Hello,
First and foremost, I want to apologize for taking down Afraid. At first, it was an impulsive decision but in the end it turned out to be for the best. I started composing it during quarantine of last year when the pandemic started, but since then a lot has changed. I am going to be honest: I have outgrown fan-fiction; my spark died out, and I am not sure if it will ever light up again. I never want to put out something that my heart is never 100% into—that’s not the kind of person I am. As much as Afraid was fun while it lasted, I have ultimately decided to try and go into a different direction with my writing. I don’t know if I will ever republish it as is because it bothers me that it’s unfinished (but perhaps I’ll come around to it someday, but no promises).
Secondly, I wanted to personally use this space to thank you all for your positive comments & concern. I have had a knack for creating since I was in elementary school. Creating alternate realities to my own, through literature, where I get to live vicariously through another lens...through another perspective of characters that do not exist in the physical world. As I’ve grown older, my relationship with writing has always fluctuated. I go through spouts of never picking up a pen for months to working all day until the early hours of the night on potential ideas. In the midst of quarantine, I picked it back up & found myself using it as my escape. I never thought I would receive so much love for something I consider my most secret hobby. Yes; Wattpad is surely my biggest secret—for that, you all hold a special place in my heart. All in all, I have been on this app for God knows how long, so I am hoping we can continue to grow together and share our passions for reading, writing, creating, supporting, & escaping.
Thank you. And I hope you understand.
With love unconditionally,
J
(Sorry if this was kind of all over the place)
