Hey, everybody! Happy New Year! I have a couple of announcements to make:
First of all, I recently had a serious conversation with somebody close to me about why I publish my stories on Wattpad when my goal is to become a traditionally published author someday. I've been thinking about that conversation, and really the only reason I've done so is because I am impatient to get my story done and get readers, even though I know I should really be taking my time to make it the best I possibly can before sharing it with the world. We also discussed the possibility of somebody coming across my ideas, claiming them as their own, and presenting them to a publisher before I get the chance to. Call it paranoia, but I would really feel like an idiot if that happened, so I will no longer be publishing original stories on Wattpad and will probably end up unpublishing Amnesia at some point. I want to apologize to the readers who've started Amnesia--you guys have been amazing, and I am truly grateful for the feedback you've given me, and I'm so sorry for any disappointment I've caused. It was nothing against you guys.
On another note, I will also be taking a break from Wattpad in general. I'm not sure how long I'll be gone for, but I have been extremely unhappy with my life for some time now and need to take some time to figure some things out as I go into the new year. I may or may not pop in from time to time, especially if somebody PMs me (I'll still get notifications on my phone), but I will not be doing any reading or writing on Wattpad for a while.
I wish you all the best as we head into 2019, and my love and prayers go with you. Thank you to everybody on here for your kindness since I've joined. You guys are amazing.
Love,
Nikki <3
