          Hello peeps. It's been months since I been here or posted anything. But I come bearing news! I'm hoping by the summer to have enough chapters and plot ready to begin posting my spinoff of Healing Scars! It'll follow our resident headache, Azazel, and his story through senior year.
          
          I'll post more about it when I have it ready. For now I think it'll be called Cracks in the Wall. I highly recommend reading Healing Scars or some things frankly are not going to make sense. (Particularly bonuses if you are worried about the time skip and the character exp)
          
          Hope yall are doing alright and I'll see you soon!

Chapter 4 of How a Mind Can be Influenced is out! This chapter hurts more, but I like how it came out. So click on over to read more of Kasper's and Alula's adventure.
          
          The last chapter will be out tomorrow! Happy Holidays everyone! (I probably won't be using my board very much til the new year :])

Hi peeps! 
          
          I finally published my short story How a Mind Can be Influenced. The first two chapters are out and there will be five total. The next chapter will be out either tomorrow or Sunday. I would just put them all out now, but hehe then any rankings and that would suffer. Algorithms are annoying and confusing
          
          The story was done for a fiction writing class I took so I hope you all enjoy it. Have a good day/night!

HEALING SCARS IS OFFICIALLY ENTERED IN THE 2020 WATTYS!! Editing an entire book is a lot of work, but thankfully I have an amazing friend who helped me edit the entire thing! So here's a public thank you @music444
          
          I'm sorry if you got a spam of chapter updates, but I had to upload ALL the edited chapters. I promise I'm done lol. Anyways, Healing Scars is officially completed! I won't have any more bonuses most likely, so Cayden's story has come to a close. Thank you to everyone who read it and supported it! 
          
          Turtle author out✌

Hi! To share your tip in my book, is it OK for me to screenshot your account? I'll mention you and explain the meaning behind the cover! :)

Bonus #3 for Healing Scars is published! Please read the AN at the end. 
          
          Happy Pride all! 

Hey everyone. I have something to tell you all.
          
          I have officially unpublished Connected Lives. It was my ongoing story which was a revamp and rewrite of Finding Her Way. 
          
          I put a lot of effort into CL, completely planned the story, developed the personalities of my characters the way I wanted. But, I just can't seem to write it. I got one part done, then hit a full on block on the next part. It was a mess, drawn out, and felt inconsistent with who the characters were.
          
          For example, Scarlett, who the story primarily follows, is supposed to be strong and always learning to adapt. But as I wrote and tried different ways to show her complexity, it came out all wrong.
          
          This and other reasons have led me to just taking it down completely. I love the world and story, but I don't feel ready to tell it. One day I hope to share them, but right isn't that time.
          
          I'll be keeping up with bonuses for Healing Scars and that's it. Other than that and the current awards I'm in for HS, I won't be doing much. Maybe I'll publish a short story I did for school. I'll still respond to comments on stories or any PMs I get. I hope you understand.

Hello peeps! Ever absent Turtle here with a quick announcement.
          
          I'm currently working on a bonus for HS to give some fluff for pride month! I'm not sure when it'll be out, but it will come out in June! It's set the fall of their senior year.
          
          I want to do a 2nd bonus as well, but I haven't decide what to do it on. If you have an idea, leave it below or PM me!
          
          Bye everyone and stay safe!
