Hi guys, as you can see, I've republished all of my stories and successfully avoided being identified. However, that's not the only reason I'm messaging you guys.
Over the course of the year, I have really enjoyed writing and publishing these stories. But at the moment, I don't feel entranced, or engaged in my stories. As summer nears, I want to spend more time with my friends and family, rather than stay cooped up in my room as I did for majority of the school year. I haven't made a concrete decision, but I may not update Jealous anymore. I first made this account to publish stories for myself, and I want to keep this in mind. However, I am more immersed in the Wattpad world than when I first joined and I would hate to leave a story unfinished. So maybe one day, when I'm feeling inspired, I'll continue it. The one shots will be updated on occasion. As for the short stories book, I will mark it as completed.
Next, I want to say that I will NOT stop writing, only stop writing my current stories as of now. I realize that this is a sort of perseverance issue, but I also realize that writing stories should be enjoyable and perseverance shouldn't even be in the picture. My tentative plan is to start a new story that centers around a collection of scenes and a plot that follows something I feel more closely connected to. Sadly, this story will most likely not be a figure skater story for a couple reasons. I don't want to disrespect skaters and the plot simply won't work will Yuzuru (or any of my favorite skaters). Right now I'm not sure who the story will center around, it may be OC or a celebrity (sorry don't kill me).
And lastly, I'm really sorry about all of this. I thought when summer came it would be easier to update but I want to write for myself and not anyone else. Writing should be a hobby, not an assignment.
I hope you can understand why I'm making these choices.
