I'm thrilled to be part of the #TNTWillContest here on Wattpad. TNT's newest TV show tells the tale of William Shakespeare, following the Bard's story when he was just a young, raw writer arriving in London. Isn't fascinating to think about Shakespeare, not as famous, but as someone as unsure as you or me? Someone who had a dream, and had no idea if he could beat the odds and become great? My story is about that moment of uncertainty, of hoping for greatness even when it seems far-fetched - and watch out for the twist! Enter your own story today - xxoo Kate
