Im unfamiliar with NaNoWriMo, but I’m very sorry for the writers who invested blood, sweat and tears to be part of what appears to have been a vibrant online writing community.

Thank you so much Charlotte. It truly was a wonderous place at one time, a communal writing community where young writers could find support and encouragement to write.

I’m really sorry to hear that R. H. the platform closed down; that must be really disheartening. Losing a communal space where young writers could find support and encouragement is truly a loss. It’s so important to have those connections, and it’s tough when they’re taken away. I hope new opportunities arise, so writers can continue to inspire and support each other! ✨💜🙏

If there is one thing I have learned the hard way. Is trust no one. Until they earn your trust. And in my case they may have to earn it a few times

My Trust is earned all too easily, especially through Ice Cream. As a result, I may not know who to trust, but I know who has good Ice Cream

It's sad that a once vibrant community fell to darkness, and then when people got tired of the darkness, the community died.

But ultimately, you didn't need NANOWRMO in order to finish a novel.

Truth, Josesh. We didn't need NANOWRIMO -we just needed each other💖

Lol, Jon del Aroz is a Mexican Grifter.

Nanowrimo was always just Fujoshit for Fucking Fujos.

Yep, just as everything does, then it comes back, and it gets worse.

Nothing Good Has Ever Happened. All is Misery.

When a being no longer has the the lovely form of a duck, waddles like a duck or quacks like a duck, it is no longer that knave of water.

An unthing.

One can weep for what was once a duck, but the fall of unthings is cause to rejoice as one might at a skinwalker dying to starvation without deadly battle needing be fought.

The loss was long before, in the grave is only profane ash of what once was a thing.

Wise words indeed. Anyone who tries to sell you something will always have their bottom line in mind. A fact all of us should remember.

It is so sad that we have come to this; that positions of trust are now reasons in and of themselves for distrust.

Your reality is real and painful, Will, just as @makennagrace 's reality is real and beautiful. They both exist. She is merely telling her truth💖, even as you are💔

You are both your own Universe.

HUGS for you, Will. I've been praying for you since the day I first met you. That means I think of you, and wish I could make it better. I know it may not mean anything to you- but it means something to me.

That makes no sense and sounds like Solipsistic Bullshittery.

The reality is, nobody has ever liked me. Nobody ever will. That's just how it is. Everything I've ever done will always be used against me and nothing will ever get better

Who knows, maybe they'll troll me into an early suicide?

She attempts to say she cares and tries to humanize with me to get me to show vulnerability, and I rebuff it. I exist as Suffering and Nothing Good Has Ever Happened.
