⚠️ WHAT IS HAPPENING ON WATTPAD!!!? ⚠️
          	
          	There has been a lot of scamming, hacking, and pirating going on around here. And we need greater community awareness to protect ourselves.
          	
          	1. Pirates have copied Wattpad stories and are selling them on Google Play Books for a toenail. If you haven't checked if your story is stolen, pls do so and file a DMCA. Just go to Google Play Books and make sure to search your Wattpad Username because sometimes book titles don't always come up in search results.
          	
          	2. There is a site called inknovl. It looks legit, but several writers on Wattpad also found their books pirated on that site, so pls check if your story is up there and file a DMCA.
          	
          	3. Hackers have been targeting discord. If you are friends with someone who has been hacked, you will likely receive a message saying they accidentally reported you and that you need to follow some verification steps. Do not follow their instructions and report them immediately!
          	
          	4. Scammers are directly posting on Wattpad message board saying that you will lose the ability to post if you don't follow a verification process. Do not click on any links they share and report them immediately!
          	
          	I have not shared any links here to avoid confusion. Search the sites for yourself.
          	
          	I'm sure there's more happening on top of the spam comments we're all getting. We're being targeted and we need to fight back (somehow).
          	
          	Pls. share the awareness by copying this post and posting it on your message board. And if you know any other fishy activities, feel free to add them to the list.

I've now received emails from WattPad Help about the two reports I made. They said to report any new ones. Fortunately, there haven't been any new ones.

Compliments of the New Year dear friends! I have been off Wattpad for more than a year as a writer, only logged in once or twice to read some of my favourite books. I'm not sure when I'll resume writing, but I plan to attempt it sometime this year.
          
          Wattpad has been my favourite hideout for many years, it's where Viictoria and Hayden were brought to life, so this wasn't an easy decision, but I'm afraid I will be taking Letting Go down here on Wattpad and on Inkitt this weekend.
          
          I am sorry to those who might still be reading it and hope you'll show my other books as much love as you did with LG.
          
          Thank you for the support.
          
          Happy Tuesday:-)

Hello wattpaders! I have been so scarce these past months, life just got busy and yeah. With everything going on in my life plus not getting an Amby award I saw no reason to continue writing.
          
          I'm still deciding how to go forward with One Heartbeat so I can continue updating it. I won't leave it unfinished, especially cus it was meant to be a short story.
          
          The good news is that Romance added my book, Letting Go to Young Adult reading list!! 
          
          Happy Thursday! ❤️

@kikipee Totally get that, How are things going?  I've not been on much since the book (They Say It's a River) came out. (Thank you again for your past support)

Hi Kiki! I'm still reading your book and will until the end, but if you felt like reading a few of my short stories to make up for the fact that your book is longer than mine was, I would be super happy. My short stories could use more love, and they are quick, fun, and easy reads. Have a great weekend!

Looking for a new book to read? Go check out this awesome rom-com by @EMMcNulty ❤️ There were so many twists I didn't see coming, but truly enjoyed reading.

I haven't been writing these past weeks and I'm sorry to everyone reading One Heartbeat. There's so much not going well in my personal life, so much so that writing is the last thing on my mind on most days.
          
          When I feel well enough to write, I will update it and hopefully finish it. I'm sorry once again.
          
          Happy Wednesday!

So sorry to hear that Kikipee. I hope things turn around for you soon. ❤️

Hey Kiki! How are you? I was wondering if you had any Wattpad buddies you could recommend who might be interested in doing a read for read with me. I'm trying to get more reads on Where or When, and I'm also looking for more fun books to read. If you have any suggestions, I'm all ears.

EMMcNulty

@kikipee Thanks Kiki. I'm already a fan of Heidi, Polly and Reenie, but I will check out @zeen2805.

I'm sorry for the very very late update. No Monday blues today.
          
          
          Happy Monday! ❤️
          
          
          I just published "5. Emil" of my story "One Heartbeat ". https://www.wattpad.com/1485798646?utm_source=android&utm_medium=profile&utm_content=share_published&wp_page=create_on_publish&wp_uname=kikipee

With work, and everything happening in my life, I'm mentally exhausted that I can't even think of finishing One Heartbeat's new chapter.
          
          I don't know when was the last time I had the strength to write more than hundred words. I'm behind with not just writing, but with reading some of the books in my library.
          
          I'm sorry to One Heartbeat's readers for taking so long to update, I'm going to try to finish the new chapter in the next 48 hours.
          
          Thank you for understanding and for the support my books get from everyone of you.
          
          Happy Friday ❤️

@kikipee Take care, and I hope things get easier and you get some time to rest. It's not easy balancing everything.
