Feel pretty depressed at the moment. Can't seem to get any substantial content written on any of my works and I feel pretty much like a failure. Everything I write feels like garbage, and I don't even know what to do about Once Mated anymore. I want to continue along the current path but a lot of the past complaints on chapter 10 are making more and more sense nowadays. I might put it on hiatus until I decide what I want to do, or just give up writing in general. I have so many ideas and stories, so many WIPs, but what's the point of it all when I can't even sit and focus long enough to finish a single chapter on anything. I feel like I'm failing all of you on my published works, making you wait so long for subpar content. You deserve better and I don't feel like I'm capable of that anymore. Writing is such an integral part of my personality, but if I can't even produce the most basic of content then who even am I? I feel like I'm losing myself to this damned neurological bullshit and it's just making my depression all the worse.

Good morning,
                        How are you. I hope you’re doing well, I was just wondering if you will be updating once mated, twice loved. There’s not a lot of twilight stories like this one out there and I really love your vision better. Hope everything is okay. 

ArielApostolos

@Crazytweety91 yes, I'm hitting a bit of a snag so I'm using a writing prompt contest to stimulate my other stories, but I will never abandon my stories so long as I live. I just have Neuro issues that keep acting up while my meds are adjusted

ArielApostolos

@RayannaYencer my name on ffnet is ArielApostolos in case you want follow me. You should get an AO3, after all, ffnet has hit a downward spiral after their last set of copyright strikes. My biggest problem is being unable to delete negative comments from assholes that you can't moderate.

Hey!!! I looked for you on AO3,but I couldn't find you under the name you said. There was like 7 other Ariels. Is there another name that I could look you up under?
          
          

suckitttt

What’s your fanfic user name?

ArielApostolos

@suckitttt ffnet is ArielApostolos, but I don't post there anymore.  Too toxic, nearly made me quit writing Mated.  But I cross-post to AO3 under Ariel Bowden

Sorry to everyone looking for updates! I caught COVID earlier this month and life has been hell ever since. Haven't been able to focus on writing or reading or doing anything other than trying not to cough myself to death. Luckily, I was only on 5 days quarantine, then 5 days with a mask, and thanks to the vaccine I am on the mend and even got reimbursed for missing work. Unlucky, my car decided it was this year that the radiator would crack on me so I've been spending my spare time fixing that while still feeling like warmed over crap. I appreciate everyone who have been inquiring and I assure you I'm going to continue my stories, I just need to get healthy again before I can focus on my stories.
          
          That being said, I've also fallen into an obsession with Wednesday, Wenclair ftw! I tried to start writing a story for the pairing but like my other stuff, it took a nap while I recover. Please be sure and follow my profile here and on AO3 to keep in touch!
          
          Thanks for the continued support!

Are you still writing the seer's conumdrum?

@Unknown_Gazer alas it's more about finding the right combination of medications that doesn't exacerbate my other symptoms lol. I have my partner of almost 12 years that makes me indescribably happy, but that doesn't negate my mental health issues. Just gotta keep on until we find the balance that works!
