Hey girly, long time no speak!!! I hope you are doing well!!! I am rereading awakening and chapters four to five makes a jump when she’s in the city to when they are talking about the map in the meeting room with a bunch of people about Ivalea? Is Chapter Four the last you rewrote?
Oops I forgot to let you guys know that I updated Chapter 4 of The Awakening! Let me know what you guys think.
P.S. It’s currently 4:15 am in England. Because of Ramadan my sleep schedule is...disgusting is all I can say lol. I’ve finished eating before dawn and prayed, so now all I gotta do is sleep. But I’m not tired at all...
*sigh*

@ohdanieboi Yes, I am! The reason why I couldn't continue writing the previous version is because my writing style had changed, so I had major writer's block. Including a lot of things happening in my personal life, so I decided to start afresh. Let me know what you think if you decide to read it :)
Chapter 3 of The Awakening has been posted.
Enjoy! And let me know what you think.

Hello everyone, I'm back! After last year's update I was still working on trying to find inspiration again to write The Awakening. As of December last year it finally came back and I have been slowly writing each chapter and really enjoying the process. I hope everyone's been well during this pandemic. I know everyone's going through different struggles during this time, there are people it's affecting more than others. Believe me, I know how hard it's been for me and my family and how hard it is to stay productive during these times. But I'm done with the lifestyle I was leading, it was like the same cycle going on each day in a never-ending loop. I decided I needed to take up a hobby again for the betterment of my mental health so writing at the moment has been a breather from the outside world.
So, I've updated two new chapters of The Awakening and will be taking down one old chapter whenever I post a new one. Let me know how you feel about the changes :)

Hey girl, I’ve been following your journey on The awakening for awhile now to know that you’ve rewritten it a couple times, but I miss you and your writing skills!!!! I hope everything is okay and you are doing well!!!!
@haydollar Thank you so much! I really appreciate it and I'm really happy you still remember my book. For a fresh new start, I've also made a new cover. It took me a while because I'm an amateur haha but hopefully it pulls new people in :)
Wow it has been a long, long ass time since I last spoke to you guys. I just wanted to let you know that yes I'm alive. I've just been concentrating on my final year of university which has now officially been finished!!
I'm so excited to have finished this chapter in my life and really looking forward to the future. Obviously, there are a lot of things going on in the world that I would love to address on this platform. I will be releasing a book filled with these conversations and would love for you guys to check it out and give your input in the comments. I think we need to discuss these issues and it's important to let others know that its a topic that needs to be talked about. There's no need to be afraid to voice your opinions. This site is designated to nurture healthy and mature conversations surrounding topics that are valid in peoples lives right now and what it entails for their future.
With my current novels, mainly The Awakening, I have been re-writing them slowly. I'm finding it really difficult and I think it's because I've matured and the way the novel currently is isn't allowing me to move forward and continue writing when I'm not wholly satisfied with the beginning. So, I'm going to leave it up for now but my goal is a total refurbishment so soon I will be taking down chapters and uploading the new ones.
If you have any questions please let me know. I think I might dedicate a book to recent news and information about what's going on in my life so that it's easier for people to find out.

@Elene2605 Thank you so much! Although I'm not as active as I'd like to be, I do still read every comment or message anyone sends me, so I'm happy to know that you enjoy the novels I write :)
It’s currently 4 o’clock in the morning and I am slowly losing my mind from this stupid assignment!! Been at this for over twelve hours (with healthy breaks I mean come on, I’m not invincible) and still going. I’ve only just gotten near the end and I feel like pulling my hair out.
Kids don’t go university.
Kidding.

P.S. this is also to those late starters. Piece of advice: start your assignments at least a week beforehand...not two days before :/ You’d think by my third year of university I’d have learnt...but no...
Hey, thank you for saying that! I’m graduating university this year so I’ve been busy with final assignments, but I haven’t stopped writing. I’ve actually been rewriting The Awakening from the start because the writers block hit me for like a year and I realised I wasn’t satisfied with the direction it was going in. I’ll be planning the direction of it properly this time and hopefully I’ll be able to complete it by the end of this year :)
@Z_M_Ivy hi i hope you are having a great day and all. I hope you are well also. I hope that you also will not stop writing, you have such a great imagination that i hope that you also continue to write more books. -Your fan
Merry Christmas to everyone celebrating!! And I hope everyone has a happy new year :)

Chapter 27 of The Awakening has been updated after months of being busy and held up with life. Leave some comments about what you think may happen next :)

Hey guys! So I’ve been trying to write as much as I can but obviously with it being the summer break I’ve got lots of family round and Eid is coming up on Sunday!
I’ve had a lot to prepare with my family and currently me and my sister are putting up Eid decorations because this will be the first Eid that my whole family, including my cousins (there’s around 35 of us altogether) will be celebrating together!
So because of all these events I haven’t been writing as much as I would like...But hopefully after let’s say Tuesday I’ll be less busy. My plan was to finish The Awakening in the summer but I guess I’m gonna have to extend it to another maybe two-three months depending on how many chapters I want.
I’ll update you guys on anything else that happens and if you have any questions whatsoever please don’t hesitate to drop me a message! I’m always active (or well try to be :))
