How has A Second Life hit 100k reads? 
          	
          	
          	I am reeling. I'm going to go cry, be confused because that fic is absolute CHAOS and cry some more. 
          	
          	Thank you all.

Anyone else being heartbroken over the amount of fics on wattpad that are so evidently chat gpt? Like the sound ai, they have all the tells of ai and its just so sad because the plot is so definitely a humans but someones gone and decided to cut things short and make it easy using AI and it just hurts so bad.
          
          
          I may update once every blue moon, but at least every word is mine. Badly written, professionally written, it all comes from me. What is the point in creating - in writing - if the words aren't yours? That isn't art, that isn't writing... that feels fake and hollow and ahhhh AI should not be used for leisure writing!!!!!!!!! 
          
          Essays, i kinda understand. Like you know what, fair enough.
          
          But fics? informal writing? Novels? Things that are meant to embody the essence of the creativity the writer oozes??? It just sorta breaks my heart.

@_serendipities I agree. The point of writing is to express yourself and share your ideas, no matter how badly you're doing it. Using ai just ruins the entire point...

@_serendipities Yeah! I may not have the right type of creativity to come up with intricate names and certain details in storytelling, but I try! Every word written is out of my head, phrased and created by ME. And while I may have some parts inspired from the internet, I just need some help, like everyone else.

Checked my books for the first time in a while and realised that the last real updates I posted regularly were last Jan and even then that was after a long while of me not posting... 
          
          life jas changed SO MUCH from then and I am not the same writer I was when I started writing my fics and I think thats what makes it so difficult for me to continue. there are so many authors who I love who have stopped writing and now are rewriting their fics and I think I finally understand why, because it sort of comes to a point where it becomes so difficult to write because you just aren't that person anymore as an author. My tone, my vocabulary, my perspective, my writing style they've all matured but the writing remains a reflection of who I was years ago. 
          
          I think thats both tragic and annoying.
          
          I will try and update. I've gotten so many messages and a lot of support recently and over the months and I really do want to update. But I can't make any promises... I'm different to who I was and it will reflect in my writing. It takes me a lot longer to release chapters becaise going back and reconnecting all the dots and refreshing my memory of my own fic takes timeeeee.
          
          Anyways, completelt unrelated, but opening this app every now and again and then looking at announcements of people beefing each other makes me laugh so hard... reminds me of back in the prime days of wattpad hehe XD

LIFE UPDATE BECAUSE I RANDOMLY DISAPPEAR WITH NO EXPLANATION-
          
          - I had a boyfriend, we broke up
          - I feel lighter than I have in months and finally writing feels fun again
          - I HAVE EXAMS SOON BUTTTT
          I WILL RELEASE CHAPTERS FOR BOTH BOOK WITHIN THE NEXT COUPLE DAYS
          
          New school year started, and its my final year. Today is the first day I find myself actually looking forward to it XD
          
          moral of the story: don't be in suffocating relationships and convince urself you were happy because there were a ton of good moments. sometimes a lil liberation is all you need. (yes it hurt but damn i feel like im floating. i loved him and he loved me but it wasn't enough - and that's ok)
          
          anywaysssss i love you all
