🌿 Wattpad now sends you a message if you're book hasn't been updated in a while. It's nothing to fear and it doesn't threaten to take it down. However, it does subtly say it will ghost-block it (meaning it'll stop being shown as a recommendation).
🌿 If discontinued, mark it as completed or delete it to make your profile cleaner. Even leave it on a cliffhanger so it's completed for people but has the potential to be continued.
🌿 Markgraphics books as completed if you're not regularly adding chapters.

🌻 The Wattpad algorithm pushes and recommends books that are updated regularly and you'll get more readers by doing so. This doesn't apply to finished books that are marked that way.
🌻 If you know you'll be away for a bit, post the author's note to keep it in circulation.
🌻 If you'll experiencing writer's block, let people know. There's no shame in it!

🦋 A rough updating schedule could help you. They don't always work but they can give you some encouragement.
