Hello everyone! I know I haven't been very active community-wise lately. I didn't even announce Dirty Little Secret is now a complete story: hooray!! Life's just been very busy...
I'm going on vacation to Japan for the next three weeks so I won't be on Wattpad at all! When I come back, I'll start editing and promoting Dirty Little Secret, as well as getting back to reading y'alls wonderful stories!
Thank you so much for your support!

Congratulations! I understand how bittersweet it is but it’s an incredible achievement
ChromeDok
Grrrrrr I hate writing the last chapters of a book :')

@ChromeDok Me too! Writing the final chapter of Heists at the moment. Just really hoping everything ties up.

I've been busy lately with work + writing the last few chapters of DLS, so I haven't read as much (online at least)
Right now I'm focused on keeping up with my ongoing current reads. But fear not, I'll soon start new stories

That feeling when you upload fluff and are so excited for your readers, then go back to writing conflict 10 chapters ahead
ChromeDok
@petalandsnowink definitely not weird! :) the fluff feels more earned when it's faught for. doesn't make it any easier to write the conflict, though :')
petalandsnowink
@ChromeDok But the conflict makes the fluff extra fluffy later! Sometimes after I read the conflict and angst, I go back and read the fluff and the butterflies are like 10x stronger! Makes my heart ache over the conflict twice as hard, too. Maybe I'm a weirdo though!

I'm at a crossroads plotwise, and it's annoyingly hard to choose which path to follow: the one I had in my mind since I started writing the story, or the one the characters are forcing me to follow
Of course the right answer is clear. It still hurts to throw in the trash an idea I had in the back of my mind for years lol Maybe I'll write a short story/AU thingy when the main story is done

@ChromeDok regardless of your choice in the end, what I've learned is it always works out for the best. So don't put pressure on yourself too much!
ChromeDok
@BashfulHeretic definitely! I do a gross outlining on my notes, then wing it for the most of it, but sometimes it's impossible to go as planned
