I’m going to be completely honest…. I’m never happy with my drowning series. I wrote it the first time when I was barely 20 and still growing into my writing style…. Then I rewrote it and kept most of it the same, then I rewrote it once again and added a bunch of details but kept the main storyline the same (the most recent version) and there’s just something about it that irks me….
          	
          	I plan to completely rework that series and even change the order of things… I swear this will be the last time… I just know I can do better.
          	
          	I live by the mindset that if I can’t sit through and read my own work, I don’t expect anyone else to…. I write for me, the whole point is I like to write books that I would personally like to read and frankly I struggled to even read through it to edit….  I know this gets annoying as hell but I swear I’ll finish the series after I make the necessary changes :)

I think this is the right idea. If you can’t sit n read your own work then it can clearly be improved! Don’t worry about us , just do what you need to.

Things have been hectic lately, my cat needed surgery (he's doing well now!), I feel like my mind is all over the place, it was my 23rd birthday yesterday so all I wanted to do was relax with a book and stay off of my devices lmao... Things are finally slowing down a bit.
          
          I hope I'll have a chapter of something written soon <3

Happy late birthday! Sounds like you’ve got a lot going on, take care of yourself <3 (and various fur babies, glad your cats ok)

I’m sorry for being a bit MIA, I’ll try to have something done soon… I’ve just been stressed as hell lmao
          
          I have a vet appointment Tuesday for one of my cats and my dog.
          
          My cat has an unknown mass that has only gotten larger and my dog has been having off and on issues with his leg. My grandmother thinks my dog possibly has arthritis like hers which in the best case scenario that’s what I’m hoping for since it’s easier to treat vs if he actually hurt himself in some way
          
          Bear with me for just a little while longer ā¤ļø

Take ur time! It’s totally okay for you to take time to yourself when you have things going on, you don’t owe us anything.
