Don't know what compelled me to log back into this abandoned account today, but here I am. Being able to look back at my unfinished stories is sort of bittersweet -- I had so much fun writing them back then, but I just ended up losing the drive to finish them after a while. It's something I always think about and regret since I especially know how it feels to be a reader of an amazing fanfic that has unfortunately been discontinued. I read and appreciate all of the comments you all have left me on my stories, it makes me feel like I will one day be able to return and begin writing again! But until then...

So here's PSA that's long overdue: I'm discontinuing ALL of my stories! Or... something like that. I deleted all of my stories on FF.net, but decided to leave them here just in case I change my mind about discontinuing them. There's a whole explanation as to why I made this choice and what I will be doing moving forward from now on my profile on FF.net. I strongly encourage you to press the link in my bio to read it. Thanks for being here up until this point. I know I've just continued to disappoint y'all over these last few years by updating slow or not  bothering to update altogether. I just couldn't do that to you guys anymore for the sake of my own sanity.

I'm revamping some things on my profile at FF.net and here. They're subtle but necessary changes -- I'm hoping that by changing things it will spark some motivation for my writing muse.

Well.
          
          I suppose an excuse after being M.I.A. for over a year now wouldn't be appropriate. 
          
          So, with that in mind, the only reason I can give you or whoever else sees this post, is that I am simply lazy and out of ideas.
          
          I started all three of my stories when I was 13. Now I'm 16, my writing has improved and Lord knows how DESPRATELY, I want to scrap all three of them. Just bad writing, cliche ideas, bad grammar . However, this is not what I will be doing. 
          
          I will be continuing each of my stories, even if at this point it really seems like a stretch. I  have betas for 'Strawberry-Scented Reality' and 'Altered Friendships' now so there I am going to be editing my past mistakes, which are many, as well. 
          
          I don't like to leave anything unfinished -- as a reader myself, I know how it feels when an author does that. But unfortunately, I cannot garuntee a steady update scheduele. The only thing I can say for sure is the update-cycle between each of my stories will continue and 'Altered Friendships' is next on my list.
          
          Sorry is pretty pointless at this point as well so to whoever reads this post, I hope you can understand. 
          
          Thank you.

Hey Guys! I AM ALIVE and well and I have finally, after 8 long months, posted the 18th chapter of 'Strawberry-Scented Reality.' It has been edited by my editor (Chapters  7- 17 have yet to be finished editing) and it is complete and ready for you to read. Thanks for sticking with me this long. I know I am not the best updater but I appreciate your support nonetheless. Enjoy!

I have finally decided to seek out an editor! Her username is Hikari M666 but she is not a user on Wattpad. She is a user on my main site, Fanfiction.net. We are currently working on editing my chapters in, 'Strawberry-Scented Reality.' I'm hoping for the best and I'm really grateful she chose to help my story. Check her profile out at: https://www.fanfiction.net/u/708706/ 
          She writes fanfiction for Naruto as well as other fandoms if you are interested.

Oh btw, forgot to mention, check my profile on my main account on fanfic.net and look for updates on my stories! (Link in my bio)

"Finally!" is what my faithful fans of 'The Shame of Going Backwards' are thinking! I hope you haven't forgot about it just yet. I know this story's update has been long overdue and I'm super mad at myself for not bringing it out for you guys sooner. Life has and still is occupying me at the moment. I'm so busy I feel like my mind is going to explode. Nevertheless, I still knew that I was obligated to finish Chapter 4. I hope you all enjoy and  it was worth the wait.

Chapter 6 of Altered Friendships up and done. Next up, "The Shame of Going Backwards." That'll probably be updated next year in 2015 XD. Hope ya'll enjoy and make sure to check out my website on fanfiction.net for more updates and info on my pending stories.
