Hi, Hey, Hello!
It's been soooo long.
I know I said that I wouldn't (or at least I didn't have any plans of doing it) but I have.
At the time I regretted it a bit (because I had a lot of reads on IILWMBF) but I've come to terms with it.
I deleted my stories;
A majority of you probably don't care, or aren't even going to bother reading this; but I thought I should just address this now to avoid any upsets in the future.
Wattpad was a big part of my reading life.
I could not put my phone down, and at times I was going back and forth between multiple stories at once.
But it's something (reading on Wattpad) I haven't done in a while; and something I don't think I will continue doing in the future.
Yes, I absolutely love the novels on here!
But reading on my iPhone (for hours on end) isn't very healthy; for anyone.
It can be damaging for your eyes, and it takes away from valuable family/school time.
Prioritizing I guess.
Also, regardless of how fun it was - I do not wish to continue writing on here
It is SO easy for your work to be copied, or stolen, or published somewhere else.
I do not want that to happen to me.
I work very hard on my stories; hours of writing and publishing; and no matter how embarrassed I am to do it, I ask for other opinions from teachers and family.
In the future, I do want to pursue a career in writing.
Somehow I think I've already taken a tiny step toward that path.
Last month I submitted an entry for the Young Writers Award competition (wish me luck haha).
Also, this may sound weird, but I prefer reading physical books.
Yes, they can be somewhat expensive or hard to find (in stores) at time; but I find satisfaction in turning the pages; seeing how far in the book I've come and seeing my shelves slowly get filled up.
I think my little (not so little) ramble should end right here; so yeah!
I don't want to completely disappear, though.
Over the years (2) I read on Wattpad, I commented A LOT.
So I do enjoy reading the replies haha.
