Okay, let's try this again, shall we?
          I am trying to start slowly edging my way back - my final assessments are done and now we're just waiting on the results. However, there is one big change that is going to be happening:
          I will still be stepping back from the AAD fanfics for the foreseeable future.
          Instead, I'm going to start bringing over some of my other fics that I've published elsewhere for you to look over if you so desire. I've got a few up my sleeve that I really want to bring over from both FF.Net and AO3, but there'll still be NO NEW AAD FICS from me until further notice - hopefully that further notice won't be too far away, but who knows.
          I just want to say I love and appreciate all your wonderful comments and your undying support - some of which I only discovered today (damn Wattpad not sending me notifications......grrr), and I know that whatever I post, I have some amazingly loyal peeps out there willing to read it.
          Love,
          Erin.

@narnian_starkid First...I have to tell you how proud I am of you and your accomplishments as you become a paramedic. Next, I want you to know, Erin that I totally support and understand what you’re doing by stepping back. I know it wasn’t a decision made lightly and I’m so glad you doing what’s  best for you. I do hope that you make your presence known. Gonna miss ya something terrible, girly. 
          I’ll admit it...I’m going to miss your updates do much. This drought has been very difficult for many writers, including myself. I’m struggling to find inspiration but I know it’s there just waiting for me to find it.
          I do hope you drop in every once in a while. Also hope you don’t mind me seeking  your advice or asking questions...still wasn’t to submit our fav geordies to some angsty, painful moments. 
          Love you dearly and so very proud of you and feel totally blessed to call you my friend. 
          ❤️❤️

@narnian_starkid I totally support whatever you decide to do and I’m thankful for what you have put out. You’re an incredible writer and once the inspiration returns, and I have no doubt it will, you’ll produce more wonderfully creative works for us readers to enjoy. 
          I’m in agreement with you...it’s been very difficult to continue with my works but  going to keep plugging away at it. The inspiration is there somewhere...I just need to dig it back up. 
          So proud of you and all that you’re accomplishing as a paramedic. Hope you don’t mind if I hit you up for suggestions and medical advice. I’m still wanting to subject our dear favorite Geordies to some angst and a wee bit of pain. 
          Will miss you and love you very much. Don’t be a stranger. 
          ❤️❤️Kathryn 

Statement from author regarding OBTS:
          My dearest readers,
          After much careful consideration and some very deep thinking, I have made the decision to unpublish Once Broken Twice Strong from my page. This wasn’t a decision I made without a lot of thinking beforehand, and was mainly because I had lost both where I wanted to go and explore with that fic, and also a lack of motivation for writing in general. I will blame the ever-blameable uni for this (being on 6 weeks of clinical placement and having final degree assessments coming up really kills any muse I might have had left) but also some personal things going on in my head which have made me question my place in this fandom both as a fan and as a writer. 
          I understand that there were so many people enjoying that story and wanted to see it continue, however I felt that if I had tried to sit down and force something out then it wouldn’t have been up to the standard you’ve all come to expect from my writing. For that, I am sorry.
          As to whether it will return? Maybe. Someday. If I can do some rewrites or if my muse decides to cooperate with me at some point, then I don’t see why not. But until then, I’m afraid it’s staying buried in my drafts folder.
          This could also be seen as my announcement of taking a step back from writing altogether. Maybe it’s the drought, I don’t know, but I have lost so many of the ideas and much of the inspiration I first had when I fell into this fandom almost 1 year ago. I will still be around, don’t worry, but you probably won’t see any new stuff from me for some time.
          Love you all, always.
          Erin.

Okay folks, I will be basically offline until July 9th, cause I'll be overseas on a special placement trip. Once Broken Twice Strong is therefore on hold for that time.
          Love lots,
          N_S

We're back from placement! And the next few weeks are going to be a right doozy.......job applications for different ambulance services, assignments, practical assessments..........and I may or may not have some more fics in store, including a long-anticipated sequel.... #FLW2
