Hello everyone, 
          
          I have decided to discontinue Hold Me Down. 
          
          This decision was a hard one to come to, because since starting this story 4 years ago, I have always been on and off wattpad. I scrolled through all my posts last night, up until before I even published Hold Me Down on here. I realized that for years I have been slacking with this story, and I apologize. I really wanted to make this happen for all the readers that showed love to Hold Me Down, then and even now. I appreciate you all so much. I even wanted to make this happen for the characters of Hold Me Down, because for some odd reason, I feel like I owe it to them. Back in October, I came on here with the intentions of finally finishing Hold Me Down, but it is now January 2018 and no progress has been made. This is all on me, no one else. My next semester starts in about one week and if I couldn’t get to work on this story during the winter break, I don’t think I will when semester starts. It has been a long 4 years with this story, and it is one I hold close to my heart. It hurts me to know that I couldn’t bring myself to finish it. But why? I lost the motivation to continue writing and that is the only explanation I have for you all. I will be working on going through Hold Me Down, and publishing a “story talk” to answer any questions about what was to suppose to happen next, characters, events within the story, the ending, etc. As I have mentioned before, I do have a notebook with all my story notes, so if I can’t publish any more chapters I can at least promise to give you all answers. This does not mean I will be putting down the pen for good. I do still, very much enjoy writing. I have not written any fiction in a very long time, but I have been working on getting back into it. Thank you everyone, you have all been so good to me and my story.

Okay so turns out... I'm confused with my own notes... the notes I wrote myself! I definitely have to re read 'Hold me Down" before I can get to writing. While I do that, I must also edit because I know theres a lot of editing that needs to be done! However, this won't happen tomorrow or within this week. I have a ton of assignments (I should be doing them now instead of typing this) that I need to put first. If anyone has been waiting for "Hold me Down", please stick with me!! I promise to get this done!!! (haha, how many times have I said this within the last four years?) I mean it! xoxo Goodnight everyone.

You guys.... I just found the notebook I wrote everything for "Hold me Down" in... so tempted to start writing asap!

Life update: I'm now in my first year of college! I started "Hold me Down" probably when I was in middle school... or maybe when I just started high school. A lot has changed but it seems like I can never let go of wattpad.

Woah... I havent logged into Wattpad in over a year & people are still adding "Hold me Down" to their reading lists! I'm honestly shocked!! I really would like to finish "Hold me Down". I started that story about four years ago and I honestly do think about it a lot. I know I have to re read it and i'll probably cringe at the writing I thought was good four years ago, haha. I also have to find the notebook I wrote all my ideas inside of. Has anyone been waiting on a comeback?

I wish I was more active on here 

Remember in the first or second chapter when Camielle lost her favorite scarf because the wind took it away? I was originally going to have Andre come out of no where and retrieve it for her. Lolololl so corny I know. Also, I dont know if readers can tell but Camielle has a different attitude about herself in the first or second (cant remember which) chapter when the guy at her church tried to talk to her. Gradually, I turned her into a more humble and sweet character. 

Rashawn (the little boy at the daycare that Camielle loves so much) was always a solid character lmao 

Also, originally I wrote Vanessa (Camielle's bestfriend for those who need a refresher) as a recovering drug addict. Surprising, I know. 

I cant sleep and I have a chemistry regents to take in 8 hours but I have to be up in  5 hours buttttttt I've been thinking about HOLD ME DOWN. Theres so many things I want to tell you guys! Sometimes I just wanna blurt out the whole plot line! One thing I will say however is, Nyla, Naomi and Bianca werent characters thought of in the original story outline I wrote. Crazy because Nyla and Naomi play significant parts in Dre's life. They sort of were just created as the story went on. Yes, the idea was that Andre had problems with his family, somehow I just added a baby mother and child into it. Bianca was thought of randomly too but she doesnt play as a significant role in the story. Vanessa and Katrina are more significant female characters. Speaking of those two, Katrina wasnt a original character in the story outline either. She was thought of randomly and when I did think of her character I only thought she would appear in 1-2 chapters but turns out I made her into Andre's sister from another mister.
