Play Me | ✓

Unpublished: Explanation

I don't know what to say. I really have no words to explain the ache in my heart and how I can hardly even type this out because my eyes are blurry with tears.

Ivy has given me so much. She has taught me so fucking much and she will always be a part of me. But when I come back to this account, when I back to what she wrote, I don't recognize her anymore. I don't recognize my work as my own anymore and it doesn't feel right for me to keep something around that isn't helping my growth.

I thought making a new account might help me move on from writer's block and it did for a while, but not anymore. I'm taking a break from writing and deleting Wattpad off of my phone. I'm going to try to focus on something else in life and try to fix thing's elsewhere, so that when I get back to writing, I can commit and focus and actually be happy doing that. There's way too much going on in my friendships, family relationships, relationships and school for me to focus on writing.

SO, for now, this is me saying that I will no longer be active on Wattpad at all.

BIAU has been a struggle for me to comprehend since a year after it was finished. I wrote it when I was fifteen and going back to it makes me cringe. The writing style, the plot holes, the lack of details everything but the plot is something I am not content with.

Play Me has its flaws, but I spent a greater time perfecting the characters and plot making sure I didn't rush and mess up the final overview. I can proudly say that I can reread Play Me and not hate myself for writing it.

That all being said, both my stories are loved by my readers in different ways. I have no right to take these away from you guys, because I know my stories have helped many people. But, since I am no longer wanting to stay active on this account, it makes it quite difficult for me to not come back on here and reply to you guys or check the stats on my books or my account.

I don't want to leave you guys hanging, so I've decided to transfer the rights to my books over to one of my close friends who will publish these books on her Wattpad account. She will edit them as she deems fit. I will try to read the edits and chapters through before she publishes them, but I highly doubt that I will be involved any further in the writing process with her because I trust her to keep my stories true to how I made them. She will be publishing three books from my account: Play Me and The Art of Letting Go.

The covers will hold my pen name and her name: Ivy Knight & Amora Next.
