Wow, it's almost the end of 2022 and I have not been active here since 2019??? I haven't forgotten about this site, but I haven't written a lot of fic that I felt I could share here. I have some stories on the go which are not in the Simple Plan or A7X fandoms and time will tell if I feel comfortable sharing them here. One is a His Dark Materials fanfic, and the other is a Sebastian Stan fanfic. So we will see. But, I am still floating around. I've also not read a lot of fiction lately...so haven't read any of the stories I follow here in a very long time. 
          
          So, that's me.

For those who have been following my two newest stories, I do apologise that the updates have slowed down. I have to admit that when I started writing them I wasn’t working for a short while as I’d had eye surgery and had to take time off work. But, now I’m back at work full time and writing has slowed down because I’m super tired after work. But, rest assured I am writing still as I’ve found my mojo again and I’m enjoying the stories I’m creating. 
          
          Thanks for understand though :) 

It’s been many months since I’ve posted on this site, and I am not sure whether I will continue to do so. A lot has happened in my life since I last visited. The biggest, most impactful event was that of my husband passing away in November, last year. Just over three months ago, due to complications from his chronic kidney disease and renal failure my husband went home to be with God. I’m still navigating the season of grief and so my motivation to write or even look at my writing has waned, though I have put my hand to some random passages.
          
          But, most of my focus has been on writing in a journal...and often just repetitive thoughts surrounding the season I am facing. I miss my husband with every fibre of my being, but due to my faith in Christ I know I will see him again. It’s just not easy attempting to live that belief every day, when it feels so empty without him here with me.
          
          I may start writing something brand new as some form of therapy, but my fanfics that I did start posting on here will most likely go on an indefinite hiatus, and I can’t apologise for that. I am in a different part of my life, and I also need to move forward without forgetting. I will never forget. He was worth it.
          
          Anyway, that’s where I’m at.
          
          Hope all of you who still might engage with my writing is well, and if life is getting you down, reach out to those close to you. I’ve been doing that plenty in this time.

I’ve re-added my Hot Baguettes Fic and updated it :) please do enjoy.

I am going to be honest with myself, first and foremost, and then with you my readers:
          
          I don't think that I can continue writing The Baker Tapes. For several reasons. One, Zacky isn't co-operating with me. Ha. Second, I haven't the time or energy to focus on it as it is a sequel to a firmly established story in and of itself i.e. Shadows Creed. Third, I believe if I step away from it completely, I may be able to revisit it properly in the future.
          
          I want to apologise to those who are invested in it, but, I just can't find the inspiration to finish it at this time in my life. I have several other stories that also fall into this category of needing a rest as well, but this is the big one. 
          
          I've decided to unpublish it on here until further notice.

I haven’t updated some of my stories in a long time, and I apologise. I’m planning on sharing some of my older finished stories on here, at some point to try and keep active on here. The two stories I am trying to work on this year, Bed Hair and Baker Tapes have been slow going, but I haven’t forgotten them. Thank you for being patient with me. Life has been hectic, and my husband and I have been battling health issues so not a lot of time or energy for writing. I’m hoping 2018 will be a little different.

Thanks so much for the comment on White Rabbit, and all of the votes. =) It's great to hear from you! And I'm so far behind on reading your stories right now that it's not even funny.

Well, hey. I had no idea you were on Wattpad. =P This is Haylie Jaed.
