Emma G. Deloff

Short and sweet message for everyone:
          
          After countless busy hours with college, my job, editing, and my own writing, I've come to the conclusion that because my Wattpad presence has been severely lacking, it's time for me to shut it down and move on.
          
          I likely won't delete my account, but I'll be taking down my published work because I simply don't have the time for it. As my education pursues and my courses become more rigorous, I'll have even less time for the things I NEED to do (like school and work).
          
          I very much appreciate your support in my writing, and I sincerely apologize for this news, but I figured it's better for me to step away and start on something new.
          
          It was great to share my work with you. Keep writing, everyone. :)

I know I've been super quiet lately, but all for good reason! I've been working on something BIG.
          
          Everyone, I'd like to introduce you to my new website; meet 9 Line Editing!
          
          If you need an editor that won't break your bank, I'd be happy to help! Just know that my website is still in the works and I definitely need to work out the kinks (ESPECIALLY the forms)!
          
          Here it is! ♥♥♥

Hey, all! Not really here for any big news, but just wanted to say that I've made a LOT of updates on Words of Interest. Perhaps a little bit of background, eh?
          
          I'm in a Creative Writing course and, obviously, we do a lot of creative writing! I usually tend to stick with fictional pieces unless my teacher tells me otherwise, but sometimes I like to branch out and try new things—not all the time, but sometimes.
          
          Words of Interest was updated 12 times today—wow! I went through and tried to find some miscellaneous excerpts I created for the class and decided to upload them all today (I'm having a creative flow and wanted to share them with you guys). The reason there are so many Creative Writing Prompt Assignments is because my teacher has us do these daily things called notebook assignments. In these notebook assignments are daily prompts; some fictional writing, some nonfictional writing, and some questionnaires. Well, I wanted to share some of these assignments with you guys to show you the simpler projects I do and not just the major stories!
          
          Anyway, I just thought it'd be a really cool and simple idea; almost like an electric writing journal. See you next time! ♥♥♥

Hey, guys. I'm sorry to say that I've come across some very unfortunate and disheartening news.
          
          First off, I've most definitely been making progress on my latest project through some struggle, but that's okay! Progress is progress! :)
          
          Anyway, now for the news:
          
          I've recently learned that if you post final drafts of your works here on Wattpad, legitimate publishers won't want to publish your books because they've technically been published online already. I wish I'd know this sooner, so take note if you want your book to be legit!
          
          Because I want a future for my books and wish to have them published at some point, I will unfortunately be taking my works down officially. I don't know how many of you actually read and LIKE my projects, but I must say that I'm very regretful that I have to do this. Luckily, my current works aren't final drafts—I'm SO lucky to have found this information as early as I did. If I hadn't, I would've been S.O.L.!
          
          For those of you who do enjoy my work, I'm so very sorry that it has to come to this. I promise, though, that my latest and biggest W.I.P. yet WILL be professionally published! You heard it—a REAL publishing company will be publishing my book when the time is ready.
          
          I promise to keep making updates on my work, but Wattpad will now likely be an advertising motive for my stories when they're all said and done. Again, no words can truly express how badly I wished I could find another way out. But, for the safety and the promise of success for my projects, it has to be done.
          
          Keep writing, everybody. Happy late Holidays and have a great New Year! Don't give up on your craft! ♥♥♥

Hey, guys. This isn’t a normal announcement of mine. It’s more so a... shout-out, I guess? I’m actually looking for someone who recognized me from this game I play, called Animal Jam. My name on there is Fictionfrenzy11, like on here, and they came up to ask if it was really me. They proceeded to tell me that they were a huge fan, and I must say that I was all smiles and happy. Well, since then, the user hasn’t been online the game and I was never told their Wattpad username, so now I’m seeking them through here, assuming it wasn’t a troll and they know me from here.
          
          To the Animal Jam user mybear201—I hope you’re holding up well, and it made me happy that you recognized me on a separate platform than here. It would make me super happy if you saw this and reached out to me because I love talking with people, and especially fans! If you do see this, send me a message if you’d like and I’ll be more than happy to start a conversation with you (hopefully much more)! I’m glad to have met you. ^^

Hey, guys. It's been a hot minute since I've last been on, eh?
          
          I want to apologize for being dead silent the past couple of weeks. Things at home have only gotten more crazy, and with everything NEW going on lately, I've been all wrapped up in all sorts of projects. I am also in an ENORMOUS creative block and haven't been able to put any words down in about two to four weeks. For that, I am deeply sorry.
          
          I would like to announce that I will not be continuing Love Bleeds' second book due to a lack of inspiration to the story and bad writing. I was once passionate about it, but I began writing it a couple of years ago when I STARTED writing, and we all know how that feels. I'm not going to throw it away, but it, unfortunately, is being abandoned until further notice. I may likely use it as an inspiration for Valldir and the Inquisition, as my ideas for it have seemed to parallel quite often, so expect to see it removed from my profile. I apologize. :(
          
          As for the new project—I haven't really made much progress in writing it. As said before, my creative block is attacking me at full force. I'm going to try to crank out a few paragraphs after this announcement so I can finally finish the chapter I'm on, but I can't promise myself anything (I cri). I'm actually trying to find someone to make me a cover for it, too. The one who made covers for Valldir and FBTC makes beautiful pieces but is already stressing enough over school, so I'm broadening my efforts so I can get it as soon as possible (mainly for myself so it inspires me to finish the story).
          
          I hope you all can forgive me for not meeting expectations. It is but isn't my fault, but I totally understand either side of it. I should be doing better, but my willpower is... nonexistent. I appreciate all of you for being so patient, and I hope that this new story makes up for all of the lost time.
          
          Stay safe, everyone. It's crazy out there. Until next time. ♥♥♥

First off, I'd like to sincerely apologize for the language used in my last post. I had no intention of offending anyone if I did. I was all too excited about the new story that I completely forgot to put a disclaimer. No one has come to me about it, but I just saw the warning. You all have my sincerest apologies.
          
          Second, I just want to express my excitement that I have a beta reader for the new project now! I have decided that I'd allow my good friend to read the fully-revisioned chapters for his input, advice, and any comments and/or questions he may have so the story is easier to understand in general. I really hope you guys will enjoy it when it's out, and I hope some of you will at least consider buying it on Amazon when it's published. I'm already enjoying writing it and it would mean the world to me if buying a physical copy were an option (I don't believe I'd even make a profit off of it for a while yet, so that's nothing to worry about), but if not, it'll be up here for you guys to partake (pro-tip: I'll be honest; physical copies of books are 100x better than online. Nothing beats flipping a page and tapping your fingers on the cover). Happy reading, and have splendid days! <3<3

So, recently I’ve decided to start yet another story. I just finished the prologue today and this is what my writer friend said: “That is fucking amazing, Emma. Like seriously. I could picture that as a professionally published novel. One I could hold in my hands.” I don’t mean to brag, but hOLY HELL that made me feel good. I spent so long trying to make it sound professional, just reading paragraph by paragraph over and over again until it sounded just right. I was squealing.
          
          I know some of you may be curious as to when it’ll be coming out on here, but I have some news; I will NOT be publishing it on Wattpad until it is fully finished, revised, and published as a physical book on Amazon. I will make an announcement when that happens, but it won’t be for a long time yet. Let me tell you guys, though, I’m pretty excited for this. 
          
          Stay tuned for more chapters for the works that are already here, though! I know it’s been late, but things have been crazy here at home. Stay safe and wash ya hands!! <3

Thank you FictionFrenzy for voting on my story.  Wishing you a good day!
