I am proud to say that my #tryingnottobeonhold mantra is working so far because dear readers: chapter 22 is up!
          	
          	Honestly, it sort of feels good to be at this point of my writing journey. When I started on Wattpad, I was constantly worried about not being good enough to be read. Some days I would have 0 reads and I would feel ten feet below. 
          	
          	Now it's more like, to hell with it, just post the damn thing and get on with it. It doesn't make my work more popular within the community but it does make me feel better in my life :)

So... a writing block turned into me being completely MIA for a couple of years (see profile description for explanation). I kind of feel like I don't know who's who anymore so I'll just get this message out for the readers who have been waiting for an update on my story "On the Falling": chapter 21 is published! Hope you enjoy it and if you do, don't forget to vote or comment :) 
          
          Thanks for having my back,

@LittleMinx94 Hi Alex, it's so good to read from you! I hope you've been doing well all this time (still in Florida?). I haven't had the time to take a look at the new things like the forums, etc. (feels like a totally different world now) but I do hope that the girls are still around (jess, jade, june, veronica, bythec to name a few) and doing great as well :) Hope to read you soon and finish the book of yours I was reading until I completely fell off the face of the earth XD.

I’ve rewritten this post a hundred times and I still don’t know how I should start. 
          
          Truth is, I really thought I was back on track when I last published but I haven’t been able to write another word ever since. Not just for On the Falling but also in my personal life. I am still a wreck.
          
          Every day I stare at my pen or my keyboard and nothing comes out. I think about Aaron and Jane and how they must feel like I had given up on them. I think about my wattpad friends and wonder if they are still doing well wherever they are.
          
          So I’ve decided to officially put On the Falling on hold. I haven’t decided yet if I should unpublish it or not so I’ll leave it there for now. 
          
          You know, I often think about this quote that I love: « There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed » (Hemingway). That’s how I used to view writing but now that I can’t write, does it mean that I have stopped bleeding too? I don’t know but I want to believe that I will find another way to get back to you.
          
          I am so sorry if you feel that I am letting you guys down but please believe that I am truly thankful for your support. I just saw the numbers and wow, I feel so honored. I wish words could just flow out of me and reach you.
          
          With much love and see you again (I hope),
          
          Willow

@WillowNRoses  Oh dollface :( I'm sorry to hear that you are having a block.  It feels awful. I love your writing and understand what you are going through.  Take your time. We will wait :) I hope you are doing well and I'm very thankful to know you and all your support you have given me. I hope I can do the same for you.

@WillowNRoses Don't force yourself to write. Wait until it's as natural as breathing. :>

Hi guys! 
          
          I thought I was never going to say this again but... I'm back! I would like to apologize for being absent all this time. Things happened in real life and I've been having a hard time doing anything, including writing or reading. 
          
          Anyway, back to the good news, chapter 20 is finally up! Only 20 more chapters to go before the grand ending :) 
          
          Hope it doesn't disappoint!
          
          Much love, 
          
          Willow
