Hey, all!
I'm back from my hiatus waaaaay sooner than I thought I would be. I realized that Wattpad (AND writing) is a part of what helps my depression. Being a part of a community. Having an outlet to vent out my frustrations.
I have a few more works coming soon. Keep an eye out!
I'm still on hiatus but I needed to vent about this b*stard at work.
Here's the story:
A man was at my work (a movie theater) with his wife, I'm guessing. He was gesturing to me at her, like gesturing for her to ask me something. She kept glancing at him, I kept glancing at him, we were both very confused. He goes: "why do you keep looking at me? Are you gonna scan her?"
I had NO IDEA WHAT THE HELL SHE WAS DOING, B*STARD! She wasn't asking me anything, she wasn't showing me her ticket, she was just standing there. How the hell was I supposed to know what she needed? By reading her mind?? I'm a movie theater greeter, sir. NOT A MIND READER! YOU WANT ME TO SCAN HER TICKET?? TELL ME!
Anyway... the hiatus continues.
One more thing for my dear Dysarthrians!
An extra bonus chapter as just been added to Dysarthria! Gotta check this one out! Something big is happening for Cory and Gracie!
QUESTION:
Do any of you support using ChatGPT, not to write the whole chapter or to completely edit, but to ask for a little bit of help describing emotional / tense / action / sporty scenes? As long as you try very hard to use your own words?
If the answer's no, in my defense, sometimes, the creative side of the brain could use a little help!!
Also everything is like written in my own words, just needed guidance so it doesn't sound to vague or basic. It also takes forever to have other people to reviews. Most book reviews on here won't go past the first or second chapter when the rest is literally essential to the first few
@HappyEndingWriter Yes, I use Chatgpt for inspiration use, I needed to describe a usual werewolf transformation with a magical touch, and like specific things in general. Sometimes Chatgpt is my last resort for certain things if Google and Pinterest isn't giving me anything. I got blocked by an author on Instagram just for saying my opinion about getting help from Chatgpt
@HappyEndingWriter Not necessarily. Reading and seeing how others word their writing is a huge component of learning your own writing style, so using ChatGPT to get more examples for you to look at isn't wrong, as long as you're still writing the finished product yourself.
GOOOOOOD MOORRRRNING (OR EVENING), MYSTERY MANIACS!
A new mystery one-shot has just been posted titled, Dead But Lingering!
PS. You don't have to answer the poll at the bottom. I just wanted to try out that feature just in case it's no longer available by the time I return.
@AkornDefalko | I love receiving feedback! Good or bad. Thank you so much for your kind words!
@HappyEndingWriter Okay. I read it. Very well written, but couldn’t find a poll. (Wattpad hasn’t updated for me in a min, so that might be why.) You went through so many emotions and illustrated them so well. The characters were distinct (don’t know if you wanted feedback though lol)
@AkornDefalko | I don't have premium anymore either, but I do. But I'm also a beta tester so the updates for me come with new features like this. Maybe that's why? Try removing the collection of one-shots from your library (if you did add it there) and add it back. That sometimes works for me.
I HAVE RETURNED!
But only for the day. Just checking in on things. Don't know when I'll be back. The goal is in three more months, but I might come back sooner.
So many changes though. Like you can add polls to the end of your chapters?? Wow!
Hi, could you please reply to our question? You were tagged if you are wondering which question. Thank you.
Hi @HappyEndingWriter ❤️ I have received 3rd place in Teen Fiction for TBWAs. I'm having trouble accessing the book though. Could u clarify the prize process? Do I have to contact anyone else? Thanks!
I lied! The Christmas one-shot that I said wouldn't be out for another week is already out! I was on a writing roll today and I just couldn't stop myself!
It's also a pretty long one so I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it!

Now that the awards are over, I’ll be taking another hiatus for, I don’t know how long, but it may be a while.
The awards was a big stress and my brain needs a break from writing one-shots every day. I have one more coming out — another CHRISTMAS ONE! — which will be out in maybe a week or so. I feel like it’s time for another hiatus. Rest my brain, focus my life on other things and, who knows, maybe I’ll have tons of inspiration for more one-shots.
In the meantime, I have to focus on my mental health. But I’ll miss you all!
