Hey there. Been a hot minute since I've interacted on the app. For several  reasons,  I been busy as of late. Helping my mother with my ailing father has taken a lot of my time. Having a full time  job doesn't help at all. I have  been writing a lot though.  Posting  here seems to be hit or miss since which has been in a lot of ways self defeating mentally. 
          
          With not a lot of time to promote my work or bug people  to read my work seems a waste of energy.  So I decided to just take a break from the app that has caused me stress.
          
          I have met some wonderful people here. I met some people that are as passionate about writing, but at the end of the day all have been getting lately are comments on how they could help me make my work better for a price.
          
          So again the reason I took a break.
          
          Which has let me relax and finish my book The Road to Nowhere. Yes it's done. Yes I started the next book in the series. Will I post it? That would be a hard no.
          
          But not for any real negative reason. My book is in the publishing stage now. Looking at a January release. I just decided to let you all know. Those who helped me grow as a writer... Thank you. Those who doubted me... also Thank you. 
          
          Will I continue to post on here? Probably but it will be regulated to my fanfiction stuff. 
          
          My original stories will not be posted here simply because I spent more than three years of my life trying to gain a following here that just didn't materialize, in some ways my fault. I don't write trendy stuff. But in other ways I think the site is geared to what the site owners  think they can sell to make a few bucks.
          
          So this isn't  good bye just see you later.
          
          Be blessed and keep dreaming. 
          
          Those who dare...Win.

@Outrider51 I hope to finish reading that book if you are publishing! Keep us posted on where the sequel goes for sale! (And yes it has indeed become harder to get a following and reads!)

Hi Sir!
          Remember me? Your loyal reader of "The Road to Nowhere" from the former bookclub we both were in: I'll be back to reread it this Fall as this summer I have been writing my own short story again. It's a mystery short story for a contest. Haven't done one in quite a while so it was a bit tough as I had to do some Police research. And within only 10 chapters, it became super long than what I imagined.
          
          Anyway, glad to see you are still in Wattpad, while others are leaving.
          May the force be with you as well!
          Pia

Hey there Riders! I have completed Dantari Unleashed. I haven’t mark it as complete yet because I want to do some editing  and maybe go all out with some visual  aspects (i.e. maybe Character page and pictures for each  chapter. ) I welcome readers to vote and leave comments as always. 
          
          
          May the Force be with you, always.

Release a new chapter of Dantari Unleashed. Focus on the Here and Now is available now for your continued reading pleasure. Kiani and Quinn venture to escape. Before they engage, Tahesia flares within Kiani. Can Quinn help her regain control?

I can't express my sheer surprise at achieving #340 in science fiction in less than two weeks. My Star Wars fanfiction of my original character, Kiani, has been on and off again throughout the years. 
          
          Though I haven't received any votes or comments yet, I'm still quite shocked at the achievement. It should be no surprise that something I love, such as the Star Wars Universe, is a passion shared by many. I have raised my children and now my grandchildren, on the movies, comics, and books I have in my collection.
          
          Fun fact: one of my granddaughters is named Kiani. Yes, my daughter grew up reading and discussing my character from her early teens and loved the character so much she named her child after my fictional character.
          
          So, if you have time to spare, give it a read. Leave votes and, above all, engage with comments.
          
          I really appreciate any help you can provide.
