THE CALLING has been unpublished for two years cause it's going through a lot of revisions and I'm doing research to strengthen certain things I wanted to do but executed poorly. It has been taking me so long to get through all this research. I really want to post/publish the story now, but I get so hostile about people reading my work, particularly when it's unpolished. It's cause I see how some of you move online, and it makes me uncomfortable. You treat Wattpad like it's the same thing as traditionally published books, and it doesn't help Wattpad is trying to treat itself that way. Some people don't have the money or resources to invest in better editing and consulting the way traditionally published authors do. They have agents who look out for them. We don't.

It's very weird how I stop reading stories I enjoy, and it seems like I don't like them, but I do. I loved them when I read them. I lose concentration and develop a weird apathy I can't control. Screen reading device is, maybe, the only way I can truly read cause it helps me focus my thoughts as I'm reading, but even then, I'm having trouble concentrating. I recently stopped watching so many TV shows. I was using that as a form of entertainment until I could work out why I couldn't read. It started getting harder to watch TV shows after 2020 (without a consistent place to watch shows). At this point, I'm only watching Black Lightning, The Flash, (maybe) All American, (maybe) Nancy Drew, (maybe) new series KUNG FU, DC's Stargirl, and lastly new series THE REPUBLIC OF SARAH. These all air on The CW, and I watch them cause I know the network allows you to stream free on their website the next day. That's the only reason why I watch them, and can I say it's even hard to watch that? I've been struggling to catch up with ND and AA. I don't know what's going on with me. I'm sorry guys. 
          
          If I ever read your book and abruptly stopped and DNI in days, weeks, months, years to come, just know it wasn't that your story was bad or I didn't like it. It's cause I'm fighting with my brain and completing any type of book is incredibly difficult for me. Please don't feel bad.

I'm currently restructuring NETWORKED as some unfortunate events happened, but I want to hope that I can have this full story posted on Wattpad (raw, draft, unedited). I am hoping that because if that's done it gives me more incentive to edit it to perfection. If the draft is not done, it's hard to complete it.

oh something else that's somewhat a spoiler but some context on nina's story is that the isolation she goes through doesnt get explained. you'll find out nina comes from a family of rootworkers. white people have found ways to demonize and ban Black people from understanding and using the earth. nina's particular family isnt just down with the roots either tho. that's all ill say bc that scene might feel confusing to some of y'all if you dont know history.
