Wattpad Anniversary #1!

Hey, guys!

Today, October 6th, 2015, marks the one-year anniversary of when I joined wattpad. I can't believe how quickly a year has flown by!

I've had so many good times on that site! Some of the most amazing things that have happened thus far include:
  1. I've been able to make a difference with BULLIED (a book which I've talked about in previous updates)! The fact that it has reached over ONE MILLION reads and has been #1 on the Non-Fiction What's Hot List for WEEKS is still crazy to me!
  2. My debut novel, Roses Are Red, has gained a small but mighty fan base thanks to the wattpad following I have!
  3. Thanks to the positive feedback I've received on wattpad, I've gotten the courage to try re-querying a book I wrote three years ago, called The Suit War!
  4. I've gotten to meet some really amazing people, writers and readers alike! Thank you to everyone that has supported me and my work! I LOVE YOU ALL!

If you haven't had a chance to check out Wattpad.com yet, I strongly recommend it, whether you're a writer, a reader, or both! It's such a loving, supportive place in so many ways, and I'm so glad that I joined the site!

I can't wait to see what the future brings!

  1. When I read how SUCCESSFUL you are I immediately went to check out your profile. I think you've just motivated me to finish my stupid story and write something for real. Isn't that feeling of making it into the top 100 of a category just the BEST feeling though, even if the story is complete rubbish (in my case). Sometimes I've felt ashamed of having a wattpad account because of it's bad rep, but a website that allows to get amateur writing out there is pretty cool.

    1. Aw, thank you so much, M! It really is a great feeling anytime a story ranks on one of Wattpad's What's Hot Lists! Sure, some stories on Wattpad may be more polished than others, but don't let that discourage you from writing! If anything, I think Wattpad is a great place for newer writers to hone their craft because often the feedback can be very helpful. So I hope you won't feel ashamed anymore, because being a writer on Wattpad is awesome in my opinion!

      Best of luck with your stories!
