Behind The Story

ACRL37

1.) Name, Age, and Wattpad screen name :D

1) Anna Wong, 20, ACRL37 =)

2,) How did you find Wattpad? How long have you been on Wattpad? Were you writing before you found it?

2.) I found it on Google haha..I had an account on Fictionpress and was looking for something similar and came across Wattpad. I think I've been on here for about three weeks, almost a month, and yeah, I've been writing for as long as I can remember. I haven't posted many of my stories online though.

3.) Why haven't you? (posted some of your stories)

3.) Well, a lot of them aren't fully developed..I just wrote them on a whim and they're just really a mess of thoughts lol. If We Ever Meet Again is the first story I'm really serious about finishing.

4.) You are farely popular on this site, any advvice to writers on wattpad trying to step up there game?

4.) Don't ever write something you don't want to write! On online writing sites, it's easy for writers to fall into the trap of writing their stories to please the readers alone, and sometimes it may not be something the writer actually enjoys. If you write a story you're passionate or excited about, though, it definitely shows, and the reader will enjoy it too =)

5.) Have you ever been caught up in worring about what your fans think?

5.) I definitely do care about what my fans think, because I really appreciate all of their support. So when someone gives me a suggestion for my story or points out a mistake, I'll definitely take it into consideration and a lot of the time I'll make according changes. At the end of the day, I focus on my own vision for the story, but I'm definitely open to suggestions from others =)

 6.) Have you ever recieved hard criticisim? If so, often or not?

6.)Um...I don't think I've really received any harsh criticism so far. Some readers have pointed out certain mistakes but they were all pretty nice and helpful about it, and I always appreciate constructive criticism =)

7.) Is there anything you wish was different about Wattpad?

7.) Sometimes Wattpad seems too much like a popularity contest. I love the site but I think a lot of writers feel pressure to write what they think readers will like instead of what they like and so we see the same stories over and over again.. although of course, I can't think of how Wattpad would be able to change this.

8.)Have you, or are you currently, on the WH list?

8.) Right now I'm #110. I think the highest I ever got was 40 but I guess people haven't been reading the later chapters as much =(

9. )Was popularity for you on wattpad something easy? Or did you have to ask around alot?

How long did it take for your stories to get alot of reads?

9.)Well, I've been on Wattpad for about a month, and when I first started writing, I participated in a lot of Share Your Story club discussions. I still do, actually. In the beginning though I didn't really know that much about the What's Hot list, and then I woke up one day and found out I was on it. It was pretty cool but definitely unexpected lol. I guess it didn't take a long time for my stories to get a lot of reads, but like I said, I do go on club discussions a lot.. (Plus she is pretty awesome lol)

10.)So for anyone who wants to get there story out there you suggest the WH list?

And i asked what you didnt like, Now what is your FAVORITE thing about WP?

10.)Well the WH list is based on how many recent reads and comments a story has gotten, but if a book is on there there's probably a greater chance it'll get read by a wider audience...of course, there are some really amazing stories that never make it on there for some reason, so Undiscovered Gems is also a pretty good place to share your work, especially if you write outside of 'normal' topics like romance etc.

My favorite thing about Wattpad...I have so many! Lol. But I love that there are so many good stories on here, and there's something for everyone. Plus, the entire community is really supportive and kind =)
