Exceptional WP "mom" in your writing/reading journey (max.3)

Today's #ManCrushMonday prompt gets a twist from me.

Because as an oversight, like most of my life, I don't know any dudes on here (or in real life either. It's like I went to an all girl school only I didn't. I'm not complaining, we're all so pretty).

And I thought about doing #mcm WP characters but then I said nahhhh.

Ima do my Wattpad Moms.

I have two. Which makes them more like my WP parents. I can't rank them, so they're sharing the middle podium.

My number one Wattpad Mom is the incredible WP Engagement Specialist,

Miss alessandra.

She wanted me to call her the cool aunt but I said, "pfft, that ain't happening." Not only is she gorgeous and uber supportive, (like, this is an underdog film and I wouldn't have a chance without her kind of support) but did you know she also writes and directs short films? Talk about star-struck. My favorite of which is CURBED on Vimeo. (Yes, I stalked her.)

Also, we met at a funeral (well, I was at a family funeral when she PM'd and introduced herself). And, if you know me, that's basically fate.

"our love is god, let's go get a slushie."

The above is basically the wedding vows for me and my other number one Wattpad Mom, Wattpad Ambassador

Miss tamoja.

I have the greatest respect for her. A nurse, kids, and a writer? When does she find the time? Seriously. All I have to say for myself on a daily basis is:

And I state that knowing she would be the first one to jump in and refute it, telling me to believe in myself a little more, or else! Why? Because that's the kind of amazing and uplifting person she is.  "When I get down, Tammy turns it around." And I'm so, so grateful.  (Although, even she'd have to admit consuming 15 doughnuts is an impressive feat.)
