Hello all! I've got a few updates for you all!
1. I've changed my professional writing name. I will remain Chloe B. Ottilie on Wattpad, but I want something different for when I start publishing. I don't think the surname Ottilie sounds professional enough, so my social media accounts outside Wattpad are now under the name Chloe J. Bartlett.
2. Social Media - I've been taking a break from social media over the last few months and deleted it off my phone. I'll continue to keep these apps off my phone as I get too addicted. However, I will be more active on them through my PC. My TikTok and YouTube accounts are still the same, just named differently. On YouTube, all my videos have been made private because I want a fresh start with content. It is the same with TikTok. Some videos are left up but most have either been made private or deleted. My Instagram I've completely started again. My old account will be deleted, and I have a nice new one ready for a clean slate.
I'm still trying to figure out what I want to do when it comes to social media and the content I want to put out. I really want to try my best to make high-quality content for all of you, so I'm going to be playing around with making videos over the next few weeks and see how I feel.
3. Wattpad vs Published Stories - As I start the process of writing for publication, I want to separate my writing away from Wattpad a little. Though I am very proud of my stories here on Wattpad, I know they are not the best they can be. Writing a story as people are reading it is hard and the stories I'm putting out here are still first drafts. They haven't gone through edits and rewrites like published books do. As I try to carve my place in the writing world, I don't want people to see my unedited stories here and decide that my published books are no good.
Thanks for all your support over the years, it means so much. I hope you all can continue to follow me as I start these next steps in my writing journey.
