@Kayla_the_Impaler
Hey guys! My new book (I know I haven't uploaded the other one for ages but bear with me) is a kind of therapy. My own therapy that will either work out well or really really bad. . .I'll let you be the judges I guess https://www.wattpad.com/story/215584638
Hey my beautiful souls!
DEEP AND MEANINGFUL AHEAD!
I feel as though an explanation is warranted for my absence and lack of updates.
First, let me just say that M&P is a very close and personal story. A lot of characters have bases, however mildly, of real life people that have shaped who I am. I sometimes look at myself and see Matty, sometimes I'm Pat, and other times I'm Valerie. Frank is the person I always needed and most times had to be myself.
Second, in saying that, it came as a shock when I went through the book from the beginning to fix up a contingency error I had made and realised that one character in the book is an exact replica of someone in my real life. No fiction. Well, of course a little. But titles in my books mean nothing in real life. The fact that this monster of a character I had created is mirrored so deeply in another person shook me.
After this, I had to take a step back. I do intend to continue this story. I don't intend to change characters. I just felt as though I couldn't breathe and that I was suddenly trapped in my reality.
I want each and every single one of you to keep an eye out for warning signs in friends, family and even strangers. Things you see the four main characters do, or say. It's important to remember to do this for yourself. Reach out. There are people out there who will listen and help, but you need to take the first step, and it's a big one. Tip toe if you must, but take the step.
Thirdly, I will be updating M&P soon. I'm just finishing some things, but the ending is near!
Thank you so much to everyone who stuck with me in my first attempt at writing. I really do appreciate you all xx
Hiya guys,
I'm sorry it's taken me forever and a day to let you guys know this, but I have had quite a bit of a confusion real life employment problem. I've just started a new job in a completely difference job force (childcare into retail...working in a service to working in a deli, living the good life) and I have been crazy busy getting ready for uni and am suffering the world's greatest writers block. I know what needs to happen in Matilda and Patrick so don't worry, there is a plan, but I just can't seem to work it all out in a way that can be written.
So basically, I'll be taking a small break from writing for the minute and will probably be less active on Wattpad in preparation for uni and until I can get a hold on this job cause fish and raw meat are not my thing. But really though, there is no way there's this many fish IRL HAHAHAHA
HEY! IM SORRY IM SORRY IM SORRY FOR NOT UPLOADING SOONER! I know I don't need to upload again until Sunday, but I feel terrible because time just escaped me last weekend and it might this weekend as well!
But it's up now! Another chapter, and a plan is starting to take place finally! Hope you enjoy it and thank you for all the comments and support xox
Helloooooooooo Lovelies!
Okay, so let me just explain a minute.
I had to get stuff to give my car a service. And by me, I mean my dad. So I was picking up the stuff from Supercheap Auto (for those not in Aus, it's a car shop) and this is how my conversation went with the guy behind the counter who gave me my stuff. Let's call him Larry.
Larry: "Ahh, shopping for your boyfriend?"
Me: Nope, just stuff to service my car
Larry: Oh?
Me: Well, my dad's helping
Larry: Ahh, that makes more sense.
Yup, actual conversation. So I may of helped women getting set back 20 years, but I just spent my weekend learning how to service cars because I was mad AF at Larry and every other misogynist.
One! Who said I even WANT a boyfriend? I might have a girlfriend?
TWO! Rude to assume that I can't do it myself
AND THREE! Why is it any of your business?
So mad. And that is why the latest chapter of M&P is all about Feminism. So that's my explanation.
Happy reading! x
That makes me so mad! I hate people like that. Don't assume for one minute that women can't do stuff just because they're women.
Women can fix cars, and they can also sit quietly in a corner smiling cause they know they can ruin the male population with one word. I don't have time for people who don't think men and women equal! Tell your friend she's a legend and is helping women all around the world, one male domination at a time HA!
@Kayla_the_Impaler I have a friend who is a mechanic and she would crush people like this. I had to pick her up from work one day (a little over a year ago) and there she was, working in this enormous mechanic shop, wearing overalls, climbing out from this massive truck she was fixing, surrounded by men twice her size. She is super tiny (especially for Dutch standards… we’re tall people), happy-go-lucky kinda person, has a very girly look and clothing style and I have been in so many HILARIOUS situations with her. She is currently fixing up this really old Renault Monastella that she has in her garage and when she goes to get parts for it she often knows more than the people selling them, which completely stumps them! Once me, her and another friend were on our way to a concert and the car broke down, we pulled it over to the side of the road and she had a look. I can’t exactly remember what the problem was, but it had to be towed away, so we called roadside assistance. I’m not sure how it works in other countries but here they drive out to where you are. Two guys get out of the van and they’re like “We’ll take a look, ladies.” And she was like “Well, I already checked this and this and this and this is what appears to be the problem.” They were flabbergasted. I love her, she’s badass.
Okay, so some people had an issue with the second last update of Matilda and Patrick. Thinking that Matilda turned weak for no reason (can I just take a moment here to give Matilda a little defence? She's been through hell lately after being put on a pedestal her whole life). I just want to announce that I have just finished writing chapter 12, and will be editing tomorrow for the update, and she is now back. She is her beautiful feministic self. Kind of. I mean, she is still going through hell. But like, feminism.
Hey lovelies!
As Matilda and Patrick comes to a head, I began wondering what my next writing adventure would be. I was thinking for ages until I thought of joining two of my unwritten stories together.
I am pleased to announce that as well as finishing Matilda and Patrick (which will be my #1 priority until it's finished) I am currently writing my second story on wattpad. It will be completely different from Matilda and Patrick, as in it won't be a fantasy, but a teen fiction instead.
I won't be releasing it until I have finished drafting Matilda and Patrick atleast, so maybe a couple months. But I promise that I have looked beyond Matilda and Patrick because of the overwhelming support I have received from my first one. I want to thank you all for everything and I hope you enjoy what comes next!
Love and light

Hey lovelies!
Chapter 11 is up, trigger warning for people with Pisanthrophobia like myself who may feel a tad uncomfortable reading bits of this chapter. I hope you like this chapter! Lots of new discoveries and plans x
Hey Lovelies!
I just uploaded another chapter, it probably seems quick because I just uploaded like, two days ago. But that was last weeks that was late as I was sick as heck, and this one is this weeks.
Strap on your seat belts folks because this chapter is a ripper. It ripped my heart strings and I wrote it. ANYWAY! Surprise time! I've added an authors note at the end of this chapter and I've decided after this chapter to give a little fun competition. Whoever can guess the surprise in next weeks upload wins a shout out, follow and endless feedback, support and shares in one of their books of their choosing! I have added an easter egg in the chapter to make it a little easier, as it surprised even me! Good luck!
Alrighty! Chapter nine done and dusted. Emotional and Physical warning given. It's a heart breaker.
I wanted to thank everyone for their patience and kind words. I know how hard and annoying it is when things aren't done on time and I personally find it to be one of my biggest pet peeves, so thank you all so much for understanding!
I also am adding my Pintrest to my 'about' as I feel like it might be helpful to some who are struggling or want some tips on writing! I have a whole pin dedicated to writing. It has
-tips
-name ideas
-writing prompts
I feel like it's pretty helpful, so give that a follow, I also have a pin called 'wattpad' where I share the stories to my pintrest if I feel like they really deserve the attention!
Anyway, chapter nine is up! Trigger warning is up, and I look forward to hearing what you guys think
Love and light my lovelies
