DEAR READER,
          
          Yes, you can guess by my Caps Lock being accidentally on that I'm very excited to share this news with you <3
          
          First and foremost, I won a Poetry Contest, "Saint Val's '24" hosted by @WattpadShortStory with my poem, "tortured hearts" ❤️✨
          
          Also, I won another poetry contest hosted by @TheHappyWriters with my poem "home?" !!
          (links to be provided below)
          
          Plus, apart from poetry, my teen fic TDOP also won FIRST PLACE in the Celestial Nexus Book Awards hosted by @lupe6583v and came SECOND in the Rose Gold Awards hosted by @Rose-Gold_Community ! >.<
          
          I would like to thank the Awards hosts and judges for thinking my words worthy of such an honour and also thank my new readers who are tuning in, reading and voting on my books everyday❤️✨
          
          A big thank you to all of YOU, because without YOU I wouldn't have been able to make it here T^T <3
          
          Fret not, I'll be coming back with new updates on my stories and my poems in May, so stay tuned! :D
          
          With love,
          Rose.

Dear Reader,
          
          Checked into this account as I received an exciting message in my inbox from one of the official Wattpad Ambassador Profiles: @StoriesUndiscovered !
          
          My first Wattpad novella, "The Downsides Of Popularity" has been featured by StoriesUndiscovered in their "Be THAT Girl" reading list >.<!!
          
          Feeling delighted for all the milestones TDOP has managed to cross in the past 10 months since it's been alive and running on Wattpad <3
          
          If you haven't read this Indian Teen Fic yet, you still can before the 2nd book in the series drops in July-August! :D
          
          With love,
          Rose.

Dear Reader,
          
          I had been offline for a while as I was busy with my exam preparations, but scheduled new poems of my poetry anthology to keep you engaged and now— I'm feeling so proud and a bit emotional to say this— IT'S COMPLETE!
          
          “all the stars that died” my poetry anthology has been marked as complete with a total of 28 poems in it's collection. If you haven't read it, fret not! You can binge from start to finish and vote & comment if you like them <3
          
          Thank you so much to everyone who jumped into the boat with me as I traversed new waters of deep poetry ♡
          
          However, this ain't the end of my journey on Wattpad as a tortured poet! You can read through the End Note of the anthology to know more about my upcoming collection, scheduled to be published in May! ;)
          
          Also, you can save the current anthology to your library & add it to your reading list, for I will still be updating it on a not-so-regular basis with new poems that didn't make the cut to be included in the anthology. I'll be calling them as “Outtakes” and it's just a fun section of poetry for the ones who cared for my words as much as much as I did T-T⁠♡
          
          With that, I must get back to my studies now! I'll make sure to go through your recent comments & thoughts on the new poems as soon as possible! Can't wait to read them >.<
          
          Until next time, p.a.c.e. !
          
          With love,
          Rose.

Are you taking readings requests?

Thanks for checking out The Clockwork Princess! I hope you’re enjoying it so far <3

Dear Reader,
          
          Persuaded by yet another poetry prompt, I decided to take part in this year's Saint Val's contest hosted by the Official Wattpad Ambassadors <3
          
          You can read my new poem through the newly published book “tortured hearts” &/ as a chapter of my existing anthology “all the stars that died”, both links will be provided below :)
          
          Also, when I joined Wattpad, I vowed never to go with the trend of academia aesthetics but because one of my favourite singers is releasing a new album with the said aesthetic, I had to design this theme >.<
          
          Do let me know how the new theme & refreshed bio, looks and feels, in the comments below!
          
          With love,
          Rose.
          
          P.S. the links !

          This journey has been filled with ups and downs, tears and happiness & now I feel a sense of accomplishment after completing this story that you all have loved so dearly <3
          
          TDOP has reached 1.01K reads as I write this, and also won FIRST PLACE in the Teen Fic category of Tricolour Triennial Awards 2023 hosted by @IndianLegion ❤️
