So, I'm not sure if anyone even reads my stories or is on Wattpad anymore, but I finally updated my book of poetry. Also, I am working on a second (or perhaps it is the third?) draft of Youngblood. I want to make it deeper and more profound than a typical teenage vampire love story. I want it to be real. I want it to not be compared to any other books, and for it to be my own. It will take a while before I publish it, due to my busy life outside of Wattpad, however, I want to publish it. I want to make beautiful aesthetically pleasing covers for all of my books. 
          Most of all, I want my books to someday have an impact on people, like the books I read when I was younger. I want my books to feel like a place where someone can escape and not feel so alone. I want to create ideas that will make people think and will help them out in any way possible. 
          I just have to get there first, and I believe that that someday is possible. 
          Thank you to anyone out there who is still reading, following me, or keeping up with the books I've written. I appreciate all of you.

I know I haven’t written a story in a long, long time, so I am thinking about completing one of my old stories that I never got around to finishing and publishing one of those. The problem with me is, I get a good burst of ideas, then I write one idea and move onto to the next one. It is a seriously bad habit that I wish to not continue, because I want to be a professional writer someday and in order to do that I need to learn not to give up on my ideas. 
          Anyway, this was just an idea that popped into my head. It is not official yet, so don’t get too excited! 

Hello everyone! I know that it has been a while since I last updated Young Blood, and the reason that is is because I have had writer’s block for a while on this story and I am thinking about putting it on hold. The other alternative would be to unpublish it, write every chapter over a certain time period, and republish a completed version of it. Please, if you are reading this book, tell me what I should do. I don’t want to let you down or disappoint you more than I already have, so the best thing to do would be to let you guys decide what I should do. 
          Thanks for reading and listening to me. I’ll talk to you all soon! :) 

@flaringly Aww…I’m glad to hear that! That makes me so happy to know that I could positively influence someone’s day! Thank you for your kind reply and I hope that you continue with this story. You are VERY welcome! 

Omg youre so sweet you dont know how happy you made meee really :) You made me inspired to really keep on writing. have a nice day sweetheart and thank you so much! updates are generally on weekends so I hope thats good for you. You made me really happy :)

Exciting news! I just finished writing the first chapter of Young Blood told from Twyla's point of view! (This book will be switching between Asher and Twyla every chapter, just so you know.) I got a new laptop which types a lot better, so I will probably be able to finish stories faster! Unfortunately, I can't upload it because I attempted to copy and paste the chapter from Word, which didn't work because a pop-up from Wattpad kept telling me that the Internet program, (a.k.a. the website), was having an issue. Did anyone else get this notification? It might just be my new computer or the Word program, though, so I wouldn't worry too much about it if I were you. Anyway, I'm sorry to keep you waiting because I know that fifty-four of you are anticipating an update and can not give you that at the moment. If you must, you can delete this book from your library because the updates are too slow, but I encourage you to wait since the first chapter MIGHT be uploaded soon. I can't promise anything, but I assure you that IT WILL BE UPLOADED. :D
          (Typed and posted from my laptop)

Hey guys, please ignore my last two updates, as my phone was being glitchy and kept posting what I wanted to say without letting me finish typing, so, I decided to switch over to my iPod, which, surprisingly, doesn’t glitch quite as badly. 
          Anyway, you’re probably wondering why I haven’t updated Young Blood since March of this year, and I will tell you why. First, I had a ton of homework to do, which was absolutely horrible. Then, I had to push myself to write the flashback from Twyla’s point of view because I wanted to get to the more exciting parts. 
          So why am I not posting the first chapter now? Well, I haven’t finished writing it, since it took me a long time to finish the flashback and now that I am in the “present” part of the story, I’m having trouble writing that too. Also, my laptop has been shutting off for no reason lately, so it must have acquired a virus somehow due to the random websites I visit sometimes. My dad is taking it in to get fixed, so I won’t have it tomorrow, which means minus one day until the end of summer to update. 
          But, I promise you that I will try my hardest to get this first chapter published even if it takes longer than I plan it to because in my mind I feel like I have let all of you down. 
          And that makes me ashamed of myself, because you depended on me and I failed miserably. 
          Still, I am NOT and will NOT give up on this story, because no matter how hard I try, thoughts of this book just keep coming back. 
          And that’s a good thing. :)

          Thank you! I might be deleting it and rewriting/reediting it, so watch out for that! :) I am not satisfied entirely with it, so that is the reason why!
