Hello everybody! Remember me? I know it’s been a long time, and I’m really sorry for that. My mental health wasn’t great for a long time, but I’m doing a lot better now! Another follower left a lovely message earlier this week so I’ve been thinking a lot, and I’d like to continue writing my stories if anyone would be interested. Let me know!!
          	
          	Also, a very late thank you to everyone who replied to my last status! I don’t think I saw those comments until now unless I forgot to reply but your support means so much to me!!

hi Alyssa. You probably don't know me, I just want to wish you a good day and hope you're doing well. If you ever feel strong enough to come back to Wattpad and continue your story, I'd be really happy to read it. I think shining a light on diversity and disabilities is so important. Have a great day and sending you and your loved ones all my love <3

Aw thank you so much, I’m so touched! I didn’t realize people still remembered me and my story or anything since that was so long ago, but if people would still wanna read my stories, I’d be happy to give it a shot again! The problem is I couldn’t really find a plot with Exceptional or Different, like I love the characters so much but there was never really much of a story. But I’ll do a post on my profile and see if other people are interested, because I’d love to try writing again!

Hey y’all. I’m terribly sorry I haven’t been active on here. With mental health struggles and school stress, I haven’t had much motivation to update Exceptional or Different. I find I just end up deleting everything I write because I just feel like it’s trash. I will hopefully update soon, but I was wondering, do any of y’all care about my stories anymore? I feel like I kinda blew it with most of my followers and friends on here. I wish I could be as close to some of you as I was last year. I miss y’all.
          
          On another note: if you have Instagram, you should check out @/theautismpress (without the /, I just didn’t want to tag a random person). The Autism Press is an online print and literary journal and they are accepting many different kinds of works from autistic creators! For more information, check out this post: https://www.instagram.com/p/B1QicqFjTXc/?igshid=1k2pv2us4zc3m
          
          Also, if you have Instagram follow me @ruppelrat! You can also check out some of my art at @lyssar.writes but I don’t post as much in there anymore.
          
          If you’ve read through all of this, thanks for your time!

@alyssaruppel Hey, I hope you're getting the help you need to get through this. You clearly have a lot on your plate. For problems that big, it's good to have backup from loved ones and/or professionals.
            
            If you post more, I would be happy to read it. I enjoy your work.
            
            I just have one recommendation: Don't delete your work. Make a "discarded" folder and toss your work in there. That way, it's still there if you change your mind or want to revisit it someday. :)

@alyssaruppel I care very much about your writing! And I totally understand that you need your time. That's okay, and motivation isn't always easy to find, especially with MH struggles. Good luck, and know that your writing is brilliant.

@alyssaruppel We do care about your writing, if you think it's bad now, it can only get better.

I'm really sorry, but I will be putting Exceotional on hold! I've been thinking about this for awhile, and it's not fair to keep you guys hanging like this. I will be focusing on a new story I am planning, and it will be easier to follow along. One day, I will continue Exceptional... Just not right now. Thank you to all my loyal readers/friends!

I'm so really sorry guys! I've been struggling with writer's block and lack of motivation. I'm sorry. I feel really really bad for keeping you all waiting so long!
          
           I've been trying so hard to make my story perfect that I just stopped writing. But I realized; this is my first long story, it's going to be somewhat bad. But that's okay. I'm going to keep trying so I can improve on future stories. Give me a few weeks, and I'll have a chapter out!

I'm terribly sorry I haven't updated in so long! I'm working on it, just very slowly

@VictoriaMRose It's okay. Don't worry about it, just take your time!
