Me Again (Well duh, who else),

Let's talk about Wattpad:

I discovered Wattpad late 2015 when my friend Sarah (as I mentioned in one of my posts), told me about it. I was planning to put it on a website, but she gave me all the details and we even had matching writing pun names (well...I copied her). After that I became hooked on writing my first book Silver Lining, which I've unpublished but may publish again.

After I finished that, I started working on my other unpublished novels - Cloud Nine, A Group Of None, and Fallen - An Angel Story. However, I wrote myself into a corner and stopped, unpublishing all of my books. 

I took a bit of a break, before I got the inspiration for 8-Bit. this started me on another craze, and I wrote furiously, putting a lot more care into this writing then I did in my other books. I was really proud of the outcome and wrote only that until a few days ago when I started this blog.

So that's my Wattpad history. I've had a lot of fun publishing these books, and will continue to publish these books all the way through my schooling. But now let's move on to the darker side of Wattpad. Yes, I'm talking about rants.

Okay, I would first like to give the proper dedications. I've been reading Wattpad's Dirty Little Secrets, and I'm not sure if I stole from the book, was inspired by the book or read the book and thought of this idea randomly. Either way, I'd like to just give credits to @altarviolence either for this rant or for amazing books and teaching me a lot about the extra features of Wattpad. Go check her out, she has hilarious rants, informative Wattpad how-tos, and amazingly written novels. Thanks ;)

Now onto my Wattpad rant.

Lets rewind back to yesterday. I was in bed, sick, trying to strangle my computer into loading a single photo every five minutes. I was ready to go on Wattpad and read some funny stories in the humor category. This was not what happened.

Can I just say that it is possible to write a humor novel without romance? CAN I JUST SAY THAT IT IS POSSIBLE TO WRITE ANY NOVEL WITHOUT ROMANCE!! Apparently that is not possible for anyone on Wattpad to comprehend, BECAUSE I COULDN'T FIND MORE THEN A FEW STORIES WITHOUT SOME SORT OF ROMANCE!! Now before you tell me crap in the comments, I know that there are books without romance, I'm just REALLY worked up right now and need to rant.

But please, for the love of God, Mike and Ike, and anything else that is sacred in this damn world, please publish a book that is not about FREAKING ROMANCE (I know I'm a massive hypocrite because I'm working on a romance book right now, but I like to think it has a plot outside of 'and then he kissed me'). Please, PLEASE, I don't want to see freaking 'The Gang Leader Kidnapped Me' when I click into humor (NOT FREAKING ROMANCE). Also, why tf is there a cow on the front of the book??? 

Okay now that that's done, I'd just like to give a couple quick annoucements that will probably turn into around five paragraphs each.

1. I'd like to thank dearly MagicalBunny123 , one of my amazing friends from school. She wrote me the sweetest short story on her book Luminous Skies - A collection of 100 Word Stories, so check out her amazing books and follow her. And to my great friend (who shall be known as Bunny), thank you so much for the story, it made my day. And I'm sorry for not including you in the 'two friends on wattpad' stuff, I wrote these randomly without wifi and my mind was really muddled.

2. Did you guys know about the Wattpad cafe? I didn't until yesterday, and I'm super excited. I've created a couple of chats already, including a promo chat. If you don't know about the Wattpad cafe, or any of the clubs, they're really great places to make friends, share your work and get resources. Enjoy the new info!

3. I'm getting a new lapatop! If you guys are wondering why I haven't been posting as much, it's part because I'm on holiday, and part because my laptop is stuffing up. I've had a lot of trouble because my keyboard is messing up and a few keys are randomly not working. It's also really slow, has a short battery life, a cracked screen and not the right wifi for my school. My parents agreed to buy me a new laptop, which should last me the rest of highschool, and won't give me as much of a problem.

4. Thanks so much for the reads on both my stories! This blog already has around fifteen reads, which may not seem like a lot, but its only been up a few days. I was also blown away that 8-Bit has nearly 250 reads! Wow! Thanks guys so much for the reads, votes and comments. They make my day.

Random Thought of the Post: 

Runaways by Sam Feldt is an amazing song :P

QOTP: When did you join Wattpad?

Enjoy your day,

Callie ;)
