Idk why but I feel like today I wanna share an incident that happened with me around 3 years ago. More like the day I felt so humiliated. Just saying..
So, there was an author who had like 1k+ followers and also had books over 200k reads. I was at that time a silent reader, although my books were already published back then. Back to the story, I read one of his/her books and it was really interesting but sadly ended without proper ending. I was desperate to read further yk that kind of feeling right? So I texted the author asking if there'll be any 2nd part. The author declared NO. I kind of felt really disappointed and managed to communicate with the person on other social media apps and convinced to write part 2. Somehow in my mind, I had a better story ending as the 2nd part and I offered that person if I could write a satisfying ending of that book. The author agreed and gave me permission. I was so stupid to do that yk! Why the hell I couldn’t take a story as a story and involved myself!
So, those who follow me know I quit writing suddenly for some reason. Fuckhead me started writing the second part, on behalf of the actual author. It took me 1 month to finish it, editing and stuff. I was so freaking excited and shared it with that person. And hesitantly I just asked to give some credit in the bio of the book. Yk what he/she did? Uploaded the book, one by one chapter in some days. Nope, no credit, Nothing. Not even A thank you, you know. Each day I thought maybe my name would be mentioned in the last chapter but no.
I felt so ashamed and stupid, I didn’t even reach for that person ever again to ask for it. It was a heartbreaking incident for me bcz yk I took a hiatus from my own story writings! Yet I freaking wasted my time for other's work and didn’t get even an appreciation.
It was a secret I kept inside of me for years, today I felt like sharing it with u. No, I'm never gonna expose that person, bcz it was my own stupidity to do that.
