Hey guys...
          	
          	So I've been gone for about a month and honestly....nothing has changed. Like...I just don't feel the same joy from Wattpad anymore. I think the lack of PMs has allowed me to feel very distant from people I used to chat to on a regular basis and with so many of my friends moving to other platforms or quitting entirely, it's hard to stay motivated. So for now...I'm out too.
          	
          	I'm most likely not quitting forever, but at the time I'm at in my life, I don't really feel motivated to write my own stories. I'm really enjoying reading and learning more about writing as a craft and unfortunately, any motivation I had to write has gone. I feel like even after 2 and 1/2 years on this platform, I haven't really achieved anything worth the time I've put into this. I want to have something I'm proud of and something I can say was worth the time I spent on it, and right now, Wattpad isn't bringing me that.
          	
          	I'm not leaving forever. I will check back in here every now and then to tell you guys about my life, and I won't be deleting any stories or anything, but I won't be active on here every day or every week like I used to be.
          	
          	Thank you so much for every single one of you who has read a single word of my books. To those of you who have been here since the early days, I appreciate you and I hope you understand why I'm doing this. 
          	
          	You are and will always important to me, but for now, this is Craftychicken signing out. <3

          Yep. Traitor in the Castle finally has a good cover! And it looks amazing. Thanks to the amazing @MuniWilliams for making it for me, as usual she is amazing!

Hey guys!
          
          So...it's been a month since I updated you guys and honestly, I think I'm losing my motivation to write. I'm just struggling to force myself to sit down and write since depression is playing its wonderful game again and every time I try and write, a small part of my brain tells me 'you could be doing something more productive' and I end up giving in. 
          
          I do have a few chapters of Traitor in the castle written but I'm just scared to post them since they're probably awful and if I'm going to post these chapters I want to be able to keep up with a semi regular posting schedule and currently, my depression isn't allowing me to do that.
          
          So, I will be returning to Wattpad soon, but for now, Chicken out. I'm taking a break until I find my writing bug again. I'll still be around and checking in now and then. I'll try to post weekly updates if I can, but that all depends on again, my depression.
          
          As always I appreciate every single one of you. Thank you as always for your support and as always, happy reading x
