Smiles - Hell Rider's MC #3 -

Authors note

So, hi.

It's been since March since my last update (it's now September for those that didn't know lol) and I've gotten a couple comments and messages about how I'm doing, and I wanted to give you guys a update. So if you're not interested, this has nothing to do with the story so you really don't have to read this.

With that being said, these past several months have been... something else. I'm doing better than I was, which isn't saying much honestly but that's okay, and I've been working on the next chapter in small bursts so hopefully it won't be too much longer before that's out.

However, that doesn't mean updates will be more consistent. They won't be. I have lost a lot of motivation for things over the past couple years, and writing became one of them. I still don't want to abandon the story, I want to see it to completion, but I don't know about continuing the series I planned.

Mentally I'm doing a lot better. I thought I was going to hit rock bottom and end up somewhere, but I got through it. And to anyone who feels that they are in the same situation, please seek help. I didn't, but I quit the job I was at and moved, and while I'm not happy with where I'm at now I've opened up a new career path for myself and I'm trying to see life in a more positive way.

I'm working up to going to therapy, but that's a process. A lot of areas in my life have gotten happier over the past month or so, and somedays are easier than others but I'm trying. But Wattpad is the last thing on my list pretty much of things to fix honestly, because once I figure out everything else that's wrong with me I'm sure I'll naturally come back.

But I'm not kidding when I say please seek help. My mental health got terrible to the point where it's caused physical problems for me, and I'm still dealing with the aftermath/consequences while still trying to keep myself from falling back down where I was again. I know other people have been in the same spot, and I was too scared to get help for myself so I have been relying on myself but PLEASE don't ignore anyone you may have that can help you.

This note was kind of all over the place, but I hope the general message came across that I'm okay and that maybe there will be a update soon (by soon I mean maybe by October, could be into October depending). But things have been looking up, and I'm hoping it stays that way.

Thank you to everyone for your patience, and thank you to everyone who wished me well and asked how I was doing. I've been on Wattpad a lot, I do read on here quite often so if anyone has book recommendations I'm open to them (lol), but that means that I really have seen your comments and messages, I just haven't had a lot of mental strength to respond because I didn't think that many people would actually be that concerned. But hopefully for those that asked, this was enough, I'm not sure if I'll start responding to anyone if I get any general messages and stuff, but if anyone needs to vent/rant to someone you're more than welcome to message me I promise.

But yeah, I'm alive haha. Thanks again for putting up with me and actually enjoying my story! I started the series in high school, so I didn't really have hopes of people reading it. But I appreciate you all so much!!!
