I was gone for a long time--like, for months. And I'm sure no one noticed, and that's okay. I'm back now, but I just wanted to say a few things.
The reason I left for so long was because I was afraid I had ruined my name--it felt like I had something negative hanging to it, and I didn't like that.
First of all, I removed Oak for several reasons, the main one being Connor's treatment towards Emily. Although the story was fiction, it was written during the period when harsh, rude bad boy stories were popular, and while Connor was never meant to be a stereotype of the bad boy, he had already started developing traits that would lead to an abusive relationship. Oak was never meant to be that. I might rewrite it again one day with a smaller age gap and healthier characters, but not right now.
Also, I put "You Need to Stop" in rough draft mode for a lot more reasons than Oak. It was pointed out to me that my behavior on it was immature, and I beyond agree. I don't know what was wrong with me. The "rant book" took a surprising turn and had gotten far more popular than I ever intended for it to be. I've used words in it that I would never use in real life and have more than likely said more than enough things I never meant. I wanted to apologize if it ever offended anyone because of it. I mostly regret the Fault In Our Stars post and the feminism post, which I later deleted. No one was EVER intended to take offense.
Thank you if you've read the whole thing. I'm sorry, again. I'm back on Wattpad now and I hope I can start over on a much better note :)
