Hey Everyone,
          
          It's been a whole since I was last here.
          I've been radio silent for quite some time now.
          All but disappeared from the community.
          So much has happened.
          I'm a mother now, welcomed my daughter January of last year. So that's kept me pretty busy.
          
          Still don't know when I'll make a full return, but I won't be returning to Instagram, at least not under this pen name. I do know I want to write again, I've been working on stuff behind the scenes.
          
          I look forward to making a full comeback.
          To all those who remained with me during this time away. Thank you.

Hey every one, 
          Long time no talk.
          I know it's been a while since I posted my last message (the one in which I decided to pull LBG from the platform); and in the time since I had deactivated my writing account on IG.
          
          However,
          After months of radio silence (for personal reasons of which I will not be elaborating upon at this time).
          I am excited to announce that Little Bad Girl will be returning to Wattpad.
          I will not be giving a release date at this stage; however, I will say I have been hard at work, editing, revamping, tweaking, adding and altering certain scenes.
          The LBG that will be returning will be (at it's core) the same as before, but I would like to think it'll be New and Improved, LBG 2.0 if you will.
          It won't be published off the back of the old version however; and will be released as a whole new and separate story.
          
          Anyway that being said, happy reading and writing ... WATCH THIS SPACE!! 

So I've a massive announcement to make.
          It is with a heavy heart that I have made the decision to temporarily unpublish Little Bad Girl.
          There are many reasons for this. 
          Wattpad no longer feels like the safe and welcoming community that it once was; many of my fellow authors have had their work reported for no reason other than what could be described as petty jealousy; no guidelines or policies were violated; yet Wattpad have refused to do proper investigation and research into the fraudulent 'troll' reporting.
          Until Wattpad choose to work with as opposed to against their writers I don't feel comfortable here.
          I've had a stream of readers bombard me with a negativity behind the scenes; I pride myself on being a strong woman, but constant and prolonged negativity and harassment over time, there's only so much I can take.
          Writing no longer feels like a passion, it feels like a chore. I've had a love hate relationship with my story for a while now, and this has over time has turned into resentment.
          Hence the reason that the turn around between updates became greater and greater.
          I don't want to force updates whilst in this headspace and risk of turning LBG into something I hate.
          It's something I've grappled with for a while but I feel that this is the best decision for me both mentally and physically.
          The growth and rise of toxicity and drama in and within this community has also aided in this decision.
          Now, that being said you will have noticed, however, that I said temporarily.
          Until I feel my work is safe and supported here and until I've repaired the relationship between myself and my work LBG will remain unpublished.
          I do plan to go over the story in its entirety to edit and change some things; to hopefully one day bring it back to this platform bigger and better than before.
          I hope you all will continue to support me and my decision. If not, I respect your right to unfollow me.
          Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Hey Everyone,
          
          I ummed and arred about posting this bust with what's happened I felt like it would be best to shed some light on my current situation.
          
          I'll start by saying today has been a massive and emotional day for me, in my life external to this community. I received some devastating news regarding the passing of a loved one.
          
          In lieu of this information, I am announcing that I will be taking a massive step back from writing and my Instagram account to spend adequate time with and to be there for my family. Also whilst I come to terms with, process and deal with my grief.
          
          Where does that leave LBG?
          LBG will be completed and finished, I am not abandoning it; however for the time being I will be putting it on hold. I will not be responding to messages about updates or anything related, I know that may annoy some, but my real life comes first and will always be my number one priority and I won't apologise for that.
          
          I hope you can all understand and bear with me at this time; but the stress of this and the expectations associated is more than I need right now and I won't do it to myself. I am taking this time for me. 
          
          It's not goodbye forever, it's goodbye for now.
          
          
          Thank you for your understanding.
          
          
          Kind Regards,

Hey Everyone,
          
          So exciting news on the LBG front.
          After it being forever and a day since I last updated, I am posting this announcement to let you all know that Chapter 30 Part II has just dropped on to Wattpad now.
          Be sure to give it a read and let me know what y'all think.
          
          Whilst I am at it I want to take this moment to extend a massive thank you to all my loyal followers and readers. I know it is a while between updates, I know it's both frustrating and infuriating; but I want to thank each and every one of y'all for remaining by my side and sticking with me. For continuing to read and for continuing to show LBG your love and renewed support.
          
          I am truly grateful and appreciative of each and every one of you. From the bottom of my heart I cannot thank you all enough.
          
          I hope you have a great rest of your week.
          
          Read and enjoy.

Chapter  8 of "A grave covered with Dahlias" is out now. please make sure to check it out. I hope you enjoy reading it, also please don't forget to vote and comment your thoughts about the chapter.

Hey Everyone,
          
          Just in case you missed it, or didn't receive the notification from Wattpad, chapter 30 of LBG is up and available to read now.
          
          If you've ventured in and read it already you will have noticed that this chapter is labelled as 'part 1' that is because I felt that the chapter would have been too long as one whole portion; and I didn't want to cut any events from either part to make it shorter. So you'll be getting this chapter in two parts.
          
          I am working hard to ensure that the turn around between the release of these halves isn't long. However we are in the middle of a pandemic right now (as you would all be very much aware). 
          The health of myself (mentally and physically) as well as that of my immediate family members takes precedence over my writing.
          
          That being said I am needing a break from the constant stream of negativity within this world right now. And writing is proving to be giving me a mental release. I plan to use the time in quarantine/isolation to do something productive.
          
          Whilst I cannot give you an eta on part 2 I am actively working on it, and what I can say for certain is ... soon ... just bear with me.
          
          Thank you all for your continued support of both myself and my LBG, thank you for sticking with me through my writing drought and thank you for continuing to trust in me and LBG to stick with me.
          This means the world to me and I'm forever grateful.
          
          I hope you all stay safe, and that you are well; that your loved ones are alright. These are tying times, but we'll get through.
          
          I love you all.
