Hello!! I just wanted to come on here and say a couple things since I’ve been fairly inactive recently.
I appreciate the eagerness to read more of my work, and reaching out once or twice to get insight on updates is fine, but hounding me three, four, or even five times asking questions I’ve already answered, in my opinion, is inconsiderate. This is not a callout toward anyone specific. I’ve had countless people do this. I know no one means harm, but it gets to a point where curiosity becomes harassment.
I don’t mean to come off as rude or entitled with this. I get that I have a lot of books, and, therefore, different types of readers. I am usually writing all the time, but this doesn’t always mean I finish a chapter. Sometimes, I only manage a few paragraphs, but this is good in my book because I’m at least achieving something. When people start to repetitively question an author’s schedule, it can take a hit at their motivation.
I love that so many people appreciate my work, but I’m human. My mood changes, my work ethic shifts, and life happens. Currently, I have two jobs, one full time and one part time. I write whenever I can, but I’m not going to strain myself. Unfortunately, wattpad isn’t a job. I don’t make any money off this, and I don’t particularly desire to. This is a hobby and passion I commit to when I’m able.
That being said, I appreciate everyone’s patience waiting for updates, and I thank everyone who follows me and dedicates their time to reading my work. Hopefully, I’ll have a more uniform updating schedule soon, but my life is pretty unpredictable right now. I’m working on writing acts in bigger chunks so that I can post consistently for a couple weeks and then take a break for a few weeks, but we’ll see if this actually works out. That last thing I want to do is make promises I can’t keep.
Thank you to any and all who have read this, and, everyone, have a great rest of the day!! :)
