Hi, oh jeez I haven't been here in a long time. My mental health got really bad this year but thankfully summer came in handy so I'm all good now :)
          	
          	Anyways, if anyone is wondering if i abandoned my books, nope, but I am planning on stopping posting on wattpad since the traction here is poor. I'm also planning on trying making comics and improving my art and finally building a fanbase. It will take years but i hope what I learned in marketing class might help.
          	
          	I'll be honest, as much as writing is fun, I never felt that my works fit on this platform and I was targeting the wrong audience. Indie comics and animation is something I'm intrigued by and want to try, but with my current skill level I'll need time to polish my works.
          	
          	I was always drawn more to the stories that are visually told so trying a new medium might be it. It also saves me from writing dreaded descriptions that I hate with all my being lol.
          	
          	So yea, a lot of stuff planned, might not actually succeed. But I have time and I'll see where it goes!
          	
          	Hope y'all are having a great time :D

Hey Kathy! It's been so long, I hope you're doing well. I was recalling my old friends from Wattpad and I knew I had to talk to you. I just saw your post and I must tell you that you are one of the most creative people on the platform. I hope you always continue to share your work whenever you feel comfortable to!
          
          On another note, would you be willing to help me with my academic research survey? I need diverse opinions on the Representation of the Indian Queer community on Wattpad and I'm sure your voice will add incredible value to my research. Or if you know anyone who might be interested in helping, that would be great as well. 
          
          It'll only take 5-7 minutes to complete the survey. Your responses are completely confidential and your consent is very important.

Hello y'all, exams are over and I'm chilling :D
          
          Today Stories Undiscovered featured my fantasy middle grade novel Five Sisters for March which honestly I didn't expect considering it needs a looot more edits and adjustments. Nevertheless, I'm happy yeee
          
          Also, I will be online here and there and editing so if someone wants to chat or continue our r4rs, dm me :)

Hi, I was wondering if you would like to enter your book in my contest, The Love Song Awards? It just started and I'm trying to get as many participants as possible for each genre. All books must have romance as a sub-genre and a minimum of 10 to 15 chapters (short story is a minimum of 3 or 5,000 words). Submissions close on January 30th. Thank you! https://www.wattpad.com/story/186058982?utm_source=android&utm_medium=link&utm_content=story_info&wp_page=story_details_button&wp_uname=EmpressPenguin&wp_originator=dn3OhBgTEOE7jx%2Bi2JV6FeW%2BzhXhDF5ph4m7J5Auq11cLik%2B6ND2BYd08TS2KxToq5qzozNDGQBv%2BS6KJklWh4lAdR5v%2F1a3NdFsXvF5Xv6fdggtZ33DAx4PKOrCKzN7

Hey guys, it's finally holidays! So, a few things first, I'll be getting back to my r4rs, but I gotta say, i won't be updating that soon. Rn I'm focusing on POV editing (going from an unclear POV to 3rd person multiple perspective) for my humor books and that'll take some time. It's incredible how much I've learned about writing from books about the craft in just two months. I only now see how crappy my writing was (excluding dialogue, although that needs some adjustments too) and how much I improved and will improve. So, I hope you can stay patient bc I will at some point start updating again, but first I wanna focus on quality and not quantity. Hope that's okay :D
          I'll probably submit what i already have to see and compare the feedback before and after editing. I'm even open for read-for-edit but I'm not sure if anyone is interested in that since most of us are writers first and editors second lol.
          
          Anywayss, have a Marry Christmas and a Happy New Year. I'll be online so if you wannna chat I'm on here, on Instagram and Discord.
          So yea :D
