I know it's been ages since I've been on Wattpad. I don't even know if anyone's even noticed, or cared, but I thought I'd send a message because someone might interested to know what's been going on in the past four years since I wrote my first book.
I still enjoy coming on Wattpad every now and then when I get the chance and seeing my notifications pop up, someone new having voted or commented on one of my chapters. It seriously still brings me so much joy when I see that someone has enjoyed something I've wrote.
But over the past four years my life ambitions have changed a lot. I'm now going into a career of psychology, which I never would've thought would happen, and am hoping to find work in therapy and helping cancer patients after University.
Writing has kind of been put on the back burner, especially since GCSE's. But A Levels have just brought two years of extra stress back into my life. Next month I will be turning the big 18, and I would've never thought I'd be where I am in life if I think back to sitting on my laptop at 13 writing Diary of a Love Struck Fool and imagining I was in the book so I COULD JUST MEET GABRIEL or one of my scrummy characters.
I have always been into writing. Damn, I still get ideas every day. But I've also lost the ability to get them down on paper. I wish there was a job where people could line up, I could tell them a story idea, and then they could go and write. That way, I think, would provide so much more happiness.
Other things in my life have also affected my writing. After dating a boy for nearly a year, he broke my heart and it kind of felt like I was in a romance novel. I thought after that I'd start writing again but I didn't. I went off writing even more than previous. I think it's because for months just the idea of love made me feel sick.
Maybe I will get something on paper soon but it's a big maybe. I have just four months before University and I am excited out of my mind.
Talk soon, friends.
