@shestillbelieves Hey, even though I haven't read your work, I still think you shouldn't have deleted your story. What I mean by that is if you miss writing, you shouldn't throw it away because of your friends. You need to stick by the things or people you care about. I had HTBAH in my library for the longest time because I never got around to reading it, but now that I'm active again, I really wanted to read it. When I clicked on it, I found you deleted it. Basically, what I'm saying is that you should take risks whether or not it costs you. Your story could have humiliated you or been published later. It all comes down to risks and passion. I hope you write again! :) xx - j
