It's so funny to me now that I don't care about reads or votes (also I'm not publishing anything, I'm doing the exact opposite) and I see in my notifications people looking clearly desperate for them and seeing complaints that basically come down to - Wattpad is dead. 
          
          Oh I am so happy that I don't care about it anymore, it's much more freeing.
          
          Sweeties it's because Wattpad sucks and has nothing, no forums, no community group pages or even our own history of activity to bring people more easily together outside of books which I guess should be the main point how to let others meet other people because this is a writer and reader platform.
          
          Idk if anything has changed, I'm here like once a month for couple of minutes.

Alright guys just checking in - will anyone miss Unmasked secrets if I unpublished it and maybe after some time publish the complete revamped version? It's gonna take like 2 years or more because I have a job and a main project so I am just letting you know. 
          
          I have some ideas brewing but the story will take some time if I ever decide to come back here. If I do then I plan to publish the chapters when I have the full book written.
          
          I doubt anyone cares since this is pretty much dead account, but I am just doing this to be polite.

happy belated wattpad-versary !! 

Huh, how weird, my 7 year Wattpad anniversary is coming in three days.
          
          I love numbers with seven, so that's nice.

I've been thinking for writing this post for so long that I thought I had posted it.
          
          Hi everyone, Happy pride month to my fellow biromantics.
          
          Just wanted to check in to see if anything big has happened or maybe there have been improvements, but nope. 
          
          Anyways, I've been thinking of unpublishing ARASK because as I've been writing draft 2 I realised that honestly what professional writers say is true - your first draft should stay behind the scenes.
          
          And I know no one really reads it, but if I did that suddenly then it would kinda be a douche move, so I'm kinda just asking this out of politeness - would anyone actually miss that book? Punctuation wise, it kinda gets better in later chapters, but honestly, overall it's a punctuation nightmare. Also, there are issues elsewhere, but let's not get into that.
          
          I know some people who do not follow me and have added the book into their reading lists won't see this message, but from experience I know that just because someone adds a book into a reading list that doesn't mean they will actually read it.

Hey! I know this is really annoying but would you mind checking out my romance short story? It would mean to me a lot and it's okay if you don't want to. But if you do, then can you vote and comment too? Don't forget to add it in your library!

Also I'm mostly leaving Wattpad.
          
          I will come back to check on some story updates, but if you want to chat about your story, or maybe you want some character art then you can check out my Instagram and see the artists who I have commissioned. 
          
          They make incredible art and seeing your character come to life is pretty amazing.
          
          My Instagram is in my bio.
          
          Also another reason why I'm leaving is that I've out grown Wattpad. 
          
          Also I can't stand when I see toxic behavior and people romanticize it. It's disturbing. 

I'm not sure if I want to continue Unmasked secrets. The mommy issues radiating off the screen are immense and I don't like how I characterized Elene's mother. 
          
          On one hand I want to finish the story, but the more I think about it, the more uncomfortable I get since the recent revelation at therapy made me realize how much hate I had harboured.
          
          I thought if I finished the story then this emotion within me will quiet down, but every time I come back to the book...the feeling gets stronger. And I don't want that.
          
          Besides no one reads it so it's easier for me to just stop. 

Congrats to those who made it to the shortlist!
          
          My book didn't make it, but that's alright since I don't really care about Wattys that much anyways. I'm just happy for the books I've read that made it.
          
          Good luck!

I forgot I had plans for NaNoWriMo until today. 
          
          Well those I will have to abandon since my current life situation is...something. Busy.
