So the app that I use to help me write stories, had a quote unquote update that deleted everything. All of the plot points, and history of multiple stories are f**king gone. Now luckily I only updated it on one device which means I still have them on the other devices. But that also means using an out-of-date app which is incredibly slow buggy and prone to glitching. Which means I have to wait for another update that will hopefully fix the issue. And then I have to go to every single one that I have on other devices, write a test script. And hopefully, have those plot points and other things transfer over to the latest version. Before I can actually update a majority or at least some of my more popular stories. Well granted this doesn't mean I can focus more on the other stories that I've been stuck on and try to crack past my writer's block. And also means that my more popular stories aren't going to be updated anytime soon. Which is annoying, though granted I have over 140 stories stress over multiple websites.  I don't know if this is the blessing in disguise or just very f**king annoying. I'm also thinking of making a public discord to discuss stories and plots. As well as possibly getting help on updating other stories that I didn't have saved to that app. I'm going to make it clear this is not a Wattpad app. Because I have multiple stories on multiple websites I thought using a centralized app would help me update quicker and it did for a while unfortunately due to this mistake on their part. Either have to find a new application to use transfer everything over which I can't. Or wait for them to fix it and hope that the data is recoverable. Either way I'll try to update some stories regardless, though I'm not sure which ones at the moment. And all I have a lot of them to update and some of them have been waiting years and I apologize. I'll try to work more even though I'm not really emotionally or mentally okay at the moment but maybe it'll help.

I've come to realize that having over 120 books that I need to update is insane. And that's just counting Wattpad if I go outside of Wattpad, I have over a hundred and forty maybe even 150 and I am trying to maintain an update. And due to massive amounts of IRL bullsh-t I am having a hard time keeping up updates. So, while I'm not wanting to discontinue any books, nor do I want to leave them unupdated. I have made a decision, if you have read my books and are wanting one specifically to be updated, and you want to try your hand at writing. If it's one I personally don't think I'll be able to get to soon or at all. I'm willing to let people adopt some of my stories, or if you don't want to put them on your own account. I am willing to commission writers to continue them and post them with the other chapters. I will of course give credit to the author, either linking their account or at least putting their name at the top of the story. And of course possible payment, the amount of which will be depending on the number of factors. 
          
          I know what some people were going to say, you could just use AI to supplement your time and edit it yourself to make it sound better. I've actually gotten that proposal multiple times, and I don't know if I like it. If you don't mind maybe possibly using AI to supplement my time because of the insurmountable bullsh*t that is my life.

Say so here, if you think I should just commission someone to write for me or put some stories out for adoption that's fine too. I would honestly like to write the stories myself because I enjoy writing. But it's becoming increasingly clear that I really don't have the time to sit down and update 100 plus books in any meaningful amount of time. My goal for a while has been to start a company that does entertainment. Stories, comics, videos, games, etc, but at the moment I don't have the time money or resources to do any of that. If you want to join in on that, as a volunteer. Once I have time money and resources, I can fully startup a company and hire you instantly. But until that time I either need, someone to adopt some of my stories, someone to help me write some of the stories, or use AI to help right some of the stories. 
            
            And the fact of the matter is the company may not ever start up at all. Looking at the economy especially, is it becoming increasingly obvious that certain people in the government in a certain party of the government. Hate people starting companies, they don't want private businesses they want government-owned get bullsh*t. Which makes it increasingly, and annoyingly. Harder to open up, and start a company legitimately. Outside of me finding an area to start my own country and give myself the license to actually have a business. It's becoming increasingly apparent that I might not be able to start any kind of company at all. That doesn't mean I'm going to stop trying, and if I have people lined up that can help do that. It'll make it much easier when I have time, money, and the ability to actually get a proper business started. Now that's the long of the short of it this announcement has been long and rambling but it's honestly just me venting most of my frustrations. I hope you understand my position and I thank you for your understanding, and patience.

Hey, so I know it's been weird lately, at least it has been for me IRL. And that's made a difficult to go back and update all of the older stories, or really any of the stories. Though I have been able to write a few chapters of newer stuff. I have been also going back and trying to update other stories. It's just been really difficult due to a lot of personal things, but I am trying. Right now I am trying to update the Sans reborn in my hero story. But it's hard, a lot of shit IRL kind of killed my creativity. Depression hits very hard, and a lot of difficult and unusual situations have been popping up randomly just constantly. I honestly can't think of any examples at the moment, I apologize for that. I'm just really at the end of my rope when it comes to all the crap. Mentally, emotionally, physically, spiritually, metaphysically, you name it I'm just fucking exhausted. I did try to write a bit, I had been working on a story for around 3 to three and a half hours. And what happened, pissed me off so bad, I was working on the story when I guess I hit control or some key on the keyboard and then I hit R, which reset the whole thing, refresh the page whatever the hell. And all that work was gone because apparently it didn't save, and that just fucking killed my mood man for writing. So I just took a break that was about 2 days ago. Maybe it was yesterday it's hard to tell time at the moment. Anyway but I am working on stories, just ever so very slowly like a glacial Mound moving across the fields. Anyway I thought I'd make a comment to explain what's going on, that's going on. Thanks for support or understanding or whatever it's just getting so hard to get up everyday. Yeah... But I'm Trucking keep on trucking... And now I'm rambling so cut the comment here I guess...

By the way all of this is going to be speech to text because I don't have the cognitive faculties to sit down and write all this at the moment due to everything that's going on. So it's going to seem a bit Raw, and unedited because it is, it's raw emotion just throwing on the paper/screen.
          
          I thought it was finally time for me to explain why I haven't been updating any stories so far. I've been actually trying to update around 20 to 30 I think, but unfortunately I've been either sick, or just dealing with IRL stuff. Plus the holidays, you know Christmas and whatnot, but that's more of a at the moment thing than in general. I actually suffer from major near crippling depression, as well as other health issues. And on top of that I have to deal with other interpersonal/family issues. Like my sister's kid was legally kidnapped illegally, what do I mean by that? The kid's biological father, who refused to sign the birth certificate. Suddenly decided after finding out he could get a tax write off for having kids. To fuck up the legal system, by claiming that my sister is abusive, and that the half brother was trying to unalive the kid, and then paying off with the help of his current ex-girlfriend, people from the DCFS, as well as filing multiple anonymous claims through Child Protective Services. In order to try and get legal custody of a child that by the state law they were in he had no legal right to because he never signed the birth certificate and wavered his rights as a father. According to the state law that they were in legally speaking he didn't have the right to hold the child in his custody at all. The kids should have went to the closest legal relative, whether it be a grandma, aunt, uncle or otherwise.

I know, I know, I need to update a lot of stories. I'm working on it, it's just hard to get going on them due to a LOT of factors so sorry for that. But hopefully I get a inspiration explosion and can hit it hard like I was doing before with 2-8 chapters a day for a month. Or not I don't know...

An idea that might help you with organizing stories you wanna do in the future and stories you might want to do now is to use the notes app or any other where you can write and start making ideas or writing for some of the stories you have to complete and make the chapters bit by bit you don’t have to finish them in one go just write a little of one story and a little of the other and you’ll be able to finish 1 chapter at some point and also if you come up with a new story while doing this you can use this to organize yourself 
          Another idea you could try when making new stories have the first 3 to 5 chapters written out and once you have them upload them 1 by 1 weekly so you can pace yourself and possibly come up with more

@Gacha917 tried that before didn't help, but thank you for the advice
