@TheMoonDamsel
Happy birthday, Nini.✨
Thank you for being my comfort, for always making me laugh, and for helping me see that even big problems can be handled one small step at a time. You’ve been my strength, my motivation, and my reminder to stay happy and keep going, no matter what.
I hope you stay just as happy as you make the rest of us and receive everything your heart dreams of. I love you so much.❤️
I've been very obsessed with writing historical and high-school stories lately, but I’ve already got like 15 story ideas sitting in my drafts, staring at me like the middle children. And I barely have time to write the two stories I’m already juggling. At this point, they’re just piling up like dust gathered, tragic little archive of chaos. I wish there were five versions of me so we could crank out five stories a day but sadly, reality said “lol, no.”
Mourning my draft graveyard dramatically. TT
@Jillybean61085 I get that completely. I admire that kind of dedication.it takes real patience to work that way!
@TheMoonDamsel I understand! I'm the type of person that has to make myself focus on one thing, I'm a bit of a perfectionist, so I have to over analyze everything, otherwise the ending result just disappoints me
@Jillybean61085 You’re right, it’s the only smart and responsible option, and I really should do that. But sometimes when I’m writing a new story, the urge to just upload it gets sooo strong. Like the excitement takes over and my brain goes, ‘post it now, they need to see this!’ It gets a little overwhelming because it feels so good to write.
granny??
Hey, I just wanted to let you know to backup your stories. Apparently, a bunch of non shippers are going around mass reporting stories that ship, and wattpad is deleting the stories that get reported!
@TheMoonDamsel Exactly, or if wattpad actually investigated instead of just deleting a story because it got reported.This whole site is littered with ship stories, not just BTS, it has actors, singers, and character names that are being used to write stories, so it's crazy to me that wattpad doesn't have a better system in place to handle these situations. I've talked to authors, and their stories have been reported for things that weren't even in the story, so wattpad needs to do better when it comes to protecting their authors, because the authors are primarily why the site exists!
@Jillybean61085 I get what you mean. It’s really discouraging to see people’s work taken down after they’ve put so much time and heart into it. I try not to assume bad intentions, but the whole situation is definitely frustrating for everyone involved. I just wish reporting was used more thoughtfully so creators wouldn’t have to worry so much.
@TheMoonDamsel Na man, those jerks that are going around reporting people are what worry me. It's ridiculous that they think it's okay to just disrupt and ruin someone's hard work! Like how much of an asshole do you have to be to meddle in something that has nothing to do with them and isn't harming celebrities in any way. It's very odd to me!
Hey guys! I just wanted to drop in and say something important.
Please remember that it’s okay to slow down. You don’t have to keep up with everything all the time. Sometimes the bravest thing you can do is pause. Step back once and take a breath. Give yourself credit for everything you’ve been carrying and everything you’ve survived. You deserve rest just as much as you deserve growth.
Don’t be too hard on yourselves. Cut yourself some slack, take things at your own pace, and remember that taking care of yourself is not selfish. It’s necessary.
And just so you know... I’m really, really proud of you.❤️
OH hey! So, I recently decided to start suggesting stories once a week for my followers. I tried tagging you in the post on my conversation board, and it wouldn't let me, but I wanted to make sure if you were alright with it. I added my own little description, so if you could check it and let me know if you're okay with me suggesting your work, I'd greatly appreciate it! Love you, thank you!
@Jillybean61085 Oh my gosh, yes!! thank you so much for sharing it with your followers. You’re the sweetest! ❤️
Usually, I don’t mind when people post on my message board, since it’s not something I can completely control. However, it’s starting to get a bit frustrating when it doesn’t stop there and continues onto my stories as well.
I understand the desire to have your work seen and appreciated. It’s something we all want. But it’s also important to consider how it might affect others. If you’re apologizing for spamming, it would mean more if you also tried not to repeat it.
That being said, I truly hope your work receives the recognition it deserves. Sorry if this came off a bit blunt, I just wanted to share how I feel.
Have a good day.
@Jillybean61085 Haha, fair enough! Take your time, there's no rush. The story isn't going anywhere. ( ◜‿◝ )♡
Alright, here I go... I had to build myself up to read the rest after you told me the next chapter may be hard. So wish me luck !
@TheMoonDamsel Ugh I'm trying, I haven't brought myself to do it yet :'( I might have to wait for a day that I can read the last few altogether. This story has already been an emotional roller-coaster, so I think I'll need to get it over with in one day!
I can’t believe I actually wrote a 20k monster chapter and completely forgot about it because I was so caught up in today’s concert. How am I supposed to edit all that now? It’ll probably take me four to five hours. Someone, please send help! TT
