Thanks for the reply. It’s nice hearing from you again. I totally understand about everything you’ve said. Glad you are still very much alive!  Take care. 

(2/2) And mine did. I always swore I would finish this story but the truth is that there’s so much that I wish I could re-do with this book. Different approaches, different ideas, things I would love to omit/change so that the story would make more sense in my head and the direction I was trying to take. Most of the story came from my imagination rather than experience, bc I was super young when I began SIAS, and I feel like my early writing was immature even though the graphic scenes of sex are contrary to that but you get my point lol. In simple terms, if I could just re-do it all over again, write it the way I wish I would’ve, I would. But I know so many people wouldn’t agree with me and say there’s nothing wrong with it, but writers are their own worst critic. As for what the ending could have been (or could be) I am unsure of it. I always had an idea, but it was never concrete. Which points back to all the things I wish I could change to the story, the little details. I’m sorry for letting you all down, it’s just so hard to remain interested in something that isn’t really part of your world anymore. Maybe one day I’ll finish the chapter (108?) that’s been sitting in my notes app for two years now, just so y’all can have another chapter to indulge on, but I won’t make any promises. 

(1/2)Hi there!!! I am very much still alive. I am so so sorry that I disappeared off the face of the earth. I genuinely didn’t know people loved this story that much even with it being almost 10 years old. While I don’t really actively use this app anymore the way I did during my late teens  and very early 20’s, I still come back from time to time to check on my page and see how much things have changed since this app hit its peak with popularity. I am very sad myself that I was unable to finish SIAS bc I spent years of dedication writing out this story, and I was always very appreciative for everybody and anybody who even read a chapter. I am now 27 years old, and I’ll be 28 in May 2024. My life now is so different compared to when I began writing this story at 18. I was a die hard 1D fan and even bigger fan of Liam. But now as an adult with responsibilities, a boyfriend, work, bills, car note, and life in general; your interests change.

Just did luv 

@monica4l  So good you're back! Really hope you'll be able to finish it one day, it's a fantastic read

Thank you!!

Well, whatever you choose to do would be great. Would love you to come back to this!  I can’t imagine having writer’s block for such a long time. I can understand you wanting to make it more up to date as it’s been years since it’s started, but it’s not necessary. But whatever you decide to do, I’m there for it and patiently waiting  for whenever you are able to do it. Rewrite some of it, or just give it a great wrap up and ending. Always loved this story how it was, but it’s your story to tell, so it’s your decision whether to make changes or just finish it off. Hope to at least have an ending some day and that you’ll get past the writer’s block and be able to change  it and/or finish it. It was so close to the end. I was always hoping for a happy ending with a surprise wedding and kids!! 

@blwl731 Thank you baby! That’s so sweetof you. I appreciate your words a lot. I’m so happy to know this story still has people waiting to know what’s going to happen. Not even kidding I’ve been writing the chapter after the last one I posted for nearly two years. When I say writer’s block I mean it. Sometimes I feel like switching the story slightly up just to make it more up to date. At least so it’s a little more relevant 

Thanks so much for the reply. I really do appreciate it!  I’m sad that as of now you’re not writing on this any more, but I respect your decision, so please DO NOT feel like a failure. Things in life change, especially when you’re growing up, and it is absolutely your prerogative to do what YOU want!  I hope some day you will come back to it to wrap it all up, and if so I’ll be here waiting!!  But for now, you do what you need to do for yourself. All the best to you. Thanks for replying!!

Hi love, I’m sorry I’m barely responding to this. I genuinely wish I had an excuse as to why I’m rarely on here but I don’t. I started SIAS when I was only 18 years old and as of today I’m 24. I hate that I lost the passion to write like I used to my senior year of high school but man life as an adult is truly an eye opener. I miss everyone, I remember every reader too. I feel like a failure for not being able to finish what I started, I hope you can all forgive me for never finishing the story. I don’t know that anyone would care, but I may end up randomly continuing this story one day. Idk when that day will be, but I do owe it to everyone and especially to myself.
