Hello everyone, and welcome back to Sachi’s Inkwell!
Today, I want to talk about something a little more personal. If you’ve had a chance to download and read my short story Goodnight Sally, you already know it holds a very special, heavy place in my heart.
Writing about Julian and Sally wasn't easy. It’s a story born from reflection on how exhausting life can get whether we are fighting silent battles in our minds or enduring physical struggles that wear us down to the bone. Sometimes, the weight of simply existing feels like too much to carry.
Originally, I intended for this piece to come out during Mental Health Awareness Month, but the timing didn't quite work out. Yet, looking at it now, I realized that reminders to keep going don't need a specific month. Life gets heavy, and it's okay if you feel tired. But please remember this: you are allowed to just exist through it, and your story matters. Just hold on.
If you haven't read Goodnight Sally yet, it is completely free to download right here on the store.
What’s Next?
Behind the scenes, I’ve been pouring all my energy into something much bigger. While my usual novelettes run about 10 to 12 pages, I am currently working on a 50-60 page project titled We Never Made It To Midnight. It is easily my longest piece so far, and I cannot wait to share it with you all.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for the extraordinary love and support. To everyone who helped me with my competitions, and everyone who has been engaging with my work thank you so much. It means everything to have you here.
Grab a copy of Goodnight Sally, take care of yourselves, and I’ll see you over on TikTok and Pinterest for more updates!
Till then,
