Oh hey, it's been a while. I noticed that I've been barely active here at all. Simply put, life's been CRAZY since I've last posted. I decided to come back with an update as well as an announcement.
          
          Firstly, writing has kind of taken a back seat for me. Obviously, I didn't stop completely as I did put out two stories last year, but nothing else for my ongoing fics. So, what have I been doing then? Well, to start things off, I've been doing more drawing than writing, and I've been wanting to improve my skills with that. Granted I've been slow with drawings as well, but I've been enjoying those more as I personally enjoy doing more visual creation like drawing and making videos rather than simply writing a story.
          
          Secondly, I got back into making YouTube videos much more often last year. Most of that is thanks to the fact that I started a podcast with my friends called One Training Family where we talk all about Pokémon (Particularly the games and the anime), and that has been a blast. I've always wanted to make Pokémon content on YouTube, and this was the perfect opportunity to do so.
          
          Lastly, in regard to the future of my writing and my fics here on Wattpad, I do have a Pearlshipping story coming out today, and that will likely be one of the last stories I post here, as I am really considering moving on to another platform for posting my future stories. While I did enjoy my time here, I barely use Wattpad nowadays, and finding good fanfictions here is not easy. I'm also planning on removing two of my stories from here soon: "Pokémon Adventures in High School," and "Pokémon Adventures in High School: New England Dreams." Simply put, the first story is straight-up bad, and NED is just okay and incomplete. That said, I just don't feel comfortable keeping them up. Both stories contain things that are really embarrassing, and a simple rewrite won't be enough to fix them. So, I'm gonna take them down soon.
          
          Hope you all understand. Take care everyone! See ya!

Oh, it's been a hot minute. Haven't posted anything at all this year, which is pretty embarrassing honestly. I just haven't had any motivation to write given how 2020 has been. This doesn't mean I don't wanna work on my fics anymore, cause I still do. But the motivation that I have been getting only lasts in short bursts, with nothing long-term happening yet. Plus, I've been planning other projects, and not all of them are fanfics. I do have exciting stuff coming, it will just be a little longer than I'd like. Hope you'll be patient as I try to get myself motivated to work on my stories again.

I understand it's been a little too long since I've posted anything. Summer is always the busiest time of year for me, and a lot has happened to me personally. I haven't had a lot of motivation to write lately, but hopefully once the fall roles around, that'll change, and I'm not holding my breath about that either. I have plenty of stuff to include in Pokémon AIHS New England Dreams, and I am excited to get to that hopefully soon. Maybe even getting in on the Sword and Shield hype by including some of the new Pokémon in the story may not be a bad idea either, as I definitely have a lot of opinions on everything shown so far. I hope you remain patient as I try to get motivated to write again, as I do wanna be more committed to it in the latter half of this year (Jeez, where has the time gone?!).

Jeez, I really haven't been keeping a consistent schedule for posting. XD I really do apologize for that though. The last bit of 2018 was full of so much crazy stuff that writing kinda took a back seat until earlier this week. Hopefully now that we're into 2019, that'll change, and I'll be more consistent like I was when I first joined Wattpad. I encourage you to be patient with me, as I will try and aim to have a chapter posted at least once a month for this year. So you can really call that my new year's resolution if you really wanted to.

I understand it has been awhile since I've last posted, and I do apologize for that. I just didn't have the motivation to write lately, and this summer has been incredibly busy for me. Because of that, I haven't had the time to do my writing. I do ask for you all to please be patient as my second year of college is starting in the next few weeks, so I'll post when I can.
