Will you come back?

Hey guys! I just wanted to give you a little update as to what's going on :)
          
          I just unpublished Autumn. That novel is absolutely the love of my life, but I've reworked it 2-3 times already, and it's just not clicking. The pressure of wanting to provide high quality content for you guys is killing me, and I have a LOT happening at the moment, so I made the decision to take it down and do a full rework of it. The entire story is outlined, but I feel like I have too much filler, and it isn't capturing the fun, whimsical vision I have in my mind.
          
          In the meantime, I'll be continuing to write California Gold. It helps me clear my mind, which is better for Autumn, and my mental health! I've actually just submitted CG for the 2019 Wattys, which means I've got the full story laid out! I'll continue to publish weekly chapters for you guys, and I'll be reworking Autumn behind the scenes. When Autumn is about halfway done, I'll republish it, and I'm looking forward to seeing your reactions!
          
          As to everything I have 'going on'- my boyfriend and I just got engaged, and we're moving, as well as starting new jobs! It's a super exciting fresh start, so if my updates aren't as frequent as you may like, I apologize! Life's just fun, exciting, and soooo crazy right now :)
          
          All my love xx

Do you plan on updating autumn anytime soon??

Hi, I just finished Autumn and I would love if you updated it. Please, please do it would be much appreciated. 

Hello loves, if you haven't seen the latest chapter for "Autumn" please take a minute to read it and vote if you enjoyed it! It's a relatively short chapter this time, but the next will be longer xx

Hey Vana~~I like what you're doing with "Autumn" so far. Keep it up. Just as a suggestion, thought, make sure you begin to hint at some undercurrent of sexual tension within the first chapters " I suggest this only if you want to make your book a "page-turner" and get more reads on this site. Let's not forget, 87% of the Wattpad readership are female and of those most are hormonally searching to find something to elevate their romantic interests or tweak their own sexual fantasies (harsh, but true). As the writer, your job is to plant those seeds. 
          
          As an example of what I offer you as advice, consider one of my latest tales "That Sultry Summer". You will see this relates to a pretty basic TeenFic audience and doesn't fail to deliver the sensual intrigue the readers come looking for. Hope you at least read the blurb of this book o see what I'm suggesting to you (you might even see a few of your crazy girlfriends . . . if not yourself in it).

          By the way, one of my own historical fictions, "The Tattooed Princess: Book One," now has 234,000 reads. And why? Read the Prologue to see what the hook or "premise" of this story is.

          Hope this helps you on your journey to become a popular WP writer.
