A Small Update
Hi everyone,
I wanted to let you know that I'll be taking a 30-day creative hiatus from Wattpad while I focus on some important professional projects offline.
During this time, Strings of Solace will also be on hold. My goal is still to finish and publish it before the end of this year, and I sincerely hope I'll be able to share the completed story with you.
To everyone who has supported my writing over the years—whether you've read my stories, followed my updates, left comments, voted, or simply been part of this journey—thank you. Your support and encouragement have meant a great deal to me.
Part of my decision to step away is also connected to my recent experiences on the platform. Lately, some discussions around writing, literature, and personal opinions have become increasingly hostile, and I've found myself dealing with negativity that has taken away from the enjoyment of sharing my work. I've also noticed more spam and disruptive activity, making genuine reader interactions harder to find.
While I'm away, please take care and be cautious. If you encounter spam, harassment, or accounts trying to provoke arguments, it is usually best not to engage and instead report them.
Wattpad has been an important part of my writing journey for the past eight years. It has given me wonderful memories, readers, and opportunities to grow as a writer. However, it no longer feels like the same source of joy and creative development it once was, and I feel that I need to step back and focus my energy elsewhere.
I won't be checking Wattpad during this break, but I wanted to leave this message to thank everyone who has been part of my journey here.
Thank you for reading, and I wish you all the best.
Take care,
May
