Far more successful bloggers than I say that updates are important. One of these more successful bloggers is also doing a “no self-depreciation” challenge so I won’t say why I think they aren’t important.
Today’s post is going to be the last one in the main Elapocalypse story for a while. I’ve been running out of steam for a bit and I want to shake things up.
You see when I was a kid there used to be this thing called TV shows. They made loads of them and most of them didn’t survive. Like fish laying eggs. Sometimes when a show was not doing well they’d try to tweak it a little to save themselves. It never worked. I’ve always thought it would be neat if in that situation the show took a wild swing. If your sitcom about a married couple in Chicago isn’t working how about you inexplicably make it a supernatural drama about mummies?
If you’re going down why not go nuts?
I know why, they have to think about their careers, but the point is I’m going to do some flashbacks/background/prequels/whatever where things get funky. Why not? I’m just writing for my own amusement anyway.
Anyway, I’m probably going to take a few posts off before I start up with that. Or post about random stuff.
What kind of random stuff? Stuff like this – when I started out on WP I had three blogs. With my busy social calendar that was one blog two many. Now that I’m re-posting blog #2 on wattpad I’m getting into the same scenario. I’m doing a lot more new material on wattpad that I planned.
Sidenote, I found out that “wattpad boy” is slang for a dude who’s super-dreamy, which makes me more convinced than ever that it’s for 12-year old girls and maybe I shouldn’t be there.
The funny thing is I would prioritize wattpad first even though I only have 1 reader and I think it’s a terrible platform to attract readers. Maybe just because I’m exciting to be re-writing the Grace story.

I sympathize. It’s easy to feel beholden to the schedule, even when you know intellectually that it isn’t actually such a big deal. And you post a lot.
I think even the “Pro Content Creators” mostly understand that you have to do things you have passion for. If you stop caring or get burned-out, the audience eventually starts to feel it.
So yeah, I guess I’m saying don’t feel bad about taking a break or just writing the stuff that’s fun for you. Even though I have also felt bad about taking a break or only writing the stuff that’s fun for me.
Also “Wattpad Boy” is a dumb phrase and I refuse to believe anyone uses it.

I would have thought it was a made up urban dictionary thing had I not heard it spoken aloud in really real life
