Hey, I'm writing again.  Crossing my fingers I can submit this story for the Watty Awards but I'm having some technical at the moment. https://www.wattpad.com/story/57355299

I am back, Wattpad fam!  
          And I'm picking Green Jacket Girl up again!  I am in a much better spot in my life and I feel as though I can make that story into something great.  I think I can make that story into something that will really affect other people's lives.  I've learned a lot about myself in the last couple months and I am so excited to get writing again.  I know now exactly what I want for Kimberly and what I want for myself.  Look forward to it.  I'll be posting the beginning chapters again soon.  I love you people and I'm thankful for all the support you give me.  -Skylark

Hey sorry guys. 
          
          I guess I'm just proving how much of a quitter I am. I thought for sure that I'd plan, write, and finish Green Jacket Girl this summer but I don't think I can. 
           
          It's just very hard to write when I've written someone exactly like me to be the main character. The only difference was our names. I was writing about me and I was planning on giving Green a healthy happy ending with a better outlook on life, long-term friends, and a guy that she likes. She would be getting something completely opposite than what I really have. And while the written words would've sounded nice and uplifting, the more I thought about it the more depressed it made me feel. 
          
          They say true hell would be when you meet the person you could have been. And I felt like I was writing about her. 
          
          I know. I know. It's just a story. But I don't like being so emotionally attracted to something like this. It makes writing painful and I want it to be fun. 
          
          Maybe once I'm past this rough spot on my life and once I too can be healthy, happy, and confident I'll pick this book back up again. But I'm not done experiencing my adolescence nor am I ready to write Green an unrealistic happy ending. And I'm sure you don't want to read a sad ending.
          
          Any who. I'm not done with writing stories yet! I've got to move on to better things. I want to write stories that i don't want to stop writing. Something fun and exciting. Look out. I might just post something soon. 

Soooooo.... I think I'm changing my mind about leaving Wattpad. I didn't think I really had an impact in the Wattpad community other than like the few people who are my family and friends that I know in RL. But man @MariaACW 's comment really made me think about what my stories are doing. If there is at least one person who has found me only through Wattpad and has enjoyed my work (and I have enjoyed hers. You're golden.) them maybe I should stay. I've found that if you look hard enough in this world of chaos there are people here striving hard to create quality work. Maria writes quality work. So I'm going to stay with the minority of us that are actually trying to further our writing abilities into something great. I hope that one day, our "popular" news feeds won't be filled with raunchy book but with quality books that take on real meaning that can affect people positively. 
          
          So, Maria, I think you've convinced me. Haha. Thanks. :)

Hey followers! Thanks for all that you do. I'm sorry to say this but I believe I will be pulling my stories from Wattpad and deleting my account. There's so many trashy, raunchy, and almost pornographic books here that I don't want my stories lumped in with on this site. Most writers here aren't trying very hard. They only want to put their sexual fantasies into words. I dream of creating quality stories. I may or may not be reappearing on fiction press or a different writing app. Thanks for the reads and votes. The deleting of this account will happen within 2 weeks. If you want, you can re-read That was the Summer before it's gone. ;) Peace, friends. 

That was the Summer is back up... lol but don't feel like you have to read that cheesy mess.

Freakin' people!
          
          Would you cut it out!?  How come the only people who comment on this book are people just correcting my mechanics?  I'm alright if you do that but could you comment on the stories, characters and material not just my gramatical/ spelling errors?
          
          So here's a rule: Should you feel a  strong urge to comment about my spelling or mechanics, you must also write a comment on how you feel about the story.
          
          Thank you!

Hey!  I'd like to thank everyone who supported me in writing That was the Summer.  I'm so glad I finally got a book done even if it was short.  Those who haven't read it yet and are in to teenage romance, check it out!  You might like it.

Thanks for adding my story to your reading list. I really appreciate it

thanks for following back :)
