• a c c o u n t » So I've decided to consider my AO3 account as my main writing account. And I unlisted my poetry books because this is only a secondary account! I don't really know if that makes sense, but basically I want this to be a partial collection (I don't know words) of my work while AO3 is a full one. So yeah. I just haven't found too many stories that I've clicked with super well on here, which I feel bad about, so I felt fake calling this my main account.
•• You can find the link to my AO3 in my profile. :)

{ u p d a t e // 2 0 1 9 ! ! ! }

• h i a t u s » Still on it, but less so! Getting back into the swing of reading and writing, and as a result I have an exciting new development, which leads me to my next point…

• N E W P O E T R Y B O O K » I've published another poetry book! Haven't uploaded any poems to it quite yet because I'm still fixing up a few things, but the zero matter's up for you to look at. Also, be prepared for the first poem in it to be very…personal. #The World Doesn't Make Sense - By Aretice N. Treader

Anyway, I hope you all have a good 2019! I know I'm going to do my best to make it a good year (and be more productive lol I've been sitting on #War Crimes - By Aretice N. Treader for years).

{ u p d a t e // new story!!! }
• h i a t u s » So I've been getting back into my reading habits (I will conquer my library!) but unfortunately my writing habits have not caught up yet. And I'm preparing to go into another quarter for maybe 5, maybe more classes. Which means I will not have time to write unless a miracle called "I manage my time perfectly to the millisecond and my brain doesn't completely die" happens. (Spoiler: It probably won't. I still have not recovered from the past year.) However…
• W A R   C R I M E S » I have decided to put up the zero matter for the fantasy story I have been working on (for years lol)! Only for a short time because I've only written a few chapters out of many, but I'm hoping to get to a point where I am comfortable to start publishing chapters by the end of next year. I've been promising this one for a while, however, so please be patient with me hahahaha. But also be hype, this one's gonna be a wild ride.
tl;dr: my reading? catching up. my writing? falling behind. FOR A LIMITED TIME ONLY read the zero matter for a new story.

• h i a t u s » Hello! I know I've been mostly gone for, well, forever now, but I'm working on catching up on my reading and writing (I'm slow, sorry). I'll be back completely soon.

• P I C T U R E S Q U E » Okay, so I know the book says that I'll only take it down when it's finished, but I've decided to take it down in a week (possibly later, we'll see). Here's the deal: It's not what I consider good for my writing. The story is problematic, the characters are bland, and I just don't have the motivation to finish it. At all. It's really painful for me to try to write. I do not have the energy to even halfheartedly finish this book, and I'm not going to waste energy on this when I have other stories I'm much more excited for. It might return if I ever go back and overhaul the plot (and I mean it will probably be unrecognizable). However, that's not something I'm willing to do right now. I hope you all understand.

tl;dr: I'm active again (or will be soon), and you only have maybe a week to read what few chapters of Picturesque I have up, if you're into that.

Happy New Year's, everyone! I hope 2018 is as good to you all as you have been to me.

Okay, here's the deal: I know I haven't released any content worth reading since 2016, but I'm hoping to change that this year. With War Crimes, specifically. So I'll be trying to post little teasers or other content for it on Twitter every week or so until I'm ready to post that story. Here's the first: https://twitter.com/areticentreader/status/947746866136887296
