Hey guys... I know I've been inactive lately, and I apologize. Last year when I was graduating from university I made the dumbass decision to apply to graduate schools, specifically creative writing. I got rejected from all of the schools that I applied to for an MFA in Creative Writing and got into the only outlier program I applied to, public and professional writing. I've been in a slump about it for weeks because being a storyteller is probably my only true talent and getting rejected means that I'm not good enough. I know that I don't need to have advanced degrees, or even a degree in general, to make books and post these imagines/fics for you guys, but getting rejected is hard. I got the final rejection letter in May 2021 but I got the first one in March 2021 in the middle of writing some things for you guys. I haven't written a single creative thing since then and I honestly don't know when I'm going to find the confidence that I've had since I was 12 again. This year would have been a decade since I started writing and I had thought that I had gotten better over time. However, I can't help but be overly critical of things I had once loved. I've felt bad about abandoning this blog and my Wattpad. It's been weighing heavily on me for months. Academia has taken a lot from me, and unfortunately, it has taken this from me too. I refuse to let it take this away from me too. I am going to work on myself and my writing this summer before going back to school in the fall. I am fortunate enough that the master's degree program I managed to (con my way into) earned a spot in will allow me to take a creative writing course. Until then, I will remain inactive. I hope you all can understand. Thank you to those who have been reading my work and giving me love while I have been on this unexpected hiatus.
