Happy Silksong Day!!!! Don't know how many people here play video games or Hollow Knight for that matter. But this is pretty much the only platform I'm on and been waiting for this game for years so I had to share the celebrations somewhere. If any of you do play games, what's some of your fav?

@PaperPumpkin2 I don't know much about caring for horses either to be honest. Just random facts! Like how they can have both sugar and salt cubes, with water and in moderation.

Alright, it's been almost an entire year since i was regularly on Wattpad. Not proud of that. Things happen in life, and Wattpad kept getting shoved to the side. But I don't want to keep doing that, so from now on I'm scheduling Wattpad back into my life. I'm back, baby! Be warned though, for those of you I've been reading your stories, I've got quite the backlog of reading to do, so it might be awhile before I get to yours, but I'm actively working towards it.

@FrozenJars Hey! Glad to see you're still around. And yeah, if not in the right headspace, Wattpad seems to be one of the first things to fall to the wayside for me ^^' But I think that's why I need to try harder with it. Hope things go well on you're end too.

Hello! Just checking in to see if you're doing ok? I don't normally reach out to people online (which I should really fix that habit), but I understand it's getting more and more daunting to go online nowadays. I hope you're doing alright.

@House_Sparrow all the bad media was made to be sure catching and attention catching. Nearly the entirety of social media itself is a brain rot but there are some good things. May all those good and hopeful contents find you.

@House_Sparrow It's strangely addicting watching media that's bad for your mental health, isn't it? I've fallen down that rabbit hole a couple times these past few months. Thanks for the advice, truthfully just chatting is helpful.

@House_Sparrow understandable!  your job must mean your eyes are always on the screen and that sounds very tiring. I've been consuming a lot of bad media too and it's affecting my productivity. 
            I wish I had some comforting words that i knew would help but i can only tell you what I try to tell myself:
            Take your time, rest well. Do what makes you feel better and not what people want you to do. By the time you do feel refreshed enough to read ebooks again, which I hope is when you are absolutely feeling motivated and have freetime, there will be lots of new chapters ready for you! :)

@SoloSangre Sorrrrryyyy for taking so long to respond, I haven't been very active  these past few weeks ^_^'
          
          I love your story and the plot and Dr. Robin is such a great villain. DARF would make such an amazing tv show that I want so freakin bad >-<
          
          As far as critiques, I'd say the biggest issue is how many POVs you have and how short the chapters are. It can give the reader whiplash and be confusing at times on where we are in terms of scene and action.
          
          I wouldn't suggest cutting out characters, cause I enjoy them all =) You could write more to make the scenes longer, but honestly a much easier solution would be reorganizing the chapters so that they read a bit more cohesively and have the scene complete a thought.
          
          Ex: Lux finds Corvus after he's been shot, she has an idea. Then we suddenly jump to Javier, then to Dr. Robin, then finally back to Corvus for Lux to tell him to turn into a crow.
          
          Instead you could have Lux finds Corvus, then immediately have Corvus being told to turn into a crow, then have Javier and Dr. Robin pov. This allows the reader to fully invest in such an important scene before jumping to a different POV. You could also move Javier POV to before Lux finds Corvus. He is coming to grips with killing Corvus and, at the time, the reader thinks Javier did kill him.
          
          Hopefully this makes sense and was somewhat helpful =)
          
          Also if you're worried about the lack of views/votes just know that's got nothing to do with the quality of your story. I've read books on Wattpad that are good enough to be published and I'm literally the only one reading it.  And the views on my book, well, that's from other writers who I've been reading their stories

How do you make ur covers? I'm new to writing and I have no idea how to make good covers

PaperPumpkin2

@123123Shahad123123 Your story the Forgotten Ones cover looks great tho, it's the whole reason why I clicked on it
            
            I drew the my cover on clip studio paint tho I bet you could get something great with AI too.  As for tips, I tried making the image simple, clean, but dramatic. I kept the colors basic too so it wouldn't be distracting (also cause I suck at coloring ^^') Oh, one tip someone gave me was making the first letter of each word bigger than the rest. So the letter F in forgotten and the O in ones are bigger.

Hello! I hope this isn't too weird but I noticed you haven't been active lately and wanted to check and see if you were alright.

PaperPumpkin2

@House_Sparrow Nah, it ain't weird. It's actually really sweet :) Don't worry though, I'm good. I like to disconnect from the internet every now and then just to sort of reset and keep my mental health in check. Thanks for checking up though. It means a lot.
