"You're impossibly fast at typing. Your skin is pale white and ice cold from never leaving your computer. Your profile changes colour, and sometimes you speak like--like you're from different genres. You never eat or drink anything. You don't go out in the sunlight. ... How often do you update?" She stared at the horizon, afraid to see his reaction.
"Regularly," he replied. His voice echoed as he waited for me to say more.
"How long is regularly?" I managed to question.
"A while," he murmured
"I know what you are," I blurted out in a moment of confidence.
"Say it. Out loud. Say it!" His demand did not go unnoticed as he spun me around to face him.
"Writer."

I suppose to most readers, Wattpad writers seem to be the equivalent to vampires. With the demands for more updates, just when a writer has updated, it seems to lead us to the belief that we (the writers) don't do anything but write. Well I'd like to slay that myth and tell you all that we do, in fact, have lives. I know, shocking. But before we go any further, let me assure you this isn't a Twilight fanfiction gone wrong. It's more of my 7+ year journey to finishing my first novel.
7+ years!?

Well yeah, it started when I first accidentally stumbled across Wattpad. I was really young and looking for a free online book because my school library didn't have it yet. Back then, Wattpad had a bit of a problem with people publishing original stories for free when they weren't supposed to, for example, Harry Potter and Twilight.
Another perk back then, was that I wasn't forced to sign up straight away so there I went ahead and started reading. I didn't stop there, for some reason, I kept returning to return more stories. I can say I became full addicted to Wattpad in the summer of 2010, when I signed up. When did you sign up? How did you find this wonderful place? How old is your account?
