✩ I'm done with Wattpad. Though I wish I could've seen some success on this site, I've had good times here, regardless, and made great friends.
          	✩ Good luck to everyone following their dreams on this site. Personally, I don't think Wattpad is deserving of the many wonderful stories that are posted here, which are essentially buried in a landslide of rubbish. 
          	✩ Thank you to everyone who read and supported The Chord of Creation. Maybe I'm being conceited, but I can't shake the sense that the story didn't receive the attention it deserved. It's time I take the premise, characters, and world on a new journey.
          	✩ If I ever achieve success elsewhere, I'll be sure to come back and post here, so that you know where to find me. Until then, I wish you all the best!

@lralexander sorry to see you go, but I wish you luck and success wherever your journey takes you. I agree though, CoC does deserve much more recognition and appraisal. <3

✩ I'm slowly beginning my withdraw from Wattpad. I'm not going away completely, but I'll be more of an 'occasional lurker' than a 'participant'. There are too many problems with Wattpad and my only hope is that Naver will fix them, but that won't be for awhile. 
          ✩ My *super secret project* releases on my alt account in 13 days, theoretically, but I hesitate over whether it should see the light of day. It's terrible, and even though it was designed to be awful, the artist part of me hates bad things and wants to make it better. What does it mean to 'improve' something that was never meant to be good in the first place? I don't know. And until I figure it out, its release will remain uncertain.

✩ Wattpad is losing a bit of its flavor for me. Its many limitations outweigh its few benefits. I hope the *super secret project* will rejuvenate my interest in being here, but I don't know... 
          ✩ 17 days until the release of the *super secret project*

@lralexander Well whatever this secret project is I can’t wait to read it :)

★ '36 Tricks For More Wattpad Reads' is currently ranking #51 in Non-Fiction! Hurray! 
          ★ I have about 30,000 words in notes about the writing process. If I compiled them into a book on advanced writing tips, would anybody be interested in reading it?

@lralexander 36 tricks is brilliant for getting more reads by fellow wattpaders, but how do you get a story noticed by a mainstream publisher or Sony Movies? Any advice?

One final, hopeless charge against the unyielding Wattpad barricade.

★ I've started a new book: 36 Tricks For More Wattpad Reads, Votes & Comments. The first chapter has been posted today. Ongoing updates will be every Thursday.
          ★ As for The Chord of Creation's updating schedule, I'm going to be experimenting with Wattpad's ranking a bit. I'll be posting only once a week for the next two weeks, allowing my ranking to slide, only to come back with a whopping one chapter every day for the two weeks after that.

★ The method of posting chapters twice a week isn't really seeing the results I wanted. In fact, I'm seeing no results at all. Therefore, it's getting harder to see the justification of posting twice a week when I could post at a faster rate, or a slower rate, or I could post the rest of the novel now. It really won't make a difference to me. So, I'd like to take a poll of you, my (hypothetical) readers: 
          ★ A. Post once a week (slower) 
          ★ B. Post twice a week (current speed) 
          ★ C. Post three times a week (faster) 
          ★ D. Post the entire novel now

Once a week maybe? Whatever works best for you

★ The Chord of Creation's Chapter 24 'The Black Goat' is up! Nadia decides how she feels about Sebastian, while Hadley spreads gossip. 
          ★ I'm considering joining another round of awards, just waiting for the results from the current one to come in. Prepare for possible awards shoutouts.
