I just released vers. 1.5 of "Friends and Hostilities" from Man of Time! If you haven't had a chance to, go catch yourself up on the story! I am releasing chapters (roughly) every other day right now and I would appreciate any support!

I am releasing an updated version of Man of Time. This edited version is intended for some beta readers, but I want a fresh start with the wattpad algorithm and gather new statistics with edited chapters. This is something I'm throwing together before showing my friends, but I intend to have a final version released by the end of this year before seeking publication (most likely elsewhere).
          
          I would appreciate if you guys gave it a read (it's worlds better than the original in which some of these chapters were made 3 years ago). And leave some comments! I love interacting with readers and talking to them about theories or reactions they've had. 
          
          Regardless, thank you to everyone who has supported me on this journey. Or has taken the time to follow my account or read a chapter or two. You guys are the best!

As I wrap up the next couple of chapters of Man of Time, I really encourage checking it out. Not just because I think it's some of my best work, but I also intend on publishing it (I'm leaning towards a traditional/self hybrid). What I mean is, it will no longer be free online. What I have published right now is a "first draft", I will be going through and finalizing it by the end of this year. I don't know how long it will take to get a publishing deal (probably a while) but I know once I cross that line I will be taking it down from here. 
          
          I'd love to gather a little community while I have it on here. Have some of you watch me grow along this journey. I had an old account of fanfics I wrote for several years ago and looking back the community I built meant so much to me, and I'd love to recreate a more mature (and pray to the gods less cringy) version of that. 
          
          I'd love a pitch for any story ideas! I want (and this is a huge reach) to have a collection of 'casual' stories on here to maintain creative flow/community. Just a thought though!
          
          ANYWAYS. I'd love any support, or any suggestions you guys may have.

Hello fellow readers! I hope all is well! I just wanted to give some updates on my current work, "Man of Time". I have gotten into the routine of publishing a chapter every two weeks, I am currently halfway through my story and if you haven't already, go give it a read! The current version is not the final, once I publish all the chapters I intend on going through, editting and rewriting some scenes/parts to ehance my story and overall message. I would very much appreciate if you followed me through this journey! I just published, Chapter 11 "How we evolve". And the next chapter "What we become" comes out at the end of this month!

Alright. I'm not upset at any particular person, but this needs to be said on behalf of every author out there...
          
           We are NOT machines. 
          
          We are not machines who have nothing better to do and pump content out to please everyone every day. We are HUMANS. We have lives. We have mental illnesses. It takes time to develop work, yet alone work that we're proud of. Keep that in mind when reading a story you like. I get that I don't post as regularly as everyone wants, because I'm slow. But I'm also a human. 
          
          I have a million things going on outside this app, and I'm not special in those circumstances. I think as readers we often forget that there is an actual person who strings words together and creates a universe out of them. You have to be patient. To have compassion and empathy. And if you can't show that then please be my guest and write a good ass story with good description, plot, structure, and dialouge. Spend years working of your craft only to have people be impatient that you aren't uploading when THEY want you to. Let your audience control you. Let's see it. Let's see that passion and joy fade because writing turns into a chore, and not a passion.
          
          Have some empathy. The world is in chaos and not everyone has the strength to be the ideal high functioning person this world demands from society. And those of you who lack that emotion, are apart if the problem.
