From Missrealitybites:

I pro, like all ht need some extra time, 1-2 days, to finalize the plot so I can write this story properly

I will try to publish chapters every day like usual, but if I can't, please understand I alass, so I can write better

I have been writing "The Cursed Prince" for 13 months nonstop every day since January 2021 and now I kind of feel like I need to step away from it for a little while, so I can refresh my mind and return with a sharper storyline

To be honest, writing Rowena's backstory is hard and I actually cried many times In many stories, usually, the tortured souls are the male leads, but here we have the female lead who has such darkness around her and it affected ry and sad for Rowena and I wish she didn't have to go through so much pain and bitterness However, I owe it to Rowena to tell her story as is I hope you understand
