It’s 5 AM. I should be sleeping. I really should. But here I am, still up, still typing away, working on my book. The manuscript of Marked by Fate is getting the final polish it deserves. Every word, every sentence, is being dissected one last time. It’s exhausting, sure, but also exhilarating. The end of this part of the journey is finally in sight, and I can almost taste it.

So, here I am, still awake, putting in the work. Because that’s what it takes, right? Late nights, caffeine-fueled brain power, and a healthy (or not-so-healthy) dose of dedication. But what am I working on? A lot, actually.

I’ve been finalizing the back cover of the novel (which, by the way, looks amazing), and I’ve even created the logo for the Countdown Control Agency. Oh, and I threw in a Latin motto for them too—just for fun. You won’t know what it is until you get your hands on a copy of the book, though!

But this dedication, this lack of sleep, isn’t just about staying up late because I’m a glutton for punishment. No, it’s about creating something that I truly believe in, something that I want to share with all of you. And so, the late nights continue. The work doesn’t stop until it’s perfect.

Now, onto something fun... While I’m here, working on the final touches, I’ve been thinking about the next step: getting you all even more excited about Marked by Fate. I know that once the book is released, you’ll be as invested in Christopher and Noa’s journey as I am. So, I’m planning a series of posts that will dive into spoiler-free character bios for our main characters. But don’t worry, I won’t be giving away any major plot twists! Instead, I’ll be sharing the little details that help bring these characters to life: their favorite colors, what music they’re into, the foods they can’t live without… you know, the kinds of things that make them feel like real people.

So, keep an eye out for these posts! I can’t wait to share more about Christopher, Noa, and the rest of the gang. You’ll get to know their quirks, their likes and dislikes, and maybe even feel like you’ve known them for years.

There’s so much to do, and I’m here for all of it. Because every late night, every word written, every little detail added—it all brings me one step closer to sharing Marked by Fate with you.

Let’s keep this journey going! Stay tuned for those character bios, and don’t forget—there’s more to come.

And now, if you’ll excuse me, I’ll go try to get some sleep.
