Hey guys, life update :)
          
          It’s been years since I was last regularly active on here (since covid, I think). I sort of got caught up in life, then studying. And now I can’t believe that the summer before I leave for my first semester of uni is almost over…
          
          I never really gave up on writing, but I also haven’t been giving it my all. Every few months I came back to Wattpad and decided to start on ideas I’ve had for a long time. But I never ended up finishing any of the stories I started because I never really had the time—I preferred to relax for a bit at the end of a long day instead of writing.
          
          That being said, this summer I had more free time than usual, so I finally had the time to tentatively start writing again—and realized I’m finally at the point in my life where I still enjoy it and also have enough time to do it more often.
          
          I still don’t know what I’ll write first (because there’s dozens of ideas floating in my head), but I really hope to get a good head start before uni starts! I’m not sure what my schedule will be like after that, but I do think I’ll still find the time to write, even if it’s not as much as right now.
          
          So, I guess this is sort of an I’m-still-alive-and-interested-in-writing update lol.
          
          Also, you might’ve noticed my profile is a bit empty right now (I think I always had at least one story published in the past). So, yes, I’ve deleted all my past works and that’s because I’m just not satisfied by their quality anymore—or some hadn’t been finished and I’m just not interested in continuing them atm. However, I’m sure I’ll post another book at some point (hopefully in the next few months!). I just know I’d like to fully finish the first draft before publishing it, so I can get new chapters out quickly and not stress over deadlines. 
          
          Anyways, how have you all been? And as a sidenote, have DMs just disappeared on Wattpad??

hi panda miss you so much haven't talked in forever! if you see this even 3 years in the future send a quick hello!

Im back!!!!

Welcome back!

I’m officially back on Wattpad, so I’ll be online every 1 or 2 days just like I used to!
          
          At the moment I’m working on writing MFD, but I’ll probably finish (or at least almost finish) the whole book before starting to update. “Buried Secrets” is still on hold until I regain interest and finally finish the book—sorry guys.
          
          I hope to finish MFD by the end of the summer because after that I’ll be very busy, but I have a feeling that’s probably not gonna happen.
          
          I’m also going to finally finish reading some books I started before I left. A lot of them have been updated, some even finished, so I know I have a lot of reading to do. After that, I hope to read some of the books on my to-read list!
          
          Anyways, I hope you’re all doing good!

Hey guys! :)
          
          My first final was today. I came on to inform you all that I will be back to writing as soon as possible (late June or early July, probably) but I’ve also got some very awesome news!
          
          My Fallen Demon has been chosen to be featured by @StoriesUndiscovered on their reading list “Into the Abyss” for the whole month of June! I’m glad I logged in today—this was a very nice surprise after sitting a 3-hour exam. This is my first feature ever, so I’m super thrilled!
          
          Good luck to anyone else who has finals at this time of year!

Hello Dazzeling_Panda. This is a random question I (Robin) had. I was reading your very awesome story Buried Secrets, and I noticed the last chapter was dedicated to a writer known as Danai_Domashi. Would you mind explaining to me who he/she/they is/are?

I’m back again—not for long, though. I’ve got two things to say:
          
          1. I won’t be submitting MFD for the next round of ONC. I’m at the 25K word mark, and I’ve realized although I have rushed the pace so far, I’m still not going to finish under 40K. It’s just not enough for me to incorporate all the character development and action. I’ll be continuing the book, but it won’t be completed by tomorrow and it won’t be a novella—it will be a novel. 
          
          2. My finals begin in a month, therefore I’ll be on a semi-hiatus from now on. My schedule will be packed, so MFD is on-hold until further notice (I’m hoping to finish it in the summer) and I’ll also be scarce on Wattpad. I’ll try to read the books I haven’t finished yet, but it’ll be done at a very, very sluggish pace.
          
          
          Sorry for not informing you guys earlier. My exams end on June 15th, so the next announcement will probably be on or after that day.

Hey guys, sorry for being MIA again. I got COVID, and yesterday I felt…like hell. At around 3pm I flopped on my bed and didn’t get up until 9 or so to go to the bathroom. I had a sore throat and a high fever, my head was killing me, and I was cold and shivering even though I set my air conditioner to 29 degrees, or 84 in Fahrenheit for you Americans.
          
          On the plus side, I’m feeling better today (so far, at least). I hope I’ll get some writing done today and continue reading some books I’ve started—I don’t have much else to do since I’m confined to my room :’).
          
          Also, it was an awesome surprise to find out that MFD passed the second round of the ONC—I’m now progressing to round three!! I hope I get to finish and submit the novella on time! I’ve written a few more chapters already and I’ll be publishing them soon-ish.

OMG CONGRATS ON 600!!!!
