Hello Sweet Toffees,
          	
          	As you can see, I have a few ideas for stories. 
          	
          	Which one interests you the most? Which one should I focus on first? 
          	
          	Put your choice down below or just vote on the story and I’ll put out the first chapter of whichever one gets the most….
          	
          	
          	Good to be back. 
          	
          	Love and Cookies,
          	Your Wattpad Mom

Hi Pumpkin Spice Muffins,
          
          Long time, no talk. I am sorry that I left everyone hanging with uncompleted stories. I hate it when that happens with stories I read. Haha. 
          It's been a rough year. Loss, transformations, attempts at trying to heal, perimenopause, adhd diagnosis (which finally makes EVERYTHING makes so much more sense), and am still trying to find my way out of the shitstorm of the last 2 1/2 years. But hoping for the rainbow that I know is coming eventually. 
          
          I have a question for anyone who read my stories, or anyone who sees this really. 
          
          I don't feel totally comfortable casting real people into my stories anymore. But I miss writing. Especially in this kind of platform where I can interact with you all and get feedback. One chapter at a time. 
          
          Would you read a story I wrote if it wasn't fanfiction based? If I didn't necessarily use the names and faces of specific people?
          And if so, is there a specific type of story you would be interested in reading? Something more supernatural like Kind of the Damned or something more real life, like Late Night Talking? Just curious. 
          
          I miss you all. I miss this creative outlet. I hope you all are treating yourselves with kindness out there and taking care of yourselves. 
          
          Sending all the love,
          Your WattPad Mom

Hey you!How are you?

@chanmapan I am finding my way too. It's been rough on my side of the world,too. Write what you want to read. That's my advice to you. Take care xx

ErinAlterEgo

@chanmapan Hey you. Sorry for the late reply. Like. Very late. It's been a rough year. I'm not where I want to be. But I am trying to steer my boat to where I hope I can go. I miss writing. But not sure what to write anymore. I don't want to do fanfiction. But I really like this platform. How are you doing?

Hi!! It's been a minute! 
          I don't even know if you remember me, I'm the writer of Ambit and Aurora. I wanted to talk to you, but I don't know if you're still active on Wattpad (I haven't updated my books in a looong while). 
          
          Do you, by any chance, use Whatapp?

ErinAlterEgo

@writhali Hey! Of course I remember you. You are a very gifted writer, and I know you went through some pretty tough times. I'm not really active on here, obviously. Not sure if you'll get this or not, seeing as how you messaged me over a year ago. Sorry. But yes, I am on Whatsapp.

Late Night Talking Ending Synopsis:
          
          As Alex dove further into this polyamory lifestyle that Sam encouraged, she started to see more and more dysfunction and toxicity in the motives behind Sam's behavior and insistence. That he never truly valued her, and had slowly manipulated her towards a lifestyle that put her at risk so he could have a guilt-free excuse to sleep with whoever he wanted. 
          Alex and Harry fell hard for each other, and she started to see what it was like to be treated by someone who saw her as someone precious, to feel safe, treasured, and protected. She discovered a lot about herself, including that she was, at heart, a monogamist. Her heart could only belong to one person.
           
          There was turmoil as she made the changes in her life that she knew were ultimately the healthy decisions for herself and her children. Lots of drama ensued as she broke apart her old life in order to build a new healthy one. 
          
          There were office shenanigans, lots of sexuality exploring (aka smut), and embracing of the fun and silliness in life. 
          Alex healed and relearned her value as a person. Harry embraced who he was, and felt happy and secure as he healed as well. 
          They healed each other. And experienced the kind of love that we as authors love to write about on here. They had to fight for it, but they eventually got their happy ever after. As most happy ever afters take effort, and are worth fighting for. 
          
          Moral of the story, Pumpkins:
          Never let someone else make you feel less valuable than the treasure you are.  Sometimes the most difficult choices are the right ones. 
          Never stop fighting for your dreams and your happiness.
          Surround yourself with people who love and support who you are, not what you can do for them. 
          It is never too late to make new choices and forge new paths. 
          Choose happiness.
          Choose love.
          
          Love you all always.

Hi Peanut ButterCups,
          
          I know it's been a minute. Or two. I'm sorry to have been a ghost. My personal life kind of exploded, and I haven't been able to find my way back yet. 
          
          I decided I won't be writing fanfiction here on out. It just doesn't feel right to me anymore. It doesn't mean I won't be writing. Just not based off a person. Absolutely no judgement on the talented writers on here who do. I just put myself in that place and how I would feel if I was in some of these stories, and it felt weird. So that's my own personal choice. 
          
          For those of you who noticed Late Night Talking missing, there's a reason. But I also hate it when stories disappear with no knowing how they ended. So, I'll write a short synopsis of how the story turned out for those of you who were reading along. I deeply appreciate those of you who gave me your time investment in my story and my writing. It gave me a sense of validation for my writing that I had never experienced before. I'm sorry I robbed you of the story you deserved.  
          
          I hope you all are doing well. I miss the community on here, it's been an amazing place and escape during a hard time in my life. And I love all the support people have for each other. If I manage to start another story, I'll update you all. I had some interesting angel/demon ones in my head. If I can flush it out, you might see me writing again. 
          
          Please take care of each other, and of yourselves. Stand up and be proud of who you are, and how far you've come and overcome, regardless of where you are in your own process of becoming.
          
          Love, appreciation, and big mom hugs to you all,
          Your Wattpad Mom

@DaphneSutton That means more to me than you know. I know this reply is a year and a half late, but I would love to come back and write again. I just don't want to base it on real people anymore. So that you would read it no matter who the subject is, means a lot. 
            Trying to brainstorm new story ideas. Hopefully I'll come up with something soon. <3

DaphneSutton

I was just thinking about your writing the other day, wondering if I had been checked out for so long I missed it or if you were ok. Sorry to hear about the explosion , we've ALL been there & it can be a bitch to bounce back. Hope things are starting to look up for you. I LOVE your writing, no matter WHO the subject is, and would be thrilled to read any future endeavors. (((Hugs))) & much LOVE wherever your journey takes you.

@fkinavocado Thank you for your support. I'm sorry to have worried you. It's been a bit nuts and I have for the most part completely disappeared from all platforms. But I'm alive and okay. Just moved countries, got divorced, working out split custody across 2 states, taking care of my elderly mother.... And just working through old trauma I never addressed... So yeah. One of those times when everything kind of needs to get blown to pieces so it can get put back together in a different formation. The storm before the rainbow. But... I know it's temporary, and I have my eye on a pretty spectacular rainbow. Just have to get there. <3

Hi Cupcakes,
          
          I haven’t forgotten about you all or my story, I haven’t died or completely fuçked off. I had a few deaths in the family and had to do some traveling back home to be with family. 
          
          Life has been a bit nuts and I’m not sure when I’ll be able to update. But I do have a chapter written, just not edited. I’ll post it as soon as I can. 
          
          In case no one told you today: you’re valuable, you are needed and you are amazing. 
          
          Sending mom hugs,
          YourWattpadMom
