I’ve just had the realization that Good Luck, Babe might be the most representative song for Elias I’ve ever heard and I can’t stop thinking about that.

@Cactus_Friend Yk it would be kinda fun if Kayden walked in on Elias singing Good Luck, Babe in their dorm. Wether it’d be him casually singing it or full on belting it out and maybe even dancing idk

@Cactus_Friend I'd say go for it lol. After To Have Lost is finished tho or if there ends up being a third part maybe wait after that. Either way I'd love to own a book version of these if they get published lol.

I was going to put this on a comment you replied on, but decided it would be more effective here. I enjoy your books and personality so much because you seem like such an invested person in learning and making sure you know what you're talking about. Your writing style is so fluid and heavenly. You're so poetic and I love that. Your writing is one of the reasons I became so obssessed with grammatical correctedness in my everyday writing. Your writing gives me inspiration to write poetry. You seem like such an opinionated and blunt person that let's people know what you think. As a highly opinionated person who sometimes thinks my opinions are too much, I look up to you. You're such an awesome sausome person and I dearly hope you obtain all that you want in life.

Okay, new plan! I wanna be writing THL but I can’t because I’m stressed over Unraveling and it’s just not happening so I’ve done the thing where I’ve started a whole new book in my drafts to avoid my responsibilities (don’t worry about that one, it has like a 30% chance of ever coming out) and that’s probably a sign that I need to do something different because Unraveling is supposed to be that book for me and it’s not. Because of this, I will be publishing the chapters I currently have written of Unraveling and I’ll put it on light pause with the note that chapters will come out when I feel like writing them. That means I’ll be officially moving my focus over to THL again because I really fucking miss it. It’ll still be slow because I just started my new semester and I’m in the process of possibly getting an actual well-paying job (fingers crossed) and I’m busy as hell, but I’m planning to try and spend a bit of time writing wherever it fits in my schedule. So yeah, I sincerely apologize to any people who’ve been following Unraveling, it’ll get finished, I promise, it’s like 10 more chapters, I just don’t have it in me at this current moment and I don’t want to just keep pushing. Anyone who’s following me exclusively for Unraveling, congratulations, you now know how it feels to be a THL fan. (But seriously, I’m so sorry, I don’t know why I am the way I am, thank you all for putting up with me).

Alright, the people have spoken, and by that I mean 3 people, but in my opinion, that’s enough to represent the populace, so I will be publishing the prologue of THL 2 as soon as I finish the cover and format it. I’m guesstimating it’ll be out by Friday or Saturday. As for Unraveling, I’m working on getting back into the groove for it, but updates may be slightly inconsistent. Thanks for sticking around everyone, I appreciate your patience and support!

@Cactus_Friend Thought I’d come back to say that I love your new story, great way to start off the second part. I can’t wait to read more of it, but don’t rush. The title kinda scares me cause it sounds like they might break up? Either way I can’t wait to see it play out :)

Hey everyone, I realized it's been more than a week or two, and I'm so sorry, I think I just kind of decided to take a short break and then I realized how utterly burnt out I was and then I ended up writing nothing the past month because I had trips and work and so many things, but I'm starting to get the motivation back and should be able to start writing again next week, fingers crossed. I really just wanted to pop in and say I'm good, and I will be coming back soon. I've also been working on THL a little bit, I have the first two chapters written and I'm working on a third, but it's definitely not going to be an update every week kind of thing and I already know that going into it, but I thought I should give everyone that heads up. It's a high effort book, it took me a year and a half to write the first one, it's taken me an additional year to prepare for the second, and updates will be slow, but they will at least be happening soon and after Unraveling, THL 2 will be my main focus. I know you guys have been waiting a long time for it, and thank you for your patience, I really truly appreciate it. I have also considered posting the prologue of THL before I finish Unraveling, so if anyone would like to see that, make your voice known, it's a possibility, I just haven't done it because I didn't want everyone to come back only to have to wait another 2-3 months for another chapter.

@Cactus_Friend I'm glad to hear you're alright! I hope you can rest a bit and enjoy your summer! 
            I kinda disappeared from wattpad so I missed Unraveling, but I'll go and catch up asap, and I'm definitely down for the prologue! You know how much I loved THL, so I'm really excited for THL 2, and I don't care how long it takes you to write it as long as I'll be able to read it in the future

@Cactus_Friend  I'm down for a prologue, but feel free to take all the time you need. So glad to hear you're alive and well. Also I can totally relate-even though I have one singular constant reader-I swear other people release once a week like it's a piece of cake and I just do not understand how lol.

Hey! Not to bother you ( this could never be my intention) but when do you think it would be possible for you to upload the second book for THL ( I'm such a wreck after the ending- dear I love your writing)

Cactus_Friend

It’ll be my main focus after my current book ends. I know there are a lot of people waiting on it, and it will come out probably starting sometime this summer or the beginning of fall, it’s just somewhat of a demanding book to write so it’s been taking longer

Hey, heads up everyone, I'm gonna be taking a short break from writing Unraveling because I was offered an editing job for my friend's poetry anthology and that's been taking over most of my creative energy. It shouldn't take more than a week or two, I just wanted to let everyone know I'm not disappearing or going on hiatus.
