Ah yes, here it is finally— the explanation I promised y’all.
So, with zero beating around the bush, my reason for inactivity is simply that I’ve outgrown the warriors fandom. I’m older now and a lot more mature than I was back when I started this account, and I feel like it’s time to move on with my writing. I can’t grow as a writer if I’m sticking within the warriors world.
Recently, I’ve been learning a lot about story structure and other writing techniques, and it’s made me realize what an absolute mess my stories are. BSF is all OVER the place, and Drowning really has no point—no character growth. I’m not inspired to continue these works, and I’m really branching out on my own lately, with my own worlds and ideas.When I first came to wattpad, I was in a rough patch of my life. I wasn’t in a good place in my relationship with my family members, and I was anemic and lonely. Writing became a coping mechanism—almost like a drug; I got disproportionately upset whenever my laptop was taken and I didn’t have access to my stories anymore.I was ONLY happy when writing, and I was unhappy and dull otherwise. I’ve grown so much since then though, and I no longer need that to be content.
I’m really sorry I can’t give you guys the rest of the stories I’ve written here; you all have been so so supportive of my writing journey, and I appreciate you all so much. Thank you guys for being here for me, and for offering advice and kind words when I was really low. I may occasionally write a bit more and post whatever I wrote, but I won’t be focusing my fanfics anymore. I’ll still pop back here to check on my friends and whatnot, so this isn’t goodbye! However, if you want to hear more from me and follow me where I’m more active, you can head over to my other account, @auroraxnights .
I love y’all!

P.S. If you’re interested in knowing where I was planning on taking my stores, plus some trivia about BSF and Drowning, lmk and I might post something about them ✨
