Semi-Hiatus

Due to a variety of factors, I've decided that I'm going to take a semi-hiatus from wattpad.

What that means:


  • I won't be on very often
  • Responses to comments & messages will be very slow
  • Blog Posts will be scarce
  • After ID is finished, uploads will be nearly nonexistent.
What that DOESN'T mean: 

  • I'm leaving
  • I'm never going to upload
  • The Imperi's Deception will remain unfinished

Reasons: 

  • need to focus on school
  • need to focus on ACT prep
  • have a college class I'm doing bad in
  • need some mental health time
  • wattpad just isn't where I need to be right now


Elaboration:

I'm just feeling really detached and I just don't think Wattpad is where I need to be right now. I'm starting to lose focus on classes again and mostly in favor of writing, and I just don't want to slip back into that. I have too much to focus on and too much to do.

So basically, you won't hear from me except for when I upload ID. I'll respond to comments after I post (and please keep commenting because honestly you guys' comments always make me feel less shitty) but for the most part, I'll post and go.

This isn't a decision I take lightly. A lot of thinking and a lot of angst lead to this decision. I need to do this for myself. I've started to become dependent on Wattpad for some sort of support if I posted an angsty status or my green light was even on. & that's not healthy. Mostly because i'd exit out feeling even shittier. 

For the sake of my grades, mental health, and the quality of my writing, I need to take a sort of break.

If you see my green dot, that means I'm probably checking up on my watty friends, my profile, or I accidentally opened the internet on my phone (which is perpetually on wattpad). Feel free to post on my messageboard, in my ask, in my tumblr, in my pm's whatever it may be.

I'll update the blog sporadically. I'll answer asks when I have the time, though I don't get very many so don't expect me to answer very quickly. I'm not going to fall off the face of the planet. You won't get five months without me again. 

For the record, ID will get finished. After it is, the semi-hiatus will probably feel a little bit more real. But most of you won't really notice unless you're a WT reader (sorry).

This was really something I had to do for myself. And for Muffy. It might not make sense. You might not like it. You might not care tbh, which I'm sure many of you don't.

Anyways, thanks for being amazing. And your comments and messages genuinely make my day. Keep smiling and keep being awesome.
