Back from Hiatus

Hello friends and foe.

I am back from hiatus. during my hiatus I had a lot of motivation to draw and write so the moment I finished my exams I started writing and drawing. since I have done neither of these for a while specially drawing my skills are rusty. soo i kinda need to get used to drawing again. Any tips for getting over this genre of art block is appreciated. I also have around 2 to 4 months without school so I can work on improving.

TLDR: my art skills have deteriorated. send advice

sincerely

Me

I am not going on hiatus as it seems cause why study when I can procrastinate? anyway I was thinking and my perfectionist ahh decided to make this my powerpuff girl blog since it's mostly ppg stuff here and make a different one where I overshare (which is what I'm doing now the irony is not lost on me) Idk if I'll do this bc it's 2am and I should be studying or in bed.

thank you for coming to my Ted talk

GOING ON HAITUS TO GET INTO MY GIRL BOSS ERA

So apparently I've grown a following over here. and I apologize for the very long hiatus and I'm disappointed to announce the hiatus will continue till the end of February. (probably till the 27th) This is due to the unfortunate fact that I am a student and will face a life altering exam in Feb (fellow Sri Lankans will know) hahaha.

So no posts, art or fanfics from me.

Much love, Shel1💋

send help.

Wattpad honestly isn't built for writers who actually want to pursue a serious career. It's a platform that thrives on cliché, mass produced romances because those bring in the most clicks. and the more shallow the trope, the better it performs in their system. The plots are often painfully cringe, and finding a genuinely good book buried under the algorithm feels like digging for gold in a landfill. And that algorithm pushes popularity, not quality, so writers with depth or originality barely stand a chance unless they bend themselves into whatever trend is currently blowing up.

Most of the writers who made it big from Wattpad either come with problematic histories or have virtually zero background in actual writing craft, yet they get glorified because the platform treats virality as talent. It's basically turned into a giant fanfiction hub at this point (no hate towards fanfiction or fanfic writers, i write fics myself) despite it was originally meant for all genres, and the culture around it treats writing like social media engagement instead of literature. And the community? A lot of readers there have no real sense of literary critique, everything is either overhyped or ignored based purely on vibes and ship drama.

Worst of all, abuse and pain is heavily fetishized and romanticized and I find it odd how most of female writers engage in these tropes. Wattpad could've been a space for real creativity, but instead it feels like an endless conveyor belt of trends, tropes, and underage fantasy dressed up as "storytelling".
