Hi ,
          
          I hope you’re doing well! I’m an aspiring writer and I’ve just published the first chapter of my novel, Love comes after death, on Wattpad. As I’m just starting out, I would be incredibly grateful for any advice or tips you could share on writing, especially when it comes to creating a strong opening or developing engaging characters.
          
          Thank you so much for your time, and for being such an inspiration to writers like me!

I don’t know how many people have seen, but a lot of Wattpad Ambassador run profiles are no longer affiliated with Wattpad and have been reworked or otherwise deleted. Wattpad Dark Fantasy, Tales of the Deep, Stories Undiscovered, as well as several others have been reworked, while profiles such as YA, Urban Fantasy, Dangerous Love, and Horns and Halos seem to have been deleted entirely. 
          
          My story My Parasite was heavily dependent on prompts from the now cancelled Shadow Trials. Seeing as there was only one month left, I hope to write my own ending to the story in the coming months (probably after ONC). I’m also interested in potentially adding more chapters to make it a longer story in the future.
          
          What are your thoughts on these changes?

@CirinaSea  I have noticed the changes but I have no idea why they are happening.

@StephanieProchaska I’ve seen some people speculate that profiles with less traffic end up becoming unaffiliated, while others think Wattpad might be doing a huge overhaul. I really don’t know what to think :|

@AnnamitaMuscaria Yeah, I was surprised about that one and Stories Undiscovered.

Does anyone else have brain fog specifically when writing stories? I can write this post just fine. I can message friends just fine. But writing stories? Everything goes blurry in my head and I can’t think of how words are supposed to form sentences. It’s so bad that when I read my stuff back I have no memory of writing what I wrote outside of plot points. It feels like I’m writing blind. Does anyone else have this?

@MasterofMad_ness As someone who doesn’t speak any other languages, I’m sorry to tell you that probably isn’t it :(

Yeah i get this too...I thought it was because I'm studying French and Spanish for my degree and I was hoping it was a sign of proficiency in those but I'm not sure anymore ahaha

Any of you ever get a little too invested in your writing to the point where you almost put yourself in crazy scenarios for science?  Legit almost just asked my fiancé to drag me across the room at high speed so I could describe the feeling.

Just published the first chapter of my ONC entry, Sorry, Your Quest Cannot Be Completed! I think I'll only be entering one story this year since I still have The Shadow Trials and my Ethereal rewrite to write :') 
          
          Here's a link to my entry! https://www.wattpad.com/story/362047915-sorry-your-quest-cannot-be-completed-onc-2024
          
          In the year 2032, the first AI-assisted RPG was released, allowing players for the first time to freely interact with NPCs so long as the AI could keep up with their requests. It's not long before a glitch is discovered allowing immortal NPCs to die. 
          
          Celine discovers that her world is not quite what she thought it was. Her "Gods" are a mere system that has predetermined the fate of everyone she knows - except for one person. This sole person must be the key to her world. But will he have a reason to stick around once his quest is complete? 
          
          "Well, then, I'll just make sure his quest can't be completed."
