Hi, all.
          	I have been silent on Wattpad for months, I know. Real life has just hit me hard. I graduated with my degree in December, and my boyfriend of 6 years dumped me the day after walking. Then exactly a month later I started my first full-time adult job. Although life has changed for the better, it's very overwhelming as my entire life changed in a month! Anyway, I am trying to make a comeback. I have new stories to tell... 
          	
          	Maybe you don't know this, but the character of Marlee from FastPass to Love was modeled after my ex. He was VERY scared of commitment because his parents were divorced. The fact we made it to 6 years surprises me... I guess he just lied to himself for too long and couldn't handle it anymore. But now I'm on a personal journey of learning how to take care of myself. I think it would make a really good story on Wattpad... so I want to write about it! 
          	
          	I neglected all my friends while in my relationship, and now I'm trying to make girlfriends as an adult (which is hard btw). I'm working on myself both mentally and physically. I'm starting therapy next month and have been hitting the gym since September. 
          	
          	But of course my life isn't all story worthy so the alternate "me" will have an exciting love story with a MAN who is confident and true to himself, and not a BOY who is resentful of a woman's independence and strength (sorry, I just had to make that jab there). 
          	
          	Hope you all are doing much better than me <3

I uploaded a writing vlog on my Youtube channel! https://youtu.be/_SPTOWMiFtQ

@David-O thanks!! I was a little unsure if I should mention it because only my Wattpad friends know my work and literally nobody else in my life or other social medias know. So i think i’ll be more open with practice! I am redoing Sweet on You though :)

@KaylaKeifer I watched that whole vlog and you didn't mention the book you were outlining at all! :) It was still a good video. :) Interesting to see how you get your ideas onto the page (literally).

I just looked at the 2 Award events I've done on Wattpad... and I'm remembering how fun it was! Sadly, I feel like these events are going away... I see them less and less. So I don't think I'd do another one anytime soon... but damn, I did have fun!

Sorry for not being very active. I went to the emergency room last night because my strep has gotten out of control and my airway was being blocked. This month has been pretty sucky. I started 2019 with a stomach virus and now I have strep and an emergency room bill.

@BornToWrite47 I'm feeling much better now that I have medication! It was just scary for a little bit because I didn't know if I would stop breathing in my sleep :(

@Jaspira Thank you! I'm feeling much better now that I got some steroids and antibiotics.

Sat down for three hours today to work on revising Sweet on You. All I ended up doing in that time was add more details to the 6 chapters I already had revised.... It was so disappointing to feel like I got a lot done.. and then look down at the paper and realize I did nothing.

Good! It will happen!

@Jaspira I'm on round 2 of scraping this story :/ but I'll do it 100 times because I'm passionate about this idea and I want to see it get made

Don’t be too hard on yourself. It happens sometimes. There may even be a time when you have to scrap it and rewrite it again. But if you stick with it everything will work out.
