Hey there guys, sorry if I got your hopes up with the update.

I just really needed to write this out so that I know people understand...

I've copied this chapter into every book published so that all or at least most of my followers see this...

I haven't been writing as much as I used to and usually there are a couple of months between each update, a few weeks if you're lucky.

I love writing, I always have, but recently it's getting really hard... my depression and anxiety has been getting progressively worse as time goes on, along with my writers block.

I'm finding it hard to put things into words properly at the minute and though I'm planning things and making little tweaks here and there and writing little prompts, it's still not as easy as it used to be when I began writing here on Wattpad.

My mental health isn't the only thing affecting my writing though. Please bare in mind that at the moment I have six books that are all incomplete and all in need of frequent updates. Most of them are sloppy and not planned very well so I'm kind of writing the plot as I go along.

There are some, for example; Guarded Soul, that are easier to write than others because they're more planned or because I'm more invested in it.

I don't want to sound like I'm whining but I ask for now that you please try and be patient with me when it comes to updates and not to get mad if I say I'm gonna update and then don't for some reason.

I would also like to say that you guys are fucking amazing, okay? Reading your comments and notes on my message board and PM's, they truly brighten my day and make me smile. A writer will never get tired of hearing their work being praised or reading a funny joke or even just seeing that their story is getting recognition really. So thank you sincerely for that. I love you all very much.

Now that that's out of the way, I have a surprise.

Well... two actually.

The first:

Is an update for every book I'm writing at the minute. I'm trying to get back on track, just bare with me as it may take a while.

The second:

Is that I'm holding a competition.

I don't know if anyone would be even remotely interested in this but I'm going to put it out there anyway just in case and to prove how much you and your lovely comments, messages, etc mean to me.

There will be three categories in which you can enter:

Writing: write a small chapter based around one of my stories. You can use an oc and they can interact with the main characters as you wish them to. Or you can use a main character and write something that you imagine could happen in the story. It's really up to you! As long as it sticks to the main plot line of the story of mine that you are writing it for. (I ask that if you choose this option you send your entry to me either on here or any of my other social media which I will leave below.)

Art: any art that you may want to do is welcomed, once again what I said above still stands. OC, main character, do whatever you like as long as it sticks to the main plot line so far. (Please tag me in your entries on Instagram and use the hash tag #AWCWattpad so that I definitely see it.)

Cosplay/skits etc: you can cosplay one or many of the characters, it's up to you. You can re-enact a scene from one of the chapters, or create a new scene of what you think should happen at what time in the said book. Both photographs and videos are allowed. (Again, please tag me on Instagram and use the hash tag #AWCWattpad so that I see it!)

I will be picking three winners from each category.

The prizes are as follows:
