Hello everyone. It's me. It's been nearly a year since I've updated anything. And I don't know when I will update anything again, honestly. I love writing, but my life is a mess right now. It's not impossibly hard to find time these days, but it's become exceptionally difficult to have any productive time at all. Owing mostly to that, even my mental health has not been great. The atmosphere in my house has darkened quite a bit and everything just leads me to get disheartened to do anything fruitful on my end. I think I have lost my path, sometimes, like I've gone astray... There's no answer to any of it. So, I won't ask you to be patient. However, I do love my stories and ideas to death and I will never forget about them. I still think of new ideas and note them down. Sometime in the future I definitely can see me coming back to the platform to write again... Till then, I hope you won't hold it against me. I know few care. Fewer are going to read this. I just wanted to he honest with myself. I have been ignoring my responsibilities, and I just thought suddenly, that I should come out clean and just say it, admit it.

Hey all. There won't be any updates this month sadly, as I have not been able to get the planning done yet. I really want to do this right and not rush through the process, and with needing to give almost the entire day to college activities, it's really not been easy. I hope you understand.

Two new chapters would be posted tomorrow! I may update again soon. Not too sure though, since my college reopens on the 18th again. Second year begins! But I've planned ahead a bit so I should he alright if I can manage to find the time and determination. Here's hoping to the best!

The new HIVE chapters are out!! Enjoy! :D
          3+1 interlude.

Guys! I'm excited to say that I think I have this month's batch of chapters done! It's 3 chapters and an Interlude (the longest one so far). This update may seem shorter than my previous ones, and it is, but this is important to put out right now as I have realised I need to plan a lot from hereon out. Most likely we are at the halfway point or beyond it of this part, and I would like it to go out with a bang! So, I need to thoroughly plan it. With that said, I would be updating the chapters tomorrow after some careful revisions. And for today, I would start replying to the comments that have piled up. And maybe read a few chapters that are due!

Sorry for the silent treatment. I've been away for a few days from Wattpad. I just wanted to enjoy this rare vacation to the fullest and I've been writing, albeit slowly. Once the batch is done, I shall post, most preferably by the end of this month. I also started reading an old Asimov novel called The Stars, Like Dust. And I picked up the Words Of Radiance where I left off and am almost at the very end. The story just shot off at the last two parts. It has made me SO excited and awed that I am likely to analyse and dissect the inner workings to the best of my ability to figure out how Brandon Sanderson achieved what he did.
          
          Well that's about all of it! I'd reply to all the comments I haven't when I make the next update. No reading on Wattpad till then as well, I'm afraid.

As I have said before, my first year at college has ended this June 9th and since then, I've been back to writing! Last night I wrote an entire chapter in one go, and if I'm not too overestimating myself, I might finish another tonight! I've really been in the zone with my mind afresh at last. So look forward to updates! I can upload the chapter that's already been completed, but I'd rather stick to my monthly upload of an entire batch.
          
          So for those of you still yet to catch up, this is a reminder to hurry up! xD

The 6 new ∆ chapters of The Hive are out now! I really pushed through the last two chapters and wrote them in two days or something like that, which is crazy given the word count I achieved. This has really been very exciting and it broadens up the scope of the story so much now. Hope you guys hold the same sentiment. 
          
          Enjoy reading! :)

New update coming soon! 6 new chapters :)

Here me out! I have three new chapters ready for The Hive, that I might post this month as a batch. Or, I may write another batch and post both at the same time. I think the latter would work better as it's been a while and a lengthier update is due. So maybe I should take a bit more time to work on it. I've been hardly getting the time to work on ideas, let alone to write but somehow I'm pushing through and these might need more revisions than other chapters in the future but I'd better get a draft done than not finish anything at all.
          
          Let me know your thoughts. Do you want a shorter and quicker update, or a lengthier update that might take another month? It might take less, who knows?
          
          My first year in college ends early this June so I may find some good quality time afterwards to work on the story. All I really need is a good long stretch of hours to get the writing done, but all I get is gaps in between college work, which is hardly enough to get the body of the chapters done.
