So, I need to address something that’s been on my mind for quite a while.
First of all I want to talk about why I haven’t been active.
Since I had a patch where people would regularly read my stories and enjoy them, I sort of pushed myself too hard to come up with these “fantastic” stories that everyone would love; this is where the problem began.
I started to become more attached to the numbers and the “popularity” of my stories, instead of the quality and the enjoyment for both for me and the readers.
But, I really do miss writing. I miss being able to see a story or come up with a plot line for something and just get on with it instead of thinking “is this going to be successful?”
As well as this, I also created a “fan” Instagram account which I also got massively caught up into and also gained the addiction to numbers, likes, followers etc.
Though, some of you may be aware that I now no longer use that account.
I have learnt that, in any situation, numbers don’t make you happy.
Popularity is like a drug, it is disgusting and toxic.
But,
Now learning this and seeing the problem; I want to work on it.
I am going to be taking down all of my work, except for “Pinkish” since it was my first story which is completed and though it isn’t “popular” and doesn’t have as many votes or reads of any other of my stories, it was one that I enjoyed making, one where I connected with readers.
I am working towards hopefully making better, consistent and worthy content for you, that I will enjoy writing and we can connect through.
Thank you for taking the time to read this and thank you for your patience.
Love you all - Lily
