hi hi hi, just popping up to give a quick update on my stories (both future and the two on hold) and just life in general. as of right now, i am not planning on continuing wonderland or villain any time soon. i used to be able to start a story and finish it with little to no struggle with motivation, but lately i've just had none at all. as for future stories, i have a couple in mind that i really want to write, but the motivation isn't there. i work a job five days a week with split days off on fridays and sundays. it's exhausting. it drains the life out of me, so when i am off all i want to do is lay around and do nothing. it's just gotten to the point where the thought of writing feels like a chore, which makes me sad because i used to really love it. i've been doing a lot more reading - REAL books that i can hold, not fanfictions. i have friends now. i might get a girlfriend (there's this girl at work who i've had a crush on for almost 4 months, and i can feel that things are going in the direction i want them too. she's on vacation rn and she asked me before she left if i wanted her to bring me anything back, and my mom said that that was her way of marking me). i feel no need to escape into fictional worlds through writing, which was originally why i started in the first place; because i was lonely and the shows/movies i wrote fanfics for brought me comfort. i'm not saying that i'm gonna stop writing forever. stranger things season 5 is coming out later this year, so lovergirl and mirrorball will be coming back (which i'm really excited about, i miss writing brooke and wren). writing is and always will be something that i enjoy, i just need time to fall in love with it again.

@smvtten i'm currently reading "she gets the girl", i started it yesterday and i'm already halfway through it. i also highly recommend "the seven husbands of evelyn hugo" and "the girl with the silver eyes"
