...And that's a wrap. Yes people, A Children of Fire and Sun has been finally marked complete (well, at least the novella version is) and submitted to the 3rd Round of ONC.
          
          What the hell was this ONC season? It went by too fast, and perhaps was one of the most emotionally turbulent period of my life. Let's say I learnt a lot. Alongside that I wrote a story that I am quite proud of, especially given that I had given up on this plot too many times in the past and she'd countless tears while writing it. I don't know how far this will make it in the contest, but yeah, I really love CoFaS. It's my darling. 
          
          Anyhow, I am tired and there's a heatwave going on in my hometown. So your girl will be a break for around two weeks. After that I plan to bring some news regarding the novel version of CoFaS and some other stuff. Stay tuned ;⁠)
          
          P:S A big shoutout to @empiresofwater for sticking around and supporting me throughout this ONC season. Your love means a lot to me. Thanks a bunch! 
          
          Have a great day/night & see you all soon in another story. Bye ❤️

My little baby is proceeding to Round 3 of ONC and I couldn't be happier! A big thanks to each and every single one of you who have supported my journey in any small way that you could. I am utterly in your gratitude. 
          
          On a brighter side, CoFaS (Children of Fire and Sun) will be wrapped up in another five chapters or so. Well, at least the novella version. Can't wait to expand this big baby to its full potential ;⁠)

"They raced their steeds across the forest floor, causing plumes of red dust to rise in their wake. It was relentless, their march, as they leapt across small brooks and travelled ever closer to the heart of the principality. Even then, in that morning, with the palace just a breath away, none of the riders were at peace. Not even Maysa." 
          
          — Chapter 18 of CoFaS is out! Let me know your thoughts in the comments. 
          I just published "Chapter Eighteen: Maysa (Domhnall)" of my story "Children of Fire and Sun: The Rebellion (Novel Version)". https://www.wattpad.com/1423425512?utm_source=android&utm_medium=profile&utm_content=share_published&wp_page=create_on_publish&wp_uname=Queen_of_life_Heba

Hey guys! I am here with an important update about what you can expect from me this year and the upcoming years that I hope to be here on this site. It's a bit long, and I hope you won't mind. 
          
          Firstly, it's my fourth anniversary on Wattpad! It was actually on 19th March but I had a lot on my mind then, so I never announced it. Nevertheless, I am grateful to have met so many amazing friends, readers, and supporters in the course of these four years. It means the world to me! 
          
          Next up, those of you who are reading CoFaS (A Children of Fire and Sun) you can expect mostly daily updates from now on. We are just twelve chapters away from calling it a close for the novella version and I am eagerly waiting to expand it to its full potential. I hope you are as excited as I am:⁠-⁠)
          
          Other than that, I will be writing and completing another novel-length story. For now, I will keep it mostly under wraps. Once I have written about 30% of it offline, then only I shall start uploading the story here. For now, know that it's a horror story and you all are kind of familiar with it ;⁠)
          
          This is the pattern I'll be following from now on — one novella, and one novel per year. 2024 will be an exception in the sense that both of the stories are going to novels. However, I am extremely hopeful that I will be able to finish both these stories and satisfy my readers. 
          
          Onto my reading plans. I will slowly be reading the R4R books (books listed in the reading list 'altair'). Other than that I want to catch up with "Miss Otis Regrets" by @Marcafewrites and "An
          Ballad of Inferno and Ruin" by @Adriellereina. 
          
          So that's it! Thanks so much for your support ❤️

@AnnamitaMuscaria Thanks! And yeah, I too need to catch up with so many good books once the last few chapters are done XD

"He moved, he talked, he worked. Yet was he living? No. His heart had stopped those weeks ago when his father had upturned the entire balance of the realm in a single stroke. He did not know how he was supposed to go back to the life he had known before. It seemed unfair somehow."

"On any other day, Maysa would have remained engrossed in her reminiscence. Her mind would not be averted till Remus or someone else summoned her, saying it was time for them to venture out. But it was the clatter of footsteps and angry voices that jerked her out of her reverie rudely."
          
          — Chapter 16 of CoFaS is out and it is on the lengthier side. Things have reached a boiling point. Let me know your thoughts in the comments.
