Hi, my dears! (TRIGGER WARNING! Discussions of death and grief to follow, be aware).
I have news, good and bad, but I wanted to let you all know, because you have supported me for a long time and I care about you guys.
I have been away for some time, first because I was writing a book (which I finished and am very proud of), then because I was trying to get that book traditionally published (which less than a month into I decided wasn't for me) and finally, because in the middle of all of it, I lost my dad.
I have been devastated, it's been the worst time of my life, period. It has also made me reflect a lot. That book I told you about, the only reason I wanted to traditionally publish it was to "impress" my dad. I wanted his recognition, his praise, I wanted him to be proud of me... but now he isn't here anymore, and he never even read the book.
As a result, I've decided I might self-publish my books. I want to draw and create my own covers, I want to write whatever I want, with no limits or gatekeepers, like I did here, because that's how I love to write. I know there are many people out there, like you, hungry for my stories, people who will appreciate them and support me, like you all did. And if you can, I want you to keep supporting me when I publish those books (that I will make sure to have in libraries and even free sometimes for those of you who can't pay for them. I got you!)
Now, I took down Lord Seventh's New Advisor from Wattpad and AO3, the only 2 sites where I shared it, because I plan on rewriting it into a world of my own, because Naruto is Kishimoto-sensei's story and I will never stop loving it, but it's not mine to publish. I'm also full of stories that are SOLELY mine and can't wait to share with the world. But this fanfic, Naruto's characterization, the love story, Kazuki, Wolf, Sweet and Boy are 100% mine and mine alone. Naruto is not really how I write him, he's a pg-13 character I adore but...
