Author's Note Regarding Inactivity

Hello! I don't usually do "Authors note" chapters and the like, but I do feel it might be necessary here.

I'm sure many people have noticed that the book hasn't been updated since June. It's December rn. The last time I worked on a new chapter was October, and even then, I didn't really get much done.

In all honesty, I'm stuck on where to continue this. I do plan on actually getting to the work shifts (hopefully) next chapter or so, though. I feel pretty bad because every time I open the site, I see people adding this book to their lists and voting on chapters (I had to resist the urge to say, "giving kudos", been using a lot of AO3 lately).

The only time I really write anything is for "lore"-esque stuff that really only me and one friend knows about. However, even that doesn't give me that creative spark that it once did.

Hopefully now that I'm finally done with school for the time being and I'm not stressing about midterms I can get working and have a new chapter out soon.

But for right now, I'm putting the book on a temporary hiatus. This Author's note is also temporary, and I plan to delete it once I am back to posting every 1-2 months or so.

Sorry for not giving updates on one of the few male!reader phone guy fics for half a year, lmao.

Ok so while I was writing this, I ended up getting a phone for christmas, so hopefully the hiatus isnt as long as it originally would've been. Will still be on hiatus though. I'll try to have AT LEAST 5 chapters pre-written before I decide whether or not I'm back in my groove writing-wise and I can comfortably take the book off hiatus.

UPDATE. 9/17/2024

hi again. its been almost two full years since i gave a genuine update on this story.

so what the hell even happened?

all honesty? i dont use wattpad anymore. to add onto that, my writing's changed drastically since 2021, and i want to try to rewrite the whole story.

will that actually happen? lets be for real, probably not. i dont have the same passion for writing that i used to anymore, i havent had the passion for anything lately. all ive been doing is working, cleaning, and doing college.

im gonna go into a small ramble, so feel free to skip this next paragraph if you just genuinely dont care. i get it.
but lately, i havent had the passion for anything. i used to spend days on end hunched over my kitchen table drawing my heart out, but i cant do that anymore. it doesnt feel the same. i used to spend all nighters playing minecraft, roblox, COD, or fortnite with friends, but i dont have anybody to help keep that spark going anymore. I used to spend time in my high school classes writing because i felt like i couldnt focus without it, but now? i havent touched wattpad, ao3, or any other writing site in years now. last time i wrote a fanfic, it was for my senior english class, and i didnt even have the passion i thought i would.

long story short, dont have your hopes too high here.

i love phone guy just as i always have. hes always been and always will be one of my favorite characters, even if hes just a fanon rendition.

maybe ill write up a general plan for how this story will go. thats always been my biggest mistake with writing - i go in blind. i dont do any planning, and it shows.

hopefully i can soon give you guys a story that phone guy lovers deserve. especially male or masculine presenting fans of him, theres still a huge lack of things for us guys.

but for right now? i need to recover, for lack of a better word. i dont know how long thatll be, and i dont know if ill ever touch this story again.

but lets hope for the best.

until next time,
Alex.
