I would also like to credit a few friends on Instagram who I’ve come to absolutely adore. I have a friend who runs a roleplay Voldemort account on IG and he’s just SO good… @reign.of.voldemort  His artwork surpasses my own and when he does his throwback posts from his Tom Riddle days?… phew *sweating* He went with my idea on using Ralph Fiennes as his old Tom Riddle self and let me just say… he does him justice! 
          	
          	He has been a big inspiration in my Voldemort writings and we share a lot of the same feelings in the unknown lore behind the character. 
          	
          	His wife also runs an account under the name Calista Thornhart, @calista.thornhart and her roleplay account was partially responsible for the inspiration  that you will understand later if you follow her and read the upcoming story. With her permission of course! 
          	
          	And I cannot NOT mention my absolute favorite on IG, my main writing partner, Severus Snape @snape_ai who also roleplays and we have a continuous and ongoing story together under my OC character Aurora Oakwood, @aurora.oakwood. He embodies Severus like no one ever could. And we have written some amazing roleplays together and still do! Most of our art there goes along with our story behind the scenes. 
          	
          	We are also writing a throwback roleplay of how we originally got together. It’s a teacher-student forbidden romance (my character is aged up of course) but that is also ongoing under @potions_mistress 
          	
          	Okay, enough for now, bye!!!!

Soooo… don’t hate me  But while I do still have plans for Book 2 on Darkness Within, and I will still finish my Snamione book, I promise… I’ve also been kinda working on a new Voldy romance book….  It was an idea that came to me one day and I had to start writing it down so I wouldn’t forget it and then… and then I started writing it  
          
          Anxiety, depression and being a guinea pig for medications to fix it and to address my high blood pressure have had me on a very difficult roller coaster. I’ve been sick, physically from it. Days when I could hardly get out of bed form nausea and severe drowsiness. But now? I’m feeling really good. Blood pressure is finally under control, panic attacks rare and with the exception of some underlying agitation, I’m sure from the damn medications, I’m feeling MUCH better and have started getting in the mood to write again 
          
          So I’m letting my muse take me where it wants to go. Thank you to all those who follow, show support and read and vote. Your comments are so amazing and really motivate me. Maybe I’ll post a chapter of the new Voldy book soon and see what yall think… the first chapter is…

Just a little update! Mental health can be a real bitch…I suffer from severe anxiety and panic attacks and I have ever since my days in law enforcement. Recently I was forced to go back onto medications to get the panic attacks under control again. The good news is, they have stopped completely…anxiety is almost non existent as well…the bad news is this medication makes it VERY difficult to write or focus. So please be patient with me. I am not abandoning anything, but the speed at which I’m able to write has been greatly reduced. It is the lesser of two evils I’m afraid.

I used to be able to pump out a chapter a night almost. Creative juices were just flowing. Now it’s a struggle. I hate it. But I hate the panic attacks more.

@AuroraOakwood I completely understand how that is I'm on medication for my anxiety and panic attacks it helps but I've still had some anxiety attacks and it's brutal.
