Apparently wattpad removed accounts that have been inactive for over 5 years. It... well its a bit strange. I don't care that my follower count dropped but I do care about the people who used to read and love my stories who are no longer there anymore. 
          	
          	So to everyone, if you are still here or long gone, thank you all so much for joining me on this journey. I love you all for choosing to read my stories and I cannot express to you how much I love the fact that you all took time out of your days to read what I've written. 
          	
          	We created a beautiful community and I sincerly appreciate each and every one of you. You brighten my day and even if you haven't been here for years, I still love you.
          	
          	Cheers

@strazydaze it just sucks. I wasnt aware of the purge until it happened so it was a bit of a shock. So many people and stories that will just simply be gone. 
          	  
          	  @VictoriaMurray293 lmao I wonder where that was. 
          	  
          	  @kkp2112 it very well could be. It would have been a rather large change to the site programming and it could have kicked a lot of people out of the accounts. Not delete them but just auto log them out. 
          	  
          	  @Myraa2 no no, im not leaving. This was more of a love letter and a goodbye to the people who used to read my books but no longer do. I had made some good friends through wattpad that I wont see their profiles for anymore. Its a bit sad.

Hi AMLKoski! I have been reading your stories and enjoy them tremendously. I was wondering if you are planning to update “A Handful of Daffodils” story.
          
          Thanks!

AMLKoski

@Nicky1Micky2 so Im taking a bit of a break because I hurt my knee and have been dealing with that. But Im hoping to start posting again in February.

Well written Anna, but then what should we expect.  Thanks for the additional content for “Tansy of the Wylde”.  Love the characters and enjoy their stories.  Had to read it all again. Please do revisit this universe and perhaps these characters in future books. Huge thanks and virtual hugs .   Take care and be well.

@Bxcyted i do have some more planned for it! I put some notes up about it on my WIP profile @AMLKoskiWIP

Did I just put up two more chapters of Tansy of the Wilds, 37 and 38, and adjust the epilogue slightly to reflect them? Yes, yes I did.
          
          Enjoy!

carrt84

I am glad to see you are feeling better.
            I loved the added chapters and if ever you want a second book would be excellent.
            Maybe his family making peace with him , hmmmm

@AMLKoski loved them - thank you. Assume you’re feeling a tiny bit better? Tansy is a lovely light  of joy and I’m guessing her warmth helps you to glow when you’re hurt. Would love more of her and her world if they ever feels right - though feels like it could turn into a huge saga given the backdrop

Hey Anna, I just want to say I'm so grateful that you kept the book *A Cold Wind Blows*. I started on Wattpad in 2011-2012, and I decided to come back after so many years. I'm grateful that you're one of the only authors who still has their books available. Thank you—I'm so happy!

Okay! 
          
          Knee update for yall!
          
          I had my physio. She suspects I hurt the muscles helping hold my knee cap in place because it likes to move to the right a bit when Im moving my knee. Which is no bueno. So I got a new brace that supports my knee cap and keeps it from moving weird. She also suspects there is damage to my vastus medialis closer to the knee (which I suspected all along but that's neither here nor there.)
          
          So I have a treatment plan and some exercises. But the first thing she told me. I want you to move it, not use it. So Im technically not to be weight bearing on it because she believes the compression is agitating all my ligaments and tendons. So Im currently on crutches now. I have to use the movement of walking (heel toe, heel toe) but not actually weight bear and Im not gunna lie, that has helped with the pain. Not all of it but it has helped. 
          
          So she wants the ligaments and tendons to calm down and the pain to lessen and once that's better, she is wanting to then work on that muscle in particular. So i have some exercises and have to practice walking with my bad leg but not actually walk on it. I wont know more of the treatment plan for my muscles until we get there but Im happy Ive got a place to start!
          
          So i gotta keep resting, gotta do my exercises, and gotta stop using it!

I hear you on that from from a complete ACL tear 3 yrs ago now. Fully healed no surgery but it took a year. Take care and listen to your body and the physio sounds like a good one! All the best

This is really wonderful to hear. There are some really good doctors out there hiding amongst them. I'm so glad you found one. Keep up the good work

Hey guys, 
          
          I feel bad taking a break but I remembered I had a draft on my wip account for a super dark romance I wrote pieces of like 2 years ago. I can just upload it on my phone without edits if you guys want. 
          
          It gives me something I can give you that doesnt make my knee hurt and can give you guys something to read. 
          
          Would yall like that? Its not complete or even in formal chapters but its interesting. 
          
          Let me know!

Don't feel bad taking a break. We all want you to be back to your best, healthy, creative self ❤️.
            Also... I'd like to put Northern Highland Realms on the table (I'm trying to negotiate for more chapters ).

That really nice of you thank you  but at the same time you do what’s good for you  only  .and get better. Some times I feel better  when to elevate the leg on the bed   Keep it warm that helps getting a chill in it and gentle exercise like swimming that helps the water gives you bouncy and no strain on the knee  take care your loyal reader

Okay, so I think I need to take more than a week break because of my knee. Im getting way too stressed trying to get everything edited when my knee hurts this much. Currently I can barely think about what comes next, let alone sit at my computer to write it. Its just very distracting. 
          
          Ill come back to posting at the beginning of February, I promise but I really just need time for my knee and making sure its okay first and foremost. I want to be in a good mental space and give you guys good updates, not half baked shit I struggled with writing. 
          
          I love you all and Ill see you in February!

@AMLKoski take care of yourself first.

IRL Always Comes First! As much as I love your writing, it will suffer more than you if you don't take care of yourself 1st. One of my favorite authors goes months in between updates but he's still one of my faves. I always tell him what I am saying to you. Take whatever time you need; the wait will be worth it.
            Take care!

Guys! Guys!
          
          I had an appt with the doctor that was unrelated to my knee. And I wasn't going to say anything about my knee but my coworker said it was a good idea just for my medical records to show that I hurt my knee again this weekend. Just for records sake. 
          
          So I go in and its a different doctor than the og one I saw for my knee. I got my other shit done and offhandedly mentioned my knee and about me falling again. He checked my labs and imaging and was like oh tendinitis can cause some pain due to inflammation. Let me check. 
          
          So he did, did pressure tests and moved it while talking about tendinitis and then he kinda stopped and was like can you walk for me? So i took three steps (hobbled really), and he was like sit down, please. 
          
          Then he sat down, looked at me and said 'When we injure our knee, it makes it more prone to injury. You've injured your knee again when you fell this weekend.'
          
          You guys! I about cried. Again! He said again! He said again, as if the first time was an injury and NOT nothing. I am so relieved because he believed I hurt myself!
          
          He then gave me CARE INSTRUCTIONS!!! Im not to use it, i need to keep my brace on, hot and cold compresses, he gave me pain meds, and told me he was glad I got a physio appointment because he would have referred me for one if I hadn't. Then he looked at me and said if Im not better in a month to come back and he would refer me to an orthopedic surgeon. 
          
          Like I'm just... I was given care. He thinks Ive injured my knee twice, he gave me pain meds! And INSTRUCTIONS! He didn't pat me on my head and say its fine and there's nothing he could do. He's taking it serious. I just feel so relieved. Im still in a lot of pain but I'm happy and so so sooo relieved. 
          
          I just wanted to update you guys about it. I know yall have been as concerned as me but I got a not stupid doctor today! I got one and now I have a PROPER basis of care. Im just so relieved!
          
          I love you all!
          
          Cheers,
          Anna

@AMLKoski YAY! Now, hopefully, he can get you back to a place where you aren't in pain! I am so happy a DR finally listened to you.
