I am done with chapter 36 of part 2, I can move onto part 3 which is the final part. I am going to start chapter 37 tomorrow.

I am wondering if I should give part 3, eighteen chapters like I did for parts 1 and 2.

Very happy about this!

Hi everyone!
I just posted the first chapter of my very first story on Wattpad. It’s a dark fantasy about a girl who wakes in a field with no memory. There’s a unicorn, a mysterious captor, and a slow unraveling of who or what she really is. Anyways, lots of fun stuff!
Would love any thoughts or feedback if you get the chance :skull::cherry_blossom:

Thank you in advance, any support is amazing!

I feel great!

My chapters are shorter, but I do get to the point of the chapter.

Been a while, might as well drop an update.

Rant: I’m glad that I haven’t personally encountered any AI writing on Wattpad or in published work, but the screenshots or pictures of “writers” using AI writing that I see on my Reddit feed really grinds my gears. And even worse are the people who defend it. If you can’t write without AI, you can’t write. Simple as. Likewise you’re not a real coder if you can’t code without asking ChatGPT or DeepSeek for help.

And apparently some people consider using Grammarly to be on the same level as AI writing? Uh, not if you use it as a spellchecker? Do these people even know that spellcheckers exist. Ugh. I only really use Grammarly to filter out my Britishisms because a lot of the time it gives me incorrect grammar suggestions anyway.

Share: I’ve managed to publish more chapters of Blood Will Tell since 2022. I’m still at the 40% completion mark, somewhere around that. Oh, and I may or may not have gained a few readers in real life! My current roommate has a Wattpad account and she’s mostly caught up so far! :smiley:

Oh, and I’ve also revamped its cover. It’s right here if you want to take a look! I’m much more satisfied with it than my previous one.

Progress: I’m currently working on Chapter XLVI. I might update it today or tomorrow :eyes:

I soooo agree with your rant! Jane Austen, the Brontes, and all the other writers of the past never used AI for any aspect of their work and they’re still read and loved. I don’t understand why everyone today needs a crutch, and such a pathetic crutch at that. (ノ_<、)

Love the new cover! The bright red sky in the center really opens it up and makes it more threatening somehow. (*^-‘) 乃

I am done with chapter 47 and 48! Man those were really great chapters!

I might do chapter 49 later today or tomorrow (probably tomorrow). Unless, I wind up doing it later today because I am in the zone.

I am passing the 100k mark and I love it.

Thinking about my book title.

Between Roses
is “placement of MC” and “thing-most-prominent-in-story”

Since I’ve decided my rat girl story will have all the royal birds be cockatoos, I think it’s only fitting to call it Among Crests.

People know what crests are, right?

Either that, or I call it, Among Feathers
or
not match it with the other book because they don’t connect that much anyway, and call it, Rat Among Birds

or

Land of the Talking Animals

Any comments, anyone? :grin:
