ATEEZ Imagines

REGARDING SLOW UPDATES

As you all know, I don't have an update schedule. It used to be every Wednesday, now it's whenever I get new chapters written, but they're always posted on a Wednesday. For those who follow my Instagram, on Sundays when I have an imagine done, I post a spoiler for it and announce the publish date.

I always say this and it's even in the book description, but PLEASE be patient. I know you guys wanna know how long it'll be until a new imagine is out, but I can't answer that. If I said I think I could get the next one done in a month and a month passes and it's not done, I'm gonna have people saying "Where is it?!" "It's (date) where's the new update?" and I reallyyyy don't want that 😅 it only puts stress on me.

Giving myself a deadline will stress me out and I'll push myself to write something I'm not proud of because I didn't give myself time. I used to force myself and I realized it was draining me, so I stopped. Writing is a hobby and I do it for free. If I push myself to please others, my hobby won't be fun anymore and I'll end up quitting. I don't want that and I'm sure you guys don't either.

It's been taking about 3 months, (sometimes longer) to get updates out, but keep in mind the last four have been 13,000- 16,000 words. That's a lot.
San's Night Swimming imagine (which is only 2,700 words) was posted just 3 weeks after Yeosang's deer hybrid imagine, which took 3 months. 3 weeks is much shorter than 3 months, and I was really proud of myself for it, but it feels like some people don't think that's good enough. I feel like every time I finally post something, especially if it's a long imagine, someone's asking for more. It's discouraging and makes me feel like my work isn't being appreciated or enjoyed because all anyone cares about is when I'll get the next one out 😭
If you guys want immersive stories that are well-written and detailed, then it'll take time. I cannot write a full imagine in a week.

I don't want to seem ungrateful, but when I'm treated this way, it bothers me. I have responsibilities outside of Wattpad and there are things that I need to focus on. I'm also rewriting my BTS imagines books and have two big paintings I'm actually getting paid for that I need to work on. And tbh sometimes I don't feel like writing and I just wanna watch YouTube or Instagram reels.

I know it doesn't seem like it because you guys aren't seeing what's going on behind the scenes, but I am writing! Some days it's only a sentence or a short paragraph, but I'm writing whenever I can/feel like it.

🔴 TL;DR/summary: I'm a person too! This is a hobby that I do for free. It's either I pace myself and work on my own time or I lose enjoyment for writing and end up quitting. Updates are always posted on a Wednesday. Which Wednesday? Idk. Whenever I get an imagine finished.

If you took the time to read this, thank you.
