Hi,
          So,
          I've been gone for a long time. I think I just lost the drive to write a story on here and from there it went downhill. I don't have anything I'm working on right now, and for that I'm sorry; I've failed not only myself but whoever chose to read my stories as well. Even though this is the case, I think that my narrative skills have improved whilst I attempted to write stories here, and that means something to me. 
          
          I don't see myself writing anything on here anytime soon, as my education is quite demanding, and I believe that I should focus on further cementing my writing, my art; everything. On the account that I don't write anything here again, (I mean, I might, the future is full of possibility after all) thank you to whoever took their time to read my choppy, unfinished stories; it makes me think that I may have an audience if I do choose to pursue this love for language I have, later on in life, and for that confidence boost, I am grateful to you. 
          
          As I have little more to say, I hope that I will return here and I wish you all the best from now till then. 
          
          Thanks,
          Shan <3

Hey what's up it's been a while (yes, I did just quote Zayn)
          
          I'm sorry for being inactive in my writing for a few months- I've been trying to pull together the threads of the story I want to write. In order to prevent writers block, I'm doing my best to plan out each chapter, so that's taking a while. On top of that, before I post it, I really want to pre write a few chapters, just so updates could be regular. (For a while at least, in case I slack off.)
          
          It's really hard for me as well, because I have these words waiting to spill out, but at the same time, I'm afraid of rushing things in case I end up with another failed attempt at a book. 
          
          I won't promise a date of when I'll be able to put it up, but I will keep working on it until I do. 
          
          <3

Twice in two and a half weeks, huh? Yup, you've guessed it. I'm stopping 'What I Thought Before'. I've been really desperate to finish it because it's my first Wattpad book ever, but I've come to the conclusion that if I don't like it, it shouldn't be up there. If I'm not proud of it, I don't WANT it up there. And I'm not. There must be a reason why I find it so insanely difficult to write chapters. I thought it was my commitment to the story, but I think it might actually be the storyline. 
          
          I think I rushed into it. Failing to plan is planning to fail, as they say. I can't believe it took me like 12 chapters to realize it but yeah. I'm just not happy with it. 
          
          Can I just say though, that the reads matter to me. They always will. Maybe this is against everything I stand for, but you have to understand that for a newbie author, 340 reads is a lot to just throw away. But at the same time, I really really don't want to keep it up there whilst I rewrite the whole thing because to me, that's cheating. 
          
          I've already taken it down because I believe that if my story is a good one, then the reads should come easily. So far, in my opinion, they haven't. Which means massive improvement.
          
          Don't worry, I love writing. I love the description, the imagery of it all and I don't think that will change. I've had a story in mind for a couple of weeks now and I'm desperate to try it out. I'll definitely take more time and effort to plan this one and to develop the characters, as that is one thing I struggle immensely with, and then I'll pre-write a few chapters. 
          
          The whole process will probably take up to a few weeks so just bear with me until then. 
          
          Thanks for understanding.
          Shan.

Hi everyone- cutting right to the chase, I'm going to unpublished Called it Cliché. It isn't permanent, but I can't say exactly when it'll be back. I've just been feeling really dissatisfied and a little stressed with two stories, so I'll be improving it, tweaking a few things, and it'll be up sometime after What I Thought Before is finished. Hope you understand. Also, I've been getting a few other ideas that will be developed further, so yeah, Called it Cliché might not be the next story that I'm working on. 
          
          Thanks for reading!

What I thought before has been updated! Sorry it's two days late, but I'm hoping the drama and the length makes up for that.

Guys I just realized that I may have never uploaded the third chapter of Called it Cliché! Sorry, I honestly had no idea XD if you read chapter four already, then I'm really sorry :P Chapter 3 is up now, though. <3

Called it Cliché Updated! Gonna start working in some more romance... ;)

IT'S BEEN UPDATED! WHAT I THOUGHT BEFORE HAS BEEN UPDATED AND THIS IS NOT A DRILL, SOLDIERS! Go check it out! It's slightly more #feels in this chapter so yeah, I hope you enjoy.<3

Hey guys I know I haven't posted anything in weeks but I've been super busy, what with (I)GCSE coming up and SAT exams. I'm just not in the mood to write at all, at least not until everything has calmed down a little. This might mean an update next week or an update a few weeks from now. I'm sorry but it's the best I can do. Love you. <3

Happy Zhapgohmeh!! It just means happy last day of Chinese New Year but yeah. Updates coming soon, hopefully!
