    Haha it was a huge adjustment, but a good one too! I’m just gonna wait and see what God has in store for me. So I’m studying film   one is a research module where you get to pick your topic, and the others are animation and music in film. I’m really liking them so far!

    Oh man that sounds like an awesome major!! That sounds like so much fun! What’s your favorite part?

    Haha funny story – my friend and I tried to go see a movie but it got cancelled cause of the weather. So we just studied together instead (I know I know, I am such a prude lolll). But I was keeping an eye on the weather on my laptop cause I was terrified than any moment it would be a really bad storm and if we leave too late we would get injured or something. That didn’t happen of course thank God.

    Whew! I’m glad you all got off alright! IKR, friday night was the worst storm I’ve ever been in!

    Thats a wise decision to make, tbh I should stop revealing so much about my other characters cause someday a clever reader is gonna put two and two together and work it all out before I’ve even published the darn thing  I’m planning a very big twist for my series, but it won’t be as exciting if I don’t stay quiet lolll

    LOL that’s such a mood! XD I’m constantly terrified you all will figure out the whole plot before reading a word XD I’ve already spoiled one or two minor reveals XD

    The constant struggle between ranting about your plot and trying to keep it a secret because it’ll be more fun XD

    Yeah thats so true! I can’t wait to read more about Aydin and Liorah, I’m really loving them cause I just feel like I understand them. Mayra is quite similar to Aydin in terms of misbeliefs, she believes that there is no such thing as good people, her own survival is what matters most, she’s not responsible for anyone/anything else, she also believes she’s a bad person and incapable of good.

    I’m so glad you like them!! Oohh, Mayra sounds facinating!!

    In my opinion, even if a character does terrible things, as long as I understand their motives and why they think the way they do, I will literally praise their character arc till the day I die haha.

    E x a c t l y XD It’s hard to write but awesome when it’s executed well!

    Yeah that’s super interesting that her misbelief boils down to wanting to be like her brother. Honestly the more complicated a character the more I love him/her XD

    Exactly! I’ve been writing Liorah as a protagonist for almost two years constantly, but I keep discovering new things about her!

    I think one of the biggest issues is that she sees Gavril as perfect, which comes from his own desire to live up to expectations. Inwardly he’s terribly insecure, but Liorah never sees that because she has this perception of him. It takes a lot of time to break down XD

    So I’d really love to know where you’re at with writing your WIP Rose   are you in the middle of writing your draft or just working on characters? For me I’m definitely just working on character arcs and personalities.

    Okay, lemme see, I finished the second draft of the first book (I completely rewrote it XD), the first draft of book 2, and I’m halfway with the first draft of book 3! I’m working on that now, and it’s making good progress!

    It’s the first book where Aydin has a POV and he’s so much fun to write! He’s cooperating really well while Liorah is balking like a lame mule with a toothache. I have to drag her through the plot, which is quite unlike her. Usually, she’s the one dragging me. In the wrong directions but still XD

    When do you plan to start writing, or haven’t you decided yet?
