I am going to stop writing my book Sea of Trees on Wattpad for the time being. This is why;
1. I honestly think the format on Wattpad is terrible for writing books. I think that there are many huge problems with writing a book and having people read it chapter by chapter. Keeping people's attention when I'm quite busy and can't release chapters every day is tough, especially when you are trying to set up characters and plot lines and stuff. I don't feel like I should just throw random characters into a random world for random reasons, just to get to the interesting part quicker. I need to set it up and it's tough just slowly reading the setups waiting for the actual story to start. I completely understand losing interest. Now that I'm writing on it, I honestly think Wattpad has a very bad setup. Literally ask any professional book editor if having people read your chapters as they come out is a good idea and they will laugh in your face.
2. I have been getting criticism about stuff that the people reading don't understand yet because its only on chapter 6. I appreciate the criticism, don't get me wrong lol I asked for it, but it gets a little annoying when you get the same questions by everyone about things that normally, if you read on you would understand but can't because of the way Wattpad is set up :/
3. There has been copy write problems with other websites trying to steal books from Wattpad and my book has become victim to it. I don't appreciate this and would prefer it not happen.
I have been thinking about doing this for a while and point 3 really just pushed it over the edge for me.
Obviously I'm not done with the book, only Wattpad for now. We will see what happens but for now, I most likely will finish the book then upload it fully to Wattpad once it is complete. Thanks for reading guys but I will be taking my leave for a while.
