@giedzinski
Thank you all for the support over the past four years! Your comments, votes, and reads have been invaluable to me.
I'm now transitioning my works to my own website, giedzinski.com, so some things may start disappearing here on my Wattpad page. But fear not! All—or almost all—of what you've seen here will be available for reading there soon.
Hey Sam, I wanted to let you know that my story just hit 30,000 words, not much for you, but a huge accomplishment for me, thankyou for the vote early on, the views kept me writing!
New Year, new me! This is S. C. Giedzinski @giedzinski, formerly Vin @My-name-is-not-Vin. I'll be using my real name from now on. Feel free to message me with any questions, comments, or scathing rants about personal identity and Internet safety. And of course, happy New Year!
Where do you take inspiration from?
@HopeImNotCopywriting That's a very tough question. Even I'm not always sure where my inspiration comes from, but I think that's a good thing (usually, that at least means I'm not copying someone else's idea!). A couple parts of my stories (and one short story that I'll be posting on New Years Day) came directly from dreams that I had. Those are the most fun to write, I think. Deadly Angels and The Cloud Project were ideas that I bounced around for years, having long forgotten the sources of their initial concepts. It's like rolling a snowball: you can't go back and look at what's in the middle, but you get a cool, giant final product. Then there are weird bits of inspiration. For example, Through the Hotel Door is an adaptation of a dream that my stepdad told me he had (he gave me permission to write it). And the idea for the Human Hunters (antagonists) in Deadly Angels was offered by a friend of mine, @cleo333, who first used them in her short story, "Perfect?". So I guess that's technically fanfiction! I hope that answers your question, at least in part. :)
10K reads on Deadly Angels of New York City in just under two years! Thanks everyone!
Today marks exactly one year since I joined Wattpad! I can't believe how far I've come since then. I've gone from one big project to three, how crazy is that? I've gone from twelve total reads to 11,073, two votes to 739, and zero comments to 530.
It's been an awesome year. Thank you all for the tremendous support!
Keep reading, my friends.

Two of my stories are now in the top 500 list for Science Fiction :)
Hi, there! I love your bio; it's really witty and funny :) Happenky enough, I'm also a 10th grader/sophomore in America! But I don't cringe at the words "paragraph" and "grammar" lol!
@Mandygeez cool! I just use the Wattpad cover app for most of mine
@Mandygeez and thanks for adding "The Cloud" to your reading list!
