Hi, I don't normally go around and comment on people's profiles but your art is really good and really cool. And sorry for the spam. But your art really deserves to have more people looking at it.
          Awesome job!

@sunsets_at_midnight Thanks very much. Don't apologize for the spam; always a pleasant surprise! I'm working to improve and am quite self-critical, so it's nice to hear feedback. Thank you again, and keep on arting.

Rant time.
          Whoever you are, your Wattpad stories are not books. They simply aren't. Would you like me to back up my statement? No? Well, I'm going to anyway...
          
          book n.
          1. a handwritten or printed work of fiction or nonfiction, usually on sheets of paper fastened or bound together within covers.
          2. a division of a literary work, especially one of the larger divisions.
          
          The above definition does not apply to anything posted here, on Wattpad. Be it a short story, poetry, or ridiculously long fanfiction, it is not a book. What you have here, dear readers, are stories. Stories are narratives, either true or fictitious, in prose or verse. Stories are designed to interest, amuse, or instruct the reader.
          Now, is that not more applicable than the term 'book'?
          In conclusion, Wattpad is an informal method of placing your writings (works) into a select public (the Wattpad readers). Basically, Facebook for writing. Infamous comment section and all.
          So please, for my sanity, refrain from calling your works, books.

          Hello, fellow humans.
          As you might have noticed, I have not been updating my story, The Adventures of Arwen Reid. I apologize for that. Obviously, the quality of my writing will improve as I mature. It is doing so now. Unfortunately, the story will be staying like that for some time. More extensive planning and character development is required for me to continue. For now, carry on with your lives.
          Thank you for your patience, 
          Figbar
