The Rose Code : My Wattpad Blog

D: December 22, 2020 TTFN

This is the last post for my Wattpad blog. To be honest, Wattpad isn't fun anymore, and I'm too tired to put effort into writing here or anywhere, especially since maybe only five people read my posts. I had so much anticipation in the beginning because there was potential for greatness, but reality has kicked me in the head and I realize now I will never be a Wattpad star or a published author anywhere. And that's okay. I wanted to write a book and I did. I can cross that item off my bucket list.

It's okay that writing is just a hobby for me. I don't have the ambition to write all the time as published authors must do. I'll write when I want to, when it's fun, or I'm journaling my thoughts. And even though having an audience for my words has been awesome, it isn't necessary.

I've made some incredible friends on Wattpad that I'll never forgot, so I won't regret the time I spent here thinking I'd build a fan base for my writing. I've learned that not many teens want to read sweet, contemporary fiction, at least not the way I write it. I still intend to finish my edits for Forever Remember by May 15, 2021, on Jasmine's birthday. Then I will finally mark the story complete!

I intend to go through my reading lists and remove any stories that aren't complete. I will only add completed stories in the future. And I won't be doing anymore read for reads. I've started three lately and the participants barely lasted ten chapters. My story is over thirty. I need comments and votes in my later chapters the most. So if you read this and you haven't voted or commented in my later chapters of Forever Remember, I'd be eternally grateful if you did.

I had planned on starting a book review book on Wattpad in 2021. But now, I don't know if I have the energy to do it. And would anyone read it? Is it worth all the work if only three people see it?

I have over 700 followers on Wattpad and that number mocks me, because only like five people respond to my messages and posts. You know who you are. I love and appreciate you so much for your support.

I am disappointed that being a writer isn't in my future, because I still have no idea what I want to be when I grow up. Any suggestions?

I hope you all have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Stay safe and well!
