#JourneyToWattpad

The Challenge: When you are challenged, you have to publish a book like this and write about how you started writing/joined wattpad; after that, title it "#JourneyToWattpad" or something like that.

Special shout out to SilentCopper the little motherf#%&$& sh&@! fac!&@% who challenged me to do this as soon as I woke up ugh I'm too tired I don't wanna.

Ever since I was little, I was bullied. I was made fun of for my hair, my eyes... Just about any physical trait they could think of.

"Why are your eyes so weird?! No one has gold eyes!"

"You're so short, you'll never be able to be like the rest of us!"

"There's too many things wrong with you to even begin to describe; all in all, you're worthless."

These were the kinds of things I had to deal with since elementary school. I'd get my hair pulled, tripped as I walked by someone, punched in the gut here and there, pushed down in the hallways, and sometimes I'd even get shoved into a locker. It was brutal, and it got so bad that I hated my life. I had been playing Pokemon games since I was 8, and locking myself away in my room playing those games for hours is literally the only reason I survived.

I always liked to draw. I was never any good at it until my freshman year of high school, but I always liked to draw. My favorite thing to draw was: Pokemon. So, one day, I was trying to google pictures of Pokemon characters to draw, when I stumbled upon a picture for Vatonageshipping on Deviantart. I was just like: 0-0 whoa...what is this? What's a fanfiction?

XD well, my life became very obsessive and wrapped around fanfiction from there on out....

Once I got into reading gameverse fanfiction, I would get these book ideas in my head for one of the games that would be completely different and even better than the fanfiction I was currently reading. One of the times my dad and I went out to eat (we do this a lot, it's like a tradition for us to go out to lunch together and talk about the future and philosophies, etc.) I had confessed to him my discovery of Pokemon fanfiction, since I had no idea it even existed, and he suggested that I start writing my own.

I used to hate writing. It was boring. Dreary. Time consuming... I hated it. When we'd get assigned a poem or an essay to write in school, I'd basically give my teachers this look: -______-

I was never inspired to write anything, because my handwriting was HORRIBLE up until the 7th grade. My mom would constantly try to get me to change my handwriting, because it was that bad, but I was just too stubborn to listen to her until I was 13 XD so I went and bought a journal and started writing the alphabet in it over and over again. After I practiced that, I started writing actual sentences. And those sentences became paragraphs. I felt more inspired to write once my handwriting improved, but I still had to work on spelling/grammar. I never even learned any grammar until my freshman year of high school. Yeah...

When I started writing Pokemon fanfiction my sophomore year, it was...fun. Granted, my spelling/grammar was atrocious, but as I kept writing, my skills improved. When my sister found out I was writing a book in the notes on my iPhone, she literally dragged me over to her laptop and made me an account on her writing website: wattpad.

And that...is how I arrived at wattpad.

I challenge MelonLord7 and dragonrose8910 to do this challenge because I think everyone else I know did it already and I don't want to seem like a noob and not challenge anyone so meh here goes.
