Hello everyone,
Should I stop posting short stories for now and just focus on the ongoing ones?
I started posting them simply to stay connected with you all, even when I couldn’t update the longer stories. But I noticed there’s been less engagement lately.
I actually wrote those drafts while traveling, when I couldn’t log in to Wattpad. So the moment I had Wi-Fi, I shared them.
One short story, The Playlist, is already complete. Another, Velvet Whiplash vs Boss Man Supreme, is three chapters in, with more than half of the next parts already drafted.
I know my breaks have been longer than usual, and I understand if that makes readers lose interest. Life’s been demanding, but I’m doing my best to stay consistent and connected.
Quick update — things might stay a bit slow until late December. I have something important coming up that needs focus. For now, I’ll aim for about two updates a week: one for VW&BS and one for an ongoing story.
I’m also working on improving my personal and professional life, which is taking more energy than I expected.
To everyone who’s been with me since my first Peraya fanfic — thank you. Your support means more than I can say.
Every writer has their own process and rituals. Mine is to reread my stories through the lens of a reader, along with all your comments. The more you comment, the more connected and inspired I feel. It fuels my imagination, keeps me creative, and helps me through writer’s block.
A lovely reader once commented on The Playlist, suggesting Arthit should write a letter when he feels he’s tried everything else. That single comment changed the ending — because I had completely forgotten that Arthit could write a letter! It reminded me that your words really do shape these stories.
So let’s keep building these worlds together — one story, a few characters, and lots of comments at a time.
Yours,
Adi
P.S. Love yourself and keep growing.
