Hey everyone,
          	I want to apologise firstly for turning into a ghost these last few months. I didn't intend to be gone for so long, especially when I know how many of you look forward to new chapters as I post. The truth is, between posting on here and doing college work (I study English lit and creative writing) I really burnt myself out. There were points where I was updating twice even three times per week. I found myself writing on here and as a result my grades suffered. I sort of got to the point where I was just writing for the sake of it and realised I wasn't enjoying it anymore. I was struggling to put chapters out weekly and was never fully happy with the work I was producing. So I made the decision to take a break from updating, which was only supposed to be for a month or two. 
          	And then life happened. 
          	I won't go into detail here, but just know that I love this story and am passionate about these characters and will return to writing it when the time is right. Thanks to those who messaged to check if I'm ok, sorry for only getting back to you all now. Your words are much appreciated x
          	
          	Another Note:
          	
          	This won't apply to everyone, but I do hope it reaches those who need to hear it. Wattpad gives readers the ability to comment/ reaction to every line/ paragraph in a story. In some cases, this can be good. I always appreciate words of encouragement or seeing readers reactions to exciting points in the plot and relationship developments. Most writers on this platform are posting their work for free, because they're passionate about it and appreciate our readers who share that passion. However there are many readers that leave rude and explicit comments. Insulting characters, spamming thirty unnecessary comments on one chapter or even commenting things unrelated to the story.
          	PLEASE THINK BEFORE YOU COMMENT.
          	If it's going to be constructive or helpful, please feel free to leave a suggestion. But if you're just going to call Emelia a "dumb bitch"? Please don't.

@StorytellingPenguin Hey! Trust me, I was thinking about you and the story for a few days now. And then today, I came across your message. Just know that, it's completely okay. Nobody comes first before our own selves and our own happiness. And I'm really proud of you for choosing yourself over everything. Everything can wait, but your mental satisfaction and well being is atfirst. And as for the negative comments: some people are full of shit. And nope, I'm not sorry for the crude language. They forget that, Even characters have flaws, just like us normal human beings. Most of them are too insensitive to care before spitting bad words to the authors. So you know it's best to just push that stick farther up their ass, and ignore their whole existence. That's the thing that they can't tolerate the most- being ignored. So Queen, you're great. And nobody, NOBODY, can change my mind on that.
