I always lol a little whenever I come back here to see that Wattpad still has a 'community' tab

Is this place still a going concern?

I'm currently on 13 published short stories for '22 out here in the real world. I've even made a good chunk of beer money (I'm going to hazard a guess it's a darn site more than you'll earn on the 'Paid' program here and for a lot less effort).
Anyway. Here's one that's freely accessible.

Leaving here continues to be a positive experience for both my writing and mental well-being.

Leave this place. You wouldn't believe how quickly you can progress when you aren't being drained of energy and enthusiasm by this shit hole

Sure, wattpad kudos is good and all, but have you tried the rush of getting paid by lit mags?

Merry xmas, you filthy animals

Man, I'm having the hardest time writing a thing at the moment

@BriaOlive Take a little break, try something else. I find, walking, gardening or painting helps. While you're pulling weeds, etc your mind has time to turn ideas around and around in your head and before you know it you'll be overflowing with story lines.

...we finally make it to Foxhole Farm and meet Hen and Hector Whittaker

New chapter of skeleton up, and Charlie pisses about in the Astral Plane, or something. Sorry, my scenes are getting longer!

Urgh, just realised the last two chapters I put up were from an old, unedited draft. Excuse me while I fix that...
