Have you ever dealt with depression? Then you'll totally understand this message... About a month ago I posted on my book G.A.M that I was in the middle of my exams...well...the good news is thank God my exams are over... The bad news...few days days into my exams I lost a close friend...I guess I died with her for a while...I was down...under...and everything else you feel when you don't understand a particular situation... For the first time in my life I desperately wanted to fix something and I couldn't do anything about it After she died things went back to normal...people laughed...people celebrated...there were birthdays and weddings and jokes...it was like the world moved on...and I couldn't do the same... So after my papers...I packed my bags and went home...no one really noticed what I was feeling back in school...its funny how a smiley face decieves people...but my mum knew and she let me mourn...which I was grateful for after trying to be strong for so long... Then she encouraged me to live again...not just for myself...but for everyone who loved me...for her...for my little sister...my elder brother...all of my other friends who loved me...and for God...and I added you guys to my list since I still owe all of you a complete book.. So I took her advice...and I began to find reasons to be happy...once in a while I still cry...but then...I can proudly say I'm moving on...I think my friend would have loved that...and I'd like to think God would have loved that too... I'm back in school now and as busy as God knows what...I might not post anything on G.A.M for a while... My humour might take a while to come back...but hopefully I'll be better soon...I can't promise that I'll be my old self again (although my mum promises that i'll be much stronger than before)...but I can promise this...i'll keep finding reasons to live... no matter how small they may be...and I hope you do the same too...

Hi, Mary, Thanks so much for your email. I am always glad to hear from a fan! I have actually finished about half of Running from the Storm, but I had only planned to put a few chapters on Wattpad to raise interest in the story. I will keep you posted about my progress and let you know when I'm ready to publish it, so you can read the whole story. Meanwhile, I have my first book, New Mercies, available for free promotion on Amazon through tomorrow, so if you like my style and the types of stories I tell, you might want to check it out: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00RCIB5CU Thanks so much for your kind words! Sincerely, Julia Allen, Ph.D.

....And after almost two months of silence...giving votes and no comments... my sense of humour finally returned. I am also glad to officially announce that after several days of ...should I publish it?...and should I not? I finally published a book on wattpad....moral lesson...the first step is truly the hardest. It's good to be back here expressing how I feel about all those lovely books I have stored up in my library...if you haven't gotten my comment yet then it means you haven't recently updated your book...or.... I just couldn't think of anything at the moment...not that my comments are the president's autograph or something but I really love encouraging the good work a lot of authors out there are doing...and making people laugh(sorry...it's just part of my nature). So to every author our there... sit back, relax and keep writing because just when it seems like no one cares about that book remember that somewhere in Africa in a country named NIGERIA a young lady is reading it and saying....WOW...YOU'VE DEFINITELY GOT TALENT. ...and if you haven't written a book yet...what are you waiting for...put your daydreams and imaginations into action for the world to see...it would surprise you how many people out there would love to read a story like the one running in your head right now!!!!! So till we meet again...most probably in the comment section... God bless you!!!

Due to the fact that my tests and exams have started I haven't had enough time to read all these wonderful updates, bring up wonderful comments and tell y'all how amazing your work is by hitting that lucky star at the bottom of your wonderful chapters I really wish i had the time But you see my exam timetable is not in favour of lazy ones(like us) who take a day off after each paper to chat,sleep,eat,read wattpad stories,dance,play,eat some more,sleep even more or fantasize about all those wattpad prince Charmin's Of course it is in favour of those with the photographic memory(which i obviously dont possess) Good lord hear my cry and make me an Einstein so i can just attend lectures,write exams and still get an A. I really cant believe people like that exist Anyway...my papers are crammed together in a way that only a miracle will get me past 3.5 G.P.A this semester...therefore i must sacrifice all my nonacademic activities(a.k.a things that will definitely not help in making me concentrate on a 200page textbook) I miss you guys(i mean the characters in the book)oh yes...and the authors too. Hopefully i will be done in the first week of may...which is approximately about 19days from today.wattpad has kinda become an addiction and i dont know how i will survive but i know that i'll try A big thank you to @junewamboi who took the time to type me short but sweet message And to @abasiamalawrence whose book i look eagerly forward to reading as soon as this nightmare is over I really need your prayers P.s TO ALL THOSE WHO DIDNT EVEN NOTICE MY ABSENCE ,JUST PRETEND LIKE YOU DID WHILE READING THIS MESSAGE. God bless you all
