Wattpad actually did it. They deleted ALL messages. I’ve had messages that date back over 7 years saying how they like my writing, and how they’re waiting for my books to be paperback. I used them as motivation when I was sad or have writer’s  block.  It’s also sad that wattpad just isn’t for small time writers anymore. They have a paid membership, I have to watch ads while reading over my OWN works, and they’re just becoming a publishing company at this point. It’s always a sad day when a nice little app / company sells out.

As a writer myself, watching Wattpad become what it is today broke my heart. I can still remember opening the app and getting messages saying “help keep Wattpad ad free! Donate to help us out!” Now like you said, I can’t even open up my own story without getting flooded with ads. It can often become a buggy mess trying to work between a computer and on the app on the phone. I can still remember the day I opened the app and got my first ad. I was SO mad. And I’ve felt pushed out of a place that used to be my safe haven because like you said, it’s not for small time writers anymore. It’s all big time and no one takes you seriously if you’re not sponsored or something. So frustrating

Writing dates with my soon to be fiancé is literal therapy. He has a journal he writes down all my book ideas in and goes over different ones with me. We also beta read each others stuff. Ugh I’m gonna explode with love for this man

Hello everyone! I wanted to post a little message for someone. A reader a few weeks ago sent me fanart on my instagram and it was in my DM requests for a while. I've not been in a good mental state but now that I'm healing and getting better I really wanted to see it but I fear the reader may have gotten self conscious and deleted the message because it is no longer available. If this is you please resend it! I would absolutely love to see what you drew for the story. If anyone has a friend or knows who may have sent it, please tell them to resend it :) Thanks guys.

@FlockOfBullets I sent it again, but in case insta doesn’t want you to see it, I just realized it’s my profile background, so if it doesn’t work, you can get a little wiew there

Truth or dare becoming a real book update for those asking: 
          Hello! Yes I’m still here. I am currently still writing truth or dare, I want it to be perfect. The characters are changing and so is a few story points. Here are some things I’ve changed so far:
          
          - Gerard ‘s name is now Roman 
          - I’m making the sex scenes less pornographic. Since this is a YA novel I’m saving the spicy stuff for another book I’m writing. 
          - They’ll be in college, not high school
          - I’m omitting the stupid fucking PA announcer moment cause it makes me violently cringe when I read over it
          -I’m making the stakes much higher if he fails the dare
          
          There’s much more but those are the basics. I’m also writing like 2 other books at the same time so it’s taking a hot minute. Thanks to everyone asking for updates on it, it means a lot!! And I was thinking, if I made a discord for book discussions for you guys to suggest things you wanna see differently in the book, would you join? I’d post updates and things like that as well. Just let me know!

Wouldn’t be opposed to the idea of discord server, also I think Roman really suits
