When Wattpad started this site it was created to allow people with an idea to write and a drive to tell a story, to put them out there with other like minded writers. A test or an outlet to share their stories without harsh ridicule. At least that’s the impression I got when I joined Wattpad back in 2013. An amateur adventure without the critical eye of the published or bullies criticizing about editing issues.
          
          So why is it that Wattpad is now pushing books by authors who have already self published their books years ago? What’s going on here? I ran across a “Recommended” “Refreshing” book today that I already read (or tried to read) a year or two ago. It’s even on audible.com. I disliked the book, but still, it seems that Wattpad is becoming a platform to peddle books already out in the market. Worse, these books seem to be asking for the Wattpad coins. This seems wrong to me somehow. Am I the only one seeing this?

Good day hope you are doing well, when do you plan on updating book#19

With Wattpad’s shameful newest money grabbing scam, I promise to those that have chosen to read my stories, I will NEVER demand you pay for any of it. Just your time and maybe some constructive advice from time to time. I have been with Wattpad for 7 years and it was at one point a place were anyone with a story to tell could go and write what was in their heads. I know my stories are’t the most popular, or the most liked, or read. But I still would never ask anyone to pay for something I read unless I had hired a professional editor. But I would let you know well before hand if I ever decided to publish anything. I have too much respect for the members here on Wattpad to screw them over as they are doing now.

          P.S. Notify me if ever any of my stories asks you for money.

"What Once Was Mine" next chapter has been written. It's still bare bones and will need to be edited several times. But expect it to be out within the week. Thanks or being patient

Going to start outer limits after I see about some washing thoses other two stories only have like three chapters each if I read it now I'll be checking for updates every time and you can't update all at once I'm following you so I know when you add more chapters to it......I mostly do completed stories but I got taken in with what was once mine and then the vampires one and I got hooked so we'll do my babies first and then when you have time to update more of them let me know but my favorites to read are were/vam..stories but later on in the day will let you know what I think about the other two ... ♡♥♥♥♡♡♥♥♡♡♡

NOt to freak anyone out, my stories's titles have changed slightly. In case you're wondering why there are now numbers in front of my titles, I have placed them thee to help keep them straight in the order of my list of stories I've come up with (see my other title 'My List of Story Ideas' for this ref). I hope it doesn't cause too much problems for you. Once I've finished with a story, I'll remove it's assigned number. Thank you for your patience and thanks for reading.

I must apologize to the readers who are following my story Licked by the Lykae. As you might know, I'm close to finishing that story. What you don't know is why I haven't yet. 
          
          Back in March, I was admitted into the hospital with heart failure. Luckily we caught it before it did a lot more damage. Though I'm recovering, I currently can't continue on my other medications until my problem is fixed.
          
          Now that hasn't stopped me from writing other stories because, to be strictly honest, I have a stupid idea that if I finally finish the story, That will be my last thing I write.
          
          Stupid, I know.
          
          So, once I can finally clear my head in order to get all the players in order, I'll write the next chapter than.
          
          Thank you for your patience.

Sorry for not posting anything for a while now. Its been two days since I've been released from the hospital, two month since I got ill. Apparently, my heart just hasn't been all on board with it. Will post when I get 25% back up to somewhat normal. Again, I apologize for the lack of posts.
