Hey everyone, I've been quiet for a while, I know. I've been so busy lately, but hopefully next week I'll be able to post more consistently and catch up with your stories too. 
          	
          	That's all I've gotta say...

Yesss, I'm back people! I just completed the sequel to my book series, I feel pretty good about that. 
          
          Anyway, I'm back on Wattpad, I will be posting more chapters of The Realm Next Door, and will be catching up on all your stories, I missed reading them. 
          
          How are you all doing? Hope everyone's ok.

Ouch, I just read through the old stories I once posted on here when I first joined Wattpad...they're cringey asf. I can't believe I actually had the guts to post something like that but at the same time, I gained a lot of followers with them. But still, the grammar, the punctuation, the dialogue, the characters were sooo edgy, I mean, they were just extremely evil for no damn reason. I cringed so badly when one of my characters killed a defenseless kid and went on to genocide the whole damn store, like, really, what was the motive? Why? Just to show that they were evil? Come ooonnn...that's just lazy writing, I'm honestly disturbed with my old self, some teenagers really do write the evilest shit on this planet, yikes. I mean, at least adults know how to control the tone of their story without making it edgy.
          
          Everything was shambles, there was even a whole 20 page chapter of a sword fight scene, just slash slash, punch, kick, repeat, nothing else, no dialogue, no strategy, just the MC blitzing through the opposition one by one...how boring is that? Maybe in an anime it'd be cool, the tense music, the flashy effects and sounds, I get it, but not in a book. I'm glad I learned that lesson.
          
          I'm only remembered by my very first followers for my old stories, I'm sorry to those who had to read through that cringe. My new stories are 10000x better but haven't gotten as much attention as the old ones, not complaining though, it is what it is.
          
          I've really grown exponentially as a writer this year, it's crazy, talk about a glow-up. 2022 has been devastating year for me but this is definitly one good thing. I hope I continue to grow as a writer, maybe in real life too, haha.
          
          Does anyone else feel like that when you read through your old writing? Has your writing style changed much since you first started?

@DJW719 oh sometime last year, but only started uploading it earlier this year. I used to just write here and there, but always privately. A good friend encouraged me to start working on it more seriously and start uploading. Before I knew it, I ended up with this massive project on my hands  but it's been good fun ❤️

@Jeejeecheeks "Writing is like exercising". That's an interesting way to put it. It feels like that. How long ago did you start your story?

@DJW719 I still feel this! Even on some of my  first chapters for my current story (since I wrote them long ago)! But someone told me once that writing is like a exercising, your brain being the muscle lol. When you start, you're all achy and falling a part (at least that's how I am lol) but then the more you do it, the more that muscle develops. Weird comparison, but kind of makes sense. I love your writing style now. I only read one of your older stories and thought it was good too! ❤️

Hey guys, for those who are reading my new book, Realm Next door, I will be posting chapter 2 later today. I will post more frequently, it's just right now I'm busy with college, but you won't ever have to wait so long. 
          
          Thanks.

Hello, I just found your work. I am looking forward to it. Btw, do you have any social media that can be followed?

DJW719

@nanana_na13 Btw, I'm going to post more chapters today, I have about 6 chapters sitting in a draft.

@nanana_na13 Hey, thanks. Yeah, I have Instagram. My Instagram is djw1095. It's a new account so I haven't posted much yet, but I will post my books on there. What is yours? I will follow you too.

@m2ition I don't judge, trust me. I know that feeling. What do you write on, Wattpad? I write on Google docs, so it's easier to spot out grammar mistakes. Then I copy and paste it onto Wattpad. To my knowledge, Wattpad doesn't auto correct anything like grammar so it's pretty annoying to have to go back and edit chapters yourself.
