    Let's be honest: there's a lot of bad advice floating around on Reddit and TikTok about how to "hack" the Wattpad algorithm or use the hashtags. Most of it is incorrect. It's exhausting to see many writers being misled. I wrote this guide to clear the air and give writers a realistic blueprint to Wattpad. Whether you're crafting your first story, or you're a seasoned writer tired of shouting into the void, this book is here to help you build a genuine, permanent audience that will follow you for the rest of your Wattpad career. There are no hacks or myths here, just real but simple strategies that work. Inside this guidebook, you'll discover the blueprint to: - How the Wattpad algorithm and tagging system work behind the scenes to push your book to readers. - The elements needed to make your profile and book covers look engaging and professional, and that align with your genre. - The keys to writing intriguing first chapter hooks, detailed and entertaining summaries, and exciting, fast-paced chapters that keep readers reading, voting, and commenting before hitting the next chapter. - Essential safety tips to protect you, your account, and stories from wrongful deletion from Wattpad's website and bullying/harassment. You do NOT need a secret formula to succeed on Wattpad as a writer. You just need the right facts. Now, let's get to work!

    The full book is available now in both digital and physical formats on Amazon.com and the Authorhouse UK website. Links in my bio! ABOUT THE BOOK: Lemuria: Lost In Ruin is a tale of deception and injustice. Niarune is a young adult from a warrior tribe subjected to intense prejudice. All she knows is a contradicting history that makes less sense the more she investigates. What she knows for certain is that before Lemuria, her ancestors hailed from a destroyed country named Atlantis, and they are the ones being blamed. But in this world of magic and historical revisionism, the past will inevitably rear its ugly head and nobody will be the same afterward.

    Ellie Manuel is a hopeless romantic, stuck in a cubicle all day. She's in her twenties and should be having more fun. But instead of doing what she really wants, like traveling wherever her Philippine passport can take her, she's hung up on the guy who dumped her for not being "ambitious enough." Someone should tell her that there are other cool guys -- who probably even eat at the same office cafeteria! -- who would encourage her just to be her fabulous self. FAIRY TALE FAIL won the 2012 Filipino Readers' Choice award for Chick Lit. Complete book is here! Last 3 chapters are PRIVATE, followers only. Follow my account to read to the end. COMPLETE BOOK ALSO AVAILABLE ON AMAZON, B&N, ITUNES, KOBO, BUQO ETC. ============ TRANSLATION PROJECT ONGOING! Hello!

    Yeah so, I don't really understand the word LOVE (granted, l know how to say it in 5 languages...). So, I've decided to do 101 days straight of asking myself questions about LOVE. It's nothing immodest, I just want to know more about what LOVE IS (Besides a noun and verb) Disclaimer: most of the sources I'll use are references from all the fandoms that I've hooked onto over the years (and the odd internet search!), if you haven't already been ensnared by these fandoms, there will be spoilers. 1. Gakuen Alice (or just anime in general) 2. Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug and Chatnoir 3. Greek mythology 4. The Dragon Prince 5. Jelsa 6. Internet 7. Pinterest 8. The Bible 20/03/2021 Edit : sigh, you'd think that lockdown would give you more time for this... Welp, I'm in my GCSE years, so keeping up with this will probably only be possible on Sundays for now... If I remember...

    This coffeetable poetry book is for my dearly departed grandmother and all the artists who were told they should quit. My grandmother was a woman with gumption and loosing her was a type of pain I had never felt before and I have back disc damage so that is saying something. There is also a chapter on my Grandmother's play that she wrote a couple years before, she passed away from ALS. The chapter includes scenes 1-3. I created all the mixed media images and paintings.
