There have been people asking me why I haven't updated daily like I used to.

First of all, it is my fault and I do apologise for it. I still won't update daily for the following reasons:

1) I'm a normal human being with a life outside Wattpad. Not to mention, I'm still a student who will be taking major exams and needs to study. I also am a Head of Athletes for sports and need to attend practice to show a good example.

2) Updating daily takes some times and is stressful. Why? Because sometimes I just don't know which celebrities you guys would wanna know about. Also, some celebrities don't share enough information to the world for me to write about. I mean, do you really want me to write about where they were born and their age? That aint really interesting facts, you know.

3) I don't want Celebrity Facts to end anytime soon. If I keep up at my previous rate, which is updating daily, this book will end really quick. I mean, who wants to read a book with over, for example, 250 chapters? That's ridiculous.

That being said, Elsie20stylist and anyone else who was wondering why I didn't update daily nowadays, I hope you understand my reasons and support my decisions.

Thank you.
