          	Okay, I know I said that I'm supposed to be back, that updates are trickling in, slowly but... steadily? That was over 2 years ago.
          	
          	I've been assessing the situation for some time, and it's safe to say that, I'm going to take some time to sit back and figure out where do I want to go with Manhattan Demons. I'm going to learn some plotting craft and all the writing skills along the way, because I had always been slow at this, and two years of backlog in life is a lot.
          	
          	A lot had since happened. A lot that is bad. Enough that most of what I wrote were in extreme stress, and it coloured my writing. To me, the second book of Manhattan Demons, Maleficium, has already been a shaky concept held together by strings and glue. To polish the chapters was a challenge by itself. Suffice to say, I hadn't polished the chapters so much as breaking apart the whole thing and melted them into a close relative of Frankenstein's monster. Functional, yes, but horrific.
          	
          	On top of taking an extended hiatus for my story and your eyes, I'm also taking it for myself. Like I said, I had two years of backlog in EVERYTHING. There's a lot of catching up, and surprisingly, not all of them are writing. That included figure out where the hell I am right now.
          	
          	So, thank you for waiting, thank you for the understanding, and thank you for reading my stories, it means a lot to me.

@andryare hey! Its been a while. I'm rarely on here anymore myself, but I wanted to stop in and say I hope that you're making it through whatever you're going through. I have had a really hard time writing with all of the stuff going on in the world too. Don't be afraid to take all the time you need to revamp your stories or rekindle your love for writing. You come first! :)

Hello peeps, hope everyone's doing good! Updates are back, sort of. Although I'm still a little busy at the moment, I'm uploading chapters that no longer require further scrutiny. 
          
          So, the second chapter of #2 Maleficium is up, and I've updated the first chapter with a little "bit" of polish. I'll try to update as soon as a new chapter is ready.
          
          Sorry for the wait. Hope you'll enjoy the new chapter. :)

@that_lost_angel thank you again! New chapter is out, by the way, but I won't blame you if you want to wait for more chapters to be ready before reading them in one go. ;)

Hey everyone! I'll be away from Wattpad for a few months. Four, maybe. Which means based on my prudent estimations, I won't be back until June 2016. The only thing that I'll allow myself to do in Wattpad must not take me more than 15 minutes, and everything in Wattpad can take me 3 hours at least.
          
          Why? Because I have my finals in 3.5 months and it's already getting crazy (I'll die if I don't get crazy now). I have about 5 weeks to finish half of a year-long project. Bad time management, I know. I'm still trying to learn.
          
          Remember what I said about posting Book 2 of Manhattan Demons latest by early February? Good news, the book is out together with the first chapter! But it's more like a teaser. Feel free to wait for more chapters (updates in June 2016), which is what I'll do as well. ;)
          
          Have a good day and be awesome!

Haha, I was almost about to conjure something by saying Andryare after reading your About Me! 
          Regarding the message below below me, do you take critiques? If no, never mind, have a good day!

andryare

@Whylea Don't worry, I don't *think* there's anything to be conjured... I think. :p
            
            Yes I do! Very much delighted! :D Just so coincidentally I am still coming up with a rough plan on where to edit so it's even merrier.

Thank you for you critique, I've taken everything you said to heart and will be making some changes before posting my third chapter. as a result I'm switching my chapter delivery day two Sundays, instead of Wednesdays.
          
          Thanks again! :))
