Hey guys! 
          	
          	It's been a long time.........I am barely writing these days and its because I've been diagnosed with CPTSD and I am still waiting on further diagnosis but it is potentially ADHD or ADD...............which was a shock. 
          	
          	I know its not huge to some people but for me a diagnosis means a lot and makes a bunch of things make sense.........as it stands I am waiting for my hyper focus for writing to kick back in so I can love writing again.
          	
          	Hope you're all safe and well and thriving xx

@MikaMNgamoki I have been diagnosed. I just find sitting down with as minimal distractions as possible and thinking on what I want next to come in my story really helps. But dont try to do it everyday. Maybe make a scheduled time so your brain gets used to it and you write more frequently thats how I have done it.

Real name, whoddis!?
          
          Hey guys! So I've decided against closing this account for now. The thought did enter my mind many times over the last few months but I am gonna stick with it.
          
          I am back with one story only though, it is all I have the energy to write so that's what I'm gonna do.
          
          I don't expect many if any of you to read along nor do I really expect anyone to still be around (besides a few).
          
          In the last year I haven't improved my writing, grammar or anything so don't expect miracles in that area. I just need to write and remember why I love writing and creating.
          
          Current work is the dark urban fantasy I've been trying to write for the last 8 ish years so.....yeah....think its about time I gave it a serious crack!
          
          Chapter updates will be 2 times a week, it is literally all I have in me.
          
          In the middle of packing my house to move, I have a school aged kid, another kid and a dog to look after which can get taxing. Along with that I am learning to live with PTSD and will be getting help for that at some point in the next year or two.
          
          Say hey if you're around! Miss so many of you like nuts but happy to have not made a snap decision and close this acct >.<
          
          Love and peace everyone.

@MonicaWanjiku7 hi lovely! Sorry for the super late response. All of my books are offline, you can find a couple on Inkitt but the rest have been pulled for now.

Well.....it's happening. 
          
          I am going to my doctor next week to get a referral for a therapist. My mental health has been in decline for many years and its time for me to sort myself out.
          
          The only book I'll be working on is Unsaid and any updates for any of my other books are on hold. 
          
          I need to get myself seen to before things get worse. Wish me luck!
          
          Hope you're all staying safe and well out there xx

@odemira its good that your seeking help and not bottling it up.  Health comes first before anything so I will be rooting for you. On a funnier note (excuse the pun) I lost a couple of chapters I had written down roughly to continue book so will have to reinvent the wheel again it seems. Ah well, not in any rush. Prefer reading to writing so will check yours out again first. Its been so long since i have read anything on here I have forgotten it all. You have a lot of supporters here so if you need to chat, just post. We will be there for you. :0)

Hi. Getting back into reading again so maybe i might force myself to become more creative and actually get more involved. How are you getting on ? Found fame yet ?
          I have to play catchup so will get on it. :o)

MikaMNgamoki

@CJOBrien do it! You've got this,  everything you need to complete your work is within your reach. Don't hate me for hyping you up haha. Oh dear Gods save yourself the trouble and don't read my stuff, it isn't worth it. I'm still working on so much since coming back from my hiatus and it shows in everything. Are you still in the same job? Did you guys have impacts from Covid? Glad to hear you're still working though! I actually don't keep in touch with any of our other bunch, maybe one or two are still going strong with their badges but everyone else quit and many have left Wattpad in general I think....though I literally don't remember names :')

Baby steps I think I need to take but determined to finish that damn story....lol. Going to start with re reading yours as it’s been a while and need some inspiration or a kick up the ass to get me going.....I let you choose....ha ha. Work takes up a lot of my time working 12 hours day and night shifts but I do get a week off once a month so can pencil it in as they say. Anyway, glad your still here as can’t seem to find the others I had links to from the “ course” we attended ages ago. Now to find what I did with all my story notes>>>>>>

@CJOBrien oh wow! Hey mate, long time since I've spoken to you! How's everything going? The writing bug not really there right now? Haha no fame for me, I freaked out and stopped writing for almost 2 years, I'm just getting back into it myself and I am struggling. Hope things are going better or go better for you :)

Well I have managed to shut my shop down for a little while so that I can write.
          
          It's been MONTHS since I've managed to get anything decent on to a page and I am itching to get back into a daily routine that involves anything creative that doesn't involve a sewing machine and lots of noise.
          
          New fantasy and werewolf books coming up. I've been slowly working on new material so that I have a back log of chapters to upload to Wattpad. Some of my old work has migrated to Inkitt and Sabela, Wait and Anora will all be updated on Inkitt one week before they are available on Wattpad.
          
          Yes, I have migrated SOME of my work to Inkitt but not all of it. Lots of things will still be available on my Wattpad account including Northwood, Savage and Alpha Queen. 
          
          Some of what is coming will only be available on one or the other cause apparently I am a crazy nut sack that loves spreading myself super thin. But hey, no gain without a bit of pain right? Or should that be write?
          
          Anywho I am clearly in need of a creative outlet right now so for anyone seeing this, stay safe, take care and I hope you enjoy the fantastical worlds that are to come!

@odemira I published Red Velvet and Anemones of the Pagosa Cliffs Anemones series and finished Pagosa Cliffs Stars on WP/Inkt. I am finishing the Relic of Time Wars series here on WP (it's a million plus words now but The Huntsman Branch of the storyline seems to be the most popular books). 
            At home, Eldest is in college, middle joined the navy, youngest in high school. And the goats  aare being their usual goaty selves and I have a few more Omi sparkles in the hair but the rest is just the changes of the Colorado seasons.

Well, I forgot I had a Wattpad account that wasn't only in the forums  
          
          So....I'm seriously wanting to write again. Work has been insanely busy and I miss the wind downs I used to have with writing. Miss all my fictional babies and their magical little worlds. Miss writing as multiple personalities and putting my characters into interesting situations.
          
          I literally have no idea what I'm going to write.....none of my old work is drawing any kind of inspiration right now so.....yeah. 
          
          If anyone sees this, suggest me a genre to write (not horror please).
