WHY I HAVE NOT BEEN UPDATING/ACTIVE DESPITE PROMISES TO DO SO*
Hello, seeing as I have been unable to fulfill previous promises that I have made, and how I have two fairly popular stories that are being more or less neglected, I felt that an explanation was owed to those who are wondering why.
I did leave due to severe depression a while ago. During the months that I was struggling with my mental health I was self harming and thinking about attempting suicide. My ability to write the sort of things that I have on this profile disappeared, and I was unable to be happy with anything I tried to write. I overcame that hurdle around April or May of this year.
Then I had my senior project to complete, which is still ongoing, which requires me to draw twenty full portraits of people. That is one of my most important responsibilities right now, more important than Wattpad.
And then, a few days after I graduated, my grandmother had a major stroke, and was taken temporarily to a nursing home for physical therapy, but was then transferred to our house after being hospitalized again for dehydration. She died four days ago.
In addition to all of this stuff, we adopted two young boys with severe mental issues last year, which helped trigger the depression that I had to deal with.
Despite all of this, one of the major reasons that I can't update, is because I am having so much trouble writing these stories. I don't know if it is a dislike of them, if it is the subject matter, or just the fact that I've outgrown them.
I don't like several things about all of them, but still like the characters, so maybe a rewrite will get me back into the swing of things.
Or, they'll just be abandoned. In which case, if you wouldn't mind, would you rather I leave them up or just take them down?
I'll be starting college in a month, so even if I rewrite and start updating, they won't be every other day like COP was, just so you know.
And I'd like to write more, but my character count is at 2000 now
