Hey Guys,
I'm so sorry this isn't an actual update. I've had a very long writer's block these past few weeks and I'm not sure when I'll get over it. I feel so guilty whenever I promise to update, then I sit for hours and nothing interesting comes out and I have to tweet that I wasn't able to finish the update. I have tons of ideas, but I'm just really overwhelmed by them and the fact that I don't have time to really think them through.
My schedule this semester is really tight, too. I don't think it's humanly possible for me to be a full time university student with two jobs, two internships, deal with my unbelievably controlling Afghan dad and my goody-two shoes sisters, and also write a book. My family is also moving because we can't afford to live in our house anymore, so we've been super busy trying to sell some furniture, clothes, etc....I'm not looking for sympathy or anything; I just want you guys to know why I haven't been updating as often. I have really enjoyed writing CULT and I have so many wild ideas for what's in store, but I want to write strong chapters and make sure that all the ideas flow logically.
Also, I think some of you know that I'm leaving wattpad. I'm just very frustrated with the way wattpad has been censoring and reporting my chapters, sometimes deleting them or making it difficult for people to find my other books, as well as favoring other writers that make them more money *cough*
But it's not just wattpad, I'm a bit too old to be sitting behind my laptop, writing fanfics lol. I will always be writing, even though I'm not the best at it. I know that I have a passion for it and it will always be ingrained in me.
Here's what I'm offering: I can continue to write CULT, but I can't update more than twice a month (at least until winter break). Or, I'll just stop writing. (I just choked on my spit when I wrote that. I'll never ever ever be able to stop writing, even though I'm not that great lol. I just love writing too much.) I'll leave up my work and have my account running, but I won't be active on wattpad anymore. I'll reply to messages when I can, but I won't be posting more chapters or stories.
I'm so sorry, guys. I know some of you were really into CULT. I just don't have any time and I need to focus on my school and jobs, etc. I'm graduating university in a year and I'm terrified. I wish you guys the best and I can't thank you guys enough for your support thus far <3
Best,
Mariam Xx
