Hi, guys!
          
          It's been a long time coming. But I'm back!
          
          I'm not sure for how long but I'm super excited to start writing my new story, "Finding Ellie".
          
          First chapter is coming on 1/31, and I am super super stoked to even share this with you guys. 
          I've been out in the wild, writing stories and publishing them as books, but I've really missed you guys to pieces so I'm back for a bit.
          
          But for the really important stuff- what is this story about?
          
          It's a genre I've never written before and I'll be honest, I'm not plotting at this point. My characters are leading and I'm following the way!
          
          To ease your excitement, though, I will be for sure sending you a little something the day before the chapter is ready to remind you that it's coming!
          
          Chapters are posted weekly/biweekly starting Friday. 
          
          This story is in the Teen Fiction/Romance genre with an action subplot. I'm not even totally sure how it's going to go. But we're gonna see. 
          
          Who's ready?

It's been a while since I've been active. This account is kind of dead, but mainly due to me starting this new journey of my life.
          
          I've been around for a while, starting this old account back in 2013. I was merely 14 years old, just looking for a reason to find stories to get lost into. 
          
          I recently went through my account, and it's amazing to see how even after all these years, people are still enjoying my little stories that I conjured up as a little kid. 
          
          I say little kid because I'm not little anymore. I just turned 20 a few weeks ago, and I'm really jumpstarting my career by going into my second year of college. 
          
          I'm also jumpstarting my writing career as well. 
          
          For those of who you don't know,  I am officially a published author. I published back in 2018, and I have something big up my sleeve for 2020. I did a lot of research, including getting books on how to write better because I've figured out my weak points, and I'm also taking a worldbuilding course (that's right, your girl jumped from YA romance to upper YA Fantasy/Paranormal) because this series is super important to me. I have an editor who's even more amazing. 
          
          And it's honestly all due to one story. Beautiful Scars. You guys supported me during the earliest stages of my writing, and because of that, I decided to make that dream turn into action. 
          
          You guys are a big reason as to why I do what I do. 
          
          I deleted all of my inactive stories, because I don't feel I'll ever be back on here again except for the occasional looking at everything. My account isn't closed, though, so my stories that are complicated are available for you to enjoy 
          
          Thank you for all of the support.
          
          Lots of love,
          
          Katlyn. 

After being unactive for so, so long, I thought you guys would like to see this little treat.. https://www.wattpad.com/story/150267214

I’m pretty sure majority of you are shocked to even see this message, but I just wanted to check in. 
          
          It’s been a while, guys. A long while since I’ve written on here. And honestly I’m kind of debating on coming back but I don’t really want to leave you hanging. I’m not that kinda gal. 
          
          I used Wattpad as an outlet for my creative expression for so long. There were plenty of stories that I wanted to share on here but I stopped myself for a long, long time out of fear, I guess. 
          
          One of the things that I’ve recently realized is that I do want to come back to Wattpad. But maybe not like I used to be. I’m published now, and I’m currently writing for publication. Not Wattpad publication, but actual publication from this point forward. But I still want to write on here. 
          
          I’ve decided there are stories that don’t have sequels yet. Many of you have heard of Beautiful Scars? The sequel is coming. Many of you have read As Fortune Would Have It? The sequel is coming as well. 
          
          I guess what I’m trying to say is that I’m coming back! But it’s going to be a little different. Chapters will be longer, stories more developed, as well as slower updates but I AM coming back.

Hi. Are you going to add another book to the Beautiful Scars series? Just curious.

Many of you Wattpad fans have never read my debut published novel, so as a treat, TODAY ONLY it is absolutely free!
          
          
          Feel free to press buy to your heart’s content!

Tysm for the follow! And thank you for voting on Sight! <3

Thanks for adding The End of Innocence to your reading list!

I haven't been online in so long and seeing that legit breaks my heart. For that, I truly apologize but school is all over the place, not to mention the fact that I am currently getting my book ready for publication. This process is a lot more stressful than one would think, but I plan on coming back to Wattpad soon after to finish up "Immerse". As for writing other novels on here, I am truly debating as lots of my novels have potential for publication outside of Wattpad, but the "Beautiful Silence" novel, sequel to Beautiful Scars, and also "Her Beautiful Scars", the spin-off to Beautiful Scars will be written within the years to come. Short stories will also be published. BUT..I encourage those of you to follow my author Facebook page if you want to reach me, as I'm more active on there. 
          I just want to let you guys know I haven't forgotten about you. You are the reason why I gained confidence to know my work had potential, but not just small potential, but potential to change lives. So many fans from all over the world had the opportunity to read my stuff, and I just want to let you guys know..being able to experience being a change in this world to some of you..was truly a eye-opening moment for me. It just proves that words have power, and words can change lives. At age fifteen, I never expected for my work to go anywhere, but now after almost three years, almost four, it finally is. Local bookstores are shelving my work and so is Amazon, and I'm also doing signed copies. 
          
          You guys have truly changed me, and for that, it's given me the purpose to change others for the greater good, but regardless of what happens, even if writing on here is slim to none, my Wattpad will ALWAYS remain active as a reminder of my stories. None of them will be taken down, either, because this is where they were born, so they deserve to stay. 
          
          Again, I'm sorry for being inactive, but I will be back online sometime soon. I love you guys <3
