Hey, guys. As some of you know, I recently got a job. This is why my book updates have paused. I'm sorry to keep you waiting. I'm trying hard to get a schedule going so I will have time to write some more of Mischiefs Kisses. If you want to follow me on IG I am doing really short stories over there. Anyway, I got a job as a sort of I guess librarian for an animal shelter thrift store. I sort, price and stock books every day. We get tons of books every day and I am all by myself. It's hard to keep up and right now I am falling behind and the books are stacking up. But at least I'm finally out in the community making people happy. I love my job and I love my coworkers who do the other donations for the thrift store. Now that it is summer I'm also learning to BBQ which is fun!!!! My horse got really ill and so that is stressful. But I guess that's whats going on in my life....so Cheers everyone and Happy Trails to you.

@deviant_redhead I love my job! My boss Steve is amazing. I get to pet all the puppers that come in to shop with their owners. And because it is a thrift store, I see a lot of repeat customers every week or even day! One called Dale is so fascinating. He's a gold miner (private) and loves books about the Indigenous Peoples. There's a mom and daughter who are always looking for vampire books that live across the street. Cameron who lives in the next town over but is building a cabin for someone comes in every now and then looking for airplane/pilot books for his flight instructing school. Jo is always looking for CJ Box to add to her family's collection as the whole family reads him. One of my partner's coworkers' wife comes in quite often and always gets an assortment of books but mostly for her boys. Her husband loves Marvel too and I'm trying to get him to part with a few of his 70s comics but I don't think he will! LOL

Today I have counted and I have lost over 63 followers in the past few weeks. I don't know why but I'm getting a little discouraged. Only 1 or 2 new reads a month on my main story that I am working so hard on. I just want to give up. Go back to keep my stories to myself and read them when I need to feel happy. That's the way it's been most my life. I thought I would share just a piece of me. I do have a few loyal friends here and I thank you for being here. But it's gotten to...read and vote on my book...which I have always done for you...but I don't get it back. I just feel like quitting. I love my stories with all my heart...I relive my world of fantasies every night. But...there's always a but isn't there? 
          
          I guess I am only disappointed because I cared too much at one time. Monsters are not born, they are created they say. I am running and I feel that it will never end... but I cannot run forever. And then when it's the end I'll....
          
          ...just be a story..a flicker in the moonlight...I will still put one foot in front of the other and the Earth will keep spinning but for now...
          Goodbye Loki...Goodbye Captain Nemo...Goodbye Doctor...Goodbye Olivia...I can only dream of you now.

Thank you, sweetlullaby and FanFics...it means a lot to me. I know I have a couple of readers but my point was that others ask me to read their stories and are constant going on and on about their stories and asking you over and over to read and message every time they update a chapter and ask you to read and vote. When they can't return the kindness...then it becomes sad. And I'm the one who will go the extra mile for anyone and it's disheartening when no one will for you. I experience this in real life too. Every day I want to crawl into my shell and be the best hermit you have ever seen. If I can quote Ron Swanson...and this doesn't mean you...because you guys are my friends...but he said 'I hate the public. The public is stupid.' Every day I see new Karens and Richards. Every day I'm reminded just how selfish of a world we live in and how cheating is now the way to get ahead. And then they brag about it. Honesty no longer has value.

@MissAsgardian I've felt the same lately. I see reads go up, some comment, but not many vote. It is disheartening when we put so much effort into our stories only to feel like they're not being appreciated.
            
            I've sent in a ticket to Wattpad asking to get rid of voting altogether and focus on reads and comments. Voting is outdated now, and makes authors feel not good enough if they don't get them. It's unnecessary and dangerous for mental health.
            
            But I recently wanted to give up Wattpad for the same reason and focus on my novels, though decided to keep writing for those who actually do appreciate my stories as well as myself.
            
            It's hard to give up the need for validation. If writing is something you love, then honestly, keep going. Your creativity is important, to yourself and the world. And you never know who your stories might help.
            Sending love ❤

This month marks the anniversary when I first introduced Loki and Olivia in Mischief's Kisses. I have been working on this book for 1 year now and many more adventures for Loki and Olivia have yet to be written. I added a dedication part to Mischief's Kisses acknowledging my best supporters. SaintPug and Anthony(Hawks is Dabis Bitch) have kept me company while I wrote during this pandemic. You are awesome!

I thought it was cool too.

Mischief Kisses is slow updating. Please forgive me. I'm experiencing some extreme depression. My health isn't the best. I feel like I'm letting you down. I'm pushing myself in general to try and get out of this awful feeling. Thank you to all who have followed me and added the book to their reading lists. I have not abandoned you, my loves.
