I'm glad you're coming back with more writings, and are doing better :) I've been trying to check up on friends since I've finally found time to write and be on wattpad again. Do let me know when you start something new :) If you'd like to check out my new story Drifters I'd appreciate any feedback as always. But first focus on yourself, I know how desperate it can feel to write after a long break. <3

When I first started writing History Should Never Repeat Itself, my thoughts were particularly dark. I was slightly depressed and had resorted to writing to help myself clear my thoughts. When my mind started becoming clearer and brighter, my writing began to dwindle down to whenever I found time. I started getting out more. Started spending more time with friends, with family. I'm more active. I laugh and smile more. I'm not as angry as I once was. Everything that was once Pauline before my depression has returned. I don't have dark thoughts. I don't think of what ifs anymore. I have routines with my family in ways I never had before. I get more sleep. I don't sit on the couch or stay in bed as much as I once did. I'm losing weight though as much as I try to tan, I still stay white haha. I joke around much more than I once did and while my clothing has brightened much from the dark colors, my personality has. I'm so much more happier. I have more time on my hands. I no longer have anything else occupying my mind. While my writing has stopped for a while, I assure you it was in my best interests. I needed to get away from being on the computer for so long. Now that I have, I found I'm always doing something active and eventually writing slipped from my mind. I talked to some of my friends and to my cousin about my story, History, and what I plan on doing when I continue writing again. I have a lot of ideas that I think you will all like. (: But first, I have to outline. Truly outline everything. I have to create character profiles so that my writing does not go out of hand and so my characters don't change too early or too late. I want progress and in order for me to do that, I must start getting more organized instead of just winging it and writing whenever. I am also going to create a schedule for when I will post anything. That will come when I am actually ready to start writing again. Both of my stories WILL pick up again and you won't be disappointed.

Alright... Every chapter after chapter seven has been DELETED. Near the end of chapter seven is where the rewrite starts. The ending to chapter seven has changed completely which marks the difference for all of the chapters that followed. So you should go check out the new ending to chapter seven and tell me what you think? :D I hope you will be excited for the new and improved History Should Never Repeat Itself!

I am also thinking about changing the title... Tell me what you think in the comments!! (:

After much thought and discussion with others, I have come to my final decision. Starting with Chapter Seven of History, I am rewriting the story. The prologue all the way to chapter six shall remain the same - minus some minor changes. I will be deleting all chapters taking place after chapter seven; however, chapter seven will be the start of my changes. The story will be taking a different path than what it is at now but the over all plot will stay the same. I have thought about what I want to do and hopefully this time, it will be more organized and better. (: Stay tuned for the new and improved chapter seven!! :D

@azweiris Lol, yeah I know what you mean. I really like the sound of her name plus it's such a monumental part to the story and a name that has caught a lot of emotion but when I look at the names of all of my other characters, she is the only one with an Asian name even though she isn't Asian at all. Idk, I really like her name but it just doesn't seem to fit. I might end up keeping it though, haha.

And as much as I really want to finish it first, I can't. I just have no inspiration to continue where I left off. I'm not going to start too soon because I am creating a basic outline for every idea and chapter and character. I know that I'm going to keep the first few chapters - probably up to where Malik is introduced but from there, it will be completely renewed and rewritten. The chapters I'm keeping though might be changed a bit but only some parts of it.

But Ayane's name is cute!!! Why would you want to change that? *pouts* Of course I'll be there if you'll rewrite that, you know I always will. :) Yeah I understand. I do that to this new DKT, you know, lol, different story but still the same. :P Will you rewrite History completely once it's done or you'll rewrite it now?

@azweiris As always, I can count on you to talk me out of this. :P But, I still feel like it needs a lot of fixing. I am planning on changing the whole story around. An almost complete rewrite. The first few chapters, like I said, were paced perfectly and I am proud of it. So starting at a certain chapter, I am rewriting the story. I plan on keeping the same concept, the same setting, and the same characters though the story behind them will be changed for the better. It won't happen that quickly seeing as I want to plan each chapter and back story out but I do know that what I had in mind from the very beginning is going to stay the same. However, Ayane's name is going to change and so will the overall title of the story. I have been thinking about doing that for a while so seeing as this is going to be a new version, I thought that this was the perfect time to do that. I just hope that the people who were there from the beginning will still be here for the rewrite because I can assure you, this will be a completely different story though it will still be the same. Confusing but I think you'll understand what I mean lol.

 Oh, Pauline... 
I can't think of any flaw in History.... because I personally adore that story of yours to pieces (that you already know). It's full of emotion I felt like I was being dragged to Elijah "brother"s world. Please don't delete it, I beg you. Or if you don't think it goes to the way you want, you can always re-write it like I do.

As for A Werewolf, I haven't been on Wattpad a lot lately because of work and family stuff, but I always try to get to my friends' updates, including yours. And you know I always wait for your incoming chapters for both stories. Please don't feel down again... I know that feeling (I currently have that feeling at the moment and if it's not because of a couple of friends that stay with me until now, I might have already deleted from Wattpad. Lol), just stay strong and keep writing whenever you can, Pauline. :) You're an awesome writer, don't doubt yourself. ;D

Okay... here's the thing. I know a month ago I said that I will not allow another hiatus to stop me from posting. I even said that I have started the next chapter! Which, of course, I did. Thing is, half way through, I felt an unwanted feeling. I felt like I rushed through the story. I rushed through the setting, the plot, the characters - EVERYTHING. I love my story, don't get me wrong and I love all my characters; however, I feel like there are so many plot holes. I know I've had this problem before and I was reassured by the most awesomest person and fan in the world but... the feeling is back. And it's stronger. And worst of all, it's keeping me from updating. A Wolf In Vampire Clothing is fine. I feel like the plot and setting is going at the perfect place but with History, I feel like I went too fast. The first few chapters were perfectly fine and helped set the story but after that, I just don't know. I feel like everything is everywhere. Plus, I have a huge abundance of characters that I just feel like they shouldn't even be there anymore. I mean Aurora is barely there and it's hard to write a scene including her in it because - UGH, see what I mean? It's just TOO MANY CHARACTERS. Lol. Sorry for my ranting. I guess the point of this is, I want your honest to God opinion. I want you to put your critically thinking minds and tell me every damn flaw History has because I am so on the verge of stopping it completely and just deleting it (which trust me, it hurts). Please help!! ):
