It's been so long since I touched this. The nostalgia is hitting me full force now, haha. I've been through a lot these past three years. I've traveled a few countries, experienced love... and experienced death, met people and left those that were hurting me. I've written a lot by myself, entered a few contests and such, and I've been through a lot of life changing experiences. I feel like I am who I'm supposed to be now. I'm excited to write again, I've dug deep and found my muse, and I can't wait to share all of the stories I've made throughout the years. My first project will be "Diary Of A Poet". Next will be a few projects that are far from perfection, but will improve with the critique of readers, I'm sure. I'm very excited to get back on Wattpad (:

Hi lovely, it's been a while, hope you're okay <3

Hey :) I’m doing ok, I’ve been off Wattpad and making stories on Docs. It’s a nice change of pace and I don’t feel any pressure to put out more for others. I LOVED the critique from real people, but for now I’m just working on my own. Thank you for looking out for me and always being my biggest supporter <3 I hope all is well for you and your writing, I’m going to need to re-read your story again too! It’s so creative and beautifully written, you truly have a way with words :)

Wow it sure has been a while since I stopped using this thing... um, anyways, hey. I’m so sorry for leaving everybody high and dry, but, to be honest, after I changed The Silence She Speaks I received a lot of harsh words. 
          •••
          I spent an entire night having a girl privately message me about how infuriated she was with me changing the story. She called me rude names and said harsh things that I just didn’t want to hear. I guess I just couldn’t handle the unexpected backlash and left. But... I noticed that there were actually a lot of kind comments when I came back, so I have a better feeling about using Wattpad again :)

          Merry late Christmas!
          Or Happy Hanukkah or kwanzaa!

A bunch of people love your stories, next time someone says something mean the best way is to just agree with them and stop responding! Don't change your story bc something said so, it's amazing either way! ✨

It has been brought to my attention by a few readers that The Silence She Speaks is seen as somewhat disrespectful to Sam because I took his story and turned it into a bit of a “cliche Wattpad brothers story”. 
          •••
          First off, I would like to say that I had no intention of “gender-bending” Sam. I created Quinn from my reaction to what happened mixed with Sam’s personality, and the end product came out as a girl. I would also like to add that I came up with the idea for her to have brothers before I discovered Wattpad, so I didn’t mean to make it a cliche. I believe that having Quinn lose her child is important, as it symbolizes how Sam will never get to create a family of his own, so that will not be changed.
          •••
          However, I’ve decided that I will be changing the story a bit to insure that Sam’s memory isn’t being twisted into said cliche. As of tomorrow, I will be changing a few of the brothers into sisters. I might lose a few fans of the story, but I think it is the right decision overall to make sure I don’t do Sam wrong. I created this story to bring awareness to these types of situations so kids can get help before it’s too late, and to honor my classmate, so I don’t want to make it blend in with any other Wattpad story. Thank you for your time.

Don’t listen to them. TSSS is one of my favorite stories. I hope you don’t take it down just because of some readers who think it’s disrespectful . Keep up your amazing work.
