"If there isn't a book that you want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, you must be the one to write it." -Toni Morrison

So I'm taking her advice, therefore taking a major pause in writing fanfic to start working on original material again. It's been fun so far, and I'm a long way from having a finished product, but just taking that first step has refreshed my love of writing. I'm not saying that all of my unfinished works are being permanently abandoned, some might be, but it'll be a while before they are touched. Nothing will be deleted that hasn't already been deleted, although there is one story I'm eyeballing that I have some preliminary plans to restructure into an original novel. But that's the nuclear option. Nevertheless, thanks so much for rocking with me through the tumultuous TVD years. Stay safe, masked up, socialize from a distance when you can, and be kind to yourself and others.

Love y'all,

Lapis

P.S. This is something I feel shouldn't be said, but was recently brought to my attention but...don't upload any of my works to another site. Please, and thank you so much!
