I was thinking to myself, "I wish the authors who's stories I'm reading would update." And then I realized that some of you guys possibly feel the same about me. So...
          
          Long time, no see. I haven't had any time to update recently, it's like all of my teachers came together and decided that two weeks of nothing but testing was the most amazing idea ever *eye roll*. It wasnt finals but tests are a huge part of my grade, so I pretty much dropped everything just to study. 
          
          I also got a new job which is a lot of fun. Great coworkers and really nice pay. But jobs also take up a ton of time, so I haven't had a tone of time to write. 
          
          The Perfect Photo is over 1k which is astounding and shocking. I honestly didnt even think anyone would read my stories after My Love. Speaking of My Love, it's almost at 30k which is such an unreal number for me. I dont even understand it tbh. 
          
          So thank you to everyone who has stayed and read, even though I'm sporadically post and ghost. Honestly, I sometimes forget that I write on here until I get notifs about people voting. 
          
          I'll post whenever I have the time. Thanks for understanding

Hey, I posted a new chapter for A Terrible, Beautiful Romance. It's got Luke and Maia in it, and I like it a lot tbh. My schedule really looney cuz I'm back in school but I hope you guys enjoy it   

Hey, I know it's been a long time since you've all heard from me, unless you've commented and I've responded, or you've seen my comments on other stories. I've thought about removing my uncompleted stories because I haven't been able to write for them in a while. 
          
          I'm sorry about that, not being able to update. I lost my cousin to COVID19, and she was like a sister to me. So I've been mourning and wallowing in my depression. With more of my black brothers and sisters getting lynched and killed everyday, its put an impossibly heavy weight on my chest. Change is on it's way, but the fight is a challenge to endure. 
          
          I've thought about updating, and making long chapters is just not something I can currently do. If i try to make long chapters, I might never update because I can keep myself in a stable enough mental state to complete them. Choose whichever story you want me to update, and I'll make smaller chapters for them. Updating will probably still be slow however

Hey guys, I wrote a chapter for each story today. I thought I was being really productive. But while I was doing the final edits, Wattpad wouldn't stop crashing. So about 8k words with of work got erased. I'm so mad right now. I spent all day writing and nothing was able to be saved. 
          
          I'll try writing some more tomorrow but my flow was amazing today.

Hey, what happened to AtowncalledMalec? Like I haven't heard anything in a while and I just found out that their profile doesnt exist anymore. I'm so confused. I remember she was upset about someone copying her book but idk. She left some really great books/ideas behind. Some of my favorite authors have left Wattpad and tbh I have thought of leaving but I'm not. I'm on hiatus but I'll be back (hopefully) soon. 
          
          (Sorry this is so informal. It's a spur of the moment message)

Hello Nat sorry to hear about that.I'm here if you need someone to vent to .I love your stories they are very captivating I think I have all of them lol.Stay positive even if you think that there is nothing positive in your life and most of all pray to God talk to Him all the time coz we may not also be available all the time.Don't shut it in your head as you said you scream it out,then do so.As long as you feel better afterwards. Lots of love from Kenya. You should visit here sometime with your friends and family... Cheers...

Hey guys, it's been forever since I've given any type of update, and I'm sorry for that. Unfortunately, my mental health hit rockbottom mid-November. That was my lowest point in a long time. Long story short; lots of rain, lots of screaming and crying at midnight. Sounds cliche but it was truly awful. Since then I've been attempting to repair the damage of  mental breakdown, severe anxiety and depression. Its been tough. 
          I haven't abandoned Wattpad though, I'm just going through a tough time and need some breathing space. I've been adding a little on to the stories whenever I think of something but they aren't my priority. 
          
          On a positive note, I just turned 19 and went to Russia with some friends and family. Being out of the country and far away from my problems was a great experience and I feel like I'm in a better, if only slightly, headspace. 
          
          Stay strong and Love Yourself

Thanks for the new chapter. I love the story and your writing.  Thanks Thanks thanks

Hey Captain Nemos'! It's been quite a while, actually over a month since I've last given an update. In the last update I thought I'd be able to push out a chapter, but that didn't happen. I've done so many papers and then the first semester will end soon, so I'm studying for exams while analyzing Edgar Allen Poe. It's been a lot. I'm so sorry for not being able to post chapters like I said I would. I greatly underestimated college life and workload. 
          
          But I do have an option if anyone still comes to my page. I have about 3k words wrote for Malec and what happens in the chapter for Terrible Beautiful Romance. I don't have the Saphael part written yet, however. So I can edit and post the Malec part soon. Or I'll have to wait until I get more time to write the Saphael part. 
          
          Again I'm so sorry that I wasn't able to do what I said I would. 
          
          Be happy, stay strong and Love Yourself

Hey Captain Nemos', you know when Fall begins and there's always that ome person that tells you that it's flu season and you should be careful, and get a flu shot extra early? Well, you should listen to that person because guess who got the flu? That's right me, I had the flu for about a week and I've been spending every minutes since doing make up work. I'm finally all caught up and I'll be able to start writing again. 
          
          I don't think I'm going to go on schedule since it's been so long but I'm just going to work on what I have inspiration for and whichever gets finished first I'll post. I'm sorry that I've been silent but the flu is terrible and a lot worse than I remember. 
          
          Be happy, stay strong, Love Yourself
