Hi everyone,
It's been a long time since I stopped being active on Wattpad (a few years to be exact). I'm not sure how many of you still read my books but since I was able to log back into this account, I want to give you all an explanation as to why I left the community for so long.
Obviously, I am a lot older than when I wrote my published books. It was not until recently when I remembered about them and went back to read them only to realize that these stories are poorly written, which is why they got a lot of negative feedback. Due to my inability to receive feedback nicely, I found myself in arguments with other members in the Wattpad community, which I want to apologize for.
However, that is not the main reason I took a break from Wattpad in the first place. One of my books, "How to Get More Followers" was written because the amount of followers and views I recieved suddenly became more important to me than my actual enjoyment in writing. One of the chapters I wrote says that if you follow me, I will follow you back, which became an issue when so many people only became interested in the same thing as me: followers.
As cliche as it sounds, the point of Wattpad isn't the reads or followers. It's about getting the chance to explore yourself and let your imagination grow.
Now, I made a new Wattpad account and published my first three chapters of a romance book I've been working on for a while. For now, I won't reveal my new username or story because I am still debating what I'm going to do with this one.
Again, I'm sorry for not following you back even though I made a commitment. I hope you all understand that I was way younger and wasn't mature enough to make the right decisions.
Much Love,
StarryJanet
