Terry — T

I am taking a break—a long break to be specific.
          This year hasn't been gentle on me. Not at all. I've been struggling with my mental health and there's just too much on my plate to handle. I am still trying to patch up my broken heart while also remaining active and focused on uni. 
          I haven't touched any of my projects in months. Whenever I try to sit down and write, I feel exhausted within minutes.
          Therefore, I've decided to leave Wattpad for a while. I promise, I'll return once I am feeling better and more creative.
          
          Until then,
          Terry xoxo

Setting the stakes. I am still committed to this story, and I thought that I may spoil you all with the first chapter. (There's no regular upload schedule yet)
          I hope you enjoy!

I figured I might share a few of my struggles on here. I went through one tough break up earlier this year in June, and just lost the truly wonderful person I was dating since mid-July today. I've been a crying mess for a few hours now and let me tell you—it sucks. Big time. But I also figured that it might be the perfect time to leave some words of encouragement on here. I know my platform is small, but I just wanted to let you all know that if you're struggling out there—you're not alone. You're seen. You're valid.
          And I know it may not always look that way or even feel like it, but there are better times coming. There is a silver lining somewhere at the end of it all, no matter how small it may be. 
          I just wanted to let you all know that I feel with you—I truly do. All of us do, I am certain. 
          I feel like a hypocrite writing this but keep on fighting, keep on shining, and keep on being yourself in all facets and ways. I believe in you. Every single one of you.
          
          Consider this a somehow weirdly placed form of my personal healing. I just needed to say something if I haven't been writing lately.
          
          Bang on,
          I love you all.
          
          Much love
          Terry xoxo

I just came to drop the working title of my current project that I ACTUALLY committed to finishing. The doc is literally called 'CBTY2 ;)'. Make of that what you will.
          
          Now, I will vanish into thin air again.

Hello lovely people,
          it's been a while since I was last active on this platform and I am so sorry! 
          I've been in a major writing slump for a while now and it genuinely feels like I will never get out of it. Quite frankly, this is scary to me because writing has always been an important part of my life but lately it's been feeling like a burden.
          As my last few messages on here may have already implied, I am working on so many stories right now, but they all feel terrible, and if a story doesn't make ME feel anything while writing, I can't put enough energy into it to make others feel something when reading.
          
          This is also the reason why I've been contemplating taking 'Impact' offline. 
          
          If you've been here for a while already, you may know that I HATE publishing unfinished stories because it puts extra pressure on me to keep going and finish it.
          In all honesty though, I haven't felt passionate about 'Impact' in a while and I can feel it reflect in my writing too.
          However, publishing only half-hearted stories with weak plots and wobbly characters isn't who I am as a writer.
          
          To all my 'Impact' readers: What do you think about me taking down the book?
          Would you prefer me to leave it up for you to read?
          
          Nevertheless, I will take some time for myself to find my tone for writing, regain my passion and everything that made my work (and by work I mean CBTY and everything I write behind the scenes) so great, and hopefully figure out where to go from here.
          I may be inactive publishing, but I will be reading every single one of your lovely comments. 
          You all still truly mean the world to me!
          
          Thank you! xoxo
          
          Much love,
          Terry / T
