So, uh, hey

Idk even where to begin since I've been gone for so long

It's been like, what, 10 months?? Since I've been on here?? Dang

I've changed a lot over this past year and look back on this book and a lot of things on my message board and just kinda,, cringe? Yeah

Idk how many of you remember me but I know I've missed out on a lot because I have 5.6K notifications so I'm sure a lot of you have improved and changed tremendously in your art and your friendships with other people.

A lot of you must have left this website for Tumblr or whatever too, and I know you wouldn't be seeing this then but sorry I wasn't there to support you at the time you left

There's no way I'm going to be able to look back into all those notifications, so I'm probably just going to let them clear out, and when anyone posts something new I'll go back and catch up on their profile. Even then I don't think I'll be able to go back and remember the last thing that I saw of each person at the time I left so I don't think I'm going to be able to catch up all that much.

I probably must have missed like at least 20 art theft fiascos and 132 birthdays at this point so if you have anything notable that you're willing to tell me, from general drama to personal achievements you're really proud of and want me to see/hear about, I'd really appreciate it

Idk I'm planning on making a new art book right after this chapter. The problem is that I haven't drawn in so long since I was so exhausted by school and everything, so my style has probably devolved into something unrecognizable

Plus I'm moving across-country again and won't have energy to post often, so that's fun

I won't unpublish this art book because I think it's good that I and other people get the chance to see the improvement and changes both in my art and who I am as a person

Idk I've gained a lot of new interests and lost some others. I've really changed a decent amount, at least from my perspective, but idk how much bc I don't remember what you guys do and don't know about me from the time I left Wattpad like a year ago.

I've made some decent work on my novel but there's still a long stretch ahead I have to get through?? That's notable I guess

It's going to take some time to get used to Wattpad again but I really missed you all and I appreciate the new followers and readers I got while I was gone

I would tag some of you specifically but I don't want to put anyone on the spot and I don't want to give anyone a heart attack if they don't remember me so thanks for reading this I guess

I hope to see you in the next book
