Hey guys!
This isn't an update but it is an announcement/author update kind of thing that's completely random and nobody asked for lol!
I've been dealing with my mental health for about two years now and I think I'm getting to a point where I can finally write again, or at least the desire to has really pushed past a lot of negative thoughts and has been inspiring me lately if that makes sense.
For a few months now, I've been writing, in general, a lot and have come up with so many poems, short stories, and even a half-finished chapter and outline for Illusion and a whole nother book. What's stopped me from just going crazy on Wattpad though was because I've also been going through some soul searching with what I write and I've come to a lot of conclusions that I just don't know how to feel about.
Like one that's been weighing heavy on me is that I might have outgrown the Rich Kids series or at least have mentally moved past it in the time I've been away. There's not really a desire to finish it and the reason why I have a whole half-chapter of it in my docs is that I've lost emotional connection to the characters. Which grinds my gears because I hate unfinished work. So far I've actually thought about rebooting the whole thing and starting over, like working on a third/final draft, but I'm still not sure yet which is another reason why I've stalled so much on returning. I feel like I have nothing to give lol.
So truthfully I'm back but at the moment I have no idea if that means Illusion will be finished. But what I can say is I do intend on posting work and being more active again as Wattpad has always been such a fun and warm community to me and I think I miss that more than anything else.
To anyone who's stuck around, thank you so much and I hope we can continue this journey together! <3
