So... at some point since I  last updated "Everything I Never Wanted" (back in October 2020, I know it's been awhile, but I've been busy!). Anyway, since I last updated it, it was somehow removed by Wattpad. I have no idea why and when I reached out I was just sent a list or possible reasons why a story was removed (not an explanation as to where mine had gone). None of the reasons made any sense to me. I just posted the first chapter again. I'm a bit peeved because it had a lot of views, votes and comments on it, but whatever... nothing I can do about it now. At least I have everything saved and posted elsewhere, so I can post it all again.

I’m so glad you are posting this again! This was the first story I read on wattpad years ago and was so sad to see that it was removed (I never finished it because I hadn’t been on wattpad again till recently)

@ZoeyS21 When I was first notified of it being gone, I  thought I had put it in my drafts too and just forgot about it since I did do that for a few of my other stories, but  I looked and it wasn't there. So I figured Wattpad removed it, but I just don't know why.  It would have been nice for a warning before it was taken down though. I may have been able to fix the issue with it.

I'm sorry to hear it was hijacked. That's so rude.  Did you take down everything I never wanted? I am looking for it and don't find it

sarabeth120

@AprilJamaleddine I am not sure what you are talking about in regards to something being hijacked. However, I did look and "Everything I Never Wanted" is gone, but I didn't remove it. I'm currently trying to figure out what happened to it. In the mean time, you can find it on Fictionpress under the same username.

Someone on here has plagiarized "Blood Pet". I am so pissed I can't even see straight right now. They just changed the names and made it a fanfiction. They even had the nerve to enter it into the Wattys for this year!!!

Oh my gosh, I am so sorry! Blood Pet will always be one of my favorite vampire stories. I hope this gets taken down asap.

@sarabeth120 that's horrible some people steal other's work! It's so unfair and I hope Wattpad does something about this. Who knows if her other "books" are stolen as well. You're an amazing author and don't deserve to be taken advantage of like this.

Hey everyone!
          
          So, I've gotten a few messages about when or if I'll be updating anything any time soon, so I thought I would send a notification out to everyone instead of sending out the same information multiple times. 
          
          For any of your who don't know, I'm a teacher which pretty much means from August until May I have no life outside of work even on the weekends. To give you an idea, here's a typical weekly schedule for me:
          
          Monday through Friday
          4:30 AM: Wake up and work out, shower, get read for work, eat breakfast,etc
          7:00 AM- 7:15 AM: leave for work
          7:30 AM-5:30 PM/6:30 PM): at school (the myth that teachers leave right when the kids do, is just that... a myth)
          7:00 PM: get home
          7:00 PM-10:00 PM: eat dinner, unwind from the day, grade papers
          10:00 PM: bed
          
          My boyfriend and I spend the whole day out on Saturday... mostly running errands that I couldn't run during the week. I spend every other Sunday eating lunch with my parents (they live about an hour away) and then coming home and doing household chores (washing dishes, washing clothes, cooking if I need to), I also sometimes have to grade papers. The other Sunday, I do the latter without seeing my parents. 
          
          During school breaks, I really just want to be lazy and lay around and read or binge something on Netflix. Don't get my wrong, I love teaching, but it's just super tiring for me. I also love writing, but I find myself having very limited energy to sit down and write compared to a few years ago.
          
          I'm really sorry that my updating has slowed down a lot and I have no idea when I will pick it back up, but I hope this post at least explains why I take so long to update... I honestly don't have time during most of the school year and I don't feel like doing it when I I'm on break due to just wanting to be lazy and take a break.
          
          I hope this changes soon, but as of right now... it doesn't look good. Especially since I'm teaching two subjects this year which means twice as much work, but we'll see.

@DarknessAndDeath99 Thank you. And, I tried to watch "You", but his narration annoyed me too much and I never made it past the first episode.

@sarabeth120  That is alright. We understand that life can get in the wait. We can wait. Take care of yourself. You mention you watch Netflix; Have you watch the show 'You'?

Please post more chapters of Everything I never wanted. So hooked and it is such a cliffhanger. Live how you added Tristan and Jessica in again btw, awesome job. Casey looks like she may turn into a more tame version of Jessica.

sarabeth120

@GillianBradfield I just made an announcement in regards to my late updates. Casey actually is a tamer version of Jessica. That was completely intentional. :)

Thought I would share with you all the song that really got my creativity flowing... not really sure how since it doesn't really go with any of my stories though. Regardless, I'm currently addicting to listening to it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1tSoHvQkZ-E

DarknessAndDeath99

@sarabeth120 I've only read Everything I never wanted, and I love that story. it help me through my depression. Reading and watching tv were the only escape from my abusive house hold. your story and as well as three fanfiction really help me alot. You guys took me away from my life and took me into a much happy world. so Thank you for that, I highly doubt I would've been alive if I hadn't read them stories.  P.S literally I was listen to the song when I saw you message.

@DarknessAndDeath99 Lol.. .that's what I did all day yesterday... got me through writing the next chapter of "When It All Falls Apart" which was giving me fits. Now, listening to it while writing the next chapter of "Everything I Never Wanted" and hoping for similar results. :)

@sarabeth120 I'm I love that Song now. I'm currently listening to it on repeat.

So, the writing bug bit me this afternoon and I managed to write a whole chapter! Yay! I know it's not for "Everything I Never Wanted", but I am hoping that the writing bug bites me again and I can at least get one chapter out for that story before I go back to work on January 2nd! :)

That’s great! I love your writing.
