potential TW | anxiety
          
          so... 2 years is a long gap huh?
          
          surprise! i'm alive and thriving. life got in the way a little bit there and honestly i don't know where to start.
          
          first and foremost, thank you for everyone who stayed. i know wattpad is nowhere near what it used to be, trust me it's one of the reasons it took me so long to come back, but i appreciate everyone who still enjoys my stories over the past 8 or so years.
          
          anyone who remembers me knows i was in quite a bad place a few years ago. that gap from being a silly little 14 year old reading fanfics every day and being a full grown adult put life into perspective a lot. a lot changed in my personal life that meant i couldn't dedicate as much time to writing as i'd like, to the point i lost all my spark. i probably didn't write anything for nearly 2 years even before i properly left as my anxiety was so severe i let myself bedrot after my terrible experiences at university. but i'm in a much better place now. i put myself into therapy, i have a strong support team around me and i'm now looking after myself and feeling happier in life. i finally got the long awaited diagnosis that I am deaf in my left ear, something i've been fighting for over a decade and i now wear hearing aids. my quality of life has changed so much to the point that i now feel more me again.
          
          and that's why i'm back.
          
          i may be grown but i love and appreciate my roots. the escapism this app has given me, the friends i've made... i'm not ready to give it up. even if nobody reads my material, i feel good knowing my work is out there and has been enjoyed. safety pin was a huge success for me but even now, bts i've been rewriting it and have had tremendous feedback from my girls bekah and shan that the story feels different now. maybe i'll share it here, maybe i won't but it feels good knowing i have that choice.
          
          books will be finished, stories will be told along with a couple new ones along the way. thank you for sticking with me <3

Accidental 2 year wait but the enchantress chapter 28 is finally up! better late that never i suppose

Listening to the playlist of the Enchantress on repeat actually gives me so much dopamine which is concerning considering how sad 90% of the playlist is!

Hi lovely,

HEART OF GOLD MAJOR UPDATE
          
          TW // ed
          
          Heart of Gold has been unpublished.
          
          I don’t have the motivation to write that story at the moment with the amount of stressful things going on in my life right now and while I have left it for some time, I decided to unpublish it for now. 
          
          To put things blunt I’ve recently developed an eating disorder. I have been really struggling recently with coming to turns with it while also dealing with the stress of dropping out of uni and full time work. 
          
          On top of this I still have issues with writing this story because of what Dani (my ex co-write) did to me. This story was our baby, our collective thought and as much as I’ve tried, I really can’t put pen to paper properly without her. It doesn’t help that I’ve also fallen out of love with Twilight and have no interest writing about it. 
          
          Therefore seeing the book with 504k reads and hundreds of notifications on the story everyday, bashing me for Dani’s mistakes, pleading for updates and critiquing the characters - I can’t help but feel terrible. 
          
          This doesn’t mean it won’t be back but I need to put my health first and if unpublishing this story if going to help me, that’s what I’m going to do. 
          
          I’m sorry if I’ve disappointed everyone. 
          
          Lorna
