Hello everyone!
          	
          	For those who have been following me for a while you know I have been struggling with motivation lately. Last year was pretty much a rollercoaster of shifting motivation but now I have hit rock bottom. Every time I try to sit down and write something I just end up staring straight into a wall. It’s not even lack of ideas, just a complete lack of interest.
          	
          	What happened with my Jason DiLaurentis story was honestly just the tip of the iceberg. I really tried to get back into it afterwards, and even considered moving all my stories to AO3, but the mere thought of it only ruined my interest in writing even more. And when I realised that the person who copied my work (whose account got shut down) just started a new account and started publishing it again (only changing a few names and a dog breed) I realised that I needed distance.
          	
          	Writing used to be comforting for me, but lately it has only brought me stress. Therefore, I will be taking an (indefinite) break from Wattpad. Know that this is not an easy decision for me. I hate the idea of leaving stories unfinished but I just do not have it in me to finish them.
          	
          	Maybe I will come back one day, maybe not. Know that all your love and support during all these years have been truly appreciated and I apologise to everyone that I have disappointed.
          	
          	Love,
          	Isa

Hello, my name is Anastasia!
          
          I am a big fan of your work «ICE AND FIRE». It is simply amazing! I have reread it many times, and each time I experience a flood of indescribable emotions, just like the first time!
          
          I am an amateur translator and would like to ask your permission to translate your work into Russian. I would very much like to translate and publish the work on the Russian fan fiction website «Fikbook». I am sure it will be of interest to many Russian-speaking readers. I will definitely credit you as the author and add a link to your original work. All copyrights will remain yours; I just want as many people as possible who do not know your language to become familiar with your work.
          
          I would be grateful for your response!
          
          Thank you for your time!

hi @isa-tnj , I have loved your writing for years now. I had never watched star wars but read the fanfic only because it was from you. I went through a similar low time as well for a really long period, reading a fanfic update on Friday used to be my only motivation to keep going. I'm sorry writing doesn't bring you the joy it used to, you often told that in your author notes, and overall the writing felt a bit different as well (especially because I've been reading for years). But know that this is not a setback, you sometimes just grow out of the things you love. If the time is right and the inspiration strikes, you can always come back to writing. Not necessarily Wattpad haha. But I'd love to read your work again. Apart from this, I hope you don't force yourself into anything. I know it's difficult but a positive thing a day (even if it's repetitive) can help. I hope you take care of yourself, and feel better soon. I hope you feel passionate about something again and have fun doing so. Take care <3

Hi, I was going through TikTok and I saw a post and it was about fanfic and looking at the posts captions they are the same as your Anastasia fanfic it only translated to other language this is their TikTok account (nayms019)

I'm sorry, I accidentally deleted my other message. What I mean is that I would never copy someone else's story, especially without their permission, because it's something I wouldn't want done to me either.

Hey @isa-tnj, how are you 
          I wanted to say that I understand the stress and exhaustion and the lack of motivation, it's simiar for me in school and I'm still learning to discipline and taking better care of myself. Anyway I wanted you to know that I sent you an email earlier today and hopefully it will help.

Hey,
            
            I saw your email and I really appreciate your offer to help me. But unfortunately the way I am feeling right now I just don’t have the energy to write anything at all. You are very kind for offering me, but I just can’t write anything right now. Sorry.

Hey,
          
          For anyone wondering why I have not posted my Jason DiLaurentis story on AO3 yet it is because I honestly have zero motivation to do anything right now. 
          
          Also, the author who copied my work (whose account got deleted) has created a new account (different username, same name of her Jason story) where she basically changes some details (Luca is Portuguese, Shasta the Husky is Pongo the Dalmatian) but the dialogue is basically the same as my old story — and truth be told that together with my current low period is not making it easy… 
          
          This whole Jason-story drama is not the only reason, but it has contributed to me not having any willpower or energy to write anything anymore. Right now I do not know what to do, but this is the reason why my writing is a bit off right now…

@isa-tnj Take your time. Plus I preferred your version. It was better written.

@isa-tnj Hi! I'm an avid reader of your writing and I immensely admire your work. I'm so sorry about this whole situation and your exhaustion. I wish you a speedy recovery and hope you can live well and in peace. I speak for myself when I say that I fully support your decision to take some time off. If you wish to return to writing, I will be one of the first to celebrate, but if you decide to step away, I will support you just the same, because above all, you must prioritize yourself. I know I'm not a close friend, but through your work I've seen all your growth and I sincerely want you to be very happy. (I used Google Translate).
