Official statement from Scarlett Rose:
          	Wattpad has been selling data from millions of users on this website which includes full names, email addresses, IP addresses, social media profiles etc. This is quite frankly a major privacy breach and I am appalled by this discovery (as lots of us are also feeling the same)
          	
          	I am one of those that was affected by this after some research to see if my social media accounts and email addresses were breached, which they were. I advise you all to change your login details on everything ASAP. Right now, no excuses. Do it.
          	
          	I was thinking about coming back to write here. However I no longer feel safe and at this time, I will be looking into making a formal complaint against Wattpad and potentially deactivating this profile. After seven years of writing, making friends and feeling welcomed. That has all vanished away after this event.
          	
          	Stay safe.

Hello!
          If you have been an avid reader of my creative works and would like to support me, then I do have a Ko-Fi page where you can pledge towards my goal. I review audiobooks and currently have a target of £18 which will go towards extra audiobook credits for Audible for sensory reasons. I have autism and have been using headphones a lot more often to reduce anxiety and block out extra noise. Having a story playing really helps to sleep better and feel better generally.
          
          If 18 people came forward today and each one pledged a single £1, then we would reach the goal! If you can help, please consider pledging. Thanks again! https://www.ko-fi.com/post/Revising-My-GoalLife-Update-In-Lockdown-W7W31PN3S

Hi all *awkwardly waves*
          I'm back... sort of, kind of. Yes, I'm here again. As we all know, the world is a scary place right now and for some sort of miracle, I am writing again. Once I started to put pen to paper, I generally couldn't stop myself. I would really like to come back and post some new stories again. I hope there are still some active followers here who would be interested to see some new stories from me...
          
          Stay safe!

Currently posting this through my phone but...
          
          It's been a long while, REALLY long while since I last updated about my current life situations or my writing. As most of you may have known, I was accepted into University last year to study Creative Writing. Sadly, things didn't work out. I did start, however I faced prejudice for being a writer with a disability and wasn't given much support or understanding. I had to leave the course and since then, I've basically stopped writing. It's just far too painful for me to get words out and feel happy, since every time I try to write, it reminds me too much of my failures. It's really sad, since I had a ton of stories and poetry ideas that I really wanted to pursue.
          
          I don't really post much here anymore, but I did start to upload new projects on a website called Penana (basically another online writing site) since I needed a change of pace. I am planning to re-write You and Me at some stage in my lifetime. It still blows my mind that people are still reading a project I wrote when I was 15!!!
          
          Best ways to contact me are through my Instagram at www.instagram.com/alicetiedthebookishknot and on my Penana account at https://www.penana.com/user/23519/alicethewriter7. Thanks for sticking by!
          
          Much love, Alice/Scarlett x

@Iwritevariety you did not fail. They chose to not help you. That is their fault not yours. Please don’t give up on your dreams bc of some people not understanding and able to move past their own selves to see that everyone learns differently and you can’t discriminate against someone bc they don’t learn the way you do.

Hello all! I have some exciting new projects released (and currently working on) posted to the website Penana. A few of you have asked me if I'm still active online and the answer is yes! Penana is a writing website just like Wattpad is one, but it's easier to set up collabs there, as well as create new writing contests. Penana is free, there's hundreds of stories to read and I would love your support as I enter the next chapter in my writing. It means a lot to me, I'm writing a new novella but recently finished multiple collections of poetry and started a short story collection!: https://www.penana.com/user/23519/alicethewriter7
          
          Thank you again, have a lovely day!

Need advice! I'm trying to build up a following on Penana, but my usual methods aren't working. What should I do?

Iwritevariety

@letmelivetonight Oh no! I think it's because not a lot of people know about Penana :(

@letmelivetonight I'm using lots of hashtags for my stories, which seems to be working reading count wise. But not getting the follows :/
