When your therapist asks you to write out your depression, anxiety, and dissociation like you would write it if they were physical places and a book character was traveling through them, and you’re just like…okay, but you do realize you’re asking an author to write, correct? You’re gonna get a book XD (actually considered just telling her to read my books cause that stuff bleeds into it anyway lol)

I am still struggling so much with a writing slump right now so I am very sorry to those of you who’ve been trying to read my current works. I’ve been trying to just force myself to power through it because I feel so so bad for not keeping up with my usual schedule but it’s just not working. I rushed myself through my hiatus too because I felt like I should be posting and that has clearly not worked out. And I think I need to remind myself that ultimately I’m writing for me, because I love to do it, and I’m just not loving it right now. 
          
          So I think what I’m going to do is just take a step back from posting on Wattpad and focus more on getting back into writing itself, and then coming back to posting. Again, I’m so sorry if this disappoints any of you, but I think it’ll be what’s best for me right now and I hope you understand. Please continue to enjoy any of my other currently finished works in the meantime and I love and appreciate all my readers so much! 

What’s with the sudden influx of “your story hooked me but I have an idea to make it even better! Message me!!” Or “your story is so inspiring I’d like to make a piece of art for you. Message me so we can discuss a price!!” scam comments that very clearly didn’t even look at your book because they’re commenting on the author’s note at the very beginning of the story? Cause I’ve literally gotten at least one every day in multiple books since August 

Got a question for y’all! I have a brief short story containing some Asterrian lore written that I want to share, but I’m not certain which book to add it to. Would it bother anyone if I just post it in Two Cursed Souls as that’s the book it’s going to tie into more closely? It will be kept at the end of the book so I’ll just reorder chapters as I post them to keep it at the back. 

Hey y’all, I’ve decided not to post a new chapter until Monday. I had no time for writing yesterday and today I’m headed to the estate sale for my late great grandmother which I’m anticipating will be a difficult event for me, so it’ll just be easier to hold off posting until next week. Thank you for understanding. 

I’m so sorry y’all, it completely slipped my mind to post today with everything that’s been going on. I had friends on campus at UVU and who live right by there, and I saw way too many close up videos of the shooting happening so I’ve been trying to check up on my friends and make sure they’re ok and then take care of my own mental health which still hasn’t been great. 
          
          And this whole thing has been just been all too real and scary given that my family was just involved in a homicide investigation two days ago because the suspect ran across OUR FRONT LAWN immediately after he shot and killed someone driving by, and our cameras caught footage of him running.
          
          This all makes me sad and tired of the world we live in. No human being deserves to die because their opinion is different than someone else’s, no matter what side you’re on. And no one’s wife and children should have to watch their husband and father die, and have it recorded and spread across the internet where they will never truly escape it. I strive to keep politics off my social medias because that’s not what defines me and I want to respect the beliefs of all my friends and followers. But this is a human’s life. 
          
          And on the day before 9/11 Remembrance Day, when we should be coming together to honor the victims and remember who we are as a nation, WE THE PEOPLE, not “we the government” or “we the political parties”. Not create more victims out of senseless rage. 
          
          You are entitled to your own opinions, but any comments made that are disrespectful or rejoicing in any part of what has occurred today and other such tragedies over the last week will be deleted. I don’t condone hate towards any person or party on my platforms. 

Glad to see you back to updating! Hope your hiatus helped you feel more yourself!

When you’re deepening the lore and worldbuilding and the temptation to write a PREQUEL prequel book grows increasingly stronger XD 
          
          Or like a collection of short stories history type book kind of like The Silmarillion and such 

Reminder that Two Cursed Souls will be back to regular updates starting tomorrow! 

Would you accept a Star Wars/ Game of Thrones fanfiction request?
