𝘔𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳 [Wendigo x Reader]

Discontinued

I've decided that I'm going to discontinue this book. It's a shame, honestly, that this book reached a lot of support and we hit over a thousand reads on Ao3 but I have to come out and say it.

Everything I got was beautiful. The supportive comments, the likes, and the engagement. I was even planning on doing a special chapter for the 1000 reads hit. And it all came crashing down.

The reason why I'm done with this book is.. because I lost my spirit. I lost the spirit, love, and motivation I once had for this book. I still remember the feeling of joy I had when I started writing this, how I couldn't wait for when I hit the epilogue chapter.

There's a reason for my lack of love for this project.

I've made a mistake. I've made a mistake that I should've fixed the moment I started writing this book. It was the mistake of me.. not plotting my book.

Plotting a book means when you write everything that happens in it from start to finish. It means you know what hints to add to your writing for the eventual ending and who lives and who dies. I didn't do that. I knew the concept of plotting but I simply didn't do that. And it was a mistake as now I don't know what to do with the book anymore. I didn't even know how I would end the book, and still don't. I thought that because so many Fanfiction Authors have done this in the past, and their books turned out somewhat good, I didn't have to do that to mine. It was my first ever professional book, and it was bound to turn out bad either way so what was the point of putting so much effort? I regret that, I regret I didn't go to that extent. Now I don't know what to do anymore. I have this horror mystery begging to my book that was supposed to be a cute romance but it seems like it isn't.

My school is also another problem. Now that I'm starting school again after my summer break, I wouldn't have had so much time to write weekly updates as I would need to focus on my studies too.

There are other things I could do:
A) Continue writing the book how I intended even though the entire thriller setup, in the beginning, won't be present.
B) Continue writing the book with a new type of spin to it without all that much fluffy romance. It's not something that'll make me overall happy but it'll make the book better.
C) Rewrite the first couple of chapters to fit the romance genre better.
D) Actually plot the book so it turns out good.
E) Start all over again with the project

F) Don't. Just don't, don't do any of the things and just give up.. and I think I'm going to just that.

I'm not interested in writing this book anymore. Why would I bother writing it if it doesn't make me happy like it once used to? Don't get me wrong, I still love Monster romances and will continue to read them but.. this isn't necessarily for me.

I am still going to continue writing books despite this but I will fix my mistake before doing so. Maybe in a couple of years when I've probably already finished writing a properly plotted book, I'll pick up writing on this one.

Lesson learned: Before ever starting to write a book that isn't a one-shot, always plot it. No, that doesn't mean "Oh, I know what I will add and stuff, I know what chapters, characters, and what their relationships will be," No. Actually get on Google Docs and write everything that'll happen in the chapters. Every chapter from one to fifty and every character that will be introduced and their role. If you don't know what to write down, there are multiple videos and articles you can find explaining this in a better way. Don't be like me...

I had a vision, but I didn't put it in words beforehand and I regret that...

Thank you to everyone for this long journey of support. Thank you to Lolbear01 on Wattpad for being such a good friend and an even better mom. I love everyone here and especially you reading this right now. Goodbye.

...

You will probably see me in a couple of months, years, after this with a new book. But in that future time... I will come back more prepared than ever.
