Hi,
I apologize to those who were reading The Forgettables who suddenly can't find the story. I've taken it down permanently. I wish I could have waited a bit longer for those who are near the end to finish, but I also felt that if I didn't do it now, I never would.
I also took down The Arena Book One and FANA.
I don't know when or if they will come back. Apologies. Since they are first drafts, there are many errors in them, especially since my natural creative state is that of a plantser. So, there are many inconsistencies. While they aren't finished, these problems continued to pile up and made what I was newly writing feel tainted.
Some of them need complete plot rehauls, narrower world-building, and more interesting characters. I think these stories grew too big for my current skill set. I no longer feel confident to tell them, and this feeling has been building so long now that I've finally made peace with it and decided to act on it.
Salvation gets the most readers on here, so I'm keeping it up. I hope to finish that one for those who found it.
High Elf is my newest baby, so it has more of a chance to stay consistent with who I am as a writer now. The goal is to finish these two.
I'm also going to dive deeply into research, hoping to polish off an idea come time for NaNoWriMo.
Unfortunately, I changed so much as a person, creator, and writer since the conception of these stories. When I started them, I had enough time to make lots of progress on their writing. I never expected to still be writing them three years later. I can't allow myself to fall into that pit fall ever again.
It's really sad to unpublish books. I feel I've let my characters down, but taking this journey with them taught me how to be on Wattpad, how to struggle, and how to grow. I owe them everything for this journey I've been on.
But it's time. I knew this was coming, I was just waiting for the day I accepted it inside of me first.
'Til next time,
Coda
