I've been thinking about doing this for a few years now, and I think it's finally time that I remove the Secret Life series from my profile.
The reason for this is because, although they've helped me grow as a writer in the earlier years, they no longer represent where I am now. I look back at those books, and it's like I'm reading someone else's work. It's kind of a disheartening experience really, but I was 15/16 when I wrote it, so I get it. Moreover, I know that at this point, I'm probably never gonna go back to writing these books, and I had a good story in mind too for them, except external factors in my life that happened around the time of the second book's release severely discouraged me from continuing. I tried in 2020, but then I just never came back to them. I moved on to other stories I wanted to tell.
I still appreciate the story I made, which is why I'm not fully deleting them--just unpublishing them. Will this hurt my follower count? Possibly, but I still stand by this decision and I hope you guys understand where I'm coming from. I am so grateful that you guys stuck around and read my stories. Your feedback was amazing and encouraging. It's what kept me going as a writer. Hopefully you guys stick around to see my newer works.
I love you guys :)
