Hello,
— i had to rewrite all this because wattpad wanted to delete it so i wrote it in google docs smh —
I have decided that I want to quit this account. During the past year, I was proud of some work I have created, yet there was always this doubt, or maybe even sadness that came with my books. I was never really happy with the progress I made and have always wanted to create something more, and I feel that way with pretty much everything I do. Maybe I am just very hard on myself, but when I want to do something I enjoy because it’s fun and it’s a way for me to escape, and I can’t do that because I feel as though it is not a hobby but a job, I know I need a fresh start, a clean slate to find love for something I once couldn’t wait to do the minute I got home.
I also found myself feeling a bit uncomfortable at times with the fact that most people who are my moots and read my stories are minors. This could also be another reason as to why I didn’t want to work on and publish my stories to my fullest capability. I know I cannot help that, and I cannot control who reads my books, but it is hard to be yourself or show who you are through your writing when you know kids are the ones reading it, and that is not the audience I want to have.
Because of that reason, I was unsure if I wanted to tell you all what the account is called that I’m moving to, but I realized I probably should just announce it anyway if I want people to know it’s me. However, I am going to post what I want without fear anymore for those who are reading my books. I want to use this new account as a comfort, safe space that I will mainly write on, and therefore, I’ll most likely be less interactive. The account is @enhaquill and I have so many ideas so I hope I can actually complete at least one.
