I'm back with maybe the weirdest story I've ever written, but this time it's not just a story. It's a graphic novel! Introducing: ACTUALS, a grisly tale of a lone creature wandering a seemingly abandoned earth.

Every Friday I'll post a new scene/part like I used to. This project will be ambitious and difficult to pull off, but I like challenging myself with new formats and mediums. Please feel free to let me know what you think!

Thank you all for reading JIVIKA. As all things must, unfortunately it will have to come down in a week or two. It’s time to truly edit this book and start thinking about making it something more permanent. It will reappear, I promise, fully edited and ready to be read in a form that I was unable to present it as in my early years of writing.
I would still say: it’s the only book I ever wrote that changed me to the core. It shaped me as a writer and I wept after almost every chapter. It made me question what makes happiness so impossible and possible at the same time.
If you’re still reading it, you can let me know and I’ll try and postpone unpublishing it, but I can’t promise a long period because my window of editing and planning these days is very narrow.
As for writing, I can’t do it yet. I’m still swamped with school and work. I have started reading some ONC entries though and it’s been great to reconnect with people. I am back on here as a reader if not a writer. If you have something you want me to check out, feel free to let me know. After nearly getting through the hardest semester of my life, I finally do have moments of downtime, so I figured I might as well use them to catch up with Wattpad buddies!

@frayrays hey thank you so much! I will definitely bring it back eventually. I’m probably going back to posting poetry this summer here on WP, or maybe some comic stuff. I look forward to reading more of your work too. :)

@gideoneaston Very Happy New Year to you as well and all of your family! I have been honored to participate with Wez in all of these endeavors which are brilliant and truly amazing in ways that only the future will reveal to be very indeed...amazing! Have a great night! WW!

@gideoneaston No I only contacted you here, Wez just wanted me to let you know about a computer bug that may have taken her devices offline. I have since spoken to her and she has been able to speak to me on discord. At the time the devices had been down about 3 days and Wez just wanted me to let you know. There is still a situation with the devices but it's being figured out. You're more than welcome to delete this message, but I did want to let you know(◍•ᴗ•◍) for her.

I simply don’t have time to update ANIMALS anymore. I’m sorry. I tried to hold on for as long as I could. I’m currently starting graduate school and the workload is immense. I will reply to comments on existing chapters little by little, but as for updating, I’m going to have to put everything on hold. I’ll stay in touch with everyone, read whenever I can, and write on the side for the future. Then when I come back, I have some stories to share that I believe are my strongest yet, but I want to allow myself time to really put my all into them before they’re live, so please bear with me as I take this time off first.
Much love to you all. I’ll be back soonish.

@gideoneaston - Wishing you luck in your studies at graduate school. Put your writing on hold, it won't go away, nor your followers! Hope you enjoy your work and are able to do really well in your future exams.

@frayrays Thank you, my friend. I will definitely still be writing. And I look forward to reading more of your work as well!

Does anyone know: How do I stop these weird 2-follower bot accounts from following me? I block 1 and 3 new ones show up. I don’t want my follower list to be polluted by these accounts. Just today I see at least 3 new ones in my notifications and it’s annoying to have to keep manually blocking them only for there to be like 3 new ones the next day.

@CitizenSamurai Oh awesome, thanks for this info. I'll see what I can do. Sometimes when Wattpad does maintenance they seem to glitch out and unlink mutual genuine followers, so I worry about them taking action sometimes if the action is too sweeping, but usually they are good about keeping things clean for the most part.
gideoneaston
@CottonJones Wow, so minus 4k. I see somehow I'm not following you. I could have sword I was. I'll follow you now. Good to know they're working on it. I'd rather have a quarter of the follower count I have now than a million bots.
CitizenSamurai
@gideoneaston Hi Gideon - I'm getting those, too. I have created a text file with the simple details that I can report to Wattpad to show them that the account is spam; I point out that the account has no written works / no genuine discussions. It's a drag, but I figure we're helping keep the community a little cleaner. Having a text file to copy and paste makes it easier to report without a lot of effort.

I think I'll continue posting on Fridays as usual, though it might be more toward the afternoon from now on (around 12-3 PM PT). Also, I am working on a new poetry collection that will hopefully be out within the next couple months. ✨
