Hi. I wanted to take a moment to reach out and let you know that I am currently experiencing a bit of burnout from writing. It might sound like I’m making excuses, but the truth is, I struggle with OCD. This often leads me to compulsively edit my stories over and over again, and no matter how hard I try, I cannot seem to stop.
I know it must be frustrating that I’ve published and unpublished my stories multiple times already, and for that, I deeply apologize. I’ve really tried to keep them accessible, even re-uploading them upon request. However, I’ve grown increasingly aware of their potentially toxic themes, and I won’t make any excuses. I wrote them when I was younger and less experienced, with a limited perspective on life.
When I first joined Wattpad, I simply wanted to write stories I enjoyed without thinking too deeply or consciously and without expecting much. Now, I’ve been working hard to edit these stories to make them at least worth reading, but it’s an incredibly challenging process that takes a lot of time and energy. I also have a habit of wanting to write different stories all at once, often getting stuck in a cycle of editing and jumping from one story to another. Many of them are already plotted, planned, and even written, but again, I can’t seem to stop myself from constantly revising. I’m working on overcoming this problem, and I appreciate your patience while I do so.
Please know that this is not goodbye, just a brief pause. I promise to return with renewed energy and fresh ideas as soon as I can. I’m committed to continuing and finishing all my eighty-plus stories here on Wattpad—hehe. And if I re-upload them and they still seem toxic or problematic, please know that I truly tried my best.
Thank you for sticking with me. I hope you’ve had a wonderful 2024 and that 2025 will be even better.
All the love, as always,
Maggie Tearjerky
