'm believing for a hope-filled and joy-filled year for you full of the things that bring your life and vibrancy. If you find that one of those things is Wattpad, we're here when you're ready! There's no hurry; only the continual life journey towards rejuvenation and wholeheartedness. Proud of you and looking forward to all epic literary goodness you're sure to produce!

A non-update update for you all. I am still recovering from my mental health crisis, but I wanted to reassure you all that this isn't the end of my writing journey. Charlotte & Agatha won't let go of my heart that easily, and their stories will be resolved. Writing is happening, just not at any fulfilling sort of pace right now, and I don't want to make promises regarding an update schedule that I can't guarantee I'll keep.
          
          I hope you're all good, and I look forward to diving back into all your wonderful stories soon!

@IngridPalmerPitt I'm so freaking proud of you for sticking up for yourself, for fighting for yourself and your wellbeing. What a beautiful and tender demonstration and self-preservation, self-care, and self-love. I'm rooting for you, honey. You can do hard things... you WILL get through this. Praying for you, championing you, thinking of you, and sending you like seven air kisses. Writing is here when you're ready!

Hi all. Had a little mental health crisis over the weekend. Obviously that had an impact on me entering ONC Round 3. Doing okay now but not going to be very active for a spell while I work with the appropriate support teams to get myself back on an even keel again. I'll be finishing off my book club assignments for the week and then taking a break. All my love to you guys, looking forward to joining you again in this wonderful world of fiction soon.

Arcane Extinction made it to Round 2 of ONC!!! To celebrate, have a cheeky short little chapter featuring the 1920s Arcane version of Google Maps, a slightly grumpy Belle, an excitable Archie, and yes, you guessed it MORE revelations for Agatha! (Someone should really give this girl a break and by someone I mean me and you know I absolutely will not.)
          
          Check it out here:

Chapter 10 of Arcane Extinction is up and I could write a whole side-novel about the character and location we meet in this chapter (and one day I might lol)
          https://www.wattpad.com/1334913251-arcane-extinction-onc-2023-entry-chapter-ten-the
          
          I actually updated this two days ago, but I completely forgot to pop an announcement up! 
          
          Round 2 ONC results are out either today or tomorrow. I really do hope to get through, but I will continue to update even if I don't! I should have another chapter ready to post tomorrow, and I've got three nearly ready in draft, which will be up by Sunday and uh.. a few more chapters left to write this week.
          
          If I do get through Round 2 there's going to be a scramble to the finish line to be ready to submit next week for sure! Luckily my husband is going on a "boy's weekend" so I'm going to hunker down and hyperfocus on writing!

If you've just received a load of votes from me, it's because I've been reading and commenting and forgetting to vote! If I've been commenting on your story, please know that I'm always intending to also vote for the chapter I've read, I'm just super forgetful (the perks of ADHD) so feel free to drop me a DM to nudge me!
          
          I literally hate the thought that I've offended anyone by not voting!!

Chapter Nine of Arcane Extinction is up! 
          https://www.wattpad.com/1332961246-arcane-extinction-onc-2023-entry-chapter-nine
          
          The real will-they-won't-they love story of this year's ONC is between the word count and me. Will I or won't I sneak under the 40k limit?? Who knows???
          
          There will be A LOT of updates happening over the course of the next nine days guys. Hope you're ready for the most regular updating I will ever do in my life.
          
          Also PSA, my mental health has taken a bit of a beating this week, but I'm still pushing on through to make the deadline! Replying to comments, on the other hand, has been less of a priority but please know that I am reading them and they make my heart so full!

Hey all, this is a "no update" update. With the end of ONC only two weeks away, I'm hunkering down and sprinting to the finish line with 13k left in my word budget and six chapters left to write. It's going to be a close call! 
          
          Once ONC is done and dusted, I'm going to be spending a couple of weeks reworking my outline for Blood & Brass so that I can get back to a comfortable posting schedule. I expect I will have a further update for you on that in mid-May.
          
          ONC will not be the end of Arcane Extinction! The world of the Arcane is so rich with stories that I cannot let it go that easily! I'll be extending AE into a full-length novel, and I have plans for a novel set in the same universe, but I'm keeping the details under wraps!
          
          How are you all getting on with your ONCs?

@IngridPalmerPitt best of luck to you also! :)

@MiriamElade Thank you so much! I can't believe how close the deadline is! Amazing that you only have two chapters left to go though! My original plan was to be finished by the 19th so I could do a couple of weeks of editing if I'm lucky enough to get through this round, but I know I'm going to be right down to the wire now. Best of luck to you :)

@IngridPalmerPitt Ooo I'm so glad to see that Arcane Extinction will be reworked into a novel! I have read a bit of it and oh how I wish I could binge it but time is my enemy! I am looking forward to reading the novel version! I am 2 chapters away from the end of my ONC and then I have to edit. It's very nerve wrecking with the deadline so close and other things in life demanding my attention, that's for sure. Sincerely, your silent fan haha :P
