hello lovelies!!
i hope everyone is doing well. i'm just here to tell you that i'm back from my (extended hiatus) and to post a little update. i'm finally done with exams (and currently waiting for the results) so i have more time to do other things and also rest. i haven't been as active as i would've hoped to be this new year and unfortunately it's not going to really change anytime soon. i'll still write SANDSTORMS and see it through for the moment, meaning that all other projects of mine will be on indefinite hiatus until i pick up each one of them again.
i've still got three years left of international relations studies — one year for the current bachelor degree and two years for the master — and though the first years have been pretty rough for various reasons, i do want to succeed and make myself proud at the end, meaning that i need to really focus. however, creative writing has been slowly getting back to me again, after four years of drought (yes, i've been forcing myself to write since 2020, hence the sporadic updates, the lack of motivation and my love-hate relationship with my work). and i don't want to give it up either.
i found recently drafts of a story that i started planning back when i was 12, and i remember each year telling myself that i'll actually write it. i'm 19 now, and i finally want to make my younger self happy and proud, after years of trying to dissociate myself with her. i'd like to look back and tell her that we did it, and that our mind was finally out there, not confined anymore in the recesses of my head. i don't talk that much of my goals and ambitions here, but being a published author has always been one, as far as i can remember.
though i got positive feedback on my work here, and from my professors on submitted work, i never seriously thought of it because of my self-deprecating habit. so i'd like to finally give myself a chance, to actually do it and not have regrets after. [1/2 ]

@adonysiac i hope your studies and the work on your original story goes well, and don’t worry about us, as someone who’s waiting for her last assignments’ grades to come back, it is worth it, i’m so close to graduating and that weight is lifted, knowing i’ll have a bachelors degree at the end is something to look forward to, and i’ll know how much effort i’ve put into it, best wishes for everything in your life and i will happily await any updates you publish <3

as said, i'm not giving up on you nor my characters, because they deserve to see their stories told, to not merely be ghosts in my mind (and especially because of all the things i put them through lol). i'll still publish fan fictions here but at a slower pace to actually focus on producing original fictions.
regarding graphics, the situation won't change until maybe september or even next year. i want to learn to do new things, focus on my drawing skills and actually be better. so, no graphic shops/lottos for the foreseeable future now. however i'll still be available for my mutuals if they wish to request something from me, for whom i'll still be making graphics there and there because this is one of my new love language lol.
but thank you, thank you so much for all the support here on my stories. it really warms my heart to see you actually enjoy bits of my mind with me. you all played a great part in me going back to original production so thank you. i hope your support will still be there, in the present and the future <33
now that wattpad removed pms, my conversation board is still open to all of you but i tend to reply less on here. however, you can still reach me on instagram at @/adonysiac.wp. whether to ask me questions about my work (even the original one that i'm working on), for advices regarding anything or even to say hello, do not hesitate. i somehow find it less daunting to talk with you than people that i know in real life.
i think that's everything i wanted to say.
with love,
izia <33
