I think my problem with Project XS was that I focused it around Alex when I should have focused it around Ami. She has more of a connection to the story, for reasons I'll disclose when I rewrite the story
          	
          	Unfortunately, that means James doesn't get his story. For those of you who have seen the original story when it was posted, James Voxel had a less than PG entrance. I was skeptical about this introduction of James because it was not for all audiences. I aim my books at young teens, so if they shouldn't read it, then I shouldn't write it. Ideally, James is supposed to be the popular kid in Sunrise Highschool. I want him to keep this but also have a best friend relationship with the shy Alex, who is supposed to be completely ignored by James' crowds. Ami and Alex's dynamic is perfect the way it is, and the problem is that I just have an oc that floats to the side of the story. I don't know what to do to make this fit better. How can I improve on James?

One more fun fact before I fully begin my break:
          
          Project XS and Miracle Box are now connected through lore. I've really thought this out during the time I wasn't writing.
          
          PS: Sorry Noah. Unfortunately, your story about Rex will have to wait, but I'll make it even longer when I write it

Follow up: I'm sill alive... Just don't have a good environment to spark creation. I've decided to avoid becoming active in the G/T community. Whenever it seems peaceful, someone always comes in to ruin it. It's either a new member making the community weird, a known member admitting their true thoughts and becoming a villain, or some sort of trauma that suppresses my own because I had it easy. I bottle everything because I compare myself to others. I set expectations for myself that I am never able to reach.
          
          If I ever join a community, I will just linger there to look at art or read good stories. I don't need the drama
          
          And if I ever set another goal, I WILL keep up with it. If I make a promise, I intend to keep that promise as long as I live. So if I don't promise a story, you can expect it to be late to the due date, but it will still be in the works.
          
          I'm sorry to have disappointed all of my followers with previous hype of all my stories. I'm going through it. Maybe not as bad as you, but it's still there. I was told that this was a valid way to feel, but I resent it. One day, I will come back to writing, but today is the day I mark my hiatus. I haven't touched Wattpad since mid-2024. During that time,  my depression, anxiety, paranoia, and lack of confidence have been harassing me and it just doesn't stop. I wanted to build an empire with my stories, but that'll have to wait until I actually have the time and motivation (I'm completely dry of it). For now, goodbye Wattpad (account will remain because I do intend to return)
          
          When I come back, I hope to see all of you still in my follower list. Thank you for sticking with me through all of my failed promises, and I'm sorry.

Alright, I need to start revising my work because I can't be so proud of a story that doesn't reel me in. I'm currently revising chapter one. It'll be much clearer, less cringe, and feel more vibrant when I'm completely finished. Project XS will be taken off of my profile, as will everything else currently available to read. I will republish the stories I plan to write fully when I have completely revised them

@Xayle1422 currently reworking the story in my head. It'll be good

Motivation is fast bro. Idk how it keeps getting away from me. Sorry to those who keep looking forward to my next chapter. Depression and sadness are kicking my ass. The lack of reason to continue my stories is growing, but it doesn't mean I'm stopping. I will keep posting no matter how slow it is. Those of you who are patient, I thank

Give it a few weeks. Wattpad will see that they fucked up, dms will be back, and they'll send the most boring apology ever, but dms will return once they decide they wanna listen to their community and not fuck up their business. It'll happen

@Xayle1422 I don't even remember what I said, but I assume it was more ideas for the S on the belt

@Xayle1422 I sure hope so ... I feel bad because my inbox was left with 3 unread messages (that I suspect are from you) but by the time I went to check it, the inbox was no longer available ... now I'll never know what you said =(
