Hi all.
I just wanted to let you know that I will be removing Dominance from Wattpad. I have been stewing on this for a while. But honestly I don't feel that my work is not safe being published online.
There was an incident with someone I thought I could trust. And now.. I feel like every time I post something I could be stripped bare. If I can't trust a close friend, how can I trust random strangers on the internet, the whole of internet-land, to not screw me over? I'd already unpublished some of my work, only leaving the stuff that is linked to contests and such, because I believe the more I reveal in my stories, the more exposed and vulnerable I feel.
I am crushed and heartbroken.
I have not been able to write confidently since the incident.
I am traumatised.
This is not the end for Dominance. But every time I try to write I feel overwhelmingly rotten. So instead, I'm considering going down a different route.
Because... I don't think I'm able to get over what happened. It sucks. But hey, if that's what other writers are like in the field anyway, then... no thanks.
To the few true writer left out there – the ones that actually have a writers soul: protect your work.
Don't let others rape your imagination and steal your words. The stories coming from your heart are not for anyone else to tell. Be creative and believe in yourself always.
