Happy Pride Month! I’m an emotional lesbian so pardon my rant:
          	
          	When I think about pride and wattpad, I’m just reminded of the fact that my first exposures with queer media mainly came through wattpad.
          	
          	So this is a message to the authors creating LGBTQIA characters: As we’re celebrating, remember that we have a responsibility to the community to write our characters well. To be deliberate and careful and considerate of what we represent. I've made more mistakes than I can count but I try and I hope you guys can try too
          	
          	Once again, Happy Pride!!!!!!! *insert a million rainbow emojis*

@geekiechicforall13 Take some time out of your summer holiday and read my favourite "after" coming out story. It focuses on the personal growth and touches on the history of being gay. I gained fresh perspective from this. Enjoy! ♥️♥️ https://www.wattpad.com/story/257471919?utm_source=android&utm_medium=link&utm_content=story_info&wp_page=story_details_button&wp_uname=LunaLillie

Did You Do It Update!
          
          I just finished plotting all of the book and made some major changes that I think will really add to the *dramatics*
          
          I'm so glad to finally be out of my writing funk! My goal is to get the point where I can start sharing chapters so wish me luck!!!

@geekiechicforall13 Impressive. Well done! Hope the summer holidays will be happy writing days.

Heyy, I need some advice, so I'm writing my first story atm and i was js wondering,  I'm almost done writing it, should I start posting the chapters on a schedule now? or should I wait till I finish the whole book and then upload it all at once, or finish the whole book and then upload it on a schedule? What do u suggest?

suckabigfathairyone

Okayy, thank you so muchh,  appreciate itt

And, in my opinion, you should NEVER post an entire book at once. Breaking up your chapters whenever possible is usually a good idea. Most people say that consistent updating gets the algorithms attention but posting all at once means wattpad can’t track how you’re updating. Yeah, that’s my spiel

I think if you’re confident that you’re not going to change the earliest chapters, starting to post in a schedule should be fine

New Writing Prompt!:
          
          Write a story with the line “This isn’t what I signed up for”
          
          This one comes from reedsyprompts. I saw so many great ones but this prompt stuck out to me. I feel like there's so much flexibility with it!
          
          If I were to write something to it, I would try to use the line in an unexpected way. Ideally, the entire prose would wrap up with that single line. Very dramatic, you know?
          
          Of course, I think there are so many other ways to approach this! If you write something  for this prompt, feel free to go to my ko-fi and sign up for a feedback session so we can go over what you wrote!

@geekiechicforall13 Oooohhh, I love ambiguous phrases. I know you are going to have sooooo much fun with this! ♥️

This Week's Writing Prompt!
          
          It's graduation season so I was busy over the weekend and didn't announce this earlier but I'm here now and that's what matters, lol
          
          This week's writing prompt is: Daniela and Steven have been dating for 1 year. Write their breakup.
          
          What I recommend to those who want to write some paragraphs for this prompt is to focus on your dialogue and/or your emotional descriptions. How can you communicate the feelings of the people involved, how can you make the readers feel apart of that moment too. If you're writing dialogue, how do you make their conversation feel realistic and impactful at the same time?
          
          If you want feedback on what you created, head over to my Ko-Fi and sign up for a feedback session! I'd be happy to talk about it with you!

Not me changing the murder method after writing half of the book 
          
          Like it needed to be done but also, screw writing murder mysteries
          
          I miss silly little high school fiction *insert sobbing emojis*

@Seaweed_brain17 Good for you, lol. I’ve already promoted it, it’s too late ToT

@geekiechicforall13 literally fr, I try making murder mysteries for myself and when I try writing out a good plot I give up because of how hard it is...high school fics are so easy to create  :,)

Announcement: I'm now offering Feedback Sessions!
          
          Starting this week, I will be offering Feedback Sessions! These are one-on-one meetings with me where you can submit a project you’re working on or write a few paragraphs in response to a prompt. I’ll read what you submitted before the meeting and we can spend an entire hour going over feedback, advice, and general tips to help you improve your skills!
          
          ​These sessions are exclusive to Ko-Fi supporters so if you want to schedule one, subscribe to my Ko-Fi and you'll see a separate announcement that explains how to get scheduled, how to submit the story I'll be reading, and all of those other details!
           
          I’ve always been really open with giving feedback and writing advice to anyone who’s DM’d me but it can be hard to give advice on a specific chapter without have context from the rest of the book. It’s also difficult to explain all of my feedback through Instagram DM’s. This would clear up a lot of those problems!
          
          Of course, I would not have any rights to what you create and will act according to the same copyright laws I follow on Wattpad and any other storytelling platform. I just hope this can be a way for me to help more of you guys reach your writing potential and that we can connect more along the way!
          
          Once again, if you'd like to schedule a meeting to get feedback on some of your writing, subscribe to my Ko-Fi to get started!
