hey everyone. just wanted to check in with y'all. let you know i'm alright, and i'm sorry i kinda abandoned my book. overwhelm got to me and i couldn't organize all the thoughts in my head.. so i just mostly either read or play video games, or get lost in reading crazy news headlines in my spare time. i have so many ideas that swarm my head but i know that it will be very time consuming getting them all wrote out. also as i been reading more i've kinda noticed some things on here that i didn't like so much.. such as seeing very young readers reading /commenting on books that they really shouldn't be. and even saw a 14 yr old posting a few years back that she was looking for a "Daddy". and then i realized that while i don't want any minors reading my book either due to the mature content my main char i had is a 16 yr old.. which would likely attract young readers.. at the time when i very first started writing it i just felt like i knew that i wanted my main char to have a certain innocence about her and have her be from a broken home at the same time. it wasn’t very creative of me really bc now i know ways of doing that that without her needing to be so young. while these things are realistic, i don’t want to glorify the type of male personality that will be displayed to young readers. so i decided to edit her age to be 19 instead. and i have been making some adjustments to the context of the story to support that change. you may have noticed that the book was updated but it's not for new chapters unfortunately. i've also kinda hit a road block with the story in regards to. how do i achieve what i wanted to achieve, and still keep the characters really lovable. and i also feel like some of it is more cringe than i like so i want to make changes in other certain places..

and then i have other ideas unrelated to this book that swarm my head that make me want to work on them instead. so i've been trying to work up the nerve to get more organized and do more while also being productive in my rl. it's difficult bc when i get overwhelmed i tend to shut down and hide, and i'm sorry for that.

i just wanted to write a quick message and thank all of you who have recently been reading and voting on my book and adding to your reading lists. i know  that it has been a long time since i’ve updated. i’ve been wanting to get back to writing it for some time but life just hasn’t slowed down. 
          
          this is part of what i sent to my sons therapist this morning and this is just description of life since thursday.. lol
          
          “been really hectic around here between hubby going out of town for work to coming home sick and then our basement drain backing up an not being able to let water drain for two days and now littlest one is sick with fever since yesterday.. it don’t end sometimes lol”
          
          i want to thank everyone for their patience!! ❤️

I hope to complete it soon!
