Hi! It's been a long time since I last posted something here. To be honest, I couldn't really find the time to be active on Wattpad like before. Life happens. College is taking up most of my time. I'm learning to write more than I did yesterday. And I have so many reading lists on my Kindle, too. So, yes... It's difficult juggling all these things at once. Although I still check my Wattpad account from time to time, I can no longer visit the app almost every day.
          
          Two weeks ago, I left the Wattpad Ambassador program. Like mentioned, so many things are happening right now. Volunteer work is exhausting. I also don't happen to have a lot of free time on my hands anymore—which explains this whole message thing going on.
          
          But the good news is... I will not stop writing. I'm still learning as a writer! There are so many things I need to improve on my craft. Which is why taking a long break really helps me clear my thoughts. This include having new story ideas... and just taking time to appreciate the beauty of writing, really. I'm currently in my third year of college. As a Creative Writing major, I always make sure to give enough focus on my studies.
          
          And taking another long break from Wattpad is one way to make this work.
          
          I'll be checking in from time to time—mainly to check the works of my Wattpad followers, to see how wonderful their stories are. For now, I'll have to complete my degree, write short stories... and honestly just binge-read on my Kindle.
          
          Please leave me a message if you want to reach out. I'll always be here!
          
          I love you all.

Last May 16, my Jack Russell terrier of 11 years, Mosley, peacefully crossed the rainbow bridge. It still pains me to think about him. But writing this short book made everything a little better.
          
          I'm sharing this with you because I want everyone to know how much of a cinnamon roll he was. He filled my years with endless joy and affection. This is the least I can do.
          
          It's available below.

Who's in the mood for a small party? I am! Traver Manor: A Short Horror Story is out now! What a day! If you're available, I really wish you can lend me 15 minutes of your time to read this. The book can be accessed through the link below. Enjoy!
          
          Story Synopsis
          
          March of 1926. After the notorious death of Delbert Hollman's estranged wife, the city of Logan seemed to have turned its back on him---refusing him every job opportunity he could find in the lonely state of Utah. Desperate to make ends meet, he stumbled upon a man who works in a local barber shop across the street, who, through Hollman's pleading, later helps him land a job as a caretaker in an abandoned manor.
          
          It was far from his knowledge that this position of employment would turn out to be more different than what he bargained for. Along the opportunity given to him comes a haunting string of horror, murder, and death he didn't anticipate---all coming out from the appalling manor he was meant to take care of.
          
          Content warning: This short story includes a series of detailed paragraphs about violence, crime, and murder. Please read at your own risk.

Hey, Wattpad friends! I'm so excited to announce that I'll be publishing a new short story tomorrow! This project means a great deal to me since this is my first story after writing Once Upon a December. If you have been following my activities here, you would know that I've suffered from a horrible writing slump. So I basically spent most months reading books to get my creativity back.
          
          "Traver Manor: A Short Horror Story" will be out everywhere. Tomorrow. I can't wait for you to read this.
          
          It comes in three parts---The Hunt, The Secret, and Madness. I wish you guys have enough space in your library to add this little guy. I'd really appreciate it. Plus, the plot twist is waiting for you, too! 
          
          Stay tuned!

To my amazing followers, I have some happy news! After a month of endless trainings and online tasks, I'm now a proud Wattpad Ambassador! It feels surreal to be of service to the first online community who embraced my craft as a storyteller.
          
          I owe this not only to Wattpad, but to the entire community who made me feel loved, seen, and appreciated. I promise to give it all back by performing my duties as a new ambassador... and writing more stories in the future!
          
          Since I'm officially badged up and all, please feel free to message me if you have any concerns or questions that are related to Wattpad. More than anything, I would love to help and attend to your needs. I love you all. ❤
