Hey guys.
Hoping you are all doing well. This isn’t great news but bear with me; I understand that I haven’t updated any of my books and I haven’t done much on here. The main reason being is that i no longer have the time or ability to do so. I haven’t written anything in months, my computer is untouched, and everyday I try to write I lose focus, energy, or I’m too busy with something else. I don’t know if it’s because I feel like it won’t matter, or that the world is changing so much that I don’t have the ability to make this dream a reality, but it struck harder that I thought. And TWBB has not been able to receive any publications due to the lack of action/adventure agents out there and perhaps how heavy hitting / sensitive the book concept itself is. I’ve tried everything, including outside publishers and companies, but I’ve now hit rock bottom physically and emotionally because nobody wants it, and if I self publish I won’t be able to advertise for it. And for some reason they only want people who have social media followings, which sucks so much.
I don’t know the next time I’ll be able to update anything on here, which really hurts my heart more than you know. I really want to keep going but this was going to happen sooner than later and I really want to do well in my dream job. At least I was aware of it in due time.
I’ll still be here and present from time to time, but don’t expect any new books or book updates in a long time. I won’t be able to enter any wattys or competitions in the long run either. My head will be driven into the study books for the next few years, and I have to put 100% of my attention on being able to survive this and fly.
So this will be an inactive account, but I will still be here if anything happens or needs me. But again, I’m so sorry for breaking this but it was inevitable. I hope to see you all out there one day, whether by book or by plane.
Peace :)

@EkemWrites (hugs) I feel your struggle. The whole drive to be popular on social media first, then maybe write something is just... terrible. I am now on Inkitt and enjoy it so much more than Wattpad.

I finished Ripper a little bit ago, which dinosaur themed book do suggest I read next? (Im a total dino nerd—)
EkemWrites
@Olive_the_w0lf sorry for my lateness, Hybrids is a pretty good one to get into next. My others aren’t the greatest and aren’t finished

Hello EkemWrites, I’m sorry about your complications experienced in June, I’m sorry it didn’t work out, but I wanted to ask you something. I am rewriting my poorly written story in hopes of making it readable, enjoyable, and meaningful, and I was wondering if you would like to help me with that. From what I read in your last post, it seemed you couldn’t write anything, and if you do choose to help me I’m not asking you to write, but instead assist in how I write and how the book shapes up, I already have a partial plan so it won’t start from scratch. I also saw on your post that you said you had to focus 100% on living, and I understand that; I was just wondering if, since it was 2 months ago now, you were doing a bit better. It seemed you wanted to write, or make stories, so if you’d like to help me, this could be an opportunity for you to write a little, and if you do decide to help, I’ll make sure everyone knows about the contribution you made to it.
Of course, I’m okay with it if it’s a no and I understand if it’s a no, I was just wondering.
I hope you have a good rest of your day!

@EkemWrites alright, understandable, i hope things get better for you moving forward. have a great rest of your day!

Hi @EmeryE2 I’m sorry I didn’t respond to this. Things haven’t gotten any better timewise, I’m still more busy than before with little time to enjoy myself, so I’m unable to help at the moment. But I appreciate the send :)

Hey, EkemWrites, may I use your idea of Wars of the Wilted and change it slightly? I love your idea of giant insects, and I kind of wanted to go into a different direction, such as the domestication of the insects. I'm not actually ever going to write my own book about it, but I'd just like your permission before I start expanding my own view on it, even if I don't go public with it.
EkemWrites
You may, I am also working on the book so if you do plan to go public just credit me for the bug idea. Otherwise it’s a yeah

Hello! I just wanted to bring this to your attention. There is a website (teenfic.net) that is stealing yours and many other Wattpad authors books. I originally went to that web to see if any of my own books were there, when I found Ripper posted on there. I don’t believe you posted it there and that it was stolen from you. Some of your other works may have been illegally stolen as well.
EkemWrites
So I’m aware of it, but there’s nothing I can really do about it because it’s an IP based in a country that legalizes copyright infringement. It’s been like that since I started ripper, and teenfic won’t be taken down no matter how many times you urge Wattpad to do so. It’s just not possible, so I’ve accepted it at this point.
