I had to skip ahead to find out if you were really abandoning us forever before I could read the rest, haha

So...so...so.... Like you're gonna live real life? Hurray! Good for you! Real life is always better anyway! And inventions?! Why have I not heard of these before? This is...bittersweet. Well, if you ever need a break from writing and want to read epic, exciting fiction, you know where to look! ;-)

LOL yes, real life in a very fantastical way, but real life, nonetheless. I haven't shared much about my inventions, haha, I wouldn't be surprised if few people know about them, but maybe I'll start sharing them on here!

I'll definitely look for some Noble fiction as soon as I have time; I'll need inspiration for my own stories! ;D

And yes! Share your inventions! My great-grandfather was an inventor and he used to let me hang out in his workshop with him. He invented and built a motorcycle with the engine in the front wheel, he invented the fish ladder for dams, and he was working on a hovercraft concept when he died. I’ve always wanted to pick up on that, but all his research went to his son, my great-uncle and to his family which lives 800 miles away.

Oh my, that's awesome! I would have loved to have met your great-grandfather. I will definitely start sharing my inventions, although mine are currently more on the chemical side. I am an alchemist! πŸ€ͺUnfortunately, I haven't had many opportunities to experiment with mechanicsβ€”though I would love to.

Ah, then your experiments, instead of going clank-bonk, go clink-BOOM!

So, then the next questions must be: do you have both your eyebrows? All your hair? All your fingers?

Man you had me sacred there for a minute Abi girl, i mean, i know there's other connections to you, but still.... Substack would NOT have been the same without you. But after reading the WHOLE article (after three attempts haha)

I can say that I'm very proud of you, for your learning and growing, and your decision. And definitely for your awareness of your own self. I think this will be a good thing, and look forward to seeing your next projects......

And i wanna see your inventions! 😱

Hehehehe I think I did scare a few people... I'm glad you finally got to read the WHOLE article and discover the truth. I think I could have written something a bit shorter, but oh well. πŸ˜†

Thank you so much for your kind words, Juliette. They're truly inspiring and encouraging. I'll definitely show you my inventions at some point in the future... are you ready to see them, though? 😏

I nearly fell out of my seat when I opened my email, "Don't do that to me!" However I am glad you are putting your writing and your real life before Substack. I had a lot of trouble remembering to live and not get stuck on things that were happening to people I've never met. :) I hope you have a successful year! Thanks, -Ella :-)

Awww poor Ella! I'm glad to know you'd miss me if I really left, but the good thing is I won't! Thank you so much for being here and for your kind wishes, the same to you! Interacting with you is such a joy. Never lose your sparkle! ;D

What can I say? Faking my death and disappearing is my passion. 😌 But of course, the world can't live without me, so eventually I have to come back :D
