Hey everyone 
          	
          	I wanted to take a moment to explain why I’ve been gone for so long. Honestly, the truth is, I’ve been struggling a lot with my mental health. I missed writing so much, but every time I sat down to work on a chapter, my mind would just go blank. I could barely put words together, and it became really hard to create anything at all.
          	
          	It’s still a bit of a challenge, but I’ve been getting treatment, and it’s been helping me slowly improve day by day. I’m feeling better than I was before, and I’m grateful for that progress. I’m sorry for the long wait. I can’t promise I’ll always be consistent or perfectly on time with updates, but I’m going to do my best because I love writing these stories and I love reading everyone’s comments. 
          	
          	I’m hoping to find that same feeling I used to feel every time I wrote again since during these days it comes and goes, but my love for storytelling hasn’t changed. I still want to keep going, because Wattpad is one of the few places where I truly feel alive and able to express all my creativity.
          	
          	Thank you to everyone who’s stuck around, it means the world to me.

          	  As long as you’re getting better, that’s what matters I don’t know what happened, but don’t go to the area where your brain tells you you don’t need to be here. Don’t listen to your negative thoughts OK you’re stronger than you think. I believe in you you will recover.

@MayanTheSerpentine: I’m doing better now, thank you for asking.  I’ve been taking time to focus on my mental health and treatment, and it’s been helping a lot. I’m still on my way to full recovery, but I’m feeling more comfortable and positive lately.

Hey, I wanted to say that I'm glad you're getting better and I know the feeling when it comes to writing and you have to stop cause you don't know what to write or how to write it out. I get it cause when I was writing my KFP Fanfic: Returning for Love & Happiness, I was on a huge writing Hiatus for a chapter back in 2023 due to not knowing Chinese clothing. And I had to wait on some friends to help me out. Luckily, I had one friend who'd help me out after being fooled on ChatGPT. Then, there was another Hiatus for a year cause there was a scene that was hard to think of to write and I don't have a lot of knowledge with the Kung FU Panda world. But I haven't given up on writing, I just write at a slow pace. 
          The point that I'm trying to make is that writing can be a pain and it's okay to step away from it when your mind isn't on the right step and path. But as long as you enjoy writing it for people who love and give you amazing comments about the chapters like I did. Then that give you joy in your heart that people are still reading it. It's like when I see people who'd followed me have put my KFP Fanfic on different categories on this lovely website.
          Anyway, I hope you get better and don't let that flame of wanting to write not snuffed out, you keep on doing what you love most at your own pace as there's no rush.

Thank you so much for sharing this, it really means a lot.  And yeah, I’ve been going through a lot with my mental health lately, which is why I stepped away for a while. I needed to focus on getting treatment and taking care of myself. The good news is I’ve been feeling a lot better recently, and your words remind me why I love writing in the first place. Knowing there are people who still enjoy my work and are happy to see me back truly means the world.

Hey Midnight, I just read your latest chapter of your Transformers Prime Fanfic. And that is what I call  true writing with that surprising twist at the end. I was surprised to see that you posted a chapter, though I'm glad you did cause I missed reading your Fanfic. I hope your hand is healing well and I hope to see more of your story flourished throughout the second half of this year. It's weird that we're halfway through this year. I also wanted to let you know that I'm working on the next chapter of my Kung Fu Panda Fanfic: Returning for Love & Happiness. Though I have some slowness due to me having a new laptop and that has been a pain. But the keyboard is the same layout as my old laptop, but some of the keys like the function keys aren't the same, which I haven't liked. But it is what it is and I've been learning throughout the process, if you know what I mean.
          Anyway, I'll let you go and I hope to hear from you soon. Hope you've been having a great and lovely summer.
          Peace.

Hey, @Joseph112348. It’s so great to hear from you, and I’m really glad you enjoyed the latest chapter. I wanted that twist to really catch readers off guard, so it makes me happy to know it worked. I also wanted to be honest and let you know why I hadn’t been posting for a while. I’ve been struggling with my mental health for some time, and I decided to take a step back to focus on getting treatment. It’s been a tough journey, but the treatment has really been helping. I’ve been feeling a lot more comfortable and in a better place than I was before, which is why I’m slowly coming back to writing again. I’m happy to hear you’re working on your Kung Fu Panda fanfic. I know switching to a new laptop can be a headache, especially when the keys aren’t quite the same, but I’m sure you’ll get used to it soon. Thanks so much for your kind words and support, it really means a lot. I hope you’ve been having a great summer too, and I’m looking forward to reading your next chapter when it’s ready.

I don't mean to be rude but I hope you don't mind if I ask you this. Why did you have surgery on your right hand? & I hope you get better.

Midnight_433334

@Joseph112348, It’s alright, I don’t mind you asking. To explain, I had this strange lump on my right hand, right at the bend, and it would hurt every time I moved my hand or bent it. After getting it checked out, I found out it was something called a ganglion cyst. It’s mostly harmless, but it was a real pain because any movement involving my right hand would cause discomfort. I dealt with it for almost a year, going back and forth with doctors, trying to figure out the best course of action. At one point, it actually disappeared on its own, so I thought it was gone for good. But a few weeks later, it showed up again, and it turned out it had only shifted positions slightly. Eventually, they decided to have surgery to get it removed. The procedure went well, but now I’m dealing with some post-surgery pain, and I can’t fully use my right hand until it heals. It’s a bit frustrating, but I’m glad it’s finally taken care of, and I’m just focusing on recovery for now. Thanks for asking, and I really appreciate your concern!

Dear Readers, I wanted to take a moment to thank you all for your continued support and patience with my story. I know many of you have been looking forward to the next chapter, and I truly appreciate your excitement and dedication.
          
          Unfortunately, I won’t be able to post a chapter this week. The holidays kept me extremely busy, and today I had surgery on my right hand. The pain has been more intense than I anticipated, and while I had hoped I’d still be able to type, it’s proving to be really difficult right now.
          
          I’m so sorry for the delay, but I promise the next chapter will be ready by next week once I’ve had a little more time to recover. Thank you so much for understanding, and I can’t wait to share more of the story with you soon!

That’s fine focus on recovering

Hello, I owe you all an apology. It’s been almost seven weeks since my last update or new story, and I’m truly sorry for leaving you waiting. Life has been incredibly hectic, and I want to take a moment to explain. 
          
          Between school, a new job, and the demands of finals, exams, and presentations, my free time has been slipping away faster than I expected. Just when I thought I had a moment to breathe, it vanished under another wave of responsibilities. These past three weeks, especially, have been overwhelming, and I haven’t been able to give my stories the attention they deserve or the attention you all deserve.
          
          I deeply appreciate your patience and understanding, and I promise I haven’t forgotten about my stories or you, my amazing readers. Now that I’m on vacation for the holidays, I plan to dive back into writing. Starting next week, I’ll be working hard to bring you new updates and content.
          
          Thank you for sticking with me through this crazy time. Your support means everything, and I can’t wait to share more of my worlds and characters with you soon

You know the first thing I learned for being a writer is never ever force yourself or rush into it. If you need a break from writing, please by all means do it forcing yourself to write will never help the situation. Sometimes you gotta focus on yourself and personal needs. Writing is a hobby. It is not a life never force it on yourself
