Hello, friends! Today marks my one year anniversary of posting on Wattpad. 
          
          Last June 1, it was a beautiful sunny day and I had nothing better to do for 2 hours, so I started to write. Therefore, What Happens In Between was born. I know it’s been about five months since I last updated, but I promise you it is coming soon.
          
          My prequel to What Happens In Between, If These Walls Could Talk, has about three chapters left and I think it’s important. I finish that before continuing with WHIB.
          
          Some of you may have noticed I’ve been posting some smaller stories some one shots. Some of these have also been in third person style. I have almost always written in first person because it’s easier. Writing in third person is hard. It’s slightly easier to write third person with a fanfic because your readers know your characters they know what they look like, they know how they act, their characteristics and mannerisms. But I’ve started writing an original story (two actually) and this is in third person so I need to practice. Obviously, I know my original characters, but I’m not sure if they’re coming across to any readers. It’s something I’m working on, alongside my fanfics. 
          
          Anyway, just wanted to say happy anniversary to me and thank you all (old and new followers) for sticking with me, reading my fics, leaving your comments, and liking my stories. ❤️

Chapter 4 of "And you wonder what if?" incoming. Chapter 5, the final chapter, at 9am tomorrow. <3 
          
          Back to "If these walls could talk" if creativity remains. Wish me luck, lol.

I’m calling it now. I’m sure Autumn’s having twins. 
          
          Having just written that into my final part of “and you wonder what if”, I realise I probably won’t post it before the baby news is announced.  so I’m placing my bets and saying it now.  
          
          Part 3 scheduled for this afternoon. Parts 4&5 sometime over the weekend. 
          
          Not sure what’s happening this week but creativity is on fire. I’ve been busy at work, working on a big creative project and I’ve also started two original stories, plus this little Mialotte what if mini-series…. Running with it cos I’m sure it won’t last for long and I’ll go back to a two month hibernation/hiatus. 

Just a few ramblings & requests: 
          
          If These Walls Could Talk is coming soon. I promise. This is all totally original storylines and it’s spanning November 2023-May 2024. It will end as What Happens In Between starts. I don’t imagine it to be too long, but we are in for an adventure. 
          
          What Happens In Between WILL be updated soon. I have the next five chapters mapped out but I’m overthinking what needs to be included. I was reliant on the storylines from Charlotte to link but I’m gonna have to transcribe some of them because I can’t expect you all to search them to recap what happened on screen, to hear my story of what happens in between.  the next part is Deliah showing up so I’ve never written this character before either so I want it to be believable and I’m struggling with that. 
          
          One shots - since Straighteners got a good response (I think?!!) I wanna do some more to get my brain in gear soooooo (if you want to) give me an object(s), a character/pairing and a level/type. And I’ll do a (minimum) 1000 word little “ficlet” for you. I am kinda in Mia’s head too so it’s easier for me to write Mia paired with someone.  
          
          So for example, Straighteners was: hair straighteners, Mia/Siobhan (hints/mentions of Viv, Char, Carly), pg rated/friendship. 

So this is how my brain works, welcome to the world of undiagnosed adhd, apparently. 
          
          I have no motivation to write right now. I have the ideas but not the concentration span to sit and write it. My head also hurts and I’ve not even got the energy to choose something to watch on tv.
          
          I’ve also not got the capacity to read much either. I wish with some of these fics you could play them like an audio book. Some of the Wattpad originals you can do that which I think is pretty cool. Someone told me the other day that I had a great voice and accent, and that I should do audio books. I’m not about to but I did think about doing that with one of my stories (probably what happens in between) just to see if the time Wattpad says it will take you to read is the same time it would actually take me to speak/record. It is an interesting thought so I might still do that. Does anyone else think things like this???? 
          
          I have several chapters either written or mapped out. What do I do?!!!  I feel like I need to do a prompt challenge or something. 

Ok so my mental health hasn’t been great and writing/reading was getting me down a bit so I deleted my account but have reinstated it now (obviously cos here I am posting!). It’s a long story and I needed to focus on life and work as work has been super crazy towards the end of the year. I’ve had a chunk of time off over Xmas though and been reflecting on stuff and 2025 is gonna be better. 
          
          Moving on…. It says my followers/following lists seem to be a bit messed up. I’ve got people in my following list but when I go to their profile it’s asked me to follow them. I also don’t have many in my followers list but I know people are following me (I checked a few mutual follows and you are following me & I’m following you but you’re not in my lists!). Sooooo if you’re following me and I’m not following you back, give me a nudge. I do try to follow back on everyone who follows or reads/comments on my fics. 
          
          I’ve got a few things planned including making more of story/spin off of my chapters named “if these walls could talk”. Question, what are we calling Mia/Siobhan? Miabby? Mibby? Shibia?? Is there a pairing name? Perhaps not as it’s not really a couple in the grand scheme of things. Help a girl out, what can we call them?
