Hi everyone!
          
          I can't believe it's been so long since I last spoke to you all.  Ever since I was little, being a writer is all that I wanted to do. And you guys were the first people to make me feel like I could actually do it. To be able to have so many people see themselves and connect with my work was incredible, and it still is.
          
          I've been away from a while, grown up a little and been through some things that made writing difficult for a while, but I'm getting back into it because it's what I love to do. 
          
          I'm working on another novel, but in the meantime, I've decided to post a couple of personal essays on Substack to document me getting both myself and my creative process back. It's such a great platform, and reading others' work on there has been a big part of my moving forward with myself.
          
          Here's a little link so you guys can see a snippet of what I've been up to, and I hope to be back on here writing fiction very soon.

We love you!! I hope you make an update or anything soon :)) 

missing you and your writing so so much! i hope you’re doing well, annalisa <3 

I was looking through my archived stories I used to love, and I found stars don't twinkle has been deleted sadly. Wanted to let you know that despire it being deleted I absolutely loved it and was also kinda wondering why it was deleted (if you remember the story that is xD)

Happy New Year! ♡ hope you’re well~

Hey. I came here to say that your book has made such a big impact on my life in a good way. I’ve learnt about suicide much more than I ever have in my life skills class. Seeing some sort of point of view from someone who is actually struggling really opened my eyes. The way you wrote this book was so beautiful that I could feel every single emotion. It took me a lot of time to finish the last two chapters because I couldn’t stop crying in the middle of the night in the rain. I’ve learnt a lot as I continue to learn more and every time I think about this book I get more emotional than usual. I think the fact that this book has made me cry and no other books have really says something, it’s a really special book that I’ll cherish forever. It made me realise that there’s always other ways of thinking about the world no matter how doomed I think we are. I’ll definitely continue to cry when I remember this book because honestly it made me feel something more that I didn’t know I needed to feel. 
          
          I hope you are well and I hope that wherever you are, you know that we are supporting you through everything and anything 
          

hiii. just checking in to see if you're doing okay <3

Hey not to sound weird or anything but like I’d like to know more about you if you don’t mind me asking?

Hey I loved your book Suicide helpline. 
          In the end it said that there is a rewritten version. But I cannot find it on your profile. Did you remove it? :(
