Hi everyone! Yes, I know, I know. I keep saying I'm gonna update and I keep on coming short. I apologize for that. Here's the thing, I believe I have figured out why writing this gets harder and harder and I keep ending up with writer's block. I just... don't connect with the characters anymore, if that makes sense. 
          	
          	It's a slippery slope because writing a fanfic based on real life people instead of characters on some shows brings more factors to consider and I think we can all agree that the Camren ship has sunk years ago. I don't even follow Camila's or Lauren's careers. I don't think I even like the personalities they show to the world these days. No offense to them but like I said, I can't feel any connections whatsoever. 
          	
          	And so I've been thinking about actually changing this story to be an original one, with characters that are of course gonna keep reminding you of Camren because I can't completely change everything but at the end of the day they'd be characters I'm comfortable writing. That's one option. 
          	
          	The other one is, well, I can continue this whole thing with all of the initial intentions but I'm pretty sure at some point the characters are gonna be 'out of character'. Which is actually funny because the people we know them of now are obviously not the same people we knew of then. 
          	
          	Do let me know what you think of this. I really appreciate all of your inputs. Hope you all have a great week ahead! :)

@indigoXnike thank you for your input. I'm taking it into consideration and I think my gut feeling is telling me to lean into what's already there and not being afraid of the way I want to write their characteristics.

im so happy to have stumbled upon your stories... you have this amzing way with your words.. such beautifully crafted stories, it evokes emotions from us readers.. your story “our way back” brought me happy tears.. i was smiling and shedding tears at the same time.. i have only been a fan of camren for less than a year and seriously i have never loved and shipped two people more.. regardless if camren was/is true or not.. you amazing writers have given us readers love stories to dream and root for... so thank you.. p.s. hopefully your inspiration to finish as the wind changes be back to you.. that perfection shouldnt be unfinished.. ❤️❤️❤️

@Kairosclerosis-Opia well we readers just have to thank you guys for sharing your talent with us.. its been a while since ive last read a good novel until i read diwk (first camren fanfic ive read) and now i have discovered lots of great books here and some even more interesting and well put than the published novels... p.s. a lot of camila’s song are being leaked now.. its kind of exciting and worrying as to why that is happening.. damn her song are so good! and revealing...

@musicheart00 duly noted! I'm gonna add you and when I feel like reading camren fanfics again, I will peruse your list. I'm currently in deep with supercorp fanfics over on ao3. The writers in that fandom are just out of this world. Like, seriously. 
            And when it comes to camren, we really don't know what's real and what's not anymore, we never did but still we ran away with our assumptions and wishful thinking haha
            And yeah, great writers wouldn't be great without the people reading their works so we all have our virtues, right?

Hello, everyone! Something is coming and so I'd like to prepare you by offering this little snippet of a flashback to the first day Camila arrived at Matheson High. Hope you enjoy!
          
          “Uh oh. I think the superstar has set her eyes on you.”
          
          “Huh?” Camila blinked, breaking her reverie. How did she get so lost in thoughts of a girl she didn’t even know? “What do you mean?”
          
          Hailee jerked her head, gesturing over her shoulder. “She’s been looking your way, girl.”
          
          And sure enough, as Camila lifted her gaze she could see how Mikaela’s eyes were fixed on her. Realizing that she had Camila’s attention, the girl smirked. And if it wasn’t because of what had transpired earlier in the morning, Camila would think Mikaela was too full of herself. But she knew better, well, she wanted to assume better. 
          
          And so she smiled back, sheepish and uncertain. As those azure gems locked with her brown orbs, all thoughts of green faded into the background.

@Daviewer i always believe that we attract what we give out to the world and I believe I'm right in believing that because I've got the most amazing readers, that have been so sweet and (hella) patient with me, such as yourself. So thank you for the support over the years and for your belief in this story :) Stay safe out there (well, in the house? That's weird to say but the world today is even weirder so why not) 
            Till next time!

@sevein345 I'm trying. But after so long the words just don't come easy and I don't think I'll do my own story justice with the next chapter :(
