Hello my rosebuds!
          
          I come with not so great news. For the past several weeks and even months since my last upload, I have decided to stop writing. This decision I can assure you has not come lightly and has taken MANY weeks of thinking through. It breaks my heart to write this message but it has to be done. My mental health isn’t doing great and the stress of trying to write and publish (which is supposed to only be for fun) is hurting me more than benefiting me at the moment.
          
          I’m not sure when I’ll get back to writing, or if I ever will but it’ll happen once again when the time is right I hope as I’ve a lot of ideas in the works. Writing was something I started as a hobby, one I very much enjoyed and looked forward to doing, but I’ve now burnt out and lost my spark completely for it. I’ve lost my spark for a lot of things actually and this is just one of them. 
          
          I don’t have a big reading number or following but I want to thank those of you who have supported and shown love for my work of the past nearly two years. I hope to come back to this fabulous world of writing once my life is back on track. 
          
          Once again, thank you for the support and love!

Howdy Rosebuds!
          
          Well, never did I ever think I would still be here writing after one year. I was shocked when I made past one month but as today marks the anniversary of my first ever book that I published on here, it’s crazy how fast the year has gone!
          
          I started this as a fun little project to take my mind off a lot of stuff that was going on in my life at the time. I really enjoyed it! I thought SEVERAL times that I didn’t want to do this and even thought about deleting my page altogether. The people who I wanted to tell, know about my writing but some people found out accidentally and I was terrified that the word would spread, as this at the time and still is now, my dirty little secret hehe!
          
          I find showing my emotions through my characters, so much easier than talking about them sometimes. It gives me a sense of comfort that even though I created the characters, it’s nice to feel like somebody else is going through the same stuff and feeling the same way. I want to say thank you to everyone who has become a follower, communicated with me and supported me during this journey, even if it was just a skim read it still means a lot! I don’t plan on stopping story writing anytime soon! 
          
          I am celebrating my one year anniversary of AThornBledRose by having a little mental birthday party for myself! Do you want sprinkles on your cake? I am currently sitting my end of year exams and it is hell but I am getting through it.
          
          Well, that’s all from me and again, thank you everyone who I’ve chatted with, supported me and shared the wonderful world of storytelling with me! Here’s to one year of AThornBledRose and hopefully many more to come!!
          
          All the love!❤️
