It’s been lifetimes, and yet…I’ll never forget anyone I formed a friendship with on this app. You’ve had a profound impact on me and you’re the reason I can say that I finished a whole novel (Misery Loves Company, of course). 
          	
          	Since then I’ve gone through the pandemic, gotten COVID twice, lost my dream job, cut ties with IRL friends who I thought would always be in my life. Got another job (I hate it), gone through painful creative droughts (because life does its best to squeeze every ounce of creativity out of you) and then found it again thanks to inspiration from various places. 
          	
          	I guess what I’m trying to say is, I miss the Wattpad era of my life and I miss talking to all of you. As far as writing goes, I’ve written a few fanfics for AO3, I’m SLOWLY writing a dark academia novel and a webtoon, but it’s really hard to keep going.
          	
          	I don’t think I’ll ever have the time to be on Wattpad the way I was before, but you’ll see me around more often and I even plan to post a new story. 
          	
          	I think I’ve come to terms with the the fact that you guys motivate me beyond compare, and I can’t finish another novel without you.
          	
          	Much love, always— even though many of our “Wattpad Eras” have ended and it’s a completely different app <3

@theinkslingerr2 Beautiful message. Truly heartfelt, as I feel the same. The app/website is different and feels different. Perhaps where my disconnect is born from.  Where ever you go in life. Always write !! I hope and pray that you always write. Regardlesss if it is shared or just kept within the company of you. All the best I wish for you!! Take care, sweetpea.

Miss you and ily!! It’s been a super rough few years and I’m happy to hear from you, even if just an update letting us know you’re still around. I hope things look up for you! I still think about Misery all the time.

I’m so annoyed with myself. I can never just focus on one project. I’m:
          
          -finishing the next chapter of Fowler
          -writing the script for a webtoon 
          -and in one afternoon, I wrote the first part of Josh’s (from Misery Loves Company) spin-off
          
          (And Josh’s spin-off came out of nowhere. It came pouring out of me, and I feel taken advantage of LOL).

@sophxant I am both excited and annoyed LOL.

@ELMckenzie Do it! It’s challenging, but fun since dialogue has always been my fav part of writing. 
            
            If you have any questions let me know.

Season 4 of Stranger Things really said, “They’re not kids anymore” and proceeded to traumatize me…

@HeartlessnEmotional It’s pretty much a sci-fi show, but they added more horror elements this season. The villain is really gruesome, and the way it kills people is gruesome too T . T

@theinkslingerr Wait what happened?? I haven't watched the show but I'm curious

@Bailey-Elizabeth It’s the scariest season yet. I wasn’t ready either LOL.

Have you ever read one of your old stories, and went wow…there’s no way I wrote this? XD
          
          Most of the time, our old stuff is cringey, but there’s always that one unfinished story that’s surprisingly good. That you may have become a different person to write, and wished you could be that person again. 

HeartlessnEmotional

@theinkslingerr Definitely but it makes me smile.... At my growth and sometimes I surprise myself at some things I've written and like, that's pretty good could be tuned but could expand into a pretty good book. If only, I was consistent with writing.

@sophxant I would love to read some of your stuff <3 But yeah, same. Sometimes I wish I could unscrew the top of my head and pour my thoughts on paper.

Oooh yeaaah, that’s happened the me . Most of the time I just feel like my writing can’t do justice to my idea, however. But I also feel like I don’t have the time to invest to make up that difference. Sigh
