 Hi.

I think we all knew this was coming.

I can’t do this anymore. I love this story, and I love my readers so much. And I just can’t keep writing these shitty disjointed chapters once a week. It’s not how I want this story to be, it’s not who I want to be as a wattpad writer. Im going through a weird stage in my life at the moment. I have a lot going on but I also kind of have nothing going on. And I’m in a bit of a slump. I’m not really in a good emotional place to be writing this, because I never think about it. When I first started writing, I sweat 70% of my thoughts were Lola’s and only 30% were my own, and that’s why I used to wake up every day and write because it was in me and it was just dying to get put into words. But I don’t have that anymore. I’ve lost it. Somewhere along the line, my life got too busy or I got too distracted or something happened and I just don’t think like Lola anymore, I don’t feel her character or her emotions like I used to. I have this story line set out perfectly, I have it all planned and I know it’s going to rock your worlds. If it’s written properly. And at the moment, I can’t do that. I don’t want you guys to just put up with once a week shitty 1000 word chapter updates anymore. That’s bullshit. I hate stories like that, like if the story is dead let it die. But this story isn’t dead. It’s got so much left in it, I’m not done with these characters just yet. I just need to reconnect with them and that’s probably not going to happen till uni is over. My final exam is November 4th. I guarantee you, by then I will be back to normal. Just give me this time to get this story back to something I’m proud of, something I can’t wait to write and I can’t wait for you guys to read. Like I think back to the end of Acquaintances and my chapter’s were getting such a reaction, and they’re just not anymore because they don’t warrant it. I’m sorry that this sucks. I hate when writers take breaks, but you all know I need this. I Love this story and I can’t keep writing it badly. I want it to be perfect. So, I’m taking a break. Not from writing, but from posting. I’m going to keep trying to write and trying to get my Lola back, so I can write the chapters I’ve been planning for months and get maximum emotional impact out of them. Please don’t hate me, and please when I start posting again, please keep reading. Don’t give up on me. I love you all so much, wattpad has been one of the best things I’ve ever done and I’m glad I started this fic because I’ve met amazing people. I want Strangers to have atleast 70 chapters, but at the moment it feels like such a chore to write. I want to be genuinely excited to write again, which is why I need this break. Please don’t hate me. I will still be tweeting etc. so if you want to talk to me or ask me questions go on twitter @billlieex or ask.fm/billlieex. Also, please spread Friends with all of your friends, I want to get to 1 million readers. Thank you, please understand. This is NOT the end of Strangers, I WILL be finishing it, I PROMISE. I just need a break. I promise when I'm back it will be back to once a day updates, and communicating with you all WAY more. Thank you for being amazing readers and understanding, I'll be back as soon as possible. Love Billie xxxx
