Well friends, it has been a HOT MINUTE hasn't it? It's been close to three years since I closed the door to my Wattpad experience of writing and publishing. In the time away I've graduated high school, moved away to uni, and * drum roll please * I PUBLISHED A BOOK! 
          	I know its been right next to ages since I've been active on here, but I still come on every now and then. Despite being away from the Wattpad world, I still receive messages and comments on and about all my stories that fill my heart up with all that mushy gushy joy. 
          	Anyway, I just want to say thank you to all you loves. Thank you for sticking with me through my stories that I wrote when I was twelve (yes twelve... explains a lot doesn't it?) 
          	If any of you are interested I can attach the link to buy my published book, if you use the code LULU10 it'll snag you a 10% discount. 
          	All my love 
          	- Ari

Hey everyone so I have a really big post for you that I would like you to read; 
          I know that I haven't been on wattpad very recently and I've been taking long extended breaks. First it was the one in 2014 in the midst of me writing OUAT, then it was last year when I cut Hesperia, the break began in June 2015 and went until April 2016. I'm truly sorry for my absence and the lack of updates I really thought that when I began Love, Lucy it was the end of my leave - that I finally felt confident enough to share my stuff here on wattpad. 
          And I do feel confident, I know that what I'm writing is decent material and I know that a lot of you like it but I think the issue here is, is that Wattpad writing and general writing are two very different things. 
          Within the boundaries of wattpad I find that most people head straight to the stereotypes and the cliches, something I found evident when I posted Dear Cupid and got all the recognition because it was a good girl v bad boy. It's different then a book store, you don't just stumble upon these extraordinary undiscovered books you look for the tags. If you read one bad boy book that reached over a million then you look for other bad boy books.

The thing is is that I feel so sold out whenever I write here on wattpad. I don't want to write yet another cliche story - I want to write about more important things, like  mental illness and overcoming grief and death. But when I do post something like that - like Love, Lucy and I didn't recieve very many reads it takes a shot at my already deterioating confidence because then I have it in my head that no one likes it. 
            I don't write for reads, I want to make that part clear - but when the number of reads you get is so clearly broadcasted on your page right in front of you it really hurts when you see the number so low. 
            I began writing on wattpad when I was twelve, but now I'm sixteen and I like to think that I've grown up. I'm so thankful for the followers who had been there for me since my very first chapter posted and supporters like @wjason458 and @Idieyidot for your messages of support and providing strength. But I'm just not sure I can do it anymore. 
            I want to leave my profile standing in case I ever change my mind or if I ever choose to rewrite the horrificness that is Dear Cupid... but as of now I'm taking a long standing hiatus from wattpad. I want to write for real, maybe publish maybe just keep it for myself. 
            Thank you wattpad but I'm afraid it's goodbye for now. 
            xoxo
