Wow, so, hello.
Haven’t been on here for a hot minute (more like years, damn).
Well, that’s not true. I lurked a bit lol. But my mental health was just in the gutter (still is tbh) and I couldn’t stand the one place in the world I actually loved and felt safe in.
Anybody ever get that?
But, Jesus, anyways... Hi?
Anybody even still here?
How are ya’ll? Genuinely would like to know.
And why are you guys STILL reading What Not To Do In PJO FF?? lol my humor as a 12 year old was abysmal.
And, god, that’s so... I was TWELVE? I’m TWENTY now? Perspective... shit.
Also the new layout? Wattpad... sweetie.... are you okay?
I’m all over the place haha.
But on an ending note, I’m of a mind to finally come back. Maybe. I’m trying to fall in love with writing again. For real this time. And I guess this is me asking: is it worth it?

@Poptartstar_MemeClan you genuinely made me tear up :) I never thought a book I did for the lol of it ever stuck to someone like that. It always felt so juvenile to me, especially at my adult age haha. And ur right: nostalgia is very powerful. (Again, I just never thought a book I did for the lol and wrote on my beat-up old tablet during class no less, would be a source of nostalgia XD). Thanks for ur kind words of encouragement:))) I’m so happy to see this site is still full of the same kind of people as it was back then, ones with a love of writing and fiction and stories and big hearts. Thank you. You guys are truly a big the reason I still haven’t given up my passion.

@NovellaNovel I was actually just getting back into the PJO Fandom re-reading the books for the hundredth time and such, and was actually thinking about my favorite parody Percy Jackson book when this notification popped up when I tried to look at the book for nostalgia's sake. I'm sorry to hear about your mental health, I hope it gets better in the near future. I think that personally, to me when I make a chapter of two and see the comments on stuff I write, for the most part they're really fun to read, even if it's just a lol. I think that part of that could be all the effort that's put into the writing you do to make it not terrible, and knowing someone enjoyed that is good enough for me, though getting there is often difficult. I don't think anyone really wants to write, per say, instead we want to think about what will happen and have it magically appear onto the screen, instead of constantly thinking about good words to use, or if what I write makes sense, or even if I have too many commas in a sentence. It's really difficult to get back into writing it you've been gone for a long time, "how do I start? How do I send? WHY CAN'T I DESCRIBE THIS VERY SPECIFIC FACIAL EXPRESSION WELL?" But no matter if you continue to update your books, or just decide to update messages instead, I'll still be around, and read back on your work. After all, there's no power greater than nostalgia, I still remember some very specific things in the What Not To Do In PJO FF, it's stuck to me, like grease in my hair, and influenced me to become a better writer, not just in PJO fanfics, but just in general. Anywho, sorry for rambling for a long time. You're a great writer from what I can tell, and I hope that you stay hydrated, fed, and sheltered. :D
