Okay, that last attempt at returning (over four months ago!! what!!) was a total fail, but I am FINALLY in a better headspace - shoutout to my doctor (who is also my boss). After not writing for eight months, I booked myself a couple of days away and today I wrote almost 5,000 words of a new story that I've been feverishly plotting out for the last week. It feels SO good to be excited about writing and characters again, and I am truly sorry for dropping off the grid but I hope you'll let me crawl back to Wattpad! It will be a while before you see this story because I am going to write it fully before I start posting it (to avoid a repeat of Begin Again ... which I will finish someday!) but I can assure you that if you like what I've written so far, you should enjoy this - a good old dual POV sapphic romance with a Taylor Swift song as a title and a fictional beachy setting. I'd love to have it ready for November, but there is no point me making any promises so let's just hope this mojo is back for good!

@ellecarrigan Thank you! Although I have read most of the good stories by now. So I am mainly reading new stories now!
          	  
          	  Oh, and I'm writing a story myself. Ten chapters so far! Hopefully I'll manage to finish it. Don't tell anyone. ;-)

Just finished cruel summer and absolutely loved it!! (And the Taylor Swift reference;)), but was wondering if you’re still thinking about writing a book about Issy?:)

sambaa04

@ellecarrigan totally understand!! Take your time and thanks for the response :)

@sambaa04 hi! Yes I absolutely still have Issy's book planned, I've just been in a total creative burnout for the last few months, but I do still want to write her story;

Hello!
          
          So, I totally burned out in December and didn't realise how mentally drained I was but it's been more than 3 months and I think I'm finally getting my writing mojo back! I'm determined to make it to the next round of Open Novella Contest, which means writing another few thousand words in the next couple of days, and I'd love to get back into writing for Camp NaNoWriMo in April! I've been suddenly inspired the last couple of days so fingers crossed, my creative mojo is returning ... here's hoping. Sorry for going off the grid - I've had no energy for writing or Wattpad or Instagram at all, but I think I'm ready to come back if you'll have me!
