Hello everyone, I know I haven't been active on this app for a week now (and even before I've been barely active since school started) but I have something that I need to discuss.

So after a lot of consideration, I was thinking about ending this book club early due to many reasons which I will state here (down below). I really don't want to disappoint anyone especially the new members and the active ones. I really am trying to keep this club together as much as possible but it's nearly impossible at this point.

I will still continue EBC 2022 but I will do my best to make it better and make my planning more efficient and make the club work. I've already come up with some good plans that will prevent some of the reasons stated below from happening. This club will be closed if I choose to stop it, but I will still make sure every member has finished their task before officially closing it (this is including myself, I'm not just going to abandon my own tasks). I did mention a while back ago that this club is only experimental, and never I'm my life was I expecting for us to get 70 members in the span of only a few months. I was expecting this to flop at only the first month or so, but it didn't and it's kinda a good thing.

I'm sorry if you put so much trust in me, I truly did try my hardest to do everything right. But I still need to try harder of course.

If you choose not to join the next book club then I'm totally fine and I blame myself for everything. If you think I'm a bad owner then you can think so, because truly I haven't been the best. But I can assure you that I will try harder for the next book club. I'm not going to give up on the club and you guys so easily.

I'm still super proud that this book club has helped so many writers flourish and shine more, that's the intended goal of this club after all. I'm happy people have gained quite a lot from this club, and I'm happy to see so many friendships develop because of this club. This makes me know that this club wasn't completely a flop after all.

If I do choose to end this book club, then it will give me more time to prepare for the next one. I will pour my heart and soul into working on it. And I won't make promises but I will do my very best to come back stronger and better with the next one.

I really do need your opinions though, it'll be a great help to me!

Reasons:

1.) School has been getting the best of me and I haven't had time to even open this app. So it's really hard to keep track of everything on and off the app. I still need to find a better way to manage my time with things outside of Wattpad and on here. This is a problem on my behalf and I tried my best not to drag the club along with it, but obviously, that didn't work out in the end.

2.) I've encountered many problems with this club, some being people who aren't regularly doing tasks and people who have just stopped replying to me. Which makes it hard to keep track of all the members. People have also gone on hiatus and I wasn't able to track it due to a messy schedule and everything is hectic. Which now I have no idea about where the other members have gone.

3.) There are fewer and fewer people joining the tasks, which makes it almost impossible to even add a task with not many people. So then it's kinda pointless to even make a task since those people are already been paired with each other. And yes I could technically go and mention people/DM them one by one to see if they want to join the next task, but again time is a problem and there are close to 70 members all in all.

4.) The way I started this club was with no planning whatsoever, so I didn't exactly think I was going to encounter so many problems with the club itself. So that has also made it hard to deal with. And that is my fault, I'm the one to blame for that.

And yeah that's all I think, there are more reasons which I just can't think of them at the moment.

And once again, I'm sorry if I disappointed anyone. I'll try harder!
