Hey y’all!
          	
          	I know I’ve been busy so just a little update about ORAL’s schedule:
          	
          	Lately, I haven’t been online much due to school as well as lack of inspiration and motivation so ORAL’s updates may be delayed or at worst on hold. I’ve been sorting out the plot recently and to be honest, it’s a bit of a mess as there are quite some loose ends I’ll need to tie up. Coordinating everything is definitely a pain. XD
          	
          	Meanwhile, chapter 38 is also currently in progress and hopefully I’ll be able to get it up sometime this coming week. It’s most likely that I’ll be updating every second Sunday from now on. 
          	
          	On a side note, I think lockdown is definitely draining me. Especially on those rainy days when a feel like a sack of potatoes in bed. Anyone else feel the same way? What’s your get go for fuelling up at home? I’d love to hear from you. :)
          	
          	Lots of love and hugs from yours truly!

@Mintaka369 @Watercolors75 Thank you both for the suggestions! I think I’ve definitely taken a break from looking at a screen and instead took the initiative to spend more time outdoors a little. Your suggestions seem pretty helpful too! I’ll definitely be using them to help me slowly ease back into the balance between writing consistently and taking a break. ❤️❤️

@The_Book_Smuggler07 Hi Hazel, I took a break from watt pad for few days...there's so much going on around us so I completely resonate with the draining thing. To center myself, I'm taking it slow. Reduced my screentime, trying to enjoy my bathing time and meal time. Try listening barooq/ classical music or compositions of  nature sounds, specially birds. It is working for me. Maybe it will work for you too. You can also give it a try to aromatic candles or diffusers. Just try to gather your energy. You're precious. I hope you pamper yourself well! ❤ take time and take care!

No worries, Love! ❤️ can’t wait for more updates, but I totally understand how draining it can be in the lockdown! I typically go for a walk around the block or go sit at a park to read (if that’s an option for you, I’d recommend it fully)!

          Hi, hi! I'd love to invite you to one of my first stories, which contains fake dating trope c:
          
          ! ·﹆ Sylie and Derlion had been best friends for all their childhood years. They had been doing every single thing together - studying, singing, playing video games. Friends often teased them, they should start dating. But the worst was just about to come. Derlion's mother wanted to see them going out, and she wasn't the kind of woman who is easy to please. Derlion and Sylie had no choice. They started dating only to prove Derlion's mother how bad a match they are. Unfortunately, they ended up proving the opposite.

@Mintaka369 Thank you and I have. Merry early Christmas and I hope you’re doing alright too. I’ll probably be making a comeback soon. It’s been way too long that I’ve been away and school just ended. :)
