          Hey guys! For my book, The Gem, I do have a writing schedule planned out. Since I've been prone to writer's block, I plan on releasing a chapter every 2 months for right now. With that being said, I'm already creating chapter 4.

my book is When Two Worlds Collide btw

hi...you asked for c4c...I'm in if you are

          Hey everyone! I'm sorry for the many announcements. I've been getting more active with books. I already mentioned it, but I released an official book called "The Gem" that is a fantasy and "coming-of-age" story. I just published Chapter 3 yesterday and already working on Chapter 4. 
          I keep getting bots (unfortunately), so if anyone is into my genre, please read the story!

Hey everyone! I just published an ACTUAL book called "The Gem." It is a fantasy book and a "coming of age" book. I've been trying to write it for years, but I always don't like the writing. This time, the writing was inspired by "The Great Gatsby."
          Chapter 1 & 2 are published and I'm currently working on Chapter 3. I would REALLY love to gain some readers for this and feedback. I really want to get this project done.

          I hope you guys enjoy!

Hey everyone! Them book I published isn't really a chapter book. It's a book that combines my own personal experiences, such as entries, random rants, and I might even post my art and music. The first chapter mentions depression, so if it's too much, skip past the TW I put in the entry. 
          I remember a while back, people didn't like rants to be posted on conversation boards and I'm assuming that's still the rule of thumb. I don't want to take away from genuine writers, so I am making a random book for those darker themes. It'd be great to get readers; my goal is to find more friends and teens like me, but I understand if that isn't your thing. I DO plan on writing short stories or my books... though college is wiping my motivation.

Hey guys! I normally don't ask for much help on books, but I'm stuck. 
          I've stopped writing books because I lost motivation. I really don't think I'm that good and because I keep improving my writing continuously, I feel like my writing is cheesey.
          I want to go back to writing and actually dedicated myself to finishing it! I have some stories that I believe I published, such as "We are Scavengers." I'm unsure if I have others, but that's the one I want to rewrite.
          Could any of you guys give feedback on one or all of the chapters published? I believe I only have 3 chapters done. 
          
          Also, pretty soon I will be publishing a book called "My College Essays" and it's chapters for each essay I wrote for WRIT 1110 & WRIT 1120. I would love to get feedback on those as well if you can :D

So, I usually don’t discuss my own opinions of Wattpad because I used to a lot in the past. To be honest, is it just me, or do I kind of wish they brought back PM? Don’t get me wrong, it feels like a breath of fresh air to not have to hear of so many reporting books about people anymore or have that kind of drama on here. However, it’s been roughly 2 years… and I don’t like how I can’t even see my old PMs with people. It’s actually very saddening. I feel like this is a Wattpad AND user issue because…. I remember that there were SO many bullies and it was ultimately why they shut down PM, but then again, why can’t Wattpad ACTUALLY keep the kids on here safe? 
          
          I deeply miss PM because I no longer have people I can talk to you because I forgot about them and even though old Wattpad was… dramatic, I was a young teen back then. If PMs were to be unlocked again, I feel like I would be able to handle it better. It just sucks that I will never encounter old followers again and I’ll never be able to PM someone about their books or how they’re doing. I know you can do that with DMs, but it’s really not the same anymore. I always feel sad coming on here because it doesn’t FEEL like Wattpad. 
          
          This actually correlates to another app. It’s called Flat.io and it’s supposed to be a music software, but it’s constantly used for drama posts and such. I feel like it’s MY fault with all of this because I was one of those kids that was depressed and constantly needed SOMEONE to care about me, so I posted a lot of rant books and scores. In fact, on Flat.io, people say that I ultimately “started to rant posting.” So, I feel like all of this is my fault. 
          
          Sorry for the rant! 

Hello! I hope you guys can see this, but I have more good news. 
          Basically, I received 26K in scholarships, so my tuition is completely covered, and I received a music scholarship worth 5K, which is their maximum amount. 
          I’m very happy because I didn’t expect that much and now I get to participate in early teaching. I’m on track to become certified in Spanish, which is crazy because this is only my 2nd year of learning Spanish. I just need one more class. I really want to try mandarin, Italian, or French next since being an educator that can speak multiple languages can make my salary higher AND be better for a job. 
          Finally, this is a personal journey, but I’m the journey of losing weight. Now, admittedly, I’m not as strict with my diet, but instead, I’m trying to focus on exercising and limiting sugar. So, I’ve switched to zero sugar Coke and I DID eat a cookie today, but I plan on going to the gym tomorrow and taking a longer walk today. This is good because I’m able to walk up stairs without being completely deflated and walking is actually enjoyable now.
